Objective The objective of this study was to analyse autoantibodies’ titres modulation during belimumab treatment in 50 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Sera were collected at belimumab start (T0) and every six months until the 24th month. Disease activity index (SLEDAI-2K) was analysed at every timepoint. High avidity anti-dsDNA was detected by radioimmunological method, anti-ENA, anti-cardiolipin antibodies (aCL), anti-β2 glycoprotein I (anti-β2GPI) were analysed by ELISA. Results Fifty patients with SLE (mean SLEDAI-2K: 7.18 ± :3), mean age of 39 ± 11 years and mean follow-up of 13 ± 7.8 years were enrolled. A significant decrease of anti-dsDNA and anti-β2GPI IgM titres was observed at all timepoints. IgG aCL titre showed significant decrease only at T18. Anti-dsDNA negativization was detected in 21%, anti-β2GPI IgG in 33% and aCL IgG in 30% of sera, mostly at T6. Anti-ribosomal showed a significant titre decrease at T6 and T12, with negative seroconversion at T18. Anti-Sm titre significantly dropped down at T6, then remained stable during the time. Significant correlations were found between anti-dsDNA and anti-ribosomal titre and between SLEDAI ratio (SLEDAI value/SLEDAI T0) and anti-ribosomal titre ratio (value/value T0). Conclusions Belimumab treatment induced a significant reduction of SLE-specific autoantibodies titre and IgM anti-β2GPI. Anti-ribosomal titre decrease correlates with anti-dsDNA titre and disease activity improvement.
