Abstract
OBJECTIVES Estimate the global prevalence of anti-Ro52-kDa/SSA (TRIM21) autoantibodies in systemic sclerosis (SSc), and describe the associated clinical phenotype, through a systematic review and meta-analysis of published reports and new data from our French cohort. METHODS Anti-TRIM21 seropositivity and associated SSc characteristics were assessed in a cross-sectional study including 300 patients of Lille University Hospital. A systematic review of the literature was performed in Pubmed and Embase, followed by a meta-analysis, using data on prevalence, clinical/demographical/biological characteristics of SSc patients and the type of assay used for anti-TRIM21 antibodies detection (PROSPERO n° CRD42021223719). FINDINGS In the cross-sectional study, anti-TRIM21 antibodies prevalence was 26% [95%CI: 21; 31]. Anti-centromere antibodies were the most frequent SSc specific autoantibodies coexisting with anti-TRIM21. Patients with anti-TRIM21 antibodies were more frequently women (91% vs 77%, p = 0.006), more likely to present an associated Sjögren's syndrome (19% vs 7%, p < 0.001), had a higher rate of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) (15% vs 6%, p = 0.017) and a greater frequency of digestive complications such as dysphagia (12% vs 5%, p = 0.038) or nausea/vomiting (10% vs 3%, p = 0.009) than anti-TRIM21 negative patients. Thirty-five articles corresponding to a total of 11,751 SSc patients were included in the meta-analysis. In this population, the overall seroprevalence of anti-TRIM21 antibodies was 23% [95%CI: 21; 27] with a high degree of heterogeneity (I2: 93% Phet: <0.0001), partly explained by the methods of detection. Anti-TRIM21 seropositivity was positively associated with female sex (OR: 1.60 [95%CI: 1.25, 2.06]), limited cutaneous subset (OR: 1.29 [1.04, 1.61]), joint manifestations (OR: 1.33 [1.05, 1.68]), pulmonary hypertension (PH) (OR: 1.82 [1.42, 2.33]), and interstitial lung disease (ILD) (OR: 1.31 [1.07, 1.60]). INTERPRETATION Anti-TRIM21 antibodies frequently co-exist with usual SSc antibodies, but are independently associated to a higher risk of cardio-pulmonary complications. The presence of these autoantibodies should therefore be considered when assessing the risk of developing PH and ILD, and deserves further studies on appropriate screening and follow-up of patients.

Rheumatol Adv Pract 2022; 6:rkac048. [PMID: 35769143 PMCID: PMC9233417 DOI: 10.1093/rap/rkac048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of clinical and subclinical atherosclerosis in Vietnamese patients with SSc and the risk factors for subclinical atherosclerosis. Methods A case–control study of 46 patients with SSc who met the ACR criteria for the disease and 42 healthy age- and sex-matched controls of Kinh ethnicity was conducted. Clinical data including cardiovascular disease (CVD) events were collected. Serum levels of blood lipids and high-sensitivity CRP were determined. Carotid artery intima–media thickness (IMT) and carotid plaques were measured by carotid Doppler ultrasonography. Results Patients with SSc, of whom 96% had dcSSc, reported a higher number of CVD events compared with the controls (21.7 vs 0%; P = 0.0065). They exhibited low serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high levels of total cholesterol compared with controls (P = 0.01 and P = 0.03, respectively). Common carotid artery IMT was significantly higher in SSc patients compared with controls [mean (s.d.): 0.61 (0.12) vs 0.47 (0.07) mm; P < 0.0001]. Carotid artery IMT in SSc showed significant positive correlations with age, disease duration, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P < 0.05). Thirteen patients with SSc (28.3%) but no controls had carotid atherosclerotic plaques. Patients with plaque had a higher mean modified Rodnan skin score and higher mean IMT compared with patients without plaque. Conclusion We confirmed an increased risk of CVD events and signs of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with SSc of Kinh ethnicity and both traditional and disease-related risk factors for CVD.
