Investigating the Role of Type I Interferon Signaling on Muscle Disease Using Mouse Models

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Dysregulated type I interferon (IFN) signaling contributes to autoimmune myositis pathogenesis. We investigated the therapeutic effects of JAK inhibitors in two mouse models. We also examined how type I IFNs affect muscle vasculature. Methods Myositis was induced in major histocompatibility complex class I double transgenic ([TRE‐H‐2Kb (H ...

Improved Detection of Myositis‐Specific Autoantibodies Using Luciferase Immunoprecipitation Systems Assay: Comparison With Line Blot and Conventional Immunoprecipitation

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Myositis‐specific autoantibodies guide the diagnosis and classification of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, but current immunoassays vary in accuracy, particularly for autoantibodies associated with interstitial lung disease. To compare the performance of the luciferase immunoprecipitation systems (LIPS) assay with line blot and ...

Four and a half LIM protein 1C (FHL1C) [PDF]

, 2011
Four-and-a-half LIM domain protein 1 isoform A (FHL1A) is predominantly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Mutations in the FHL1 gene are causative for several types of hereditary myopathies including X-linked myopathy with postural muscle atrophy

Interleukin‐2 Deprived State of Regulatory T cells and Their Recovery by Low‐Dose Interleukin‐2 in Patients With Inflammatory Myopathies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Regeneration and expansion of Treg by low‐dose interleukin‐2 (IL‐2) therapy is considered a potential treatment strategy for a wide range of autoimmune diseases. To provide a pathophysiologically‐based rationale for low‐dose IL‐2 therapy, we investigated whether reversible defects in the Treg–IL‐2 axis emerge in inflammatory myopathies ...

Patients with chronic heart failure and predominant left atrial versus left ventricular myopathy

Cardiovascular Ultrasound
Background Left atrial (LA) and ventricular (LV) functional impairment often co-exist in patients with heart failure (HF). However, some patients with HF have a disproportionate LA or LV dysfunction.

Immune Complexes Shape the Pathogenicity of Autoantibodies in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases: Insights From an FcγRIIIA‐Reporter Assay

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Immune complexes (ICs), formed by autoantigen and autoantibody, play a pathogenic role in systemic autoimmune diseases through stimulation of Fcγ receptors (FcγR). However, studies investigating bioactivity of circulating ICs across various diseases remain limited.

Progressive myopathy in an inducible mouse model of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy

Neurobiology of Disease, 2012
The genetic basis of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a short expansion of a polyalanine tract (normal allele: 10 alanines, mutant allele: 11–17 alanines) in the nuclear polyadenylate binding protein PABPN1 which is essential for controlling ...

Therapeutic drug monitoring of antimicrobials in a paediatric setting: A retrospective single‐centre study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Paediatric pharmacokinetics differ significantly from adults due to age‐related physiological changes, necessitating precise dose adjustments. However, data on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) implementation in paediatric setting remain limited.

Pharmacovigilance analysis of myopathy associated with azoles and nonstatins interactions based on US FAERS database

Scientific Reports
Azoles are first-line antifungal agents known to increase the risk of statin-related myopathy due to drug interactions. However, myopathy events have also been observed in patients using azoles without concurrent statin use, suggesting that azoles may be

Patients on statins with elevated transaminases: Frequency of follow‐up creatine kinase testing and gastroenterology referral

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To quantify how often creatine kinase (CK) is measured after newly elevated aminotransferases in statin users, and whether absent CK data are associated with gastroenterology (GI) referrals. Methods Retrospective chart review of adult outpatients on statins with a first alanine/aspartate aminotransferase (ALT/AST) elevation during a 5 ...
