Immuno’logique (l’actualité scientifique que vous n’auriez pas osé lire ailleurs) : chromosome X, Xist et auto-immunité féminine
This first article in the Immuno’logical series explores the role of the X chromosome and the non-coding RNA Xist in the female predisposition to autoimmune diseases, by breaking down three fundamental research studies to make them more digestible for non-experts. Xist is a non-coding RNA that inactivates one of the two X chromosomes in every female cell by wrapping around it. Here, we dive into how Xist is involved in the production of anti-RNP antibodies in lupus, how the TLR7 gene can be a rebel and escape Xist's control, and how a lack of affinity between Xist and its X chromosome can contribute to other autoimmune diseases. Let's be serious without taking ourselves too seriously, and uncover the fascinating world of Xist in autoimmunity!
期刊介绍:
Official journal of the SNFMI, La revue de medecine interne is indexed in the most prestigious databases. It is the most efficient French language journal available for internal medicine specialists who want to expand their knowledge and skills beyond their own discipline. It is also the main French language international medium for French research works. The journal publishes each month editorials, original articles, review articles, short communications, etc. These articles address the fundamental and innumerable facets of internal medicine, spanning all medical specialties. Manuscripts may be submitted in French or in English.
La revue de medecine interne also includes additional issues publishing the proceedings of the two annual French meetings of internal medicine (June and December), as well as thematic issues.
