Assessment of antibodies to double-stranded DNA induced in rheumatoid arthritis patients following treatment with infliximab, a monoclonal antibody to tumor necrosis factor α: Findings in open-label and randomized placebo-controlled trials

Abstract: Anti-dsDNA antibodies of IgM class are induced by infliximab therapy; the frequency is dependent on the assay method used. Only 1 of the 156 patients who were treated with infliximab developed a self-limiting clinical lupus syndrome; that patient developed high titers of anti-dsDNA antibodies of IgG, IgM, and IgA class, as detected by the CLIFT and by 2 different Farr assays.

“…In rheumatoid arthritis, therapy with diverse therapeutic forms of TNF-a antagonists in all therapeutic forms is associated with relatively common and detectable autoimmune adverse events, including demyelinating disease, confirmed forms of MS, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, type 1 diabetes, a lupus-like syndrome, and cutaneous lupus rashes. Further, 11-57% of patients develop new or elevated antinuclear antibodies, usually shortly after therapy initiation or within 1 year [1,2,[11][12][13][14][15]. Approximately 7-15% of patients develop new antibodies against double-stranded DNA [13,15].…”

“…Approximately 7-15% of patients develop new antibodies against double-stranded DNA [13,15]. Case reports indicate onset of systemic lupus erythematosis or a similar syndrome at 6 weeks to 14 months after treatment initiation [14,[16][17][18][19]. Rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with anti-TNF-a therapies can also develop new onset autoimmune vasculitis [20,21].…”

“…So entwickelten in einer klinischen Studie 11% aller Patienten mit rheumatoider Arthritis unter einer Therapie mit Infliximab ANA und bis zu 15% Anti-dsDNA-Antikörper [10]. Die Bildung von Anti-dsDNA-Antikörpern war dabei jedoch lediglich bei einem von 22 Patienten mit der Manifestation eines reversiblen lupusartigen Syndroms assoziiert [10]. Unter einem lupusartigen Syndrom wird dabei die Entwicklung von Symptomen (häufig Fieber, muskuloskelettale Beschwerden und Serositis) verstanden, die auf einen systemischen Lupus hindeuten, ohne dass jedoch die diagnostischen Kriterien (s.u.)…”

“…Dies könnte dann zu einer verstärkten humoralen Autoimmunität führen [17]. Charles et al vermuteten, dass die Bindung von Infliximab an TNF-α auf den Membranen von Immunzellen zur vermehrten Zellapoptose und damit zur Freisetzung von nukleosomalen Antigenen führt, die dann die Bildung von Anti-dsDNA-Antikörpern begünstigen [10]. Möglicherweise tragen auch die unter einer Therapie mit TNF-α-blockierenden Substanzen gehäuft auftretenden bakteriellen Infektionen zur Bildung von Autoantikörpern bei.…”

“…Vereinzelt wurde aber auch über das Auftreten eines "lupus-like syndrome" unter einer Therapie mit Infliximab und Etanercept berichtet. Nach Beendigung der Therapie waren die Kollagenosesymptome rückläufig und die Autoantikörper in der Regel nicht mehr nachweisbar [44]. tosklerose, etablieren.…”
