Ribonucleoprotein complexes as autoantigens [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Immunology, 1995
Many intracellular proteins and nucleic acids, that are involved in important biosynthetic pathways, are targeted by autoantibodies occurring spontaneously in the sera of patients with systemic autoimmune diseases. Frequently, the autoantigens are assembled into multicomponent complexes containing both nucleic acid(s) and proteins.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

T‐Cell Remodeling in Renal Fibrosis: From Acute Injury to Chronic Kidney Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This Review presents renal fibrosis as a sequence of overlapping T‐cell programs, from chemokine‐guided recruitment and metabolic activation to maladaptive polarization, tertiary lymphoid structure formation, tissue residency, exhaustion, and senescence.

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...

Immunity to self co-generates regulatory T cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Immune responses to self are kept in check by tolerance mechanisms, including suppression by regulatory T cells (Tregs). The defective generation of Tregs specific for self-antigens may lead to autoimmune disease.

The transcriptional activator Sp1, a novel autoantigen

open access: yes, 1997
Objective. To identify one nuclear autoantigenic protein within a complex of DNA binding proteins that bind to GC-rich sequences in Epstein- Barr virus and cellular DNA, and to describe the clinical characteristics of patients whose sera contained ...

Interferon and autoantigens: intersection in autoimmunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2023
Interferon (IFN) is a key component of the innate immune response. For reasons that remain incompletely understood, the IFN system is upregulated in several rheumatic diseases, particularly those that feature autoantibody production, such as SLE, Sjögren’

Reframing the Gut–Brain Axis: The Gut Wall as a Neural Immune Interface in Multiple Sclerosis and Autoimmune Neurological Diseases

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Gut wall physiology in multiple sclerosis (MS) and autoimmune neurologic diseases remains underexplored but may span gut barrier dysfunction, enteric glial targeting, mucosal immune dysregulation, and autoimmune targets within the enteric nervous system (ENS).

The future of lupus therapy modulating autoantigen recognition

open access: yes, 2010
The mainstay of the current treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus consists of steroids and immunosuppressants. However, these non-specific immunosuppressive therapies can cause infection and other serious adverse events.

Omega-3 fatty acid intake suppresses induction of diverse autoantibody repertoire by crystalline silica in lupus-prone mice

open access: yesAutoimmunity, 2020
Inhalation of crystalline silica (cSiO2) in the workplace is etiologically linked to lupus and other autoimmune diseases. Exposing lupus-prone NZBWF1 mice to respirable cSiO2 unleashes a vicious cycle of inflammation and cell death in the lung that ...
