Autoantibodies to mitochondrial 2-oxo-acid dehydrogenase complexes in localized scleroderma

Abstract: SUMMARYSera from patients with localized scleroderma frequently produce cytoplasmic staining by indirect immunofluorescence, although the antigen remains to be determined. We studied the prevalence, antigen specificity and associated clinical characteristics of anti-cytoplasmic antibodies in localized scleroderma. Serum samples from 60 patients with localized scleroderma were examined by indirect immunofluorescence analysis and immunoblotting. By immunofluorescence analysis on HEp-2 cell substrate, seven of 60… Show more

“…Ten cases of morphea have been described in association with PBC (Table I). 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 Early intervention of asymptomatic patients with ursodeoxycholic acid may delay histologic progression of PBC 14 . Abnormal liver enzymes in a patient with morphea should therefore prompt assessment for autoimmune-mediated liver disease.…”

“…Progressive systemic sclerosis · Disseminated plaque like circumscribed scleroderma · Antimitochondrial antibodies · Primary biliary cirrhosis · Ursodeoxychol acid treatment [14], 8% [18], 10% [6,7] und 15% [11] angegeben, wobei das fakultative assoziierte Auftreten einer PBC beschrieben wird [6,7,18]. Aus den Publikationen der zitierten Autoren geht nicht hervor, daß sie bei ihren M2-AK-positiven Sklerodermiefällen mittels ERCP und Leberbiopsien nach einer koinzidenten PBC gesucht haben, wie dies bei unseren entsprechenden Patienten konsequent geschah und zum Erfolg führte [6,7,11,14,18].…”

“…M2-AK sind ein Subtyp antimitochondrialer Antikörper (AMA). Lediglich Fujimoro et al fand den für die PBC neben M2-AK zusätzlich das Vorliegen von E1α-AK [6,7]. Er ist ein Schlüsselenzym des Glucosestoffwechsels.…”
