An Animal Model Using Metallic Ions to Produce Autoimmune Nephritis
Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Autoimmune nephritis triggered by metallic ions was assessed in a Long‐Evans rat model. The parameters evaluated included antinuclear autoantibody production, kidney damage mediated by immune complexes detected by immunofluorescence, and renal function tested by retention of nitrogen waste products and proteinuria.

Soluble Fas and the −670 Polymorphism of Fas in Lupus Nephritis
International Journal of Nephrology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 This study was performed to clarify the role of soluble Fas (sFas) in lupus nephritis (LN) and establish a potential relationship between LN and the −670 polymorphism of Fas in 67 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), including a subset of 24 LN patients with proteinuria. Additionally, a group of 54 healthy subjects (HS) was included.

Case Reports in Genetics, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an exceptionally rare genetic disease that is characterised by congenital malformations of the great toes and progressive heterotopic ossification (HO) in specific anatomical areas. This disease is caused by a mutation in activin receptor IA/activin‐like kinase‐2 (ACVR1/ALK2).

Posttranslational Protein Modification in the Salivary Glands of Sjögren’s Syndrome Patients
Autoimmune Diseases, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The present study investigated posttranslational reactions in the salivary glands of patients with Sjögren’s syndrome. We analysed the biopsies of primary Sjögren’s patients using immunohistochemistry and a tag‐purified anticyclic citrullinated protein (CCP) antibody to detect citrullinated peptides, and the presence of peptidylarginine deiminase 2 ...

Autoantibodies in Senear‐Usher Syndrome: Cross‐Reactivity or Multiple Autoimmunity?
Autoimmune Diseases, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Senear‐Usher syndrome or pemphigus erythematosus is a pathology that overlaps clinically and serologically with pemphigus foliaceus and lupus erythematosus. Skin biopsies of patients with pemphigus erythematosus reveal acantholysis and deposits of immunoglobulins in desmosomes, and they are positive in the lupus band test.

The Caspase Pathway as a Possible Therapeutic Target in Experimental Pemphigus
Autoimmune Diseases, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 Apoptosis plays a role in pemphigus IgG‐dependent acantholysis; theoretically, the blockade of the caspase pathway could prevent the blistering that is caused by pemphigus autoantibodies. Using this strategy, we attempted to block the pathogenic effect of pemphigus IgG in Balb/c mice by using the caspase inhibitor Ac‐DEVD‐CMK.
