Primary immune regulatory disorders (PIRD): expanding the mutation spectrum in Turkey and identification of sixteen novel variants.

Human Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEIs) encompass a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders, ranging from mild cases to severe, life-threatening types. Among these, Primary Immune Regulatory Disorders (PIRDs) constitute a subset of IEIs characterized by diverse clinical phenotypes, prominently featuring severe atopy, autoimmunity, lymphoproliferation, hyperinflammation, autoinflammation, and susceptibility to malignancies. According to the latest report from the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS), PIRDs arise from mutations in various genes including LYST, RAB27A, AP3B1, AP3D1, PRF1, UNC13D, STX11, STXBP2, FAAP24, SLC7A7, RASGRP1, CD70, CTPS1, RLTPR, ITK, MAGT1, PRKCD, TNFRSF9, SH2DIA, XIAP, CD27 (TNFRSF7), FAS (TNFRSF6), FASLG (TNFSF6), CASP10, CASP8, FADD, LRBA, STAT3, AIRE, ITCH, ZAP70, TPP2, JAK1, PEPD, FOXP3, IL2RA, CTLA4, BACH2, IL2RB, DEF6, FERMT1, IL10, IL10RA, IL10RB, NFAT5, TGFB1, and RIPK1 genes.

Non-apoptotic FAS signaling controls mTOR activation and extrafollicular maturation in human B cells.

Article Synopsis
  • Defective signaling of the FAS molecule, linked to autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS), leads to hypergammaglobulinemia and fewer conventional memory B cells due to disrupted B cell differentiation.
  • Analysis of ALPS patients revealed low memory B cell numbers, fewer germinal center B cells, and an expanded extrafollicular B cell response, indicating a shift in B cell fate.
  • The study proposes that abnormal non-apoptotic FAS signaling affects the mTOR pathway and gene expression, contributing to the altered B cell responses observed in ALPS.

Background: The autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is a noninfectious and nonmalignant lymphoproliferative disease frequently associated with autoimmune cytopenia resulting from defective FAS signaling. We previously described germline monoallelic FAS (TNFRSF6) haploinsufficient mutations associated with somatic events, such as loss of heterozygosity on the second allele of FAS, as a cause of ALPS-FAS. These somatic events were identified by sequencing FAS in DNA from double-negative (DN) T cells, the pathognomonic T-cell subset in ALPS, in which the somatic events accumulated.

This study aimed to test the hypothesis that necroptosis, toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD) signaling pathway in the jejunum of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged piglets are involved in the alleviation of intestinal injury and inflammation by tryptophan supplementation. Tryptophan supplementation has improved intestinal morphology. Also, tryptophan has been found to increase the mRNA and protein expression of tight junction proteins and decrease the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
