Enhanced expression of miR-21 and miR-150 is a feature of anti-mitochondrial antibody-negative primary biliary cholangitis
(2020)Background & Aims: Anti-mitochondrial-autoantibodies (AMA) remain a hallmark of Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) however approximately 10% of patients test negative for these antibodies. They do not differ in terms of ... -
Geoepidemiology, clinical manifestations and outcome of primary biliary cholangitis in Greece
(2017)Background & aims Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a disease with rising prevalence and considerable geographical variation. To describe the prevalence, spatial and time distribution, baseline characteristics, response ... -
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL44 and UL57 specific antibody responses in anti-HCMV-positive patients with systemic sclerosis
(2017)The role of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has been postulated as a trigger of systemic sclerosis (SSc). The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of antibodies against HCMV UL44 and UL57 antigens not tested in the ... -
Humoral response in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis targets neural precursor cells in the central nervous system of naive rodents
(2017)Background: Neural precursor cells (NPCs) located in the subventricular zone (SVZ), a well-defined NPC niche, play a crucial role in central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis. Moreover, NPCs are involved in the endogenous ... -
Identification of Chitinase-3-Like Protein 1 as a Novel Neutrophil Antigenic Target in Crohn's Disease
(2019)Background and Aims: There is an increasing incidence of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. Autoimmune responses are involved in the pathophysiology of IBD, but their underlying pathways and target antigens have not yet ... -
IL-10-producing regulatory B cells (B10 cells), IL-17 + T cells and autoantibodies in systemic sclerosis
(2017)We aimed to analyze IL-10 + Breg (B10) cells, found to be reduced in systemic sclerosis (SSc), in relation to SSc-specific autoAbs and IL-17 + and IFNγ + T cells in SSc. Peripheral blood B10 cells from 26 patients with SSc ... -
Impact of parietal cell autoantibodies and non-organ-specific autoantibodies on the treatment outcome of patients with hepatitis C virus infection: A pilot study
(2005)AIM: Various side effects have been reported in patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) who were treated with interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha), including the appearance or exacerbation of underlying autoimmune diseases ... -
Increased cholestatic enzymes in two patients with long-term history of ulcerative colitis: Consider primary biliary cholangitis not always primary sclerosing cholangitis
(2017)Several hepatobiliary disorders have been reported in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) being the most specific. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), previously known as primary biliary ... -
Increased immunoreactivity against human cytomegalovirus UL83 in systemic sclerosis
(2017)Objective. To study immunoreactivity against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in systemic sclerosis (SSc), since HCMV has been put forward as a candidate infectious cause. Methods. Eighty four patients with SSc (67 females; ... -
Increased primary autoimmune thyroid diseases and thyroid antibodies in sarcoidosis: Evidence for an under-recognised extrathoracic involvement in sarcoido
(2012)Objective and Design: Sarcoidosis has been associated with thyroid diseases. However, until today no definite conclusions have been drawn. We aimed to assess the frequency of thyroid disorders and the levels of thyroid ... -
Infectome: A platform to trace infectious triggers of autoimmunity
(2013)The "exposome" is a term recently used to describe all environmental factors, both exogenous and endogenous, which we are exposed to in a lifetime. It represents an important tool in the study of autoimmunity, complementing ... -
Major vault protein/lung resistance related protein: A novel biomarker for rheumatoid arthritis
(2021)Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can lead to joint destruction and early institution of effective treatment can preserve joint function. Biomarkers can establish early diagnosis and predict effect of treatment. Vault ... -
Mucosal Autoimmunity to Cell-Bound GP2 Isoforms Is a Sensitive Marker in PSC and Associated With the Clinical Phenotype
(2018)Introduction: Zymogen granule glycoprotein 2 (GP2) was demonstrated as first autoimmune mucosal target in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) associated with disease severity. Autoantibodies to four GP2 isoforms (aGP21−4) ... -
Multiple hit infection and autoimmunity: The dysbiotic microbiota-ACPA connection in rheumatoid arthritis
(2018)Purpose of review This review highlights the most recent data obtained in this field and provides clues toward the better understanding of the close interplay between microbiota and host, leading to autoimmune diseases. ... -
Multiple viral/self immunological cross-reactivity in liver kidney microsomal antibody positive hepatitis C virus-infected patients is associated with the possession of HLA B51
(2004)Liver Kidney Microsomal autoantibody type 1(LKM1) directed to cytochrome P4502D6 (CYP2D6) characterises autoimmune hepatitis type-2 (AIH-2), but is also found in a proportion of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected ... -
NAFLD and autoimmune hepatitis: Do not judge a book by its cover
(2020)Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease (almost 25% of the general population). Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a relatively rare liver disease of unknown aetiology characterized by ... -
Novel immunoassays for detection of CUZD1 autoantibodies in serum of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases
(2017)Pancreatic autoantibodies (PABs) are detected in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Their prevalence is higher in Crohn's disease (CrD) than in ulcerative colitis (UC). Glycoprotein 2 (GP2) and, more recently, ... -
