Protein citrullination modification plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are extensively employed for clinical diagnosis of RA. However, there remains limited understanding regarding specific citrullinated proteins and their implications in the progression of RA. In this study, we screen and verify insulin-like growth factor-2 mRNA binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) as a novel citrullinated protein with significantly elevated citrullinated level in RA.

The Role of Immune Semaphorins in Sepsis-A Prospective Cohort Study.

Microorganisms

December 2024

Department for Infectious Diseases, School of Medicine, University of Zagreb, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia.

In sepsis, a balanced pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory response results in the bacterial clearance and resolution of inflammation, promoting clinical recovery and survival. Semaphorins, a large family of secreted and membrane-bound glycoproteins, are newly recognized biomarkers and therapeutic targets in immunological and neoplastic disorders. Although semaphorins might also be a crucial part of host defense responses to infection, their role in sepsis is yet to be determined.

Article Synopsis
  • Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is critical for energy consumption, and its dysfunction can lead to metabolic diseases and obesity, especially as we age.
  • The study identifies that perineurial cells, which have reduced antioxidant capacity due to lacking superoxide dismutase 2, impair BAT function by causing sympathetic nerve denervation and reducing fat oxidation.
  • Targeting Meflin-expressing stromal cells may be a promising strategy to strengthen BAT function and combat age-related metabolic issues.

Plexins: Navigating through the neural regulation and brain pathology.

Neurosci Biobehav Rev

January 2025

Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences, Gurugram University (A State Govt. University), Gurugram, Haryana,  India. Electronic address:

Plexins are a family of transmembrane receptors known for their diverse roles in neural development, axon guidance, neuronal migration, synaptogenesis, and circuit formation. Semaphorins are a class of secreted and membrane proteins that act as primary ligands for plexin receptors. Semaphorins play a crucial role in central nervous system (CNS) development by regulating processes such as axonal growth, neuronal positioning, and synaptic connectivity.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease accompanied with the loss of cartilage and consequent nociceptive symptoms. Normal articular cartilage maintains at aneural state. Neuron guidance factor Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) is a membrane-associated secreted protein with chemorepulsive properties for axons.
