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

Autoreactivity vs autoimmunity: characteristics of autoantigen‐specific CD4 T‐cells in rheumatoid arthritis and health.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background CD4 T cells specific for citrullinated (cit)‐peptides are key players in RA immunopathogenesis. Characterising these cells and identifying features of healthy and RA‐associated autoreactivity will provide valuable insight into disease mechanisms and form the basis of immune state biomarkers to facilitate the next generation of RA treatments.

Human leukocyte antigen allele linkage disequilibrium and haplotype structure in volunteer bone marrow donors of Paraná State

Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia
Background Bone marrow transplantation has been used in the treatment of various diseases, especially hematologic diseases. The success of this treatment, among other factors, requires human leukocyte antigens (HLA) compatibility between patient and ...

Mechanisms for genetically predetermined differential quantitative expression of HLA-A and -B antigens

, 2000
Previous studies showed that different HLA-A and -B antigens are differentially expressed in cells. Their relative quantities are genetically predetermined and inherited according to Mendelian laws.

Homocitrullinated Peptides Drive Pro‐Inflammatory T Cell Responses in a Humanized Mouse Model of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Anti‐homocitrullinated protein/peptide antibodies are specific to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and predictive of worse prognosis, suggesting a pathogenic role for autoreactivity to homocitrullinated peptides (HomoCitP). However, T cell responses to HomoCitP remain largely unexplored.

The role of IgM anti‐acetylated protein antibodies and B cells in the origin of anti‐modified protein autoimmunity in rheumatoid arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by anti‐modified protein antibodies (AMPAs), including anti‐citrullinated (ACPA), anti‐carbamylated (anti‐CarP), and anti‐acetylated (AAPA) protein antibodies. In contrast to other AMPAs, AAPA IgM is found in healthy individuals, raising questions about its role in early immune responses.

Increased plasma microbial tDR‐1 in at‐risk individuals is associated with decreased conversion to clinical rheumatoid arthritis and reduces an in vitro macrophage type 1 interferon response

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Microbial small RNAs (sRNAs) can regulate human genes. Higher plasma concentrations of microbial tRNA‐derived RNA‐1 (tDR‐1) were previously associated with lower rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity. This study examined whether tDR‐1 concentrations differ in anti‐cyclic citrullinated peptide‐3 positive (CCP3+) at‐risk individuals (ARI)

Immunoinformatics‐Based Design of a Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Targeting a Conserved Copper–Associated Protein in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neisseria gonorrhoeae poses an urgent public health challenge due to rapidly increasing antimicrobial resistance and the absence of an effective vaccine. Targeting conserved bacterial pathways involved in essential physiological processes may provide new opportunities for vaccine antigen discovery.
