Low expression of estrogen receptor β in T lymphocytes and high serum levels of anti-estrogen receptor α antibodies impact disease activity in female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Current evidence indicates that estrogens, in particular 17β-estradiol (E2), play a crucial role in the gender bias of autoimmune diseases although the underlying molecular mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated.

Type I Interferon Signaling Augments Autoimmunity in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The cGAS‐STING innate immune pathway is excessively activated both in peripheral monocytes and CNS microglia in patients with NMOSD, leading to an overproduction of IFN‐I. IFN‐I subsequently acts on AQP4‐specific autoreactive T cells. Blocking this pathway may offer novel therapeutic options for individuals with NMOSD.

Exosome-delivered microRNAs promote IFN-α secretion by human plasmacytoid DCs via TLR7 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The excessive production of type I IFNs is a hallmark and a main pathogenic mechanism of many autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Post‐Translational Modified Neoantigens in Autoimmune Diseases: Challenges of Immune Tolerance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Autoimmune diseases have a high incidence and disability rate. The pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases involves the interaction among genetic factors, environmental factors, and immune disorders. The post‐translational modified neoantigens are the key nodal of these three factors. And these post‐translational modified neoantigens, after being presented

Influence of 1 Alpha, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 on T helper 17 cells and related cytokines in systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease. Emerging data suggests that T helper 17 (Th17) cells play a pathogenic role in SLE and the increased number of these cells correlates with disease activity.

Emerging patterns of genetic overlap across autoimmune disorders. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Most of the recently identified autoimmunity loci are shared among multiple autoimmune diseases. The pattern of genetic association with autoimmune phenotypes varies, suggesting that certain subgroups of autoimmune diseases are likely to share ...

A Prion‐Like Domain in EBV EBNA1 Promotes Phase Separation and Enables SRRM1 Splicing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study discoveries that EBV EBNA1 behaves as a prion‐like protein, verified using cell‐based assays and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sup35p prion identification system. The prion‐like domain of EBNA1 drives liquid–liquid phase separation. EBNA1 interacts with the splicing factor SRSF1 to regulate the expression of the SRRM1 splicing isoforms ...

STING COPII ER Export Trafficking and Signaling Primed by Phosphorylation Switches

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This schematic outlines STING trafficking and signaling via coat protein II (COPII)‐mediated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) export. Following cyclic GMP‐AMP (cGAMP) stimulation, TANK‐binding kinase 1 (TBK1) activates on COPII vesicles, partially dissociating into the cytosol to phosphorylate ER‐localized STING, creating pSGME/pFS COPII‐sorting motifs ...

USP8‐Governed MDA5 Homeostasis Promotes Innate Immunity and Autoimmunity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that USP8 stabilizes MDA5 via AKT‐mediated phosphorylation (Ser718), enhancing their interaction and MDA5 deubiquitination. USP8 inactivation degrades MDA5, suppressing type I IFN and cytokine production. Pharmacological inhibition of USP8/AKT alleviates MDA5‐driven autoimmunity, demonstrating the USP8‐MDA5 axis as a therapeutic ...
