A single-nucleotide polymorphism (C1858T) causing an amino acid substitution (R620W) in the lymphoid protein tyrosine phosphatase gene PTPN22 has been implicated in type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Graves' disease, juvenile idiopathic arthritis and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, thus revealing a general role for this gene in autoimmune disease. We investigated the association of the C1858T variant in an additional autoimmune disease population by performing a case-control study of 514 British individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) [294 with Crohn's disease (CD) and 220 with ulcerative colitis (UC)] and 374 normal controls. No significant differences in genotype or allele frequencies were observed between IBD, CD or UC and controls, indicating that PTPN22 does not influence risk of IBD.

Background: Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a severe multisystem autoimmune disease featured by small-vessel vasculitis with few or no immune complex, also has a significant genetic predisposition. Growing evidence has confirmed that STAT4 gene is tightly associated with multiple autoimmune diseases, but its contribution to MPA onset is still elusive.

Objective: The aim was to investigated the association between STAT4 gene polymorphisms (rs7572482, rs7574865 and rs12991409) and MPA susceptibility in a Guangxi population of China.

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a rare, benign, but chronic and recurrent inflammatory breast disease that significantly impacts physical and psychological well-being. It often presents symptoms such as pain, swelling, and discharge, leading to diagnostic confusion with malignancy. The etiology of GM remains unclear, though autoimmune and multifactorial components are suspected.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the genetic connection between autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and oral lichen planus (OLP), which may reveal how these conditions are related.
  • A two-step Mendelian randomization analysis identified that AITD may increase the risk of developing OLP, possibly influenced by hypothyroidism and shared genetic factors, particularly the PTPN22 gene.
  • The research emphasizes the importance of understanding endocrine changes in oral health, suggesting a need for further investigation to confirm these findings.

The protein tyrosine phosphatase Lyp/PTPN22 drives TNFα-induced priming of superoxide anions production by neutrophils and arthritis.

Neutrophils are essential for host defense against infections, but they also play a key role in acute and chronic inflammation. The protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene encodes the lymphoid-specific tyrosine phosphatase (Lyp) and a genetic single-nucleotide polymorphism of PTPN22 rs2476601 (R620W) has been associated with several human autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here, we investigated the role of Lyp in TNFα-induced priming of neutrophil ROS production and in the development of arthritis using new selective Lyp inhibitors.

70 % of the ulcerative colitis (UC) linked gene loci are associated with other autoimmune or immunodeficient diseases. The phosphatase activity of PTPN22 can regulate the development of T cells and contribute to regulate the level of inflammation in autoimmune diseases. We produced PTPN22-CS thymus-specific transgenic mice, which suppressed PTPN22 enzyme activity in the thymocytes.
