SAP discovery: the sword edges--beneficial and harmful.

Autoimmun Rev

Department of Rheumatology and Hematology, Nihon University Nerima Hikarigaoka Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.

Published: August 2007

We cloned the SLAM associated protein (SAP) gene in 1995. In 1998, it was discovered that the SAP gene was defective in patients with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease. Subsequently, details on the key role of life-long immune memory (vaccination) and of life-long autoantibody production in patients suffering from autoimmune disease have been revealed. In this paper, we discuss the dual nature of SAP in humans: its beneficial effect on life-long immune memory (vaccination) and its harmful effect on life-long autoantibody production.

Coronary obstruction following plaque rupture is a critical pathophysiological change in the progression of stable angina (SAP) to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The accumulation of platelets and various inflammatory cells on apoptotic endothelial cells is a key factor in arterial obstruction after plaque rupture. Through single-cell sequencing analysis (scRNA-seq) of plaques from SAP and ACS patients, we identified significant changes in the annexin V and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 pathways.

Background: Obesity is a significant risk factor for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and is typically associated with increased intestinal permeability. Understanding the role of specific molecules can help reduce the risk of developing SAP. Claudin 11 (CLDN11), a member of the Claudin family, regulates the permeability of various internal barriers.

With the intensification of climate change coupled with the inadequate agricultural management in certain regions, plants face numerous challenges due to various abiotic stresses. Stress associated proteins (SAPs) are essential functional genes in plants for coping with stress. This research provides a functional analysis of OsSAP17, a protein belonging to the SAP family in rice.
