Hypothesizing a pathophysiological role of anti-topoisomerase I antibodies (anti-topo I) through autoantibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and cytotoxic effectors expressing receptors for the Fc portion of IgG in systemic sclerosis (SSc), 267 SSc patients (56 with anti-topo I and 102 with anti-centromere antibodies (ACA)) were genotyped for the functional FCGR3A-V158F polymorphism. A descriptive analysis of patients according to their clinical and immunological status and FCGR3A-158 V/F genotypes was performed using multiple correspondence analysis. This descriptive analysis revealed an association between the FCGR3A-158 VV genotype and the presence of anti-topo I. By contrast, no relationship was found between FCGR3A polymorphism and the presence of ACA. SSc patients with anti-topo I appear to be more frequently homozygous for the high-affinity FcγRIIIA-coding allele, suggesting that some autoantibodies may be pathogenic through ADCC.

D004264 DNA Topoisomerases, Type I DNA TOPOISOMERASES that catalyze ATP-independent breakage of one of the two strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strand through the break, and rejoining of the broken strand. DNA Topoisomerases, Type I enzymes reduce the topological stress in the DNA structure by relaxing the superhelical turns and knotted rings in the DNA helix.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D000368 Aged A person 65 years of age or older. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available. Elderly
D000920 Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity The phenomenon of antibody-mediated target cell destruction by non-sensitized effector cells. The identity of the target cell varies, but it must possess surface IMMUNOGLOBULIN G whose Fc portion is intact. The effector cell is a "killer" cell possessing Fc receptors. It may be a lymphocyte lacking conventional B- or T-cell markers, or a monocyte, macrophage, or polynuclear leukocyte, depending on the identity of the target cell. The reaction is complement-independent.
