Triggers of Autoimmunity: The Role of Bacterial Infections in the Extracellular Exposure of Lupus Nuclear Autoantigens

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Infections are considered important environmental triggers of autoimmunity and can contribute to autoimmune disease onset and severity. Nucleic acids and the complexes that they form with proteins—including chromatin and ribonucleoproteins—are the main ...

Utility of serological markers in inflammatory bowel diseases: Gadget or magic? [PDF]

, 2007
The panel of serologic markers for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is rapidly expanding. Although anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) and atypical perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (P-ANCA) remain the most widely ...

Autoantibodies against retinal proteins in paraneoplastic and autoimmune retinopathy [PDF]

, 2004
BACKGROUND: Autoimmune retinal degeneration may occur in patients who present with sudden or, less commonly, subacute loss of vision of retinal origin, associated with an abnormal ERG, through the action of autoantibodies against retinal proteins.

The cytoskeletal control of B cell receptor and integrin signaling in normal B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

CD1a autoreactive T cells recognize natural skin oils that function as headless antigens [PDF]

, 2014
CD1a autoreactive T cells are common in human blood and skin, but the search for natural autoantigens has been confounded by background T cell responses to CD1 proteins and self lipids.

Advanced Nanoparticle Therapeutics for Targeting Neutrophils in Inflammatory Diseases

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in nanoparticle‐based strategies to modulate neutrophil activity in inflammatory diseases. By targeting inflammatory neutrophils, NET formation, and neutrophil apoptosis or recruitment, these approaches aim to improve therapeutic precision.

A Spectrum of Neural Autoantigens, Newly Identified by Histo-Immunoprecipitation, Mass Spectrometry, and Recombinant Cell-Based Indirect Immunofluorescence

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
BackgroundA plurality of neurological syndromes is associated with autoantibodies against neural antigens relevant for diagnosis and therapy. Identification of these antigens is crucial to understand the pathogenesis and to develop specific immunoassays.

Testosterone Influence on Gene Expression in Lacrimal Glands of Mouse Models of Sjögren Syndrome [PDF]

, 2019
Purpose: Sjögren syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that occurs almost exclusively in women and is associated with extensive inflammation in lacrimal tissue, an immune-mediated destruction and/or dysfunction of glandular epithelial cells, and a ...

TSHR‐Targeting Nucleic Acid Aptamer Treats Graves' Ophthalmopathy via Novel Allosteric Inhibition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents YC3, a novel inhibitory TSHR‐targeting aptamer, as a promising therapeutic for Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). YC3 suppresses pathological phenotypes in human orbital fibroblasts and improves outcomes in GO mice by binding to a previously unidentified allosteric site on TSHR, demonstrating the potential of aptamers in advancing ...

An Epigenetics-Based Hypothesis of Autoantigen Development in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Epigenomes, 2020
Currently, we have a limited understanding of mechanisms leading to systemic lupus erythematosus, but we know that genetics, environmental factors, and epigenetics contribute to the disease. One common aspect of the various environmental triggers is that
