Article Abstract

Anti-gp210 is the disease-specific anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Anti-gp210-positive PBC patients have worse responses to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) as compared with anti-gp210-negative patients. Moreover, anti-gp210-positive patients always present with more severe histopathologic features including lobular inflammation, interfacial hepatitis, and bile duct injury, and have a worse prognosis than their anti-gp210-negative counterparts. Previous studies have identified two antigenic epitopes recognized by anti-gp210. Although the pathogenetic mechanism of anti-gp210 production remains unclear, evidence suggests that the autoimmune response to anti-gp210 production might be due to molecular mimicry induced by bacteria or endogenous peptides. T cells and related cytokines play a critical role in the pathogenesis of PBC, however, the mechanism hasn't been fully understood. Thus, this review focuses on the clinicopathological characteristics of anti-gp210-positive PBC patients, the fundamental research of gp210 antigen, and the possible mechanism of anti-gp210 production to clarify the mechanism of anti-gp210-positive PBC and provide potential molecular targets for disease prevention and treatment in the future.

Objectives: Antibodies to gp210 and sp100 are specific and unique anti-nuclear autoantibodies (ANAs) associated with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Importantly the presence of anti-gp210 and anti-sp100 responses is indicative of poor clinical outcomes. However, the utility of measuring titers of these antibodies remains unclear.

Background And Aims: The pathogenesis of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is associated with alterations of gut microbiota. We compared the gut microbiota of PBC patients and healthy controls from Zhejiang Province and assessed the use of these data for the diagnosis of PBC.

Methods: First, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to characterize the gut microbiota of treatment-naive PBC patients (n=25) and matched healthy controls (n=25).

Background: A variety of autoantibodies have been detected in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), while the presence of autoantibody clusters and their clinical significance have not been fully understood. We aimed at defining autoantibody clusters and to better understand the clinical features and prognosis of PBC patients based on autoantibody clusters under real-world conditions.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 788 inpatients with PBC evaluated between October 2008 and July 2019, and included 537 patients.

Background: Whether the anti-gp210 antibody can be used as a biomarker in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) remains controversial.

Aims: We aimed to investigate the association between anti-gp210 antibodies and prognosis in ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)-treated PBC patients.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 180 UDCA-treated PBC patients to assess the prognostic value of anti-gp210 antibodies using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis.
