Abstract

Objective: To investigate the significance of anti-histidyl tRNA synthetase (Jo-1) antibody in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and its diseases spectrum. Methods: We enrolled all the patients who were tested positive for anti-Jo-1 antibody by immunoblotting in Peking University People's Hospital between 2016 and 2022. And the patients diagnosed with anti-synthetase antibody syndrome (ASS) with negative serum anti-Jo-1 antibody were enrolled as controls. We analyzed the basic information, clinical characteristics, and various inflammatory and immunological indicators of the patients at the onset of illness. Results: A total of 165 patients with positive anti-Jo-1 antibody were enrolled in this study. Among them, 80.5% were diagnosed with connective tissue disease. And 57.6% (95/165) were diagnosed with IIM, including ASS (84/165, 50.9%), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (7/165, 4.2%) and dermatomyositis (4/165, 2.4%). There were 23.0% (38/165) diagnosed with other connective tissue disease, mainly including rheumatoid arthritis (11/165, 6.7%), undifferentiated connective tissue disease (5/165, 3.0%), interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (5/165, 3.0%), undifferentiated arthritis (4/165, 2.4%), Sjögren's syndrome (3/165, 1.8%), systemic lupus erythematosus (3/165, 1.8%), systemic vasculitis (3/165, 1.8%), and so on. Other cases included 3 (1.8%) malignant tumor patients, 4 (2.4%) infectious cases and so on. The diagnoses were not clear in 9.1% (15 /165) of the cohort. In the analysis of ASS subgroups, the group with positive serum anti-Jo-1 antibody had a younger age of onset than those with negative serum anti-Jo-1 antibody (49.9 years vs. 55.0 years, P=0.026). Clinical manifestations of arthritis (60.7% vs. 33.3%, P=0.002) and myalgia (47.1% vs. 22.2%, P=0.004) were more common in the ASS patients with positive anti-Jo-1 antibody. With the increase of anti-Jo-1 antibody titer, the incidence of the manifestations of arthritis, mechanic hands, Gottron sign and Raynaud phenomenon increased, and the proportion of abnormal creatine kinase and α-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase index increased in the ASS patients. The incidence of myalgia and myasthenia were significantly more common in this cohort when anti-Jo-1 antibody-positive ASS patients were positive for one and more myositis specific antibodies/myositis associated autoantibodies (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The disease spectrum in patients with positive serum anti-Jo-1 antibody includes a variety of diseases, mainly ASS. And anti-Jo-1 antibody can also be found in many connective tissue diseases, malignant tumor, infection and so on.

特发性炎性肌病(idiopathic inflammatory myo-pathies,IIM)是一组以横纹肌和皮肤慢性炎症为特征的异质性疾病[1],包括皮肌炎、抗合成酶综合征(anti-synthetase antibody syndrome,ASS)、免疫介导坏死性肌病(immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy,IMNM)、包涵体肌炎和多肌炎[2]。IIM发病机制尚不完全清楚,患者机体对自身抗原的异常反应是发病的主要原因之一[3-4]。在血清学方面,抗组氨酰tRNA合成酶(histidyl tRNA synthetase, Jo-1)抗体是ASS最常见的抗体,能在约30%的ASS患者体内测出[5]。既往文献表明,不仅IIM患者抗Jo-1抗体阳性,很多其他结缔组织病(connective tissue disease,CTD)及非CTD患者的血清中也可以检测到该抗体,如类风湿关节炎、系统性红斑狼疮等[6-10],但多为个案报道或针对单一疾病的报道,目前缺乏归纳抗Jo-1抗体疾病谱的系统性大样本研究。

抗Jo-1抗体可以影响患者的临床特征,研究发现抗Jo-1抗体造成器官损伤可能与循环中的Jo-1、肌肉内皮细胞中的补体密切相关[11-12],既往文献描述,抗Jo-1抗体阳性IIM患者临床主要表现为关节炎、肌肉受累和间质性肺病(interstitial lung disease,ILD)[13-14],但抗Jo-1抗体在其他疾病中的作用并不完全清楚。本研究旨在通过大样本真实世界研究,分析抗Jo-1抗体阳性患者的临床表现和实验室检查数据,探究抗Jo-1抗体阳性患者的疾病谱及临床特点。

1 资料与方法

1.1 一般资料

纳入2016—2022年于北京大学人民医院检测肌炎谱的患者中所有抗Jo-1抗体阳性患者,记录患者起病的基本信息[起病年龄、性别,初次就诊时血常规、肌酸激酶(creatine kinase,CK)、乳酸脱氢酶(lactate dehydrogenase,LDH)、α-羟丁酸脱羧酶(α-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase,α-HBD)等]、临床诊断、临床表现以及多种炎症指标、免疫学指标。IIM的诊断符合美国风湿病学会及欧洲抗风湿病学联盟分类标准[15];ASS的诊断符合Solomon标准[16],即抗合成酶抗体阳性同时合并任意2种主要指标或1种主要指标及2种次要指标[主要指标:①排除其他原因的间质性肺病,②符合Bohan和Peter标准的皮肌炎或多肌炎;次要指标:①关节炎,②雷诺现象(Raynaud phenomenon),③技工手];IMNM的诊断符合国际共识[17]。此外,本研究同时纳入45例同期于北京大学人民医院诊断为抗Jo-1抗体阴性的ASS患者[抗异亮氨酰tRNA合成酶(isoleucyl tRNA synthetase,OJ)抗体、抗甘氨酰tRNA合成酶(glycyl tRNA synthetase,EJ)抗体、抗苏氨酰tRNA合成酶(threonyl tRNA synthetase,PL-7)抗体或抗丙氨酸tRNA合成酶(alanine tRNA synthetase,PL-12)抗体阳性]作为对照,对照组ASS患者符合Solomon标准[16]

在免疫学指标方面,检测了肌炎相关抗体(myositis associated antibodies,MAAs)和肌炎特异性抗体(myositis specific antibodies,MSAs),包括抗核小体重塑-去乙酰化酶复合物组成成分(component of the nucleosome remodeling-deacetylase complex,Mi-2)、抗转录中介因子1γ(transcriptional intermediary factor 1γ,TIF-1γ)、小泛素样修饰激活酶(small ubiquitin like modifier activating enzyme,SAE)、黑色素瘤分化相关基因5(melanoma differentiation associated gene 5,MDA5)、核基质蛋白2(nuclear matrix protein 2,NXP2)、信号识别颗粒(signal recognition particle,SRP)、Ro-52、Ku、PM-Scl、抗PL-7、抗PL-12、抗EJ、抗OJ抗体和抗核抗体(anti-nuclear antibody,ANA)。

在其他实验室检查方面,我们定义C反应蛋白(C-reaction protein,CRP)>10 mg/L为CRP升高,男性红细胞沉降率(erythrocyte sedimentation rate,ESR)>15 mm/h、女性ESR>20 mm/h为ESR升高,CK>165 U/L为CK升高,LDH>245 U/L为LDH升高,α-HBD>182 U/L为α-HBD升高。

1.2 检测方法

抗Jo-1抗体的检测应用免疫印迹法,带有天然Jo-1(利用亲和层析法从小牛和兔胸腺中纯化)的试纸孵育后,用EUROLineScan软件进行判读,+、++、+++分别表示抗体滴度的低、中、高。

1.3 统计学处理

本研究采用SPSS 23.0进行统计学分析。符合正态分布的计量资料用均数±标准差表示,采用t检验进行统计分析;不符合正态分布的计量资料用中位数(25%分位数,75%分位数)表示,采用Wil-coxon秩和检验进行统计分析;分类变量用例数(百分数)表述,使用卡方检验及Fisher’s精确概率检验进行统计分析。在分析临床特征与抗Jo-1抗体滴度相关性时使用Spearman秩相关分析,P < 0.05为差异有统计学意义。

2.3 抗Jo-1抗体滴度与临床特点

依据抗Jo-1抗体滴度+、++、+++将患者分为低、中、高三组,其中低滴度组15例(25.0%),中等滴度组15例(38.5%),高滴度组54例(81.8%),图 2展示了抗Jo-1抗体不同滴度组的疾病分布。将抗Jo-1抗体滴度与ASS患者临床特点进行Spearman秩相关分析发现,在临床表现方面,关节炎、技工手、雷诺现象、Gottron征的发生率均随抗体滴度的升高而升高(P < 0.05);在实验室检查方面,随着抗Jo-1抗体滴度升高,患者CK和α-HBD升高的发生率增加(P<0.05,表 2),抗Jo-1抗体滴度低、中、高组的CK值依次为67.0(40.0,284.0) U/L、186.0(83.0,494.0) U/L和414.0(121.0,1 288.5) U/L,α-HBD值依次为247.5(144.3,287.0) U/L、234.0(159.0,293.0) U/L和275(201.5,367.0) U/L。

抗Jo-1抗体是肌炎特异性抗体之一,本研究结果显示抗Jo-1抗体阳性患者的疾病多样,有57.6%的患者最终诊断为IIM,50.9%诊断为ASS,除外IIM的CTD患者占23.6%。在除外IIM的CTD中,类风湿关节炎是最多的诊断,以往研究显示,ASS在疾病早期往往不会表现出经典的关节炎、肌炎、ILD三联征,可只表现出关节症状,导致部分ASS在早期被诊断为类风湿关节炎,也有部分病例最终被认为是ASS与类风湿关节炎重叠[7],因此,这部分诊断为非肌炎CTD的患者需继续随访观察。本研究有31例患者未被诊断为CTD,Mielnik等[18]的研究表明,部分IIM患者在表现出肌炎相关症状前可以检测到抗Jo-1抗体阳性,因此本研究中部分未被诊断为CTD的患者可能是IIM早期,最终可能分化进展为肌炎。与以往研究[19]相比,本研究诊断IIM的比例较低,推测在未诊断为IIM的患者中有部分未表现出典型症状者可能被遗漏掉,需密切随访观察。

在ASS患者的亚组分析中,抗Jo-1阳性的ASS患者发病年龄更早,更多表现为肌痛和关节炎,而ESR升高的发生率更低。在抗Jo-1抗体阴性的ASS亚组中,其他抗合成酶抗体(抗EJ、OJ、PL-7、PL-12抗体)的阳性率相应更高,Ge等[20]的研究提示,抗OJ抗体阳性ASS患者ESR高于抗Jo-1抗体阳性ASS患者,这与本研究抗Jo-1阳性ASS患者ESR升高比例低于阴性组的结果相一致。既往研究表明,抗Jo-1抗体阳性与技工手、ILD、肌炎、关节炎、雷诺现象等症状有关[21],在Aggarwal等[19]的研究结果中,抗Jo-1抗体阴性ASS患者组与阳性组相比起病年龄更晚,常无典型肌炎表现,更多表现出ILD、肺动脉高压等肺部受累表现,而肺部受累患者普遍预后差、死亡率高。本研究结果在起病年龄和肌肉受累方面与既往结果类似,与抗Jo-1抗体阳性ASS患者相比,抗Jo-1抗体阴性ASS患者的ILD比例更高,但未发现统计学意义,尚需加大样本量进一步探究。

本组84例抗Jo-1抗体阳性的ASS患者中,随着抗Jo-1抗体滴度的升高,关节炎、技工手、Gottron征、雷诺现象更加多见,且CK及α-HBD异常的比例升高。Liu等[22]的研究表明,抗Jo-1抗体阳性患者多存在白细胞、ESR、CRP、CK、LDH等指标水平的升高,Zhao等[23]的研究提示,血清抗Jo-1抗体水平与疾病活动度相关,本研究发现大量结缔组织受累表现和肌肉损害相关指标与抗Jo-1抗体的抗体滴度相关,表明抗Jo-1抗体可能介导机体某些炎症反应及肌肉组织损伤,后续研究可以就抗Jo-1抗体水平能否作为预测患者疾病活动和预后的指标进行探究。本研究发现随着抗Jo-1抗体滴度升高,诊断为ASS的比例也随之升高,由前可知随着抗Jo-1抗体的升高,Gottron征、技工手、关节炎及肌炎相关指标升高的发生率更高,因此,我们认为高滴度的抗Jo-1抗体可能对ASS更有诊断价值。

值得注意的是,本研究结果中抗Jo-1抗体阳性患者白细胞升高大多以中性粒细胞为主,淋巴细胞绝对值多正常甚至下降,Zhang等[24]的研究曾发现,抗Jo-1抗体可促进中性粒细胞胞外诱捕网的功能,这与肌炎的发病以及ILD的加重有关,可以解释本研究中中性粒细胞升高的结果。Kryštůfková等[25]的研究发现抗Jo-1抗体可以与肿瘤坏死因子家族B细胞活化因子相互作用促进炎症反应,Ascherman等[26]的研究结果提示T细胞与抗Jo-1抗体的作用机制相关,这均与本研究中淋巴细胞普遍降低的结果不一致。抗Jo-1抗体与免疫细胞亚群的相互作用还需要被进一步研究。

恶性肿瘤是IIM较为常见的合并症,以往研究表明,抗合成酶抗体是IIM合并恶性肿瘤的保护因素[27],这与本研究的结果相一致,但本研究中仅2例ASS患者合并肿瘤,其临床指导意义较小,抗Jo-1抗体与恶性肿瘤的关系以及作用机制尚需更深入地探究。

本研究中抗Jo-1抗体与其他肌炎抗体的组合多样,其中抗Jo-1抗体最常合并抗Ro-52抗体,与郑艺明等[28]的研究结果一致。本研究中ASS患者多集中在抗Jo-1抗体合并其他MAAs/MSAs阳性患者中,可见抗Jo-1抗体合并其他肌炎抗体阳性对于ASS的诊断有一定提示意义。抗Jo-1抗体合并其他MAAs/MSAs阳性的ASS患者出现肌痛、肌无力的比例更高,疾病表现更加严重。Marie等[29]的研究也发现合并抗Ro-52抗体阳性的抗Jo-1抗体阳性ASS患者更易损伤关节和肌肉,说明不同的肌炎抗体可能存在相互协同的关系,抗体之间的相互作用值得进一步探究。

本研究存在一定的局限性:首先,本研究为单中心横断面回顾性研究,有待扩大样本进行随访;其次,本研究所用检测抗Jo-1抗体的方法为免疫印记法,为非定量检测,期待其他检测方法应用于临床以进一步验证。

综上所述,抗Jo-1抗体阳性患者疾病谱广,以ASS为主;抗Jo-1抗体阳性ASS患者相较于阴性患者起病更早,更易累及肌肉和关节,抗Jo-1抗体阴性ASS患者更易出现ESR升高;随着抗Jo-1抗体滴度升高,ASS患者累及结缔组织的临床表现和肌肉损伤指标异常情况发生率升高,总体疾病活动度更高,病情更加严重;抗Jo-1抗体可与MAAs/MSAs同时存在,在合并其他肌炎抗体阳性时,ASS患者更多表现出肌痛、肌无力,疾病表现更重。
