This study examined the predictive value of anti-CarP and anti-PAD3 antibodies in RA patients, and found that anti-PAD3 antibodies were associated with higher disease activity and joint damage scores. The presence of any two of these autoantibodies was also linked to greater radiographic progression over 10 years. However, there were no differences in RA outcome measures with regards to anti-CarP antibodies.
Objectives. The objective of this study was to analyse the predictive value of anti-carbamylated protein (anti-CarP) and anti-peptidyl-arginine deiminase type-3 (anti-PAD3) antibodies, alone or in combination with RF and ACPA, to identify patients at high risk of developing severe RA outcomes. Methods. Patients within the Swiss Clinical Quality Management registry with a biobank sample were tested for RF, ACPA, anti-CarP, and anti-PAD3 antibodies. We examined the association of each autoantibody with DAS28, HAQ and radiographic damage (Ratingen) at baseline and longitudinally. Results. Analyses included 851 established RA patients and 516 disease controls [axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA=320) and PsA (196)]. Anti-CarP and anti-PAD3 antibodies were, respectively, present in 22.4% and 10.7% of the whole RA population, and in 13.2% and 3.8% of the RF and ACPA double seronegative patients. At baseline, RA patients with anti-PAD3 had higher DAS28 (4.2 vs 3.7; P= 0.005) and significantly more radiographic damage (14.9 vs 8.8; P = 0.02) than anti-PAD3-negative patients. In the ACPA-negative subgroup, baseline Ratingen scores were significantly higher in anti-PAD3-positive patients (P = 0.01). The combination of anti-PAD3, RF IgM, and ACPA was associated with significantly higher baseline radiographic scores than the double seropositive group (P = 0.04). The presence of any two of the previous autoantibodies was associated with significantly greater radiographic progression over 10years than if all were absent (P= 0.02). There were no differences in RA outcome measures with regards to anti-CarP. Conclusions. Anti-PAD3 antibodies are associated with higher disease activity and joint damage scores in RA patients.
