Interstitial lung disease (ILD) consists of a group of immune-mediated disorders that can cause inflammation and progressive fibrosis of the lungs, representing an area of unmet medical need given the lack of disease-modifying therapies and toxicities associated with current treatment options. Tissue-specific splice variants (SVs) of human aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are catalytic nulls thought to confer regulatory functions. One example from human histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HARS), termed HARS because the splicing event resulted in a protein encompassing the WHEP-TRS domain of HARS (a structurally conserved domain found in multiple aaRSs), is enriched in human lung and up-regulated by inflammatory cytokines in lung and immune cells.

Sarcoidosis is a noninfectious, inflammatory multisystem disorder characterized by the idiopathic formation of granulomas. The pathogenesis of sarcoidosis remains only partially understood, although various clinical risk factors and extrinsic triggers have been identified, alongside a maintained Th1-mediated immune response. Clinically, sarcoidosis can present with specific manifestations associated with sarcoidal granulomas observable in histological examinations, as well as nonspecific manifestations.

Background: Non-infectious paediatric granulomatous uveitis (PGU) is a rare disease that is idiopathic in more than half of affected children. The diagnosis of definite ocular sarcoidosis (OS) must be supported by the presence of non-caseating granulomas detected in biopsy, and is therefore a challenge in children with PGU. This study investigated the utility of minor salivary gland biopsy (MSGB) in the diagnosis of definite OS in PGU.

Papulo-nodular tattoo reactions can be a key diagnostic clue to an underlying diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Identification of such reactions may justify evaluation by rheumatology to assess for systemic manifestations.

Background: ∼30% of patients with sarcoidosis, a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown cause, need treatment to alleviate symptoms or prevent organ damage. Prednisone and methotrexate (MTX) are the most commonly used drugs; however, success of treatment varies from patient to patient. In this study, we search for biomarkers and pathways that predict response to treatment with prednisone or MTX in extracellular vesicles (EVs).
