Porphyromonas gingivalis associates with the presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies, but not with the onset of arthritis: studies in an at-risk population by Helga Westerlind, Linda Mathsson-Alm, Alexandra Circiumaru, Aase Hensvold, Karin Lundberg, Jan Potempa, Yogan Kisten, Charlotte De Vries, Marina Dehara, Barbara Potempa

“…Objective The antibody response against Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) is elevated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), especially in patients with anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA). Here, we investigated whether antibodies against the Pg virulence factor arginine gingipain (Rgp) are associated with the RA-risk phase and development of arthritis.Methods At-risk individuals were included in a prospective study (Risk-RA) based on a positive anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide 2 (CCP2) antibody test, and having musculoskeletal complaints but no signs of arthritis. …”

Anti-Inflammatory Functions of Protein C Require RAGE and ICAM-1 in a Stimulus-Dependent Manner by Natascha Braach, Kirsten Buschmann, Johanna Pflaum, Hannes Hudalla, Lutz Koch, Eduard Ryschich, Johannes Poeschl, David Frommhold

“…Using different inflammatory mouse models we investigated how RAGE and ICAM-1 are involved in anti-inflammatory functions of protein C (PC; Ceprotin, 100 U/kg). We found that, depending on the stimulus, RAGE and ICAM-1 are cooperatively involved in PC-induced inhibition of leukocyte recruitment in cremaster models of inflammation. …”

At the Start of the Sarcomere: A Previously Unrecognized Role for Myosin Chaperones and Associated Proteins during Early Myofibrillogenesis by J. Layne Myhre, David B. Pilgrim

“…The development of striated muscle in vertebrates requires the assembly of contractile myofibrils, consisting of highly ordered bundles of protein filaments. Myofibril formation occurs by the stepwise addition of complex proteins, a process that is mediated by a variety of molecular chaperones and quality control factors. …”
