Article Synopsis
  • Giant cell arteritis (GCA) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) are inflammatory diseases, and researchers are looking for biomarkers to identify active cases and those who may need alternative treatments to glucocorticoids.
  • A study evaluated the presence of interferon type I (IFN-I) markers in GCA and PMR patients, including those not previously treated, but did not find significant differences in IFN-I scores between these groups and healthy controls.
  • The results indicated that the IFN-I signature and serum markers CXCL10 and Galactin-9 were not elevated in patients with GCA or PMR, suggesting that these IFN-I markers may not be useful for diagnosing or guiding treatment

P4-ATPases comprise a family of lipid flippases that translocate lipids from the exoplasmic (or luminal) to the cytoplasmic leaflet of biological membranes. Of the 14 known human P4-ATPases, ATP8B2 is a phosphatidylcholine flippase at the plasma membrane, but its physiological function is not well understood. Although ATP8B2 could interact with both CDC50A and CDC50B, it required only the CDC50A interaction for its exit from the endoplasmic reticulum and subsequent transport to the plasma membrane.
