摘要

Background

Paraneoplastic autoimmunity develops as consequences of immune reactions to cancer and exhibits a wide range of clinical manifestations. The autoimmune signs are often visible before the underlying malignancy is diagnosed, and a prompt diagnosis of paraneoplasia is crucial to enable early tumor detection. We characterized the immune responses underlying the severe mucocutaneous blistering disease paraneoplastic pemphigus.

Methods

We used a two-step approach to proteome-wide autoantibody repertoire analysis and independent validation in patients with paraneoplastic pemphigus (n = 84) and non-paraneoplastic autoimmune blistering diseases (n = 103).

Results

Our findings reveal that paraneoplastic pemphigus features a broad repertoire of disease-specific autoantibodies that mainly target tissue-specific proteins in the skin and mucous membranes. Importantly, we identify SERPINB3 as a major autoantibody target with an expression pattern and clinical association suggesting a role in bronchiolitis obliterans. Autoantibody profiles are similar across neoplasias, except in thymoma patients, who additionally express multiple cytokine autoantibodies.

Conclusions

Our findings reveal a disease-defining autoantibody repertoire in paraneoplastic pemphigus that corresponds with clinical manifestations and holds high potential for early cancer detection in patients with blistering disease.
