Associations between antinuclear antibody staining patterns and clinical features of systemic lupus erythematosus: analysis of a regional Swedish register

Abstract: ObjectiveAntinuclear antibody (ANA) analysis by immunofluorescence (IF) microscopy remains a diagnostic hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The clinical relevance of ANA fine-specificities in SLE has been addressed repeatedly, whereas studies on IF-ANA staining patterns in relation to disease manifestations are very scarce. This study was performed to elucidate whether different staining patterns associate with distinct SLE phenotypes.DesignObservational cohort study.SettingOne university hospital … Show more

“…Frodlund ve ark. 'ları immünfloresan yöntemiyle ANA pozitifliğinin devam ettiği SLE tanılı hastalar arasında yaptıkları çalışmada ANA paternlerini %62 oranında homojen ± diğer patern, %10'unda sadece granüler patern olarak rapor etmişlerdir (21). Bizim çalışmamızda immünfloresan yöntemiyle ANA paterni değerlendirilen SLE tanılı hastaların %35,8'i homojen patern, %22,2'si homojen patern + diğer paternler, %24,7'si granüler patern, %8,7'si granüler + diğer paternler, %7,4'ü sadece nükleolar patern ve %1,2'si sadece sentromer patern olarak bulunmuştur.…”

“…Keadaan ini berbeda dengan Frodlund dkk. 8 yang mengemukakan tidak ada perbedaan keterlibatan gangguan hematologi pada berbagai pola ANA. Pola homogen diduga berkaitan dengan anti-dsDNA, anti-histon, dan juga antikompleks DNA/histon.…”

“…The ACR-82 criteria are shown in Table I and exemplify typical manifestations of SLE. Among the most common manifestations of SLE (>30% of patients) are arthritis/arthralgia, malar rash, fever and photosensitivity whereas epilepsy, psychosis, and oral ulcers constitute relatively rare manifestations [4,8]. In order to fulfil the ACR-82 criteria, at least four of the listed conditions must be met (Table I) [6].…”

“…A prolonged extracellular exposure of nuclear components can cause structural alterations which may result in immunogenic epitopes that are able to activate an immune response [13]. ANAs are examples of autoantibodies that are characteristic of SLE and include the anti-dsDNA, antibodies to U1 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), anti-Smith (anti-Sm), anti-Ro/SSA and antiLa/SSB autoantibodies [8]. Interestingly, there are also studies showing an overrepresentation in SLE of autoantibodies against proteins that are involved in the elimination of cell debris, like C1q [23], serum amyloid P (SAP) [24], and CRP [25,26] (further described in the CRP section).…”
