Cancer Risk in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis: A Nationwide Cohort Study in South Korea 2004 to 2021

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by tissue fibrosis, vasculopathy, and immune dysregulation. Our objectives were to quantify the overall and site‐specific cancer risks in patients with SSc compared to the general population, examine temporal trends in cancer incidence following SSc diagnosis, and explore ...

LOXHD1 and RHOB Expression by Monocytes Predicts Progressive Systemic Sclerosis associated Interstitial Lung Disease

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective A leading cause of death among scleroderma (SSc) patients, interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains challenging to prognosticate. The discovery of biomarkers that accurately determine which patients would benefit from close monitoring and aggressive therapy would be an essential clinical tool.

Downregulation of HMGCS2 mediated AECIIs lipid metabolic alteration promotes pulmonary fibrosis by activating fibroblasts

open access: yesRespiratory Research
Background Abnormal lipid metabolism has recently been reported as a crucial signature of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, the origin and biological function of the lipid and possible mechanisms of increased lipid content in the pathogenesis

ZNF143 in Chromatin Looping and Gene Regulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
ZNF143, a human homolog of the transcriptional activator Staf, is a C2H2-type protein consisting of seven zinc finger domains. As a transcription factor (TF), ZNF143 is sequence specifically binding to chromatin and activates the expression of protein ...

Regulatory T cell enhancement in adults with cystic fibrosis receiving Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor therapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionCystic fibrosis (CF), especially CF lung disease, is characterized by chronic infection, immune dysfunction including impairment of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and an exaggerated inflammatory response.

Sequencing of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis-related genes reveals independent single gene associations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Previous studies investigating a genetic basis for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have focused on resequencing single genes in IPF kindreds or cohorts to determine the genetic contributions to IPF.

Heterogeneity of Rheumatoid Arthritis‐Associated Interstitial Lung Disease by Longitudinal Forced Vital Capacity Trajectory and Associations with Disease Outcomes

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective We aimed to identify unique disease trajectories within rheumatoid arthritis‐associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD) based on longitudinal forced vital capacity (FVC) values and their associated clinical outcomes. Methods We performed a cohort study of RA‐ILD within the Veterans Health Administration from 1999‐2021. RA‐ILD patients were

Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis

open access: yesChest, 1986
The study of animal models of IPF has demonstrated that there is a stereotyped response of the respiratory airspace walls to a wide variety of injuries. Inflammatory and immune effector cells play a major and complex role in the fibrosing process. They may contribute to the injury of the lung beyond the original insult.
