Elevated levels of anti-Golgi antibodies : An early sign of seronegative rheumatoid arthritis

© 2024 The Scandinavian Foundation for Immunology..

Anti-Golgi antibodies are uncommon antibodies that exhibit specific, polarized cytoplasmic staining on the Hep-2 substrate. The objective of our study was to identify the clinical and laboratory features associated with anti-Golgi antibodies. We examined 4.5 years of data from a Turkish tertiary hospital in this retrospective cohort analysis. The indirect immunofluorescence staining patterns, antinuclear antibody (ANA) titres and clinical data of all patients were obtained from the hospital record system. A total of 146,055 ANAs were detected, of which 224 patients (0.15%) exhibited anti-Golgi antibody staining. In total, 39.4% of diagnosed patients had autoimmune diseases (AIDs). Of the AIDs, 26 (46.4%) were rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This is a very high rate and another remarkable point is that 17 (65.3%) of these patients had seronegative RA. High-titre results (1 ≥ 1/320) were more common in patients with AID. Anti-Ro52 was prevalent in 50% of extractable nuclear antigen (ENA)-positive patients, making it a remarkable finding. The majority of individuals with high-titre anti-Golgi antibodies had AID, particularly RA. The majority of these patients also tested negative for anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) and rheumatoid factor (RF). Finally, high-titre anti-Golgi antibodies may be an important serologic marker for seronegative RA in the Turkish population.
