Article Abstract
This observational study explored coexisting organ-specific and non-organ-specific autoantibodies in Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder(NMOSD) and Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-IgG-1(MOG-IgG1) associated central nervous system demyelination(MOGAD) in a South Asian cohort from March 2017-2023. Of the 250 cases, 148 were MOGAD(82pediatric) and 102 were NMOSD(15 pediatric). 17.6 % tested positive for ≥1 antibody, with NMOSD showing a higher positivity rate (25.5 %) than MOGAD(12.2 %,p = 0.011). Double antibody positivity occurred more in NMOSD (5.9 %vs.MOGAD,1.4 %,p = 0.045). Three NMOSD cases had Sjogren syndrome with higher Anti-Ro-52 prevalence(12.7 %vs.4.1 %,p = 0.014). NMOSD patients with ≥1 antibody positivity had more constitutional symptoms (45.5 %vs.23.1 %,p = 0.045). Significant associations were found between NMOSD and female gender, having ≥1 antibody-positive status, and testing positive for Anti-Ro-52 and SS-A antibodies (p < 0.05).

The Effect of Metabolic Bariatric Surgery on Cardiovascular Risks: A Prospective Study Measuring Antibodies to Apolipoprotein A-1.

Background: Obesity is a chronic disease associated with other associated medical problems, including atherogenic dyslipidemia. Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) has been shown to reduce long-term cardiovascular risk (CVR). Anti-ApoA-1 antibodies (AAA1) are independently associated with cardiovascular disease, which remains a major cause of death in individuals with obesity.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD) is a common liver and health issue associated with heightened cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, with Cytokeratin 18 (CK-18) as a marker of liver injury across the MASLD to cirrhosis spectrum. Autoantibodies against apolipoprotein A-1 (AAA-1s) predict increased CVD risk, promoting atherosclerosis and liver steatosis in apoE-/- mice, though their impact on liver inflammation and fibrosis remains unclear. This study examined AAA-1s' impact on low-grade inflammation, liver steatosis, and fibrosis using a MASLD mouse model exposed to AAA-1s passive immunization (PI).

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common liver disease increasing cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. Autoantibodies against apolipoprotein A-1 (AAA-1) are a possible novel CVD risk factor promoting inflammation and disrupting cellular lipid homeostasis, two prominent pathogenic features of NAFLD. We explored the role of AAA-1 in NAFLD and their association with CVD risk.

Objectives: To investigate the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) infection on anti-apolipoprotein A-1 IgG (AAA1) humoral response in immunosuppressed inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) patients.
Methods: This is a nested cohort study from the prospective Swiss Clinical Quality Management registry. A total of 368 IRD patients for which serum samples were available before and after the SARS-CoV2 pandemic were included.
BMI-Associated Anti-Apolipoprotein A-1 Positivity in Healthy Adults after mRNA-Vaccination against COVID-19.
Vaccines (Basel)

Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 140 21 Prague, Czech Republic.
Elevated anti-apolipoprotein A-1 (AAA1) antibody levels associated with cardiovascular risk have been observed in previously SARS-CoV-2-infected or COVID-19-vaccinated individuals. Since patient safety is generally a priority in vaccination, we sought to investigate AAA1 antibody levels in healthy adults after mRNA vaccination. We conducted a prospective cohort study in healthy adult volunteers recruited from military workers of the Transport Air Base in Prague who had received two doses of mRNA vaccines.
