Abstract
Objectives: To clarify the clinical features of anti-Ro52 antibody (Ab)-positive polymyositis (PM)/dermatomyositis (DM).
Methods: We retrospectively examined the clinical features and status of anti-Ro52 Abs in patients with PM/DM admitted to the University of Tsukuba Hospital between January 2019 and February 2023. We compared the anti-Ro52 Ab-positive and anti-Ro52 Ab-negative groups.
Results: A total of 40 patients were selected and analysed. Twenty-three cases were PM, and 17 cases were DM (including six clinically amyopathic DM). Twenty-two cases were positive for anti-Ro52 Ab, 14 for anti-ARS Ab, and 6 for anti-MDA5 Ab. Interstitial lung disease was detected in 29 cases, nine of which were rapidly progressive. Glucocorticoid-resistant cardiomyopathy was detected in six cases. Of the 22 anti-Ro52 Ab-positive cases, only 3 were single-positive and the remaining 19 cases simultaneously had other autoantibodies. Comparing the anti-Ro52 Ab-positive and anti-Ro52 Ab-negative groups, the frequencies of anti-ARS Ab positivity (63.6% vs. 0%), interstitial lung disease (95.5% vs. 44.4%), glucocorticoid-resistant cardiomyopathy (27.3% vs. 0%), concomitant use of immunosuppressants (95.5% vs. 55.6%), and levels of C-reactive protein were significantly higher in the anti-Ro52 Ab-positive group (P < .05).
Conclusions: Anti-Ro52 Abs were frequently positive in PM/DM, and may be useful as a severity marker.
目的明确抗Ro52抗体(Ab)阳性多发性肌炎(PM)/皮肌炎(DM)的临床特征:我们回顾性研究了2019年1月至2023年2月期间筑波大学附属医院收治的PM/DM患者的临床特征和抗Ro52抗体状态。我们比较了抗 Ro52 Ab 阳性组和阴性组:共选取了 40 名患者进行分析。诊断时的中位年龄为 61.5(48.8-69.3)岁,34 例为女性。23例为PM,17例为DM(包括6例临床淀粉样变性皮肌炎:CADM)。22例抗Ro52抗体阳性,14例抗ARS抗体阳性,6例抗MDA5抗体阳性。29例患者出现间质性肺病(ILD),其中9例病情进展迅速。6例检测出糖皮质激素(GC)抵抗性心肌病,3例检测出恶性肿瘤,4例检测出Sjögren综合征(SS)。在 22 例抗 Ro52 Ab 阳性病例中,只有 3 例为单一阳性,其余 19 例同时存在其他自身抗体。对比抗Ro52抗体阳性组和阴性组,抗Ro52抗体阳性组的抗ARS抗体阳性率(63.6% vs. 0%)、ILD(95.5% vs. 44.4%)、GC抵抗性心肌病(27.3% vs. 0%)、同时使用免疫抑制剂(95.5% vs. 55.6%)和C反应蛋白(CRP)水平均显著高于抗Ro52抗体阳性组(p结论:PM/DM 患者的抗 Ro52 Ab 常呈阳性,抗 Ro52 Ab 阳性患者的抗ARS Ab 阳性率、ILD、GC-抵抗性心肌病、同时使用免疫抑制剂和 CRP 水平明显更高。抗Ro52抗体可作为 PM/DM 的严重程度标记物。
