Problems solved by technology

[0019] However, previous studies did not suggest that tenascin-C might be citrullinated, nor did it suggest that such citrullinated substances might regulate the pro-inflammatory activity of tenascin-C, or that citrullinated tenascin-C autoantigen

Embodiment 2

[0209] Synthesis of embodiment 2 recombinant protein

[0210] Proteins corresponding to each domain of tenascin-C (TA, EGF-L, various TNIII repeat regions and FBG) were synthesized and purified. Synthetic recombinant proteins such as Figure 9 shown.

[0211] Reagent

Embodiment 3

[0238] Embodiment 3 animal model

[0239] Zymosan-induced arthritis

[0240] Zymosan-induced arthritis (ZIA) was induced by injection of zymosan (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in tenascin-C deficient and wild-type mice as described in Keystone (1977). Zymosan was prepared by dissolving 15 mg of zymosan in 1 ml of sterile PBS. The solution was boiled twice and sonicated. Mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 150 μl of Hypnorm diluted 1:10 in sterile water followed by injection of zymosan (10 μl) into the right footpad (d=0).

[0241] Control mice were injected with only 10 μl of PBS or not. For macroscopic evaluation of arthritis, the thickness of each hind paw was measured daily using micrometer calipers (Kroeplin, Schluchlem, Germany), and the diameter was expressed as the average value of each inflamed hind paw per mouse.

[0242] After the experiment was completed (day=4), the mice were sacrificed and the hind paws were fixed with 10% (v / v) formalin, decalc...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of determining the inflammatory disorder status of a subject comprising detecting the presence or absence, or the level, of (i) citrullinated tenascin-C and / or one or more fragments of citrullinated tenascin-C; and / or (ii) autoantibodies with specificity for citrullinated tenascin-C and / or one or more fragments of citrullinated tenascin-C, in a sample from said subject.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to citrulline metastasin-C and its activity in chronic inflammation. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of citrulline tenascin-C and / or autoantibodies specific for citrulline tenascin-C as biomarkers for inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Background technique [0002] Inflammation is a complex biological response of tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, tissue damage, or irritants. It is a protective attempt by the tissue to remove damaging stimuli and initiate the healing process of the tissue. Abnormalities associated with inflammation comprise a large group of unrelated disorders that underlie a variety of human diseases (inflammatory diseases). Examples of diseases involving inflammation include, but are not limited to: asthma, autoimmune disease, glomerulonephritis, allergy (hypersensitivity), inflammatory bowel disease, reperfusion injury, rheumatoid arthritis, and t...
