Emphysema formation in a never-smoker with scleroderma-related interstitial pneumonia

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2018
We report a case of pathological emphysema formation in a never-smoker with scleroderma-related interstitial pneumonia. We realized the importance of pulmonary vasculopathy causing the coexistence of emphysema and fibrosis in scleroderma.

Distinct effects of complement C4A and C4B copy number in Systemic Sclerosis serological and clinical subtypes

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Complement component 4 (C4), encoded by C4A and C4B within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6, regulates the immune response and clears immune complexes. Variable copy number (CN) of C4 genes and retroviral HERV‐K element influence its function.

Linezolid prevents fibroblast activation and ameliorates tissue fibrosis by inhibition of mitochondrial translation

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Beyond its role as a ribosome‐targeting antibiotic, linezolid was recently shown to modulate immune responses by inhibiting mitochondrial translation. Since mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in various fibrotic diseases, including systemic sclerosis (SSc), this study aimed to evaluate the antifibrotic potential of linezolid and ...

Epstein-Barr virus lytic infection promotes activation of Toll-like receptor 8 innate immune response in systemic sclerosis monocytes [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Monocytes/macrophages are activated in several autoimmune diseases, including systemic sclerosis (scleroderma; SSc), with increased expression of interferon (IFN)-regulatory genes and inflammatory cytokines, suggesting dysregulation of the ...

Drugs induced Raynaud's phenomenon and underlying mechanism: a disproportionality analysis from the WHO pharmacovigilance database

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives The aim of this study is to generate hypotheses about unknown drugs associated with the onset or worsening of Raynaud's Phenomenon (RP) and to explore their potential pathophysiological mechanisms through a mixed disproportionality/clustering analysis from the WHO pharmacovigilance database.

Protein kinase Cδ and c-Abl kinase are required for transforming growth factor β induction of endothelial-mesenchymal transition in vitro. [PDF]

, 2011
OBJECTIVE: The origin of the mesenchymal cells responsible for the intimal fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) has not been fully identified. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether subendothelial mesenchymal cells may emerge through ...
