Summary |
Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by severe muscle weakness. However, the seronegative MG patient subgroup, which accounts for about 15% of MG patients, remains challenging diagnosis, and the immunopathology is understudied. Therefore, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis by peripheral blood and plasma proteome analysis for the seronegative MG patients. Numerical abnormalities were observed in multiple immune cells including B-cells compared to healthy controls (HC) and correlated with disease activities. Additionally, plasma protein of CD22 that was reported to be expressed in the lineage of B-cell maturation, such as mature B-cells and memory B-cells was decreased compared to HC, and had correlation with disease severity, B-cells frequency, and the RNA expression level. These results suggest that the seronegative MG patients have immune disorders centered on B-cells. This is the first large-scale and innovative study to elucidate the immunopathology of the seronegative MG patients.
