ResumoObjetivoAvaliar a relação entre os dois tipos de modificações pós‐translacionais de proteínas na AR: glicosilação no caso da transferrina deficiente em carboidrato (TDC) e citrulinação por meio dos anticorpos no caso do antipeptídeo citrulinado cíclico (anti‐CCP).MétodosO estudo foi feito em 50 pacientes com AR. A TDC foi medida com o teste imunonefelométrico N Latex CDT e os resultados foram apresentados em unidades absolutas e relativas. O anti‐CCP foi mensurado com o método quimioluminescente e o fator reumatoide (FR) pelo método imunoturbidimétrico.ResultadosDos pacientes com AR, 80% foram positivos para anti‐CCP, 70% para FR e 62% para ambos (anti‐CCP e FR). A percentagem de transferrina total (%TDC) esteve significativamente elevada, mas o nível absoluto de TDC não esteve alterado. A concentração média de TDC absoluta foi maior nos pacientes anti‐CCP positivos do que naqueles anti‐CCP negativos. A TDC (concentração absoluta e relativa) não se correlacionou com o anti‐CCP e o FR. No entanto, o FR sérico se correlacionou significativamente com o anti‐CCP. O percentual de TDC não se correlacionou com o anti‐CCP, mas seu nível absoluto se correlacionou com o anti‐CCP apenas em pacientes FR negativos e anti‐CCP negativos. A TDC não se correlacionou com o FR, somente com o anti‐CCP em pacientes anti‐CCP negativos. O anti‐CCP se correlacionou com o DAS 28 apenas nos pacientes com AR anti‐CCP negativos, mas a TDC (unidades absolutas e relativas) se correlacionou com o DAS 28 quando considerados todos os pacientes com AR e em pacientes com AR anti‐CCP positivos.ConclusõesEsses resultados sugerem que as alterações na TDC e as concentrações de anti‐CCP não estão associadas e indicam a independência dessas modificações pós‐translacionais na artrite reumatoide. Apenas as alterações na glicosilação da transferrina refletem a atividade da AR.AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the two types of posttranslational modifications of proteins in RA: glycosylation on the example of carbohydrate‐deficient transferrin (CDT) and citrullination by means of autoantibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptides (anti‐CCP).MethodsThe study was carried out in 50 RA patients. CDT was measured using N Latex CDT immunonephelometric test, the results were presented in absolute and relative units. Anti‐CCP were measured using the chemiluminescent method and rheumatoid factor (RF) by immunoturbidimetric method.Results80% of RA patients were positive for anti‐CCP, 70% for RF and 62% for both, anti‐CCP and RF. The level of %CDT was significantly elevated, but absolute CDT level was not changed. The mean absolute CDT concentration was higher in anti‐CCP positive patients than that in anti‐CCP negative. CDT (absolute and relative concentration) did not correlate with anti‐CCP and RF. However, serum RF significantly correlated with anti‐CCP. %CDT did not correlate with anti‐CCP, but absolute level correlated with anti‐CCP only in anti‐CCP negative and RF negative patients. CDT did not correlate with RF, but solely with anti‐CCP in anti‐CCP negative patients. Anti‐CCP correlated with DAS 28 only in anti‐CCP negative RA, but CDT (absolute and relative units) correlated with DAS 28 in all patients and in anti‐CCP positive RA.ConclusionsThese results suggest that the changes in CDT and anti‐CCP concentrations are not associated with oneself and indicate on the independence of these posttranslational modifications in rheumatoid arthritis. Only the alterations in transferrin glycosylation reflected the activity of RA.
