Mitochondrial adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) is a specific target for the autoantibody response in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM). We have undertaken an epitope analysis of ANT in IDCM by immunoblot with recombinant GST-ANT fusion proteins and with cellulose-bound decapeptides of human ANT1. Forty-five patients with IDCM, 17 patients with ischemic left ventricle dysfunction (LVD) and 20 controls were analyzed for circulating antibodies against ANT (AAb-ANT). Sixteen of the 45 (36%) IDCM patients showed AAb-ANT above controls. In immunoblots, AAb-ANT detected purified bovine heart ANT and GST-ANT1 and GST-ANT2 isoforms and, less frequently, the GST-ANT3 isoform. A construct lacking the last 146 amino acids did not react with AAb-ANT, indicating that the main epitopes are in the C-terminal 146 amino acids. Immunodetection of decapeptides covering this region shows that AAb-ANT detects at least three epitopes, demonstrating that ANT is the primary target of AAb-ANT. The most significant epitopes belong to the M2 and M3 hydrophilic loops of ANT suggesting that apart from being essential for its activity, these loops are highly immunogenic.
