Functionally distinct ERAP1 and ERAP2 are a hallmark of HLA-A29-(Birdshot) Uveitis [PDF]

Human Molecular Genetics, 2018
Abstract Birdshot Uveitis (Birdshot) is a rare eye condition that affects HLA-A29-positive individuals and could be considered a prototypic member of the recently proposed “MHC-I-opathy” family. Genetic studies have pinpointed the ERAP1 and ERAP2 genes as shared associations across MHC-I-opathies, which suggests ERAP ...

ERAP2 inhibitor −incorporated nanofibers: Characterization and biological assessment

International Journal of Pharmaceutics
ERAP2 is an enzyme essential in the preparation of mature antigen from peptide precursors. Inhibitors of this enzyme can find applications in immuno-oncology and in the treatment of autoimmune diseases including psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis. In recent years, electrospinning has attracted considerable interest in the field of drug delivery.

T cells, the Next Big Target in Axial Spondyloarthritis?

Arthritis &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

Enhancing antitumour response to proteasome inhibitors with inhibitors of insulin‐degrading enzyme, a new molecular vulnerability in multiple myeloma

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 12, Page 3355-3376, June 2026.
Inhibitors of insulin‐degrading enzyme boost PI cytotoxicity through an increased sensitivity of proteasome to PI inhibitors, induction of ISR, DNA damage and Myc down‐regulation. They overcome PI resistance in vitro and induce tumour regression in vivo.
