Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between YKL-40 and PM/DM. We retrospectively enrolled 35 patients diagnosed with PM/DM along with 26 healthy controls (HCs). Both PM and DM were diagnosed according to Bohan and Peter's criteria. Serum YKL-40 levels were measured, age-corrected to YKL-40 percentile values, and compared to HCs. Patients with myositis without interstitial lung disease were also enrolled and compared to HCs. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to identify YKL-40-positive inflammatory cells in muscle biopsy samples from two patients each with PM and DM. Age-corrected serum YKL-40 levels were significantly higher in patients with PM/DM compared to HCs with and without lung disease; however, these levels decreased significantly after treatment. Immunohistochemical analysis showed infiltration of YKL-40-positive inflammatory cells into the intramuscular sheath and perimuscular membrane. Immunofluorescence staining showed CD68 expression in YKL-40-positive inflammatory cells, suggesting that these cells were macrophages. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that YKL-40-positive macrophages are present in PM and DM, indicating that YKL-40 may be involved in PM/DM.","PeriodicalId":37286,"journal":{"name":"Immunological Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"37-44"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41215109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The disease is characterized by recurrent airway infections and bronchiectasis. It is associated with hyper-IgM syndrome due to the defect of immunoglobulin class switch recombination and decreased CD27-positive memory B cells. Patients also suffered from immune dysregulations, such as lymphadenopathy, autoimmune cytopenia or enteropathy. T-cell dysfunction due to increased senescence is associated with a decrease in CD4-positive T lymphocytes and CD45RA-positive naive T lymphocytes, along with increased susceptibility to Epstein-Barr virus/cytomegalovirus infections. In 2014, loss-of-function (LOF) mutation of p85α (responsible gene: PIK3R1), a regulatory subunit of p110δ, was identified as a causative gene, followed in 2016 by the identification of the LOF mutation of PTEN, which dephosphorylates PIP3, leading to the differentiation of APDS1 (PIK3CD-GOF), APDS2 (PIK3R1-LOF) and APDS-L (PTEN-LOF). Since the pathophysiology of patients with APDS varies with a wide range of severity, it is crucial that patients receive appropriate treatment and management. Our research group created a disease outline and a diagnostic flow chart and summarized clinical information such as the severity classification of APDS and treatment options.","PeriodicalId":37286,"journal":{"name":"Immunological Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"153-157"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9447104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To perform a literature review and identify the characteristics of complement abnormalities in ITP. PUBMED was used to collect the literature published up to June 2022 related to ITP and complement abnormalities. Primary and secondary ITP (CTD-related) were examined. Out of the collected articles, 17 were extracted. Eight articles were related to primary ITP (pITP) and 9 to CTD-related ITP. Analysis of the literature revealed that the ITP severity was inversely correlated with serum C3, C4 levels in both ITP subgroups. In pITP, a wide range of complement abnormalities was reported, including abnormalities of initial proteins, complement regulatory proteins, or the end products. In CTD-related ITP, reported complement abnormalities were limited to the initial proteins. Activation of the early complement system, mainly through activation of C3 and its precursor protein C4, was reported for both ITPs. On the other hand, more extensive complement activation has been reported in pITP.","PeriodicalId":37286,"journal":{"name":"Immunological Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"182-190"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9524030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Large-scale clinical trials on AD utilizing JAK inhibitors and biologic reagents, such as dupilumab, which targets the IL-4Rα receptor subunit of the Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13, have yielded highly favorable results in comparison to traditional therapies. This indicates that therapeutic strategies based on molecular biology are efficacious in clinical settings. However, in September 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicated that tofacitinib, a JAK inhibitor, may carry various risks, including severe heart disease. Similar concerns have been raised for other JAK inhibitors, and further safety evaluations are underway. Thus, human biology involving JAKs appeared more complicated than we expected. In this article, we provide an overview of the molecular mechanisms of AD and examine the molecular targeting drugs for AD from the perspective of JAK-related biology.","PeriodicalId":37286,"journal":{"name":"Immunological Medicine","volume":"46 3","pages":"112-120"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9919927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
