Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is associated with a risk allele T of rs117026326 located at a potential splicing enhancer within the intronic region of general transcription factor II-I (GTF2I). This study aimed to explore the rs117026326-regulated alternative splicing of GTF2I and its role in B cell overactivation in pSS. GTF2I isoform expressions and rs117026326 genotypes of pSS peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were examined using quantitative PCR and Sanger sequencing, respectively.

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a prevalent autoimmune disease characterized by exocrine gland dysfunction, with hallmarks of B cell and T cell overactivation, whose underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Herein, we show that pSS plasma contained more extracellular vesicles (EVs) than HC plasma, which promoted CD4 T cell activation, Th1, and follicular T helper cell (Tfh) differentiation, aggravating pSS immunopathology. Notably, pSS plasma EVs were enriched with miR-501-3p, mediating CD4 T cell activation and Tfh cell differentiation.

To screen and identify the key host proteins interacting with the non-structural protein 15 (Nsp15) of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). The IP/pull-down assay and mass spectrometry were employed to screen and identify the host proteins interacting with Nsp15. The interaction between the host protein and Nsp15 was studied by co-immunoprecipitation and laser scanning confocal microscopy.

Background: Myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) are clinically used to diagnose and define idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) subsets. However, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms of patients with different MSAs remain unclear.

Methods: A total of 158 Chinese patients with IIM and 167 gender- and age-matched healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled.

Objective: To investigate the immune response-related protein profiling in plasma of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), especially in anti-MDA5+ dermatomyositis (DM).

Methods: A total of 166 IIM patients and 107 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled in our study. Ninety-two plasma immune response-related proteins were detected by Olink proteomics in 36 IIM patients and 25 HCs.

Objectives: To investigate the differentiation of regulatory T cells (Tregs) induced by methylprednisolone (MP) pulse therapy in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

Methods: We enrolled 30 patients with SLE and analyzed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) before and after MP pulse therapy. Peripheral Tregs, apoptosis of PBMCs subsets, and TGFβ production by monocytes was quantified by flow cytometry.

Objectives: Whether naive CD4+ T cells are dysregulated and associated with the overactivation of CD4+ T cells in primary SS (pSS) remains unclear. We aimed to explore the role and underlying mechanism of naive CD4+ T cells in pSS.

Methods: We examined the activation, proliferation and differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells from pSS patients and healthy controls.

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic and complex multi-system autoimmune disorder. Higher risks of hematological malignancies (HM) were observed in SLE patients, which was associated with higher mortality. The mechanism and risk factors of HM oncogenesis in SLE patients are still under investigation.

In this paper, we report a simple hydrothermal method for preparation of ultrathin carbon-coated CdS (CdS@C) nanobelts. The CdS@C nanobelts show superior electrochemical properties as an anode material for Li-ion batteries. The optimized CdS@C composites deliver a reversible capacity around 910 mAhg and 48 mAhg at 0.

Objective: Autophagy in the immune and autoimmune diseases has been concerned more and more. We investigated the potential role of cell autophagy of B cells generating IgM in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and explored the relationship between the cell autophagy of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and hepatic fibrosis in PBC.

Methods: We examined the aggregation degree of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3II (LC3II) in B cells of PBC (n = 21), health control (HC, n = 15) and disease control (DC, n = 8, active hepatitis B).

Objectives: To elucidate the potential role of CD3+CD56+ NKT-like cells in the pathogenesis of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).

Methods: We enrolled pSS patients and healthy controls and examined the peripheral population, the surface chemokine receptors and the proinflammatory cytokine production of NKT-like cells by flow cytometry. The infiltration of NKT-like cells in the labial salivary gland (LSG) was examined by immunofluorescence.

Article Synopsis
  • Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by excessive B cell activity, but its mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • Researchers sequenced and analyzed B cells from pSS patients alongside healthy controls, identifying significant differences in gene expression and confirming findings with larger patient samples.
  • The study highlights that elevated EPSTI1 expression in pSS B cells enhances TLR9 signaling and NF-κB activation, suggesting EPSTI1 could be a key factor in pSS development and a potential target for treatment.*

Background: The Latarjet procedure addresses recurrent anterior shoulder instability in the context of a significant bony defect. However, the bony and soft tissue anatomy of the coracoid in coracoid transfer procedures has not yet been defined in Mongolian men. The aims of this study were to describe the soft tissue attachments of the coracoid regarding the bony anatomy, define the average amount of bone available for coracoid transfer, analyze the characteristics of the pectoralis minor and coracoid, and study the relationship between the bony dimensions of the coracoid and body length in Mongolian men.

Background: Previous studies suggest that oxytocin (OT) negatively modulates adipogenesis while promoting osteogenesis in vitro. Because of its effects on marrow stromal cells, OT might have potential utility in therapy for glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO).

Purpose: To explore the effects of OT on marrow adipogenesis in a rabbit model of GIO.
