Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical significance and diagnostic value of anti-proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) antibodies.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted for the diagnoses and clinical features of 102 patients with anti-PCNA antibodies.Line immunoassay was used to detect anti-PCNA antibody of 536 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.Possible relationship between anti-PCNA anti-body and clinical features and other antibodies in SLE were analyzed.Comparisons between groups were performed by t-test or x2 test.Results In the 102 patients with anti-PCNA antibodies,49 had SLE (48.0%).Other disorders associated with anti-PCNA antibodies included primary Sj(o)gren's syndrome(24.5%),systemic sclerosis (12.7%),primary biliary cirrhosis (3.9%),auto-immune thyroiditis (6.9%),polymyositis/dermatomyositis (2.0%) and hepatitis C virus infection (1.0%).9.1% of SLE patients showed positive anti-PCNA antibody.Compared with those SLE patients with negative anti-PCNA antibody,the occurrences of rash,neuropsychiatric SLE,renal involvement was significantly higher in the anti-PCNA positive patients.In addition,the SLEDAI score was significantly higher in the latter.The positive rates of anti-Rib-P,anti-dsDNA,anti-Ro52,anti-RNP/Sm were higher in patients of SLE with positive anti-PCNA antibody.Conclusion Sera anti-PCNA antibody is not specific for SLE and it is associated with the occurrences of rash,Raynaud's phenomenon,neuropsychiatric SLE,renal involvement and positive rates of anti-Rib-P,anti-dsDNA,antiRo52,anti-RNP/Sm.In addition,anti-PCNA antibody is associa-ted with the disease activity of SLE.
