Autophagy generates citrullinated peptides in human synoviocytes: a possible trigger for anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
OBJECTIVES: Autophagy may represent a functional processing event that creates a substrate for autoreactivity. In particular, autophagy may play a role in the pathogenesis of RA, since autophagy is a key cellular event involved in the generation of ...

Immunopathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory arthropathy. The majority of evidence, derived from genetics, tissue analyses, models, and clinical studies, points to an immune-mediated etiology associated with stromal tissue dysregulation that

Structure and pathogenicity of antibodies specific for citrullinated collagen type II in experimental arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Antibodies to citrulline-modifi ed proteins have a high diagnostic value in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, their biological role in disease development is still unclear.

Rheumatoid arthritis and citrullination [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Rheumatology, 2018
Purpose of reviewDysregulated citrullination is a key element that drives the production and maintenance of antibodies to citrullinated proteins, a hallmark in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This article reviews recent literature on the origin of citrullinated antigens in RA.Recent findingsThe study of synovial fluid from patients with RA has provided ...

Citrullination and the protein code: crosstalk between post-translational modifications in cancer

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2023
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins are central to epigenetic regulation and cellular signalling, playing an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of numerous diseases.

Progression on Citrullination of Proteins in Gastrointestinal Cancers

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2019
The citrullination modification (Cit) of proteins has received increasing attention in recent years. This kind of protein modification was first discovered in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Implication of the Association of Fibrinogen Citrullination and Osteoclastogenesis in Bone Destruction in Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesCells, 2020
Immune complexes containing citrullinated fibrinogen are present in the sera and synovium of rheumatoid arthritis patients and potentially contribute to synovitis. However, fibrinogen can inhibit the osteoclastogenesis of precursor cells. We investigated

Quantification of IFNγ- and IL17-producing cells after stimulation with citrullinated proteins in healthy subjects and RA patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Antibodies against citrullinated proteins are highly specific for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and are currently used as a diagnostic marker. In this study, we wanted to quantify the numbers of T cells that react to a wide range of citrullinated proteins in

Citrullination Alters the Antiviral and Immunomodulatory Activities of the Human Cathelicidin LL-37 During Rhinovirus Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Human rhinoviruses (HRV) are the most common cause of viral respiratory tract infections. While normally mild and self-limiting in healthy adults, HRV infections are associated with bronchiolitis in infants, pneumonia in immunocompromised patients, and ...

Protein citrullination: inhibition, identification and insertion

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2023
Protein citrullination is a post-translational modification (PTM) that is catalysed by the protein arginine deiminase (PAD) family of enzymes. This PTM involves the transformation of an arginine residue into citrulline.
