Younger patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome are more likely to have salivary IgG anti-muscarinic acetylcholine receptor type 3 antibodies

Abstract: Acetylcholine type 3 receptor (M3R) is recognized as an autoantigen in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Assay of anti-M3R antibody levels in serum is fraught with low sensitivity for diagnosis of pSS. Salivary assay is more likely to improve the diagnostic accuracy. Patients with pSS classified either by the American European Consensus Group (AECG) or American college of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria, attending rheumatology clinic between October 2014 and July 2015 were included. Hospital staff and lupus patien… Show more

“…Despite this, we observed a relatively high prevalence of antibodies binding to MR5 in the Ro + SS group, and patients with this reactivity displayed more severe SS by multiple measures. Both of these features, namely association with anti-Ro reactivity and more severe disease, have been reported for patients with SS having serum antibody reactivity to MR3 35–39. We noted that the vast majority of patients with MR5-binding antibodies also produced serum autoantibodies to both Ro52 and Ro60, and this patient group has been shown to have increased prevalence of abnormal ocular surface staining, positive focus scores, ANAs ≥1:320, positive La antibodies, rheumatoid factor and elevated IgG 25.…”

“…20 To date, anti-acetylcholine type 3 receptor (M3R) antibodies have been shown to be more common in younger patients and patients with hyperglobulinemia. 21 According to the previous research, patients with the early-onset phenotype of pSS have a higher incidence of lymphadenopathy, RF and anti-SSA antibodies. 8,22 Although Tishler et al reported more frequent organ involvement in the form of parotid gland enlargement, joint involvement and central nervous system involvement in patients with early-onset pSS, these results were not statistically significant.…”

“…Muscarinic type 3 receptor (M3R) is highly expressed in exocrine glands and regulates the secretion of salivary acinar cells (Sumida T, Iizuka M, Asashima H, et al, 2012). Jayakanthan found that saliva anti-M3R IgG antibodies have high specificity for the detection of SS and are more easily detectable in younger patients and hyperglobulinemia (Jayakanthan K, Ramya J, Mandal S K, et al, 2016). The results of Mona showed that saliva anti-M3R levels in SS patients were 3.59 times higher than in healthy people (Mona M, Mondello S, Hyon J Y, et al, 2021).…”
