Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is associated with potentially pathogenic glycosylation of IgG
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose The structure of human IgG includes 2 internal glycans that modulate the conformation and function of the Fc region. Adult-type rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been associated with an elevated proportion of hypogalactosylated (G0) IgG that exhibits enhanced fixation of complement and greater pathogenicity in experimental murine arthritis. We aimed to determine the profile of IgG glycans in normal children and in those with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), for comparison with healthy adults and adult RA controls.

Anticardiolipin Antibodies in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) can either occur as a primary syndrome or associated with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) of IgG and/or IgM isotype in blood, measured by a standardized ELISA is the most acceptable laboratory criteria. APS IgG isotype, particularly IgG2 subclass is more strongly associated ...
متن کاملAgalactosyl glycoforms of IgG autoantibodies are pathogenic.
The glycosylation of IgG results in many different glycoforms. A large body of correlative data (including remission of arthritis during pregnancy) has suggested that IgG molecules lacking galactose were associated with rheumatoid arthritis. We now demonstrate that agalactosyl IgG glycoforms are directly associated with pathogenicity in murine collagen-induced arthritis. We show that passive tr...
متن کاملMacrophage activation syndrome in patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis treated with tocilizumab
Introduction Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a severe, potentially fatal complication of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). Changes in therapies, including biologics, have been associated with the onset of MAS. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a major pathogenic role in sJIA; data in animals suggest that high IL-6 levels contribute to the triggering of MAS [1]. Treatment with the ...
