However, these autoantibodies are also detectable in healthy individuals, patients with non-rheumatic autoimmune diseases, those with viral infections, and subjects using specific medications (such as procainamide, hydralazine, and minocycline) that can lead to drug-induced ANA elevation. The standard method for ANA detection is indirect immunofluorescence, a process that requires precision and thoroughness as it assesses both titer and fluorescence patterns. Additionally, immunoblotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are recommended to identify specific ANAs precisely, highlighting the importance of precision in ANA detection. This review explores the advantages and limitations of current ANA detection methods. It also describes the clinical implications of ANA presence in non-rheumatic diseases, including autoimmune disorders, infectious conditions, non-autoimmune and non-infectious diseases, and autoimmune cutaneous diseases. The presence of elevated ANA titers in these contexts can complicate clinical decision-making, as the diagnostic value of ANA testing alone is limited in non-rheumatic conditions. However, despite these limitations, ANA remains a key component in diagnosing and prognosis systemic CTDs, as it can indicate disease activity, severity, and response to treatment, which is of utmost importance in rheumatology and internal medicine. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the role of ANA in non-rheumatic diseases. It focuses on ANA diagnostic and prognostic significance and offers valuable insights for clinical practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":8389,"journal":{"name":"Archivum Immunologiae et Therapiae Experimentalis","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142999202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lymphocytes exposed to ozone for 12 s showed minimal changes in PD-1, PD-L1, and CD200/CD200R expression levels, indicating that oxidative stress does not impact the signaling pathways regulating these molecules. The significant upregulation of <i>Bcl-2</i> at 12 s highlights the cells' effort to protect themselves from prolonged oxidative stress, possibly tipping the balance toward cell survival and tissue repair. However, the absence of changes in PD-1 and PD-L1 expression on lymphocytes under oxidative stress suggests that these molecules are not sensitive to oxidative stress in this context.</p>","PeriodicalId":8389,"journal":{"name":"Archivum Immunologiae et Therapiae Experimentalis","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142279877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
