OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and PBC-associated autoantibodies in Japanese systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients.
METHODS: Clinical data from 225 Japanese SSc patients were retrospectively obtained. Serum samples from these patients were examined for PBC-associated autoantibodies, anti-mitochondrial M2 antibodies (AMA), anti-sp100 antibodies (anti-sp100), and anti-gp210 antibodies (anti-gp210) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
RESULTS: Of 225 patients, 37 (16.4%) had AMA, 13 (5.8%) had anti-sp100, and 3 (1.3%) had anti-gp210. Three patients were positive for both AMA and anti-sp100, and 2 were positive for both AMA and anti-gp210. PBC was found in 22 (9.8%) patients positive for AMA with or without anti-sp100 or anti-gp210, but not in those with anti-sp100 or anti-gp210 without AMA. Furthermore, 13 patients lacking these three antibodies were diagnosed with or suspected of PBC by liver biopsy and/or their clinical manifestation. Multivariable analysis revealed that AMA and anti-centromere antibodies were independently associated with PBC in SSc patients, while anti-sp100 and anti-gp210 were not.
CONCLUSIONS: This study has demonstrated even higher prevalence of both PBC-associated autoantibodies and PBC in the Japanese SSc population than in the Caucasian SSc population. AMA and anti-centromere antibodies are likely to indicate increasing risk of PBC in SSc patients.
