The internal sequence of the peptide-substrate determines its N-terminus trimming by ERAP1.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
BackgroundEndoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) trims N-terminally extended antigenic peptide precursors down to mature antigenic peptides for presentation by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules.

T cells, the Next Big Target in Axial Spondyloarthritis?

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by complex immune dysregulation, with T cells playing a central role in its pathogenesis. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge on diverse T cell subsets in axSpA, their pathogenic mechanisms, and emerging therapeutic strategies targeting these cells. We highlight

ERAP, KIR, and HLA-C Profile in Recurrent Implantation Failure

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
The mother’s uterine immune system is dominated by uterine natural killer (NK) cells during the first trimester of pregnancy. These cells express killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) of inhibitory or activating function. Invading extravillous

TNFSF14/LIGHT responses in intestinal and oesophageal fibroblasts are differentially modulated by hydroxylase inhibitors

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend LIGHT is a mutual mediator of intestinal and oesophageal fibroblast inflammation with common as well as tissue‐specific effects. Hydroxylase inhibitors can selectively suppress inflammatory factors in both cell types, albeit targeting different signalling pathways.

Turning Cold Tumors Into Hot Tumors: Implications for Cancer Therapy

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Barrier‐defined strategies for cold‐to‐hot tumor conversion. Cold tumors include immune‐desert and immune‐excluded states marked by poor antigen visibility, limited T‐cell priming, stromal or vascular exclusion, metabolic stress and suppressive immune programs.

Human leukocyte antigen B polymorphism and association between HLA‐B27 and endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 rs30187 SNP in patients with ankylosing spondylitis in Bangladesh

open access: yesRheumatology & Autoimmunity, 2022
Objectives To determine the association of Human leukocyte antigen B (HLA‑B) alleles with ankylosing spondylitis and the allelic association of HLA‐B27 with endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs30187 in ...

Harnessing Natural Compounds in Psoriasis: Targeting Cellular Pathways for Effective Therapy

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 4759-4791, August 2026.
Natural compounds act on key cellular pathways in psoriasis by suppressing keratinocyte hyperproliferation, modulating Th17/IL‐17‐mediated immune responses, and reducing oxidative stress. These multi‐target effects highlight their potential as safer adjunctive therapies alongside conventional treatments.

Divergent Paths: A Comprehensive Review of Mechanisms and Clinical Implications in Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis

open access: yesAllergy, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 2309-2324, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are two common cutaneous chronic inflammatory diseases. Although they share similar immunological mechanisms, their clinical implications in the patient are different. This review compares both diseases from different points of view such as genetics, natural history, triggers of disease, and skin barrier defects

Gene Variation of Endoplasmic Reticulum Aminopeptidases 1 and 2, and Risk of Blood Pressure Progression and Incident Hypertension among 17,255 Initially Healthy Women

open access: yesInternational Journal of Genomics, 2018
Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase (ERAP) in blood pressure (BP) homeostasis. To date, no large prospective, genetic–epidemiological data are available on genetic variation within ERAP and hypertension
