Anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (anti-ARS) antibodies are useful for identifying a clinical subset of patients with inflammatory myopathies. Since the myositis of anti-ARS-positive patients is characterized by a unique set of non-myopathic manifestations, including interstitial lung disease, mechanic's hands, and arthralgia, the patients are classified as having anti-synthetase syndrome. Autoantibodies have been identified to eight kinds of ARSs. Of the other 12 ARSs, eight are components of the “OJ” multi-synthetase complex. Autoantibodies to the four remaining ARSs (CysARS, ValARS, SerARS, and TrpARS) have not been reported to be present in patients with inflammatory myopathies.In this study, we first screened samples from more than 300 Japanese patients majorly consisting of those with dermatomyositis (DM) by our established in-house ELISA to find autoantibodies against the four ARSs described above. Since sera from two DM patients specifically reacted to CysARS or ValARS, we determined their reactivities by immunoprecipitation (IP) with the corresponding recombinant proteins and IP–Western blotting with cellular extract. One patient had several features found in anti-synthetase syndrome, but the other did not. The clinical differences among the various anti-ARS antibodies should be explored in a future work.
