Abstract

利妥昔单抗是一种人鼠嵌合性单克隆抗体,通过特异性结合CD20抗原靶向杀伤B细胞,目前逐渐应用于特发性炎性肌病(idiopathic inflammatory myositis, IIM)。抗合成酶综合征(anti-synthetase syndrome, ASS)是IIM中最常见的亚型,常合并间质性肺疾病(interstitial lung disease, ILD),大部分ASS-ILD患者对糖皮质激素和(或)免疫抑制剂治疗反应好、预后佳;但有小部分患者对治疗反应差,病情持续进展,病死率高,称难治性ASS-ILD。近年来,临床实践表明利妥昔单抗可改善此类患者临床症状及预后,具有较好的安全性;本文就利妥昔单抗的作用机制及其在ASS-ILD中的应用展开综述。.
