We detected anti-triosephosphate isomerase antibodies (anti-TPI) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in 5 of 12 neuropsychiatric lupus patients (41.6%) by Western blotting. C3d index was significantly higher in anti-TPI-positive patient (n=5, median 0.446) than in anti-TPI-negative patient (n=7, median 0.098) (p=0.019) CSF samples. TPI was detected from immune complexes (IC) isolated from CSF in 2 of 2 anti-TPI-positive patients tested and was not detected from IC in 5 of 5 anti-TPI-negative patients tested. Our results suggest that anti-TPI form IC in CSF and contribute to the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric lupus by activating the complement system.

D015933 Complement C3d A 302-amino-acid fragment in the alpha chain (672-1663) of C3b. It is generated when C3b is inactivated (iC3b) and its alpha chain is cleaved by COMPLEMENT FACTOR I into C3c, and C3dg (955-1303) in the presence COMPLEMENT FACTOR H. Serum proteases further degrade C3dg into C3d (1002-1303) and C3g (955-1001).
