    • Antibodies to citrullinated proteins, common in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, are strongly associated to a specific set of HLA-DR alleles including HLA-DRB1*04:01, *04:04, and *01:01. Here, we first demonstrate that autoantibody levels toward the dominant citrullinated B cell epitope from alpha-enolase are significantly elevated in HLA-DRB1*04:01-positive RA patients. Furthermore, we identified alpha-enolase-derived T cell epitopes and demonstrated that native and citrullinated versions of several peptides bind with different affinities to HLA-DRB1*04:01, *04:04, and *01:01. The citrulline residues in the eight identified peptides are distributed throughout the entire length of the presented epitopes and more specifically, localized at peptide positions p-2, p2, p4, p6, p7, p10, and p11. Importantly, in contrast to its native version peptide 26 (TSKGLFRAAVPSGAS), the HLA-DRB1*04:01-restricted citrullinated peptide Cit26 (TSKGLFCitAAVPSGAS) elicited significant functional T cell responses in primary cells from RA patients. Comparative analysis of the crystal structures of HLA-DRB1*04:01 in complex with peptide 26 or Cit26 demonstrated that the posttranslational modification did not alter the conformation of the peptide. And since citrullination is the only structural difference between the two complexes, this indicates that the neo-antigen Cit26 is recognized by T cells with high specificity to the citrulline residue.

  • Thrombotic disease in systemic lupus erythematosus is associated with a maintained systemic platelet activation
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: British Journal of Haematology. - : Wiley. - 0007-1048. ; 125, s. 74-
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have an increased risk of thrombosis. Platelet-induced extracellular phosphorylation of plasma proteins suggests that this is due to persistent activation of the platelets. We examined 30 SLE patients (15 with thrombotic disease), 18 non-SLE patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and 50 healthy controls by analysing beta-thromboglobulin, activated factor XI-antithrombin complexes and fibrinogen-bound phosphate. All parameters were elevated in SLE patients, particularly those with thrombosis, but normal in DVT cases and healthy controls. We conclude that thrombotic disease in SLE patients is associated with a persistent systemic platelet activation that may lower the threshold for induction of thrombosis.
