Los Anticuerpos Anti-Ro52/trim21 Están Asociados a Circuitos Inflamatorios Aberrantes En Pacientes Con Enfermedades Reumáticas Autoinmunes Sistémicas

Introduction: Anti-Ro52/TRIM21 antibodies are markers for several systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARD). Objective: To assess whether anti-Ro52/TRIM21 antibodies are related to abnormalities in inflammatory circuits. Methods: Cross-sectional study of consecutive outpatients with SARD. Anti-Ro52/TRIM21 antibodies and serum amyloid A protein were measured by ELISA; panels for 18 cytokines and nine chemokines were analyzed on a Luminex reading platform, while high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and complement were measured by nephelometry. Results: Among 167
