Circulating CD3+HLA-DR+ Extracellular Vesicles as a Marker for Th1/Tc1-Type Immune Responses by Ryutaro Oba, Motomichi Isomura, Akira Igarashi, Kinya Nagata

“…The results suggest that these EV subpopulations reflect in vivo activation status of total CD4+, total CD8+, and Th1/Tc1-type T cells, respectively, and may be helpful in T cell-related clinical settings, such as cancer immunotherapy and treatment of chronic infection, autoimmune diseases, and graft-versus-host disease.…”

Revisiting microgenderome: detecting and cataloguing sexually unique and enriched species in human microbiomes by Zhanshan Sam Ma

“…It is important because of its implications to disease susceptibility and therapy, in which men and women demonstrate divergence in many diseases especially autoimmune diseases. In a previous report [1], we presented analyses of several key ecological aspects of microgenderome by leveraging the large datasets of the HMP (human microbiome project) but failed to offer species-level composition differences such as sexually unique species (US) and enriched species (ES). …”

“…Additionally, 45,67 % of patients had one a-Abs, 28.36 % had a two, 21.15 % had three, and 4.8 % had all four a-Abs.A statistically significant difference was observed between the seropositive and seronegative groups regarding the presence of associated autoimmune diseases (p = 0.005). These findings align with the existing literature, highlighting the importance and scientific value of detecting a-Abs in patients with T1D.…”

A DNA-Methylated Sight on Autoimmune Inflammation Network across RA, pSS, and SLE by Xingqiang Wang, Dongyun Lei, Jie Ding, Shuang Liu, Li Tao, Fan Zhang, Jiangyun Peng, Jian Xu

“…With heightened focus on personalized and precise medicine, it is necessary to compare and contrast the difference and similarity of cytokine methylation status between the 3 most classic autoimmune diseases (AIDs). In this study, we integrated 5 Cytokine-Chips from genome-wide DNA methylation datasets of the 3 kind of AIDs, delta-beta value was calculated for intergroup difference, and comprehensive bioinformatics analyses of cytokine genes with aberrant methylations were performed. 125 shared differential methylation variabilities (DMVs) were identified. …”
