Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in patients from Spain is associated with intestinal dysbiosis. This study explores whether the alteration of gut microbiome SLE China consistent dysbiosis Spain.The depletion Firmicutes and enrichment Bacteroidetes were Spain. Furthermore, we found that nine genera microbiota SLE-related microorganisms Chinese subjects. Genera Rhodococcus, Eggerthella, Klebsiella, Prevotella, Eubacterium, Flavonifractor Incertae sedis significantly enriched, while...

This study employed microbiome and metabolome analysis to explore the fecal signatures of gout patients. Fecal samples from 52 male individuals (26 healthy controls 26 patients) were analyzed by 1H NMR spectroscopy Illumina Miseq sequencing. The showed being up-regulation opportunistic pathogens, such as Bacteroides, Porphyromonadaceae Rhodococcus, Erysipelatoclostridium Anaerolineaceae. some altered metabolites which may involve uric acid excretion, purine metabolism, inflammatory...

Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a severe autoimmune disorder, is characterized by systemic inflammatory response, autoantibody accumulation and damage to organs. The dysregulation of double-negative (DN) T cells considered as crucial commander during SLE. Neddylation, significant type protein post-translational modification (PTM), has been well-proved regulate cell-mediated immune response. However, the function neddylation in SLE still unknown. Here, we reported that...

Genome-wide association studies conducted on QRS duration, an electrocardiographic measurement associated with heart failure and sudden cardiac death, have led to novel biological insights into function. However, the variants identified fall predominantly in non-coding regions their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identify putative functional coding variation changes interval duration by combining Illumina HumanExome BeadChip genotype data from 77,898 participants of European...

Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, but little known about molecular mechanisms associated with AF arrhythmogenesis. DNA methylation an important epigenetic mechanism that regulates gene expression and downstream biological processes. We hypothesize might play role in susceptibility to develop AF. A total of 2,639 participants from Offspring Cohort Framingham Heart Study were enrolled current study. These included 183 prevalent 220 incident during up 9...

Lupus nephritis (LN) is an inflammatory renal disease of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus lots immune complexes deposited in kidneys. Accumulated studies have demonstrated the close relationships among dyslipidaemia, inflammation, and autoimmune response, oxidative stress patients. Lipids play numerous important roles biological process cellular functions. Herein, shotgun lipidomics was employed to quantitatively analyze lipidomes tissue MRL/lpr mice progression LN (including...
