Type I interferon–mediated monogenic autoinflammation: The type I interferonopathies, a conceptual overview

Type I interferon–mediated monogenic autoinflammation: The type I interferonopathies, a conceptual overview | AUTOIMMUNITY | Scoop.it
Type I interferon is a potent substance. As such, the induction, transmission, and resolution of the type I interferon–mediated immune response are tightly regulated. As defined, the type I interferonopathies represent discrete examples of a disturbance of the homeostatic control of this system caused by Mendelian mutations. Considering the complexity of the interferon response, the identification of further monogenic diseases belonging to this disease grouping seems likely, with the recognition of type I interferonopathies becoming of increasing clinical importance as treatment options are developed based on an understanding of disease pathology and innate immune signaling. Definition of the type I interferonopathies indicates that autoinflammation can be both interferon and noninterferon related, and that a primary disturbance of the innate immune system can “spill over” into autoimmunity in some cases. Indeed, that several non-Mendelian disorders, most particularly systemic lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis, are also characterized by an up-regulation of type I interferon signaling suggests the possibility that insights derived from this work will have relevance to a broader field of clinical medicine.

Microbiomic and Posttranslational Modifications as Preludes to Autoimmune Diseases

Microbiomic and Posttranslational Modifications as Preludes to Autoimmune Diseases | AUTOIMMUNITY | Scoop.it
Diagnosis and treatment of autoimmunity has mainly relied on adaptive immunity. Infection
and inflammation induce cytokines and chemokines and activate myeloid cells to release
enzymes. Proteases cleave host proteins into a molar excess of remnant peptides. Additional
enzymes modify these peptides into putative autoantigens prior to T and B cell activation.
We propose that post-translational modifications may be a means of generating auto-reactive
peptides. Microbes also provide proteases and modifying enzymes to the host, and we
posit that this may result in autoantigen generation.

Autoimmune Renal Disease Is Exacerbated by S1P-Receptor-1-Dependent Intestinal Th17 Cell Migration to the Kidney

Autoimmune Renal Disease Is Exacerbated by S1P-Receptor-1-Dependent Intestinal Th17 Cell Migration to the Kidney | AUTOIMMUNITY | Scoop.it
By photolabelling intestinal cells, Krebs and colleagues provide direct evidence that
microbiota-induced TH17 cells egress from the gut S1PR1-dependently and infiltrate
the kidney via CCL20/CCR6 in immune-mediated diseases. This finding will build the
basis for therapies targeting the intestinal TH17 cell “reservoir” to treat extraintestinal
TH17 autoimmunity.
