Table 2. Potentially relevant autoantibodies in neuropsychiatric SLE.
Autoantibody | Induction | Clinical finding |
Anti-GAPDH Ab [26] | Induce neurite interaction and impairment of neuronal plasticity by blocking and binding of synaptic molecules. | Antibody level increases in SLE and NPSLE and is associated with generalized disease activity, cognitive dysfunction, and psychiatric manifestations. |
Anti-SBSN Ab [27] | Astrocytes exposed to antibodies have altered senescence and autophagy pathways. | It can be a helpful marker to differential NPSLE from SLE in the absence of NP symptoms because anti-SBSN antibody and the associated immune complex were only detected in the CSF of NPSLE. |
Anti-UCH-L1 Ab [28] | Detected in the CSF of NPSLE patients and has been prosed as a potential biomarker of NPSLE. | NPSLE patients had significantly increased levels of CSF anti-UCH-L1. In addition, this marker was associated with enhanced disease severity and generalized disease activity. |
Anti-BC RNA [29] | Responsible for diminished delivery of BC RNA to synaptodendritic sites in the brain. | Lack of BC RNA in CNS causes phenotypic abnormalities and cognitive decline. |
