Popis: Background An increase in the number of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) reactivities precede RA onset, and may be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. The presence of ACPA is associated with radiographic progression in RA, and it has been suggested that ACPAs with different reactivities may be associated with different phenotypes of RA. Objectives To assess the prevalence of baseline ACPA reactivities in an inception cohort of early RA patients, including subgroups based on anti-CCP/RF status, and to compare the findings to healthy controls. Methods 217 DMARD-naive early RA patients from the ARCTIC trial (1) were analysed. Radiographs were scored according to van der Heijde Sharp (vdHS) score. Anti-CCP status was analysed by FEIA (pos. if ≥10 IU/mL) and RF by ELISA (pos. if ≥25 IU/mL). ACPA titres (AU/ml) were considered pos. if above the 98-perc. of values in 619 non-RA subjects. Analysis of 13 ACPA reactivities targeting citrullinated peptides from fibrinogen, alpha-1 enolase, vimentin, fillagrin and histone was performed at baseline in patients and 94 controls (blood donors matched for age/gender/smoking), using a multiplex chip-based assay (2). Results Baseline characteristics are presented in the table. The figure shows the prevalence of ACPA reactivities in the subgroups, with median [IQR] number of antibody reactivities in all patients 7 [3,10], compared to 0 [0,0] in controls (p Conclusions Prevalence of ACPA reactivities differed in subgroups of DMARD-naive early RA patients according to anti-CCP and RF status. All RA subgroups, including RF- and anti-CCP- patients, had higher prevalence of ACPA reactivities compared to healthy controls. References Haavardsholm et al BMJ 2016.
