Induction treatment for lupus nephritis at a high-complexity hospital in Chile
CONCLUSION: This study did not find significant differences in the clinical response to IVC or MMF at 6 months. Future prospective studies are required to determine the optimal induction therapy for LN, especially in Latin populations.PMID:38652826 | DOI:10.1177/09612033241249574 (Source: Lupus)

Targeting T-bet expressing B cells for therapeutic interventions in autoimmunity
Clin Exp Immunol. 2024 Apr 22:uxae036. doi: 10.1093/cei/uxae036. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTApart from serving as a Th1 lineage commitment regulator, transcription factor T-bet is also expressed in other immune cell types and thus orchestrates their functions. In case of B cells, more specifically, T-bet is responsible for their isotype switching to specific IgG sub-classes (IgG2a/c in mice and IgG1/3 in humans). In various autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and/or rheumatoid arthritis, subsets of T-bet expressing B cells, known as age-associated B cells (CD19+CD11c+CD21-T-bet+) and/or double-neg...

A Case of Palmoplantar Keratoderma in the Constellation of Connective Tissue Diseases
Cureus. 2024 Mar 20;16(3):e56531. doi: 10.7759/cureus.56531. eCollection 2024 Mar.ABSTRACTOverlap syndrome is a clinical challenge and brings together a wide range of treatment options for the treating physician. Addressing each and every complaint of the patient is crucial. A 50-year-old female patient presented with skin thickening, blackening, and hyperkeratosis; dysphagia; joint pain; features of myopathy; Raynaud's phenomenon; and dry mouth. Inflammatory markers were raised along with a positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) with Golgi apparatus pattern, anti-Sjögren's-syndrome-related antigen A (anti-SSA)/Ro60 3+, anti...

Potential therapies targeting metabolic pathways in systemic lupus erythematosus
Clin Immunol. 2024 Apr 20:110224. doi: 10.1016/j.clim.2024.110224. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe pathophysiology of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is multifactorial and involves alterations in metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Increased glycolysis in SLE T cells, which is associated with elevated glucose transporter 1 expression, suggests targeting glucose transporters and hexokinase as potential treatments. Abnormalities in lipid metabolism, particularly in lipid rafts and enzymes, present new therapeutic targets. This review discusses...

A panel of tetranucleotide STR markers as an alternative approach to forensic DNA identification of wolf and dog
Anim Genet. 2024 Apr 21. doi: 10.1111/age.13428. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCommercial panels of microsatellite (STR) loci are focused on the use of DNA of the domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) and are often inapplicable for genotyping the DNA of the gray wolf (Canis lupus lupus). We propose a CPlex test system, including one hexa- and 12 tetranucleotide autosomal STR loci, as well as two sex loci, that is equally efficient in DNA identification of biological samples of the wolf and the dog. Analysis of molecular variance between samples revealed significant differentiation values (FST = 0.0784, p < 0.001), which...

Structural basis for the recognition of IFNAR1 by the humanized therapeutic monoclonal antibody QX006N for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Apr 20:131721. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131721. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInterferon (IFN) alpha/beta receptor 1 (IFNAR1) is indispensable for antiviral responses and the immune regulation. Dysregulation of the IFNAR1-mediaetd signaling pathways leads to deleterious autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). QX006N, a humanized therapeutic monoclonal antibody, specifically targets human IFNAR1 and is in the clinical trial phase for treating SLE, but the molecular mechanism underlying the QX006N-mediated recognition of IFNAR1 remains unclear. Here, we report the high ne...
