Peripheral blood natural killer cell percentages in granulomatosis with polyangiitis correlate with disease inactivity and stage [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction: The role of CD3−CD56+ natural killer (NK) cells in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is poorly understood. Recently, it has been shown that peripheral blood NK cells can kill renal microvascular endothelial cells, suggesting a ...

Interleukin‐5, Eosinophils, and Interleukin‐5 Pathway Inhibitors in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Interlukin‐5 (IL‐5) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) by promoting eosinophil differentiation, activation, and survival. We present here a typical case of EGPA in which treatment with IL‐5 pathway inhibitors is prescribed, showing to be beneficial for the patient.

Risk Factors for Relapse in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis Among Patients With Relapse After Induction of Remission With Rituximab

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of the study was to determine risk factors for relapse of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV) after reinduction of remission with rituximab and discontinuation of maintenance therapy. Methods This is a post hoc analysis of the RITAZAREM clinical trial.

The Effect of Intranasal Niclosamide on Nasal Symptoms in Patients with Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) manifestations are common in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV). There is an unmet need for drugs to target these manifestations. Granuloma formation is characteristic of proteinase 3 (PR3)–AAV. In a zebrafish model, niclosamide inhibits PR3‐induced granuloma formation.
