LIGHT signaling through LT βR and HVEM in keratinocytes promotes psoriasis and atopic dermatitis-like skin inflammation
J Autoimmun. 2024 Feb 17;144:103177. doi: 10.1016/j.jaut.2024.103177. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPsoriasis (PS) and atopic dermatitis (AD) are common skin inflammatory diseases characterized by hyper-responsive keratinocytes. Although, some cytokines have been suggested to be specific for each disease, other cytokines might be central to both diseases. Here, we show that Tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 14 (TNFSF14), known as LIGHT, is required for experimental PS, similar to its requirement in experimental AD. Mice devoid of LIGHT, or deletion of either of its receptors, lymphotoxin β receptor (LTβR) and herp...

Risk factors for damage accrual in primary antiphospholipid syndrome: A retrospective single-center cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: APS patients had a higher frequency of damage accrual. Microangiopathy and non-criteria manifestations were independent risk factors for damage accrual.PMID:38368768 | DOI:10.1016/j.jaut.2024.103180 (Source: Journal of Autoimmunity)

The enigma of sclera-specific autoimmunity in scleritis
In conclusion, scleral nerve autoantibody reactivity was more common in scleritis and uveitis patients in contrast to healthy controls. Further research is needed to characterize these scleral-nerve directed antibodies and assess their clinical value.PMID:38368769 | DOI:10.1016/j.jaut.2024.103178 (Source: Journal of Autoimmunity)

T cell-mediated skin-brain axis: Bridging the gap between psoriasis and psychiatric comorbidities
J Autoimmun. 2024 Feb 15;144:103176. doi: 10.1016/j.jaut.2024.103176. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPsoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition, is often accompanied by psychiatric comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and other mental disorders. Psychological disorders may also play a role in the development and progression of psoriasis. The intricate interplay between the skin diseases and the psychiatric comorbidities is mediated by the 'skin-brain axis'. Understanding the mechanisms underlying psoriasis and psychiatric comorbidities can help improve the efficacy of treatment by breaking the...

Aberrant B cell receptor signaling in circulating na ïve and IgA < sup > + < /sup > memory B cells from newly-diagnosed autoantibody-positive rheumatoid arthritis patients
CONCLUSION: Collectively, the isotype-specific analysis of multiple key components of the BCR signalosome identified aberrant BCR signaling responses in treatment-naïve autoantibody-positive RA patients, particularly in naïve B cells and IgA+ memory B cells. Our findings support differential involvement of dysregulated BCR signaling in the pathogenesis of autoantibody-positive and autoantibody-negative RA.PMID:38350168 | DOI:10.1016/j.jaut.2024.103168 (Source: Journal of Autoimmunity)

Phenotypes in antiphospholipid syndrome: A hierarchical cluster analysis based on two independent databases
CONCLUSIONS: We identified three phenotypes of APS defined based on preferential associations of organ involvements and differences in presentation. These observations may help clinicians to detect organ involvement and to manage treatment.PMID:38330544 | DOI:10.1016/j.jaut.2024.103173 (Source: Journal of Autoimmunity)
