Scleroderma (SSc) is characterized by a unique widespread vascular disease that can lead to severe digital ischemia, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or other organ dysfunction. Microthrombotic events and pro-coagulable factors such as anti-beta 2 glycoprotein 1 (B2GPI) or anti-cardiolipin (aCL) antibodies may be implicated in the development of these manifestations. This study investigated whether anti-B2GPI and aCL antibodies are correlated with macrovascular disease including ischemic digital loss and PAH in SSc patients. 75 SSc patients with history of ischemic digital loss and 75 matched SSc controls were evaluated. Anti-centromere (ACA), anti-B2GPI and aCL antibodies were tested and clinical associations measured using conditional and simple logistic regression models. Anti-B2GPI, but not aCL, were significantly more frequent (p=0.01) in digital loss patients, with IgA isotype showing the strongest association (OR 4.0). After adjusting for demographics, disease type, smoking and ACA, anti-B2GPI were significantly associated with active digital ischemia (OR 9.4), echocardiographic evidence for PAH (OR 4.8), and mortality (OR 2.9). ACA positivity was associated with history of digital loss (OR 3.8), but not with PAH or mortality. History of digital loss was strongly associated with increased mortality (OR 12.5). Anti-B2GPI antibodies are significantly associated with macrovascular disease in SSc and independently predict mortality. It is unclear whether they play a pathogenic role or simply reveal the presence of underlying endothelial injury. The use of anti-B2GPI antibodies as a biomarker of vascular disease in SSc should be further explored.
