OBJECTIVE: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients often develop rheumatoid factors (RFs), antibodies that bind IgG Fc, and anti-modified protein antibodies (AMPAs), multireactive autoantibodies that commonly bind citrullinated, homocitrullinated, and acetylated antigens. Recently, antibodies that bind citrulline-containing IgG epitopes were discovered in RA, suggesting that additional undiscovered IgG epitopes could exist and that IgG could be a shared antigen for RFs and AMPAs. This study was undertaken to reveal new IgG epitopes in rheumatic disease and to determine if multireactive AMPAs bind IgG.
METHODS: Using sera from patients with RA, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's disease (SjD), or spondyloarthropathy, IgG binding to native, citrulline-containing, and homocitrulline-containing linear epitopes of the IgG constant region was evaluated by peptide array, with highly bound epitopes further evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Binding of monoclonal AMPAs to IgG-derived peptides and IgG Fc was also evaluated by ELISA.
RESULTS: Seropositive RA sera showed high IgG binding to multiple citrulline- and homocitrulline-containing IgG-derived peptides, whereas anti-SSA+ sera from SjD patients showed consistent binding to a single linear native epitope of IgG in the hinge region. Monoclonal AMPAs bound citrulline- and homocitrulline-containing IgG peptides and modified IgG Fc.
CONCLUSION: The repertoire of epitopes bound by AMPAs includes modified IgG epitopes, positioning IgG as a common antigen that connects the otherwise divergent reactivities of RFs and AMPAs.
