Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Rheumatic Diseases

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate‐like T cells defined by their semi‐invariant T cell receptor and restriction by the major histocompatibility complex class I–related molecule (MR1). These cells are primarily activated by microbial‐derived metabolites presented by MR1 or by cytokines.

Differences in IgG Sialylation Distinguish Asymptomatic From Symptomatic Antinuclear Antibody–Positive Individuals

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The transition from asymptomatic antinuclear antibody (ANA) positivity to systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease (SARD) is associated with increased production of proinflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). Here we investigate whether the relative absence of inflammation in asymptomatic ANA+ individuals (ANA+NS) results ...

The role of nailfold capillaroscopy in interstitial lung diseases - Can it differentiate idiopathic cases from collagen tissue disease associated interstitial lung diseases? [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction: Nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that is mostly used for early diagnosis of collagen tissue diseases (CTDs). We aimed to evaluate whether NFC findings could be a clue for discriminating idiopathic interstitial

Case‐Based Immunology: B Cells and Systemic Sclerosis Interstitial Lung Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), with high mortality and morbidity. Recent clinical studies in SSc‐ILD have led to US Food and Drug Administration–approved therapies in SSc‐ILD. Importantly, evidence from these studies has been extrapolated to guide management of ILDs of other systemic autoimmune

Association of Abatacept With Lower Mortality Risk Compared to Rituximab in Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease: An Emulated Target Trial

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The optimal treatment strategy for rheumatoid arthritis–associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD) remains uncertain, and direct comparative data between biologics are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of abatacept compared with rituximab in patients with RA‐ILD.
