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 ...

DNA (cytosine‐5)‐methyltransferase 3A (Dnmt3a) mutations limit normal and autoreactive CD4+ T follicular helper responses and attenuate T cell‐driven joint inflammation

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Somatic DNMT3A mutations are the most common drivers of clonal hematopoiesis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and have been associated with seropositive disease and increased inflammatory markers. These mutations are predominantly hypomorphic or dominant‐negative, reducing DNMT3A function.
