We here describe the identification of a novel variant in the anti-inflammatory Annexin A1 protein likely to be the cause of disease in two siblings with autosomal recessive parkinsonism. The disease-segregating variant was ascertained through a combination of homozygosity mapping and whole genome sequencing and was shown to impair phagocytosis in zebrafish mutant embryos. The highly conserved variant, absent in healthy individuals and public SNP databases, affected a functional domain of the protein with neuroprotective properties. This study supports the hypothesis that damaged microglia might lead to impairments in the clearance of accumulated and aggregated proteins resulting in parkinsonism. ANN NEUROL 2021;90:319-323.

Objectives: Formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) is a member of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family that detects potentially danger signals characterized by the appearance of N-formylated peptides which originate from either bacteria or host mitochondria during organ injury, including sepsis. Mitochondrial-encoded NADH dehydrogenase 6 (MT-ND6) and Annexin A1 (ANXA1), as mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (mtDAMPs) agonist and endogenous agonist of FPR1 respectively, interact with FPR1 regulating polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) function and inflammatory response during sepsis. However, there is no direct evidence of MT-ND6 or ANXA1 in the circulation of patients with sepsis and their potential role in clinical significance, including diagnosis and mortality prediction during sepsis.

Oncostatin M (OSM) has pleiotropic effects on various inflammatory diseases, including kidney stone disease. The prevalence of kidney stones has increased worldwide, despite recent therapeutic advances, due to its high recurrence rate, suggesting the importance of prevention of repeated recurrence in the treatment of kidney stone disease. Using a mouse model of renal crystal formation, we investigated the preventive effects of blockade of OSM receptor β (OSMRβ) signaling on the development of kidney stone disease by treatment with a monoclonal anti-OSMRβ antibody that we generated.

Objective: Annexin-1 (ANXA1), a member of the annexin family, plays a role in the resolution of inflammation and the regulation of anti-inflammatory responses, while annexin-2 (ANXA2) is involved in the initiation of the inflammatory responses. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of annexin family (ANXA1 and ANXA2) in periodontal disease.
Methods: Healthy participants (n:25) and stage III, grade B periodontitis (n:25) patients enrolled for this study.

Annexin A1, a protein released by neutrophils, is a potent regulator of inflammation in the intact form, but loses this activity when cleaved. The presence of autoantibodies to this protein can impact its function. An immunoassay, developed to measure autoantibodies to Annexin A1 in plasma or serum, has been developed and performances are reported.

Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the tooth-supporting structures, triggered by the host's immune response toward the bacterial deposits around the teeth. Annexin A1 (AnxA1), a vital member of the annexin superfamily, is known for its diverse physiological functions, particularly its anti-inflammatory and anti-senescence properties. We hypothesized that AnxA1 has a protective effect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses and cellular damage in periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs).
