The Role of Autophagy in the Degradation of Misfolded HLA ‐B27 Heavy Chains
ConclusionThese results demonstrate for the first time that both autophagy and ERAD play a role in the elimination of excess HLA class I heavy chains expressed in transgenic rats. We found no evidence that HLA‐B27 expression modulated the autophagy pathway. Our results suggest that impaired ubiquitination of HLA‐B27 may play a role in the accumulation of misfolded disulfide‐linked dimers, whose elimination can be enhanced by activation of autophagy. Manipulation of the autophagy pathway should be further investigated as a potential therapeutic avenue in spondyloarthritis.This article is protected by copyright. All ri...

Antiphospholipid Antibodies Inhibit Trophoblast Toll ‐like Receptor and Inflammasome Negative Regulators
ConclusionBasal TAM receptor function and autophagy may serve to inhibit trophoblast TLR and inflammasome function, respectively. Impaired TAM receptor signaling and autophagy by anti‐β2GPI aPL may allow subsequent TLR and inflammasome activity leading to a robust inflammatory response.This article is protected by copyright.

Selective activation of tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 induces anti ‐inflammatory responses and alleviates experimental arthritis
ConclusionsSummarizing, our data argue for the use of TNFR2‐selective therapeutics as an effective approach in treating arthritic disease and possibly other inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Arthritis and Rheumatism)

The molecular basis for dysregulated activation of NKX2 ‐5 in vascular remodelling of systemic sclerosis
ConclusionsNKX2‐5 is genetically associated with scleroderma, pulmonary hypertension and fibrosis. Functional evidence revealed a regulatory mechanism which results in NKX2‐5 transcriptional activation in PASMC through the interaction of an upstream promoter and a novel downstream enhancer. This mechanism can act as a model for NKX2‐5 activation in cardiovascular disease characterised by vascular remodelling.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
