Absence of Functional Autoantibodies Targeting Angiotensin II Receptor Type 1 and Endothelin‐1 Type A Receptor in Circulation and Purified IgG From Patients With Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare but severe autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysregulation, fibrosis, and vasculopathy. Although previous studies have highlighted the presence of functional autoantibodies targeting the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) and endothelin‐1 type A receptor (ETAR), leading to autoantibody‐mediated ...

Update on angiotensin AT2 receptors [PDF]

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2016
This review updates major new findings and concepts introduced during the past year on the role of angiotensin II (Ang II) subtype 2 receptors (AT2Rs) in the control of blood pressure and renal function.AT2R activation prevents sodium (Na) retention and lowers blood pressure in the Ang II infusion model of experimental hypertension and prevents salt ...

An Immunosenescent CD8+ T Cell Subset in Patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis Links Spontaneous Motility to Telomere Shortening and Dysfunction

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective A pathogenetic role of CD8+ T lymphocytes in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r‐axSpA) and other spondyloarthritis (SpA) is sustained by genome‐wide association studies and by the expansion of public T cell clonotypes in the target tissues.

Serum Type I Interferon Score for Prediction of Clinically Meaningful Disease Progression in Limited Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To assess the value of serum type I interferon (IFN) score in predicting clinically meaningful progression in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) using a novel composite endpoint adopted from the MINIMISE clinical trial. Methods A retrospective, longitudinal lcSSc cohort was identified within a national, multicenter observational ...

Aberrant glycosylation of IgG in children with active lupus nephritis alters podocyte metabolism and causes podocyte injury

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Podocytes are integral to the maintenance of the glomerular filtration barrier. Their injury results in proteinuria and disease progression in lupus nephritis (LN). Aberrant IgG glycosylation drives podocyte injury in LN and leads to cytoskeletal rearrangement, motility changes and decreased nephrin production.

Insights into new mechanosensitive behaviors of G protein-coupled receptors [PDF]

arXiv
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a diverse and vital family of membrane proteins that mediate intracellular signaling in response to extracellular stimuli, playing critical roles in physiology and disease. Traditionally recognized as chemical signal transducers, GPCRs have recently been implicated in mechanotransduction, the process of ...

Effect of long‐term voclosporin treatment on renal histology in patients with active lupus nephritis with repeat renal biopsies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective This study characterized the impact of voclosporin on kidney histology in patients with lupus nephritis (LN) who had protocolized repeat kidney biopsies in the AURORA clinical trials. Methods Patients were randomized to voclosporin or placebo treatment for up to three years; all patients received mycophenolate mofetil and low‐dose ...

Variability in intestinal drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters in Crohn's disease and potential impact on oral drug absorption

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims The aim of study was to generate quantitative data on the abundance of drug‐metabolizing enzymes and transporters (DMETs) in inflamed and non‐inflamed Crohn's disease (CD) ileum and colon, for incorporation into physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models, enabling prediction of oral drugs' pharmacokinetics (PK) perturbation in CD patients.

Contribution of the sympathetic nervous system to the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension [PDF]

, 2016
Dysregulation of the sodium-chloride cotransporter (NCC) is believed to significantly impact blood pressure. Recent studies have implicated overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system as a mechanism driving renal NCC dysregulation to evoke the ...
