Anti-triosephosphate isomerase antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid are associated with neuropsychiatric lupus
چکیده انگلیسی

We detected anti-triosephosphate isomerase antibodies (anti-TPI) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in 5 of 12 neuropsychiatric lupus patients (41.6%) by Western blotting. C3d index was significantly higher in anti-TPI-positive patient (n = 5, median 0.446) than in anti-TPI-negative patient (n = 7, median 0.098) (p = 0.019) CSF samples. TPI was detected from immune complexes (IC) isolated from CSF in 2 of 2 anti-TPI-positive patients tested and was not detected from IC in 5 of 5 anti-TPI-negative patients tested. Our results suggest that anti-TPI form IC in CSF and contribute to the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric lupus by activating the complement system.
