Myasthenia gravis-specific aberrant neuromuscular gene expression by medullary thymic epithelial cells in thymoma

Yoshiaki Yasumizu et al.

Summary: This study reveals the ectopic expression of neuromuscular molecules in MG-type thymoma, specifically in a distinct subpopulation of medullary thymic epithelial cells (nmTECs). MG-thymoma exhibits microenvironments dedicated to autoantibody production and cell-cell interactions between nmTECs and T/B cells. The findings suggest that nmTECs play a significant role in the pathogenesis of MG through ectopic expression of neuromuscular molecules.

Aire and Fezf2, two regulators in medullary thymic epithelial cells, control autoimmune diseases by regulating TSAs: Partner or complementer?

Yanfei Qi et al.

Summary: The regulation of tissue-specific antigens (TSAs) and their relationship with autoimmune diseases are still under debate. This review compares the roles of Aire and Fezf2 in regulating TSAs and highlights their molecular mechanisms in autoimmune diseases, laying the foundation for improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Identification of genetic risk loci and prioritization of genes and pathways for myasthenia gravis: a genome-wide association study

Ruth Chia et al.

Summary: This study identified genetic risk loci associated with myasthenia gravis through a genome-wide association study and demonstrated different genetic risk factors between early-onset and late-onset cases. Genetic correlation analysis also revealed a genetic link between myasthenia gravis and other autoimmune diseases.
