BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify disease-related autoantibodies in the serum of patients with immune-mediated neuropathies including chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with these antibodies.
METHODS: Proteins extracted from mouse brain tissue were used to react with sera from patients with CIDP by western blotting (WB) to determine the presence of common bands. Positive bands were then identified by mass spectrometry and confirmed for reactivity with patient sera using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and WB. Reactivity was further confirmed by cell-based and tissue-based indirect immunofluorescence assays. The clinical characteristics of patients with candidate autoantibody-positive CIDP were analyzed, and their association with other neurologic diseases was also investigated.
RESULTS: Screening of 78 CIDP patient sera by WB revealed a positive band around 60-70 kDa identified as dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase (DLAT) by immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry. Serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM antibodies' reactivity to recombinant DLAT was confirmed using ELISA and WB. A relatively high reactivity was observed in 29 of 160 (18%) patients with CIDP, followed by patients with sensory neuropathy (6/58, 10%) and patients with MS (2/47, 4%), but not in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (0/27), patients with hereditary neuropathy (0/40), and healthy controls (0/26). Both the cell-based and tissue-based assays confirmed reactivity in 26 of 33 patients with CIDP. Comparing the clinical characteristics of patients with CIDP with anti-DLAT antibodies (n = 29) with those of negative cases (n = 131), a higher percentage of patients had comorbid sensory ataxia (69% vs 37%), cranial nerve disorders (24% vs 9%), and malignancy (20% vs 5%). A high DLAT expression was observed in human autopsy dorsal root ganglia, confirming the reactivity of patient serum with mouse dorsal root ganglion cells.
DISCUSSION: Reactivity to DLAT was confirmed in patient sera, mainly in patients with CIDP. DLAT is highly expressed in the dorsal root ganglion cells, and anti-DLAT antibody may serve as a biomarker for sensory-dominant neuropathies.
