Effects of cigarette smoking and human T-cell leukaemia virus type 1 infection on anti-citrullinated peptide antibody production in Japanese community-dwelling adults: the Nagasaki Islands Study

S-y Kawashiri et al.

Summary: The study revealed a significant association between cigarette-smoking status and ACPA production in a general population, while HTLV-1 positivity showed no correlation with ACPA production.

A Comprehensive Evaluation of the Relationship Between Different IgG and IgA Anti-Modified Protein Autoantibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Caroline Gronwall et al.

Summary: The study identified different autoantibody reactivities in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, including various modified protein autoantibodies. Reactivities to carbamylated and acetylated proteins were primarily seen in patients positive for citrullinated protein reactivity, while anti-acetylated histone reactivity was specific to RA. Anti-malondialdehyde acetaldehyde antibodies were associated with disease activity and were not significantly increased in individuals at risk of RA.

Cross-reactivity of IgM anti-modified protein antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis despite limited mutational load

Sanne Reijm et al.

Summary: The study reveals that AMPA-IgM displays cross-reactivity towards different PTMs, indicating that PTM (cross-)reactivity is not confined to IgG and does not necessarily depend on extensive somatic hypermutation. Additionally, AMPA-IgM is more potent in complement activation compared to AMPA-IgG.
