| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Citrullinated alpha enolase (CEP-1) has been designated as a major antigenic target of antibodies against citrullinated proteins (ACPA) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our aim is to determine the prevalence of anti-CEP-1 in a cohort of ACPA positive (ACPA+) primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) patients. Anti-CEP1 titers were determined by ELISA in sera from 15 ACPA+ and 45 ACPA- age/sex matched pSS; 12 ACPA+ RA patients and 30 healthy controls (HC). Increased anti-CEP-1 antibody titers were detected in nine out of the 15 (60%) ACPA+ pSS patients and 5 out of 12 (41.7%) ACPA+ RA patients; no reactivities were detected in ACPA- pSS patients and HC. Anti-CEP-1 antibodies in the setting of pSS were associated with higher urine pH levels at baseline. CEP-1 is a major antigenic target of ACPA in patients with pSS characterizing a subgroup with distinct laboratory features |
