Safety of sarilumab in a Japanese population with rheumatoid arthritis by age group: Data from an interim analysis of a postmarketing surveillance study.

Objectives: Using data from a postmarketing surveillance, this interim subgroup analysis investigated the safety of sarilumab in younger (<65 years) and older patients (≥65 and ≥75 years) with rheumatoid arthritis.

Methods: During this interim analysis, patients who were treated with sarilumab in Japan were enrolled between June 2018 and 2021. Data collected by 12 January 2022 were analysed, with adverse drug events monitored over 52 weeks.

Activation of the canonical beta-catenin pathway by histamine.

Histamine signaling is a principal regulator in a variety of pathophysiological processes including inflammation, gastric acid secretion, neurotransmission, and tumor growth. We report that histamine stimulation causes transactivation of a T cell factor/beta-catenin-responsive construct in HeLa cells and in the SW-480 colon cell line, whereas histamine did not effect transactivation of a construct containing the mutated response construct FOP. On the protein level, histamine treatment increases phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase 3-beta in HeLa cells, murine macrophages, and DLD-1, HT-29, and SW-480 colon cell lines.
