Clinically, β2GPI is the primary antigen in the autoimmune condition antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), which is typically characterised by pregnancy morbidity and vascular thrombosis.
The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by thrombosis and/or pregnancy morbidity in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies including anti-beta-2-glycoprotein-I (anti-β2GPI) that are considered central to APS pathogenesis.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a systemic autoimmune disease which manifests as thrombotic and/or obstetric adverse events, mediated by persistent circulating antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) detected by means of three tests: lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin and anti β2-glycoprotein I antibodies.
We confirmed an over-representation of having any antiphospholipid antibody, OR 1.40 (95% CI 1.01 to 1.95), anti-β2 glycoprotein I, OR 1.82 (95% CI 1.02 to 3.24) and the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), OR 1.74 (95% CI 1.19 to 2.55) in all four cohorts (n=1087).
Interleukin-17/Interleukin-21 and Interferon-γ producing T cells specific for β2 Glycoprotein I in atherosclerosis inflammation of systemic lupus erythematosus patients with antiphospholipid syndrome.
Screening for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) comprises testing for lupus anticoagulants (LAs) and the presence of IgG or IgM antibodies directed against phospholipids and phospholipid-binding proteins such as β-2-glycoprotein-I.
β2-glycoprotein I/anti-β2-glycoprotein I antibody complex (β2/aβ2) could promote oxLDL-induced endothelial inflammation through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), therefore accelerates atherosclerosis in patients with anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS).
Recent advances allow us to propose antibodies targeting beta-2-glycoprotein I (β<sub>2</sub>-GPI) as the most specific antibodies associated with anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS).
We reported a neonatal lupus of a Sjogren's syndrome mother with recurrent miscarriage secondary to antiphospholipid syndrome; seronegative to anticardiolipin antibodies, lupus anticoagulant and B2GP1.
Glycosylation of B2GP1 can impact auto antibody recognition leading to the development of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), which can result in miscarriages or thrombosis.
Hydroxychloroquine partially prevents endothelial dysfunction induced by anti-beta-2-GPI antibodies in an in vivo mouse model of antiphospholipid syndrome.
Background and Purpose- International classification criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) include IgM (immunoglobulin M), aCL (anticardiolipin), and aB2GPI (anti-β2-glycoprotein-I) antibodies, but their relevance is still debated.
Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) is a condition characterized by the occurrence of thromboembolic events and/or pregnancy loss combined with one laboratory criterion among Lupus Anticoagulant- LAC, anticardiolipin -aCL, and anti β2-Glycoprotein I -aβ2GPI antibodies.
IgG and IgM antibodies directed at β2-glycoprotein I are included in the classification criteria for the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) while the IgA antibodies against β2-glycoprotein I (IgA aβ2GPI) are not.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, such as lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibodies and anti-β2-glycoprotein 1 antibodies.
In current study, the positive rate of β2-GPI-dependent ACA in CBFP subjects was 22.60%, which was significantly higher than that in syphilis patients (3.87%) (P < 0.001) and similar to that in pAPS patients (32.81%) (P = 0.119).
The primary anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by the production of antibodies that bind the phospholipid-binding protein β2 glycoprotein I (β2GPI) or that directly recognize negatively charged membrane phospholipids in a manner that may contribute to arterial or venous thrombosis.
Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by β2-glycoprotein I (β2-GPI)-targeting antiphospholipid antibodies (APAs) and vascular thrombosis or obstetrical complications.
These antibodies, albeit at concentrations exceeding those generally found in periodontitis subjects, are typically present in patients with the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), an autoimmune disease characterized by thrombosis and recurrent pregnancy loss. aCL from APS patients are proinflammatory and can activate trophoblasts, macrophages, and platelets via cell-surface interactions with their target antigen beta-2-glycoprotein-I (β2GPI).
PEGylated Domain I of Beta-2-Glycoprotein I Inhibits the Binding, Coagulopathic, and Thrombogenic Properties of IgG From Patients With the Antiphospholipid Syndrome.
In the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) recognition of β2 glycoprotein I promotes thrombosis, and preclinical studies indicate that this is due to endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) antagonism via apolipoprotein E receptor 2 (apoER2)-dependent processes.
The majority of circulating β2GPI is biochemically reduced with two free thiols in Domain V. However, increased levels of oxidised β2GPI are found in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).
