Modeling of clinical phenotypes in systemic lupus erythematosus based on the platelet transcriptome and FCGR2a genotype

MacIntosh G. Cornwell et al.

Summary: This study investigated the platelet transcriptome in patients with SLE, finding 2290 differentially expressed genes. The study also found that a mutation in a platelet receptor gene is associated with clinical features of SLE. Additionally, a transcriptomic signature was established that can differentiate SLE patients with active disease from those with inactive disease.

Platelet LGALS3BP as a Mediator of Myeloid Inflammation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Hanane El Bannoudi et al.

Summary: Platelets from patients with SLE express increased levels of LGALS3BP, which is correlated with disease severity and clinical phenotypes. LGALS3BP induces the release of proinflammatory mediators and enhances the inflammatory response of macrophages. Therefore, LGALS3BP not only serves as a novel biomarker for SLE clinical activity, but also contributes to the pathogenesis of SLE.

Neutrophil extracellular traps in systemic autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases

Gustaf Wigerblad et al.

Summary: Systemic autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system fails to recognize self from non-self, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Neutrophils, especially the neutrophil extracellular traps they release, play a crucial role in the initiation and perpetuation of these diseases, leading to organ damage. Dysregulation of neutrophil cell death can alter autoantigens and trigger complex inflammatory responses. Studies have identified specific neutrophil subsets associated with systemic autoimmune disorders that contribute to vascular damage and oxidative stress. Advances in technology have enhanced our understanding of neutrophil biology and dysregulation. This review provides an overview of the roles of neutrophils in systemic autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases and explores potential therapeutic targets.

Recent advances in the mechanisms and treatment of immune thrombocytopenia

Drew Provan et al.

Summary: Primary immune thrombocytopenia is an autoimmune disease characterized by a reduced peripheral blood platelet count. Its clinical behavior and treatment responses vary, reflecting its complex underlying pathophysiology. Traditional immune suppression therapy has limited efficacy and affects patients' quality of life. Newer treatments, such as thrombopoietin receptor agonists, have shown high efficacy and improved patient outcomes. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of the disease has led to the development of targeted therapies.

In sickness and in health: The functional role of extracellular vesicles in physiology and pathology in vivo Part I: Health and Normal Physiology

Abi G. Yates et al.

Summary: Previously considered cellular debris, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are now recognized as mediators of physiological and pathological functions in the body. They have the ability to transfer nucleic acids and proteins between distant organs, interact with target cells through their surface proteins, and play a role in health and disease through vesicle-bound lipids. EVs are crucial in the pathogenesis of diseases and the maintenance of system and organ homeostasis.

Fc receptors gone wrong: A comprehensive review of their roles in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases

Emilie Chalayer et al.

Summary: Systemic autoimmune and inflammatory diseases are complex and only partially understood, involving abnormalities in various components of the immune system. Antibodies, particularly autoantibodies, play a key role in autoimmunity. The interaction between antibody fragment crystallisable (Fc) and Fc receptors (FcRs) has attracted much attention recently, with potential therapeutic prospects in the future. This review comprehensively describes the roles of known FcRs in systemic autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and other related diseases.

Clinical and prognostic significance of antinuclear antibodies in primary antiphospholipid syndrome: A multicenter retrospective study

Laure Ricard et al.

Summary: In this study, the clinical and biological data of 195 APS patients were retrospectively analyzed, revealing that APS patients with antinuclear antibodies (ANA-positive APS) may have a more severe clinical phenotype and prognosis, without increasing the risk of developing SLE. Prospective studies with longer follow-up are needed to evaluate the effects of additional therapies in this subset of APS.

TLR7 gain-of-function genetic variation causes human lupus

Grant J. Brown et al.

Summary: Enhanced Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) signaling has been associated with human systemic autoimmune disease, but evidence of TLR7 gene variants causing lupus is lacking. In this study, researchers identified a newly described TLR7(Y264H) variant that increased sensing of guanosine and 2',3'-cGMP and was sufficient to cause lupus in mice. Enhanced TLR7 signaling was shown to drive aberrant B cell survival and the accumulation of specific B cell subsets, while deficiency of the downstream adapter protein MyD88 rescued autoimmunity and all phenotypes. The study highlights the importance of TLR7 and guanosine-containing self-ligands in the pathogenesis of lupus and suggests potential therapeutic targets.

Summary: This study investigated microparticles (MPs) in patients with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and found that the levels of total MPs and endothelial microparticles (EMPs) were significantly higher in triple positive patients compared to single positive patients, and were correlated with IgG antibody titers. Additionally, platelet microparticles (PMPs) were found to be the lowest in triple positive patients and inversely correlated with IgG antibody titers.

Genetic dissection of TLR9 reveals complex regulatory and cryptic proinflammatory roles in mouse lupus

Claire Leibler et al.

Summary: In lupus, TLR9 has two protective functions: one ligand-independent and MyD88-independent function, and another ligand-dependent but MyD88-independent regulatory and MyD88-mediated proinflammatory function. These functions are B cell intrinsic and restrained differentiation into pathogenic age-associated B cells and plasmablasts. This study sheds light on the biology of endosomal TLRs.

Platelet EVs contain an active proteasome involved in protein processing for antigen presentation via MHC-I molecules

Genevieve Marcoux et al.

Summary: Platelets not only play a role in hemostasis but also have an important function in immunity by releasing extracellular vesicles (EVs) when activated. These platelet-derived EVs (PEVs) contain the active 20S proteasome, MHC-I, and lymphocyte costimulatory molecules. PEVs contribute to adaptive immunity by cross-presentation of antigens and have privileged access to immune cells through the lymphatic system.
