Abstract
Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP), a rare type of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP), is smoking-related. However, some cases of DIP can also occur in non-smokers with autoimmune disorders. The diagnosis of DIP requires an invasive surgical lung biopsy, therefore, identifying a non-invasive diagnostic biomarker for DIP is crucial. This study aimed to elucidate autoantibodies specific for DIP and evaluate their diagnostic utility. Autoantibodies in the sera of patients with DIP were screened using immunoprecipitation. The common proteins recognized by autoantibodies in patients with DIP were identified using mass spectrometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and compared to other types of interstitial lung diseases (ILD) and pulmonary diseases. Several characteristic proteins commonly recognized by the sera of patients with DIP were revealed using immunoprecipitation and these proteins were identified as annexin A (ANXA) proteins using mass spectrometry. Using ELISA, autoantibodies to several ANXA were detected more frequently and specifically in DIP compared with those with other types of ILDs and pulmonary diseases. In particular, anti-ANXA4 antibodies had a sensitivity of 52.6 % and specificity of 99 % for DIP compared with those of other types of ILD. Therefore, anti-ANXAs antibodies, especially anti-ANXA4, could be a candidate diagnostic biomarker for DIP.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Autoimmunity serves as the primary publication for research on various facets of autoimmunity. These include topics such as the mechanism of self-recognition, regulation of autoimmune responses, experimental autoimmune diseases, diagnostic tests for autoantibodies, as well as the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of autoimmune diseases. While the journal covers a wide range of subjects, it emphasizes papers exploring the genetic, molecular biology, and cellular aspects of the field.
The Journal of Translational Autoimmunity, on the other hand, is a subsidiary journal of the Journal of Autoimmunity. It focuses specifically on translating scientific discoveries in autoimmunity into clinical applications and practical solutions. By highlighting research that bridges the gap between basic science and clinical practice, the Journal of Translational Autoimmunity aims to advance the understanding and treatment of autoimmune diseases.
