MicroRNAs as potential architects of immune dysregulation and megakaryocytic failure in immune thrombocytopenia

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a complex autoimmune disorder characterized by accelerated destruction of peripheral platelets and impaired megakaryopoiesis. While the cellular effectors, dysregulated T cells, hyperactive B cells and phagocytic macrophages are well characterized, the upstream epigenetic mechanisms orchestrating this ...

Autoantibodies in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Target Mitochondrial RNA

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
The mitochondrion supplies energy to the cell and regulates apoptosis. Unlike other mammalian organelles, mitochondria are formed by binary fission and cannot be directly produced by the cell.

Cardiac surveillance in immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy: Insights from the Essen Cardio‐oncology Registry

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized cancer therapy, offering improvements in survival across various malignancies. However, their toxicities pose a major challenge for cardio‐oncology units. Despite their growing importance, data on effectiveness of such specialized units in mitigating ICI‐associated ...

The autoepitope of the 74-kD mitochondrial autoantigen of primary biliary cirrhosis corresponds to the functional site of dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase. [PDF]

, 1988
Autoantibodies to mitochondrial antigens are characteristic of the autoimmune liver disease primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), but the precise antigenic determinants recognized by these antibodies have not been defined.

Retinal S-antigen Th1 cell epitope mapping in patients with Behcet's disease [PDF]

Background - Retinal S-antigen (S-Ag) is a most characterized autoantigen of autoimmune uveitis. The recognized immunodominant epitope of human S-Ag in patients with uveitis has not been identified. In this study, we selected certain patients with active

Induction of peripheral tolerance in ongoing autoimmune inflammation requires interleukin 27 signaling in dendritic cells [PDF]

, 2017
Peripheral tolerance to autoantigens is induced via suppression of self-reactive lymphocytes, stimulation of tolerogenic dendritic cells (DCs) and regulatory T (Treg) cells.

Cold plasma treatment for oral lichen planus: a retrospective case collection and proposal of a new clinical score

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background and objectives Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic autoimmune mucosal disease with malignant potential and limited treatment options. This study evaluated the long‐term efficacy and safety of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) therapy in therapy‐refractory OLP and introduced the novel Lichen Planus Severity Score (LPSS).

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?

Immunology, EarlyView.
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as
