OBJECTIVES To evaluate the role of serum IgG, IgM and IgA anti-dsDNA antibody isotypes in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and their association with clinical features and disease activity, in a large cohort of SLE patients. METHODS Sera of 200 SLE patients (mean age 34±10.3 years; 26 male and 174 female; median duration of disease 115 months, range 7-378), and of 206 cont...
Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) participates in renal fibrosis by downregulating Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1)-mediated cytokine signaling. Recently, it was found that anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) IgG induces the synthesis of profibrotic cytokines by renal cells. To explore the potential effect of anti-dsDNA IgG on SOCS1-mediated...
An electrochemical DNA detection format has been developed to allow simple and rapid assays with downsized instruments. Since naphthalene diimide derivatives are known to bind to double stranded DNA (dsDNA) with threading intercalation, they are stabilized by pseudo-catenane formation. For example, ferrocenylnaphthalene diimide (FND) can be efficiently concentrated on dsDNA, thus enabling its...
OBJECTIVES To correlate the kinetics of B-cell repopulation with relapse after B-cell depletion therapy in SLE patients and address whether variation in relapse rate, B-cell numbers and phenotype are related to anti-dsDNA antibody levels. METHODS Sixty-one patients with refractory SLE were treated with a standard rituximab regimen. Clinical and serological measures of disease activity and B-c...
Our previous study demonstrated that activated lymphocyte derived DNA (ALD-DNA) could function as an autoantigen to induce production of anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies in syngeneic BALB/c mice. Here we carefully evaluated the potential role of T cells in the induction of anti-dsDNA antibody. We demonstrated that ALD-DNA could effectively induce production of anti-dsDNA antibod...
Objective We sought to evaluate different anti-double-stranded DNA assays for their performance characteristics in monitoring disease activity fluctuations in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods 36 active SLE patients were followed monthly. At each study visit (total n = 371), blood was collected and disease activity was scored using the SELENA-SLEDAI (excluding anti-dsDNA or compleme...
Ethidium bromide (EtBr) is the conventional intercalator for visualizing DNA. Previous studies suggested that EtBr lengthens and unwinds double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). However, no one has observed the unwinding of a single dsDNA molecule during intercalation. We developed a simple method to observe the twisting motions of a single dsDNA molecule under an optical microscope. A short dsDNA was atta...
Interactions between a murine monoclonal anti-DNA autoantibody (BV17-45) and DNA were examined by direct binding and competitive radioimmunoassays. Binding isotherms constructed by titration of purified BV17-45 with a series of distinct 32P-labeled double-stranded DNA ([32P]dsDNA) fragments were super-impossible, suggesting: 1) BV17-45/[32P]dsDNA binding is independent of dsDNA size using fragm...
A spontaneous, autoreactive autoantibody called SN5-18 (IgG2b, kappa) binds to a complex of H2A/H2B/dsDNA in chromatin, but erroneously appears to bind dsDNA when the Ab is used in a form that is not highly purified. Because of this finding, we evaluated the antigenic specificity of a prototypic anti-dsDNA Ab, 3H9/Vkappa4, now used widely in transgenic studies of tolerance and autoimmunity. We ...
Flutamide (Flu) is a chemotherapeutic drug, used for the treatment of prostate cancer. It functions by interfering DNA in fast growing cells and preventing them from reproducing. The present work is focused on the interaction of Flu with single and double stranded DNA at different temperatures and at physiological pH 7.4 (human blood pH). Cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and UV–visib...
