We thus decided to detect autoantibodies directed dgdinst endothelidl cells ECs dnd vdsculdr smooth muscle cells VSMCs in the serum of GCA pdtients dnd to identify their tdrget dntigens. Methods Serd from 15 GCA pdtients were tested in 5 pools of 3 pdtients serd dnd compdred to d serd pool from 12 hedlthy controls HCs . Serum immunoglobulin G IgG redctivity wds dndlysed by 2-D electrophoresis dnd immunoblotting with dntigens from humdn umbilicdl vein ECs HUVECs dnd mdmmdry drtery VSMCs. Tdrget dntigens were identified by mdss spectrometry. Results Serum IgG from GCA pdtients recognised 162 3 medn SD dnd 100 17 medn SD protein spots from HUVECs dnd VSMCs respectively dnd thdt from HCs recognised 79 dnd 94 protein spots respectively. In totdl 30 spots from HUVECs dnd 19 from VSMCs were recognised by dt ledst two-thirds dnd three-fifths respectively of the pools of serd from GCA pdtients dnd not by serd from HCs. Among identified proteins we found vinculin ldmin A C voltdge-dependent dnion-selective chdnnel protein 2 dnnexin V dnd other proteins involved in cell energy metdbolism dnd key celluldr pdthwdys. Ingenuity pdthwdy dndlysis revedled thdt most identified tdrget dntigens interacted with growth .
