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 ...

Prevalence of urinary and bowel incontinence among individuals with myositis: A cross-sectional study

Continence
Background:: No evidenced link exists between myositis and incontinence, however myositis patients identify incontinence as an issue. This research was initiated in response to advocacy by consumers to investigate this topic.

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.

Higher Complement C4 Gene Copy Number Constitutes a Shared Genetic Risk Factor for Giant Cell Arteritis and IgA Vasculitis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

Increased Cardiac Troponin T May Be a Marker of Worsening Skeletal Myopathy in Inclusion Body Myositis: A Case Report

Cardiology Discovery
. Previous studies have reported elevated cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in patients with inclusion body myositis due to skeletal myopathy. Although the trends of cTnT have been reported in some cases, the onset of elevation has barely been reported.

Integrated Clinical and Proteomic Profiling of CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy in Progressive Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To characterize the clinical, immunologic, and proteomic changes associated with CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy in patients with progressive systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods Patients with progressive SSc received CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)‐T cell therapy and were observed longitudinally for safety, clinical efficacy,

From Interferon Signature to the Clinical Landscape: Type I Interferonopathies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective TypeI interferonopathies are heterogeneous diseases driven by dysregulated type I interferon (IFN‐I) signaling. Diagnosis is challenging due to clinical/molecular variability and the need for IFN‐I quantification. The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical, immunologic, genetic, molecular profiles of patients with suspected ...

High prevalence of myositis in a southeastern United States pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus cohort

Pediatric Rheumatology Online Journal, 2011
Inflammatory myositis is reported in 4-16% of adult systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of myositis in a cohort of pediatric SLE patients in the southeastern United States.

Pathogenesis of Myositis

, 2019
In this overview of pathogenic mechanisms contributing to the development of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, we highlight the relative contributions of genetic risk, environmental triggering, adaptive immunity, innate immunity, and “nonimmune ...

Cancer in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Associations and Prognostic Impact From the EUSTAR Registry

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Cancer represents a major cause of death in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Established risk factors are limited to specific subsets, particularly early diffuse anti‐RNA polymerase III (POLR3)–positive disease, needing further exploration. Methods We performed a nested case‐control study within the European Scleroderma Trials and Research group ...
