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

“…Particularly, AZU1 and LTBR with hypomethylated TSS and first exon located in the promoter regions were able to trigger inflammation signaling cascades and play critical roles in autoimmune tautology. Moreover, functional epigenetic module (FEM) algorithm showed that different inflammatory networks are involved in different AIDs; 5 hotspots were identified as biologically plausible pathways in inducing or perpetuating of inflammation which are epigenetically deregulated in AIDs. …”

Combined Treatment with Zinc Aspartate and Intravenous Immunoglobulins (IVIGs) Ameliorates Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) by Diana Straubel, Anja Thielitz, Annegret Reinhold, Kurt Grüngreiff, Dirk Reinhold

“…Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) are widely used in replacement therapy of primary and secondary immunodeficiency disorders and in approved autoimmune indications. In addition, IVIG application is used off-label for treatment of other autoimmune diseases, e.g., multiple sclerosis (MS), an inflammatory autoimmune disorder with a clear T cell-mediated immune pathogenesis. …”
