Detection of autoantibodies to osteoprotegerin in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and their association with disease activity

Hauser Barbara , Riches Philip , Gilchrist Tamara , Wilson Jim F , Fraser William D , Ralston Stuart H

Introduction: Osteoporosis and fragility fractures are recognized complications of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Previously Riches et al. described a patient with celiac disease and severe osteoporosis in whom neutralizing antibodies to osteoprotegerin (OPG) were present. The aim of this study was to determine if OPG autoantibodies were present in patients with RA and other rheumatic diseases and to relate these to clinical features.Methods: We dev...

Osteoprotegerin autoantibodies are independently associated with low hip bone mineral density and increased fracture risk in patients with ankylosing spondylitis

Osteoporosis and vertebral fractures are recognised complications of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) but the underlying causes are incompletely understood. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a decoy receptor for RANK-L and inhibits osteoclastogenesis. We have previously demonstrated that antibodies to OPG (OPG-Ab) are associated with osteoporosis and increased bone turnover in patients with autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was to determine whether OPG-Abs were detectable in AS pat...
