IgG from patients with systemic sclerosis bind to DNA antitopoisomerase 1 in normal human fibroblasts extracts

چکیده
By using a semi-quantitative immunoblotting technique, we have analyzed serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) reactivities of patients with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis and anticentromere antibodies, patients with diffuse systemic sclerosis and antitopoisomerase 1 antibodies, patients with diffuse systemic sclerosis without antitopoisomerase 1 or anticentromere antibodies and age- and gender-matched healthy controls with normal human skin fibroblasts and HEp-2 cells antigens. Serum IgG reactivities of patients with diffuse systemic sclerosis and antitopoisomerase 1 antibodies differed significantly from those of healthy controls or systemic sclerosis patients in other groups for reactivity with fibroblast proteins. IgG from patients with antitopoisomerase 1 antibodies bound to a 90 kDa fibroblast band and to a 100 kDa protein band in a HEp-2 cell protein extract. These two bands were further identified as DNA topoisomerase 1. Our results indicate that IgG from patients with diffuse systemic sclerosis bind DNA topoisomerase 1 in normal human fibroblasts extracts.

ANTIBODY TO MITOCHONDRIAL COMPLEX-I IN SOME PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
When pooled immunoglobulin G (IgG) from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) was used to probe a human fetal spinal cord λgt 11 cDNA library, the IgG was found to bind to a predicted epitope of human mitochondrial ND4 sequence. To investigate the involvement of the ND4 as an autoantigen in MS, we determined the presence of specific antibody in the serum of MS patients and serum samples of...
متن کاملComparison of a Suggested Model of Fibrosis in Human Dermal Fibroblasts by Serum from Systemic Sclerosis Patients with Transforming Growth Factor β Induced in vitro Model
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease, featuring fibrosis in multiple organs. The serum from SSc patients contain inflammatory mediators, contributing to SSc pathogenesis and could be used to develop cell culture models. Here, we compared the fibrotic effects of serum samples from SSc patients with TGFβ1 on human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). HDF cells were cultured in four diff...

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease of the central nervous system (CNS), characterised by a cellular immune response in early stages and demyelination of the CNS later. Although the cause of MS is unknown, there is much evidence that points to MS as an autoimmune disease. To test the hypotheses that an Autoantigen is involved in MS, we screened a ?gt11 human foetal spinal ...

Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune rheumatic connective tissue disease. In normal wound healing process, fibroblasts are activated, proliferated and involved in tissue repair, and then removed by apoptosis. In systemic sclerosis, patient’s fibrosis occurs when fibroblasts become resistant to apoptosis and secrete a large amount of collagen and other extracellular matrixes. As...

Abstract Background and Aims: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is defined by the presence of inflammatory demyelinating plaques in the central nervous system (CNS). It has been indicated that human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) may play role in pathogenesis of MS. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of HHV-6 DNA and anti HHV-6 IgG in MS patients and controls. Materials and Methods: Bloo...
