[PMID: 36291537 PMCID: PMC9599205 DOI: 10.3390/biom12101328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective. To evaluate the association between anti-phosphatidylethanolamine (aPE) and anti-phosphatidylserine (aPS) antibodies and cardiovascular risk, organ involvement and disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Methods. We studied 93 SLE patients and 30 controls. We analyzed levels of anti-phospholipid antibodies, including aPS and aPE, the profiles of antinuclear, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic (ANCA) and anti-endothelial antibodies, carotid intima-media thickness (cITM) and atherosclerotic plaque presence, ankle-brachial and high resistance indices, atherosclerotic risk factors, organ manifestations and treatment. Results. Levels of aPS and aPE were significantly higher in SLE patients in comparison with the controls (p = 0.038 and p = 0.044, respectively). aPS was associated with the risk of Raynaud’s phenomenon (p = 0.021) development. aPE increased the risk of renal involvement (p = 0.049), cerebral stroke (p = 0.050), high vlues of cIMT (p = 0.041) development as well as occurrence of selected serological markers associated with activity of the disease such as anti-double stranded DNA (p = 0.021). The long duration of regular smoking (p = 0.021) and the high number of cigarettes/day (p = 0.015) were significantly associated with the risk of aPE occurrence. Conclusions. Patients with aPS and aPE are at risk of vascular involvement. Especially the presence of aPE may significantly increase the risk of thrombotic complications development in SLE patients without classical serological markers of APS. Finally, aPE might be used as a marker of disease activity and risk of renal injury development in this patient group. The classical atherosclerotic markers including lipid indices play an important role in complex analysis of cardiovascular risk in lupus patients and enable to identify patients at the highest risk and implement effective preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

Abstract
PURPOSE Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a clinico-biological syndrome, which associates vascular injury and persisting antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Patients with clinical symptoms of APS but without aPL are defined as "seronegative APS" (SNAPS). The aim of this study was to evaluate antiphosphatidylethanolamine antibody (aPE) investigation in patients with SNAPS suspicion. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted in patients with SNAPS suspicion. A homemade enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to search for aPE. The results of this homemade method were compared with those from a global screening ELISA. RESULTS Two hundred twenty-eight patients with SNAPS suspicion were included. Among them, 58.3% had a thrombotic event. The homemade ELISA found positive persisting aPE in 23 patients (10%): 15 with a thrombotic event, 6 with obstetrical morbidity and 2 with a combined event. The global screening ELISA was positive in only 11 of these 23 patients (47.8%). CONCLUSION These results suggest the implication of aPE in SNAPS.

Abstract
The objective of our study was to evaluate the significance of extended antiphospholipid profile in patients with venous thromboembolism without any systemic autoimmune disease. In 140 patients (age 18-69 years; 47.1% men) with venous thromboembolism and 136 control participants we tested anticardiolipin antibodies, anti-beta 2 glycoprotein I (anti-β2-GPI) and also non-criteria antiphospholipid antibodies: antiphosphatidic acid, antiphosphatidylethanolamine, antiphosphatidylglycerol, antiphosphatidylinositol, antiphosphatidylserine. Commercial and in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used. The antibodies with significantly higher prevalence in patients (compared to controls) were: immunoglobulin (Ig) M-anticardiolipin antibodies (12.9%; P = 0.035), IgG-anti-β2-GPI (16.4%; P = 0.0032), IgM-antiphosphatidylethanolamine (14.3%; P = 0.014). In most cases, these three antibodies did not overlap. In conclusion, of non-criteria antiphospholipid antibodies, only antiphosphatidylethanolamine were significantly more prevalent in patients with venous thromboembolism, with only minor overlapping with the criteria antiphospholipid antibodies. Our results suggest the possible utility of searching for antiphosphatidylethanolamine in the clinical suspicion of antiphospholipid syndrome and the absence of criteria antiphospholipid antibodies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The antiphospholipid syndrome is a bioclinical entity defined by the occurrence of thromboses, and/or obstetrical complications in the persistent presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, i.e. lupus anticoagulant and/or anticardiolipin antibodies. This review focuses on the methods for antiphospholipid antibodies detection and their clinical usefulness. CURRENT KNOWLEDGE AND KEY POINTS Lupus anticoagulant is the strongest risk factor for thrombosis in antiphospholipid syndrome. Twenty years after its description, anticardiolipin ELISA, despite a still improvable standardization and its lack of specificity, is still required for sensitive diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome. FUTURE PROSPECTS AND PROJECTS A better knowledge of the beta-2-glycoprotein-I role in the pathophysiology of antiphospholipid syndrome might lead to the development of new markers of thrombotic risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At the beginning the antiphospholipid antibodies syndrome was associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. But since 1988 it has become a sole entity. Its current definition is based on the criteria established in 1999 by Sapporo and consists of associating the clinical criteria of thrombosis of arteries or peripheral veins and of miscarriage of pregnancy with the biological criteria. Either anti-cardiolipin antibodies or lupus anticoagulant must be present. Anti-phosphatidylethanolamine antibodies are not included in the Sapporo criteria. CASE REPORT A non smoking, 43 year-old man showed a clinical manifestation of livedo on the thighs, and left knee and foot, associated with a rapidly extending cutaneous necrosis on the left toes. One year earlier his right leg was amputated up to half of the calf following distal gangrene. The gangrene was consecutive to a stent implantation after a significant stenosis of the right superficial femoral artery. The etiological investigations revealed neither thrombophily nor cholesterol embolism nor vasculitis. No sign of underlying neoplasia could be found. These clinical symptoms as well as the anamnesis were strongly suggestive of an antiphospholipid antibodies syndrome. The immunological dosages revealed isolated positive anti-phosphatidylethanolamine antibodies, persistent six weeks later. DISCUSSION Several cases of clinical manifestations of the antiphospholipid antibodies syndrome have been described, without any anti-cardiolipin antibodies or lupus anticoagulant, but with presence of anti-phosphatidylethanolamine antibodies. In cases of these strong evocative symptoms but no evidence of the classical biological Sapporo criteria, these antibodies should be systematically searched for.

Abstract
Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) are immunoglobulins of IgG, IgM and IgA isotypes that target phospholipid (PL) and/or PL-binding plasma proteins. Detection of aPL in the laboratory is done currently by both immunoassays and functional coagulation tests. Convention defines aPL specificity in immunoassays according to the particular PL substrate present, for example aPS represents antiphosphatidylserine antibodies. This may be technically incorrect inasmuch as a particular PL may be responsible for binding and highly concentrating a specific plasma protein, the latter then becomes the target for the aPL. The binding of beta(2)GP-I (apolipoprotein H) to the negatively charged PL, cardiolipin (CL) provides a good example of this circumstance. In contrast, aPL which specifically prolong coagulation times in in vitro are called lupus anticoagulants (LA). The precise PL target(s) of the aPL responsible for LA activities are unknown and often debated. The persistent finding of aPL in patients in association with abnormal blood clotting and a myriad of neurological, obstetrical and rheumatic disorders often compounded by autoimmune diseases has led to an established clinical diagnosis termed antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). The common denominator for these APS patients is the presence of circulating aPL on two or more occasions and the observation of events attributable to abnormal or accelerated blood clotting somewhere in vivo. The purpose of this review is to collect, collate, and consolidate information concerning aPL.
