Recent advances in the involvement of epigenetics in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus
Clin Immunol. 2023 Dec 1:109857. doi: 10.1016/j.clim.2023.109857. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a typical systemic autoimmune disease that manifests as skin rash, arthritis, lymphadenopathy, and multiple organ lesions. Epigenetics, including DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA regulation, mainly affect the function and characteristics of cells through the regulation of gene transcription or translation. Increasing evidence indicates that there are a variety of complex epigenetic effects in patients with SLE, which interfere with the differentiation and function of...

Natural supplements in antiphospholipid syndrome: A case for further study
The objective of this review is to summarize the mechanistic, epidemiologic and clinical evidence behind the use of natural supplements in APS, with a specific focus on vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, coenzyme Q10, gingerol, and isoquercetin. This review should serve as a compelling argument for the future study of natural supplements in APS.PMID:38036277 | DOI:10.1016/j.clim.2023.109848 (Source: Clinical Immunology)

Novel SLC5A6 mutations lead to B lymphocyte maturation defects with metabolic abnormality rescuable by biotin replenishment
Clin Immunol. 2023 Nov 28;257:109855. doi: 10.1016/j.clim.2023.109855. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe characterized a family diagnosed with immunodeficiency disease presenting with low immunoglobulin levels and skin dyskeratosis. Exome sequencing revealed compound heterozygous missense variants in SLC5A6, the gene encoding a cellular sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) responsible for transporting vitamins, including biotin (vitamin B7). We showed that the biotin deficiency was caused by the SLC5A6 variants resulting in defective B cell differentiation and antibody deficiency. Altered cellular metabolic prof...

Changes in mucosal IgG4 < sup > + < /sup > - and IL-10 < sup > + < /sup > -cell frequencies in adults with eosinophilic esophagitis on a two-food elimination diet
Clin Immunol. 2023 Nov 25:109853. doi: 10.1016/j.clim.2023.109853. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is increasingly diagnosed in patients with dysphagia. Type-2 immunity can induce EoE histopathology via non-IgE-dependent mechanisms, possibly involving IgG4 and IL-10. To elucidate the contribution of this response to EoE pathogenesis, we examined its association with clinical and histologic endpoints in adult EoE patients given a two-food elimination diet. IgG4- and IL-10-expressing cells were counted in esophageal biopsies and serum food-specific IgG4 measured at baseline and follow-up. Variabl...
