MicroRNA in autoimmunity and autoimmune diseases

Journal of Autoimmunity, 2009
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small conserved non-coding RNA molecules that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by targeting the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of specific messenger RNAs (mRNAs) for degradation or translational repression.

Autoimmune Disease Genetics [PDF]

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2012
Genetic risk factors play an important role in autoimmune disease susceptibility. Recent advances genotyping techniques, statistical methods, and the organization of large patient cohorts have facilitated explosive progress in this field, and our understanding of the genetic architecture of human autoimmunity is rapidly expanding.

The Role of Calcium–Calcineurin–NFAT Signaling Pathway in Health and Autoimmune Diseases

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Calcium (Ca2+) is an essential signaling molecule that controls a wide range of biological functions. In the immune system, calcium signals play a central role in a variety of cellular functions such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and ...

A case report of esophageal cancer in a patient with pemphigus vulgaris: A coincidence or something beyond that?

Cancer Reports, 2023
Background Pemphigus is a group of rare but serious autoimmune blistering disorders, affecting skin and mucus membrane. Different reports have been published in respect to the coexistence of pemphigus with neoplasms, especially lympho‐proliferative ones.

Infectious diseases and autoimmunity

The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2011
Introduction: Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system recognizes and attacks host tissue. In addition to genetic factors, environmental triggers (in particular viruses, bacteria and other infectious pathogens) are thought to play a major role in the development of autoimmune diseases.

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.

Eosinophils in Autoimmune Diseases [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Eosinophils are multifunctional granulocytes that contribute to initiation and modulation of inflammation. Their role in asthma and parasitic infections has long been recognized. Growing evidence now reveals a role for eosinophils in autoimmune diseases.

Sarcoidosis as an Autoimmune Disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Despite the large number of performed studies, the etiology and pathogenesis of sarcoidosis still remain unknown. Most researchers allude to the possible autoimmune or immune-mediated genesis of the disease. This review attempts an integral analysis of currently available information suggesting an autoimmune genesis of sarcoidosis and is divided into ...
