Mutations in the recombination-activating gene 1, a pivotal component essential for V(D)J recombination and the formation of T- and B-cell receptors, can result in autoimmune hemolytic anemia, a rare hematological condition characterized by the autoantibody-mediated destruction of red blood cells. Herein, we report the case of a 1-year-and-4-month-old girl who presented with progressively aggravated anemia, fever, and cough. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia was confirmed by bone marrow aspiration and Coombs test.

Article Synopsis
  • Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are diseases that affect how the immune system works, causing problems like getting sick easily or having allergies.
  • A 19-year-old girl with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and a family history of similar issues had two genetic mutations that made her immune system not work right.
  • After getting a special treatment called HSCT, she developed serious autoimmune problems like lupus, and tests showed complicated genetic issues can exist in people from close families.

Type XVII Collagen-Specific CD4 T Cells Induce Bullous Pemphigoid by Producing IL-5.

J Invest Dermatol

Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine and Graduate School of Medicine, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune skin disease caused by antibodies against type XVII collagen, leading to blister formation and inflammation in the skin.
  • Researchers created specific CD4 T cell lines that recognize the collagen and tested their effects by transferring them into specially designed mice that only express human COL17.
  • The study found that certain T cell lines caused symptoms similar to bullous pemphigoid, and high levels of IL-5 cytokine were linked to this effect; blocking IL-5 reduced the skin damage and antibody production.

Gut microbiota from B-cell-specific TLR9-deficient NOD mice promote IL-10 Breg cells and protect against T1D.

Front Immunol

June 2024

Section of Endocrinology, Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT, United States.

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of insulin-producing β cells. Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) plays a role in autoimmune diseases, and B cell-specific TLR9 deficiency delays T1D development. Gut microbiota are implicated in T1D, although the relationship is complex.
