Objective: Anti-Ro52 antibodies are frequently co-occur with other myositis-specific and myositis-associated autoantibodies, we here to study this phenomenon in Chinese patients suspected with inflammatory myopathies. Methods: In the study, 1 509 patients clinically suspected with inflammatory myopathies were tested for 11 kinds of myositis-specific and myositis-associated autoantibodies (including: anti-Jo-1, PL-7, PL-12, EJ, OJ, Mi-2, SRP, Ku, PM-Scl 75, PM-Scl 100, and Ro52 antibo-dies) by line-blot immunoassay from 2010 to 2016 in Peking University First Hospital. This retrospective study was to analyze these results to reveal the characteristics of anti-Ro52 antibodies co-occuring with other myositis autoantibodies. The data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 and Graph Pad PRISM for Chi-square test, independent t-test, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and drawing statistical graphs. Significance level was set at P<0.05. Results: The positive rate of anti-Ro52 antibodies was 18.3% (276/1 509 cases), which was the most frequently detected myositis antibodies in our center. 51.8% (143/276) of the patients with anti-Ro52 antibodies were combined with the other myositis antibodies, and the most common co-occurred antibodies were anti-SRP antibodies (18.8%, 52/276), and the second common co-occurred antibodies were anti-Jo-1 antibodies (13.0%, 36/276). Anti-Ro52 antibodies were the most common antibodies that co-occurred in other myositis antibodies positive patients except in anti-OJ antibodies positive group. The co-positive rate with anti-Ro52 antibodies was the lowest in anti-PM-Scl 75 positive group (30.4%, 31/102), and the highest in anti-EJ positive group (80.0%, 12/15). The positive rate of anti-Ro52 antibodies in anti-synthase antibodies (including anti-Jo-1, EJ, OJ, PL-7, and PL-12 antibodies) positive group was 57.3% (75/131), which was significantly higher than that in the other antibodies (including: anti-Mi-2, SRP, Ku, PM-Scl 75, and PM-Scl 100 antibodies) positive group with 35.2% (119/338) (χ2=18.916, P<0.001). The intensity of anti-Jo-1, EJ, and SRP antibodies in the group of the patients that co-occurred with anti-Ro52 antibodies was significantly higher than that in the other group without anti-Ro52 antibodies respectively (P<0.05). The intensity of anti-SRP antibodies was significantly correlated with that of anti-Ro52 antibodies (r=0.44, P=0.001). Conclusion: Anti-Ro52 antibodies were commonly associated with other myositis-specific and myositis-associated autoantibodies, especially with anti-synthase antibodies, and the co-presence of anti-Ro52 antibodies may be correlated with the myositis antibody intensity.
