Monomeric serum immunoglobulin A (IgA) can contribute to the development of various autoimmune diseases, but regulation IgA effector functions is not well defined. Here, we show that two subclasses (IgA1 and IgA2) differ in their effect on immune cells due distinct binding signaling properties. Whereas IgA2 acts pro-inflammatory neutrophils macrophages, IgA1 does have pronounced effects. Moreover, different glycosylation profiles, with possessing more sialic acid than IgA2. Removal increases...
Abstract Alcohol consumption is a consistent protective factor for the development of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The underlying mechanism this tolerance-inducing effect alcohol, however, unknown. Here we show that alcohol and its metabolite acetate alter functional state T follicular helper (T FH ) cells in vitro vivo, thereby exerting immune regulatory properties. Alcohol-exposed mice have reduced Bcl6 PD-1 expression well IL-21 production by cells, preventing...
Short-chain fatty acids are microbial metabolites that have been shown to be key regulators of the gut-joint axis in animal models. In humans, dysbiosis was observed rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients as well those at-risk develop RA, and is thought an environmental trigger for development clinical disease. At same time, diet has a proven impact on maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Given this association, we performed feasibility study RA using high-fiber dietary supplementation with...
Objective B cell depletion is an established therapeutic principle in a wide range of autoimmune diseases. However, cells are also critical for inducing protective immunity after infection and vaccination. We undertook this study to assess humoral cellular immune responses with or vaccination against SARS–CoV‐2 patients controls who cell–competent. Methods Antibody (tested using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay) T interferon‐γ immunospot the spike S1 nucleocapsid proteins were assessed...
Abstract Background C-reactive protein (CRP) is often normal in patients with psoriatic disease. Herein, we aimed to define markers of systemic inflammation monomorphic and polymorphic skin, entheseal, joint Methods Three-step approach: (i) selection serum elevated arthritis compared healthy controls from a panel 10 different reflecting the pathophysiology disease; (ii) testing these selected as well larger cohort 210 individuals- 105 disease either skin (S), entheseal (E) or (A) involvement...
To test whether the presence of structural entheseal lesions in psoriasis patients influences risk progression to psoriatic arthritis (PsA).We conducted a prospective cohort study without clinical evidence musculoskeletal involvement who underwent baseline assessment and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) at intraarticular sites by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Adjusted relative risks developing PsA associated with vBMD were calculated using multivariable...
Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is a powerful instrument to fight pathogens, but may induce collateral damage in the affected tissues. Besides pathogen-derived factors, immune complexes are potent inducers of NET formation. Neutrophils express IgA and IgG specific Fc receptors (FcRs) therefore respond complexed IgG. Especially context autoimmune diseases, have been shown trigger formation, process that putatively contributes disease severity. However, it question if both...
Abstract Background Glycosylation is an important posttranslational modification of proteins and in most cases indispensable for proper protein function. Like soluble proteins, IgA, the second prevalent antibody human serum, contains several N- O-glycosylation sites. While IgG impact Fc glycosylation on effector functions inflammatory potential has been studied intensively, only little known IgA. In addition, glimpses exist regarding regulation IgA glycosylation. We have previously shown...
Certolizumab pegol (CZP) is a PEGylated antigen-binding fragment-fragment of humanized mAb neutralizing TNF. It lacks Fc-fragment and has very low potential to cross the placenta. We aimed report efficacy safety CZP in case series patients with refractory Takayasu arteritis (TA). Ten females reproductive age (18–35 years) TA were treated (at dose 400 mg at weeks 0, 2 4 200 every thereafter) for median 10 months (range 3–28). Prior administration all received glucocorticoids ± MTX, CYC, AZA,...
Cellular lipid uptake (through endocytosis) is a basic physiological process. Dysregulation of this process underlies the pathogenesis diseases such as atherosclerosis, obesity, diabetes, and cancer. However, to date, only some mechanisms endocytosis have been discovered. Here, we show previously unknown mechanism cargo into cells mediated by receptor Mincle. We found that Mincle, shown be pattern recognition innate immune system, tightly binds range self-lipids. Moreover, revealed minimal...
Abstract Objectives A substantial proportion of RA patients flare upon withdrawal DMARDs, and thus the definition prognostic markers is crucial. ACPA positivity has been identified as a risk factor for flare. However, only role IgG established in this context, while IgA poorly defined. We aimed to investigate flaring RA. Methods Serum levels IgA1 IgA2 at baseline after 12 months were measured 108 from randomized controlled RETRO study. stable remission least 6 study recruitment assigned...
Here, for the first time, structure of genes involved in sex determination mammals (full
The tendency to auto-aggressive, including suicidal, behavior in adolescents is a variant of deviant tendencies, which are formed under the influence different factors. consummation destructive information on Internet has been considered lately as one such goal this study was finding correlation between auto-aggressive character and frequency Internet.

Objective Events triggering disease outbreak in individuals at-risk for rheumatoid arthritis (RA at-risk) remain unclear, and the role of various anticitrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) isotypes this process is still to be established. We aimed investigate prevalence IgA ACPA RA individuals, their transition from status dynamics during transition. Methods Cross-sectional measurement serum IgA1 IgA2 levels was conducted healthy controls, patients with compared frequency development at risk...

Disorders of dietary sugar assimilation occur more often among native people the Arctic then in temperate climate inhabitants.It is hypothesized that limited variety natural exogenous sugars Arctic, and their low content traditional diets northerners accordance with a “protein-lipid” type metabolism weakened selection, favoring diversity disaccharidase enzymes.
The article describes the possible application of principles cultural-historical approach and activity theory to inspection toys play environments. A children’s playground is treated as cultural means or artifact created by adults for starting a child’s activity. In terms historical psychology, psycho-pedagogical analysis based on identification value level compliance with objectives peculiar age. Analysis design are understanding single space, where each element has potential any...
Genetically determined deficiency of the lactase enzyme in adults (primary hypolactasia) is a recessive trait. As shown earlier, some European populations primary hypolactasia by carrying CC genotype at single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) LCT*С/T-13910. In this work allele and frequencies were estimated for LCT*C/ T-13910 7 samples (346 individuals total), representing Eurasian (Saami, Mari, Russians from Volga-Ural Area, Kazakhs, Uyghurs, Buriats, Arabs). For part these groups earlier...

Abstract Objectives Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is associated with bone erosion and inflammation-induced loss, which are mediated by osteoclasts (OC) modulated inflammatory cytokines. Apremilast (APR) (a selective phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor) efficacious in PsA acts inhibiting cytokine production. However, there no direct data informing whether how APR affects osteoclast formation humans. Methods Osteoclastogenic production activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was...
