Abstract

Objective: Anti–citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) exhibit unique specificity for rheumatoid arthritis. However, it is incompletely understood whether and how ACPA contribute to disease pathogenesis. The Fc part of human IgG carries 2 N‐linked glycan moieties that are crucial for the structural stability of the antibody and that modulate both its binding affinity to Fcγ receptors and its ability to activate complement. We undertook this study to analyze Fc glycosylation of IgG1 ACPA in serum and synovial fluid (SF) in order to further characterize the immune response to citrullinated antigens. Methods: ACPA were isolated by affinity purification using cyclic citrullinated peptides as antigen. IgG1 Fc glycosylation was analyzed by mass spectrometry. ACPA IgG1 glycan profiles were compared with glycan profiles of total serum IgG1 obtained from 85 well‐characterized patients. Glycan profiles of paired SF and serum samples were available from 11 additional patients. Results: Compared with the pool of serum IgG1, ACPA IgG1 lacked terminal sialic acid residues. In SF, ACPA were highly agalactosylated and lacked sialic acid residues, a feature that was not detected for total SF IgG1. Moreover, differential ACPA glycan profiles were detected in rheumatoid factor (RF)–positive and RF‐negative patients. Conclusion: ACPA IgG1 exhibit a specific Fc‐linked glycan profile that is distinct from that of total serum IgG1. Moreover, Fc glycosylation of ACPA differs markedly between SF and serum. Since Fc glycosylation directly affects the recruitment of Fc‐mediated effector mechanisms, these data could further our understanding of the contribution of ACPA to disease pathogenesis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
