Identification of three new autoantibodies associated with systemic lupus erythematosus using two proteomic approaches.
, Mol Cell Proteomics, Vol: 10Our objective was to identify new serum autoantibodies associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), focusing on those found in patients with central nervous system (CNS) syndromes. Autoantigens in human brain proteins were screened by multiple proteomic analyses: two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis/Western blots followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis and immunoprecipitation followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry shotgun analysis. The presence of serum IgG autoantibodies against 11 selected recombinant antigens was assessed by Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the sera of 106 SLE patients and 100 normal healthy controls. The O.D. values in sera from SLE patients were significantly higher than those of controls for the antigens crystallin αB (p = 0.0002), esterase D (p = 0.0002), APEX nuclease 1 (p < 0.0001), ribosomal protein P0 (p < 0.0001), and PA28γ (p = 0.0005); the first three are newly reported. The anti-esterase D antibody levels were significantly higher in the CNS group than in the non-CNS group (p = 0.016). Moreover, when the SLE patients were categorized using CNS manifestations indicating neurologic or psychiatric disorders, the anti-APEX nuclease 1 antibody levels were significantly elevated in SLE patients with psychiatric disorders (p = 0.037). In conclusion, the association of SLE with several new and previously reported autoantibodies has been demonstrated. Statistically significant associations between anti-esterase D antibodies and CNS syndromes as well as between anti-APEX nuclease 1 antibodies and psychiatric disorders in SLE were also demonstrated. The combined immunoproteomic approaches used in this study are reliable and effective methods for identifying SLE autoantigens.

Genetics of complex airway disease.
, Proc Am Thorac Soc, Vol: 8, Pages: 149-153The past 3 years have seen highly significant genetic effects identified for a wide variety of common complex diseases, including the airway disorders of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It appears that only a portion of the genetically mediated susceptibility to complex diseases has been identified, and there is much left to be discovered. This review briefly describes the results of the genome-wide association studies of asthma and gives an overview of the parallel and increasingly large-scale studies that are taking place with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The future impact is discussed of technological advances that allow increasingly large-scale gene expression studies, next-generation sequencing, and genome-wide testing for epigenetic effects. The use of genetic technology to examine the airway microbiota that interact with the mucosa in health and disease is described.
