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.

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

open access: yesArthritis &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.

Kidney Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells Contribute to Myeloid Development and Pathology in Lupus Nephritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives The hematopoietic system maintains homeostasis by balancing myeloid and lymphoid cell production in the bone marrow (BM). In response to increased hematopoietic demand, extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) may occur in non‐lymphoid organs. We investigated the role of EMH and kidney‐resident hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in ...

Higher complement C4 gene copy number constitutes a shared genetic risk factor for giant cell arteritis and IgA vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
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 ...

5‐Methylcytosine Analysis of miRNAs in Minimal Change Disease

open access: yesBiotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Minimal change disease (MCD) is a glomerular disorder, which is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. Additionally, the prevalence of MCD in adults has been increasing in recent years. During protein synthesis, noncoding RNAs can be regulated through a variety of modifications, which helps preserve biological diversity and ...

A Pathway to High Quality Clinical Trials in IgA Vasculitis Nephritis: Meeting Proceedings From a Multiprofessional International Collaborative Workshop

open access: yesKidney International Reports
IgA vasculitis (IgAV) is an autoimmune disease that affects the small vessels of the skin, joints, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and kidneys. In the long term, IgAV associated with nephritis (IgAV-N) can progress to kidney failure. Evidence-based clinical
