Evaluation of left cardiac chamber function with cardiac magnetic resonance and association with outcome in patients with systemic sclerosis

Steele C. Butcher, Jacqueline L. Vos, Federico Fortuni, Xavier Galloo, Sophie I. E. Liem, Jeroen J. Bax, Victoria Delgado, Madelon C. Vonk, Sander van Leuven, Miranda Snoeren, Saloua El Messaoudi, Jeska K. de Vries-Bouwstra, Robin Nijveldt, Nina Ajmone Marsan

Summary: This study found that lower values of feature-tracking cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived left atrial reservoir strain (LARS) and impaired left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) were associated with the presence of symptoms and long-term prognosis in patients with SSc.

IgG Fab Glycans Hinder FcRn-Mediated Placental Transport

Mikhail Volkov, Maximilian Brinkhaus, Karin A. van Schie, Albert Bondt, Theresa Kissel, Elvera J. van der Kooi, Arthur E. H. Bentlage, Carolien A. M. Koeleman, Steven W. de Taeye, Ninotska I. Derksen, Radboud J. E. M. Dolhain, Ute Braig-Scherer, Tom W. J. Huizinga, Manfred Wuhrer, Rene E. M. Toes, Gestur Vidarsson, Diane van der Woude

Summary: Glycosylation in the Fc and Fab regions of antibodies can affect their function and binding. Fab glycans negatively impact the interaction between IgG and hFcRn and reduce the transport of IgG across the placenta. Fab-glycosylated antibodies are frequently associated with autoimmune and malignant disorders and may have potential harmful effects.

Glycobiology of rheumatic diseases

Theresa Kissel, Rene E. M. Toes, Thomas W. J. Huizinga, Manfred Wuhrer

Summary: Glycosylation is a common modification that affects protein stability and interactions. It plays a significant role in rheumatic diseases, influencing inflammatory processes and disease progression. Understanding the impact of glycosylation on plasma proteins, cells, and tissues opens up potential interventions for the treatment of these diseases.

Autoreactive B cell responses targeting nuclear antigens in systemic sclerosis: Implications for disease pathogenesis

Sophie I. E. Liem, Sam Neppelenbroek, Cynthia M. Fehres, Corrie Wortel, Rene E. M. Toes, Tom W. J. Huizinga, Hans U. Scherer, Jeska K. de Vries-Bouwstra

Summary: A hallmark of disease pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc) is the presence of autoreactive B cell responses targeting nuclear proteins. Autoantibodies serve as diagnostic biomarkers in SSc and can help identify clinical phenotypes of the disease. Understanding the contribution of antinuclear autoantibodies and their underlying B cell response is crucial in the management and treatment of SSc.

A subset of antibodies targeting citrullinated proteins confers protection from rheumatoid arthritis

Yibo He, Changrong Ge, Alex Moreno-Giro, Bingze Xu, Christian M. Beusch, Katalin Sandor, Jie Su, Lei Cheng, Erik Lonnblom, Christina Lundqvist, Linda M. Slot, Dongmei Tong, Vilma Urbonaviciute, Bibo Liang, Taotao Li, Gonzalo Fernandez Lahore, Mike Aoun, Vivianne Malmstrom, Theo Rispens, Patrik Ernfors, Camilla I. Svensson, Hans Ulrich Scherer, Rene E. M. Toes, Inger Gjertsson, Olov Ekwall, Roman A. Zubarev, Rikard Holmdahl

Summary: Although anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), their in vivo functions remain unclear. In this study, monoclonal ACPAs derived from RA patients were expressed in mice and their functions were analyzed. One of the antibodies, clone E4, showed a protective effect against antibody-induced arthritis in mice, suggesting therapeutic potential for ACPAs in RA.

Patterns of clinical joint inflammation in juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Summary: We studied the patterns of joint inflammation in JIA and found that joints with inflammation at disease onset tend to have recurrent episodes of inflammation during follow-up. This suggests that local factors may contribute to the occurrence of JIA flares.

Repair of joint damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis does not relate to previous suppression of inflammation: a subanalysis after 8 years treat-to-target in the BeSt-trial

Joy Ardjuna van der Pol, Guelsah Akdemir, Marianne van den Broek, Linda Dirven, Pit J. S. M. Kerstens, Willem F. Lems, Iris M. Markusse, Tom W. J. Huizinga, Cornelia F. Allaart

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether repair of erosions and joint space narrowing (JSN) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) occurs and whether clinical variables predict this. The eight-year follow-up data of the Best-study were analyzed, and patients with recent onset RA were randomly assigned to four treatment strategies. The results showed that repair of JSN and erosions was observed in 5.3% of the patients, but no significant associations were found with disease activity suppression or other predictors.

A robust nanoscale RP HPLC-MS approach for sensitive Fc proteoform profiling of IgG allotypes

Constantin Blochl, Christoph Gstottner, Thomas Senard, Eva Maria Stork, Hans Ulrich Scherer, Rene E. M. Toes, Manfred Wuhrer, Elena Dominguez-Vega

Summary: By using a nanoscale reversed-phase HPLC-MS workflow, the Fc proteoforms of IgG antibodies can be comprehensively characterized in an allotype- and subclass-specific manner, offering high sensitivity and comprehensive information.

Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion/Systolic Pulmonary Artery Pressure Ratio and Cardiorenal Syndrome Type 2 in the Systemic Sclerosis EUSTAR Cohort

Summary: The study found that the TAPSE/sPAP ratio is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and a TAPSE/sPAP ratio <= 0.32 mm/mm Hg and eGFR <60 mL/min per 1.73 m(2) are prognostic factors for all-cause mortality.

Autoreactive B cells in rheumatoid arthritis include mainly activated CXCR3+memory B cells and plasmablasts

Sanne Reijm, Joanneke C. Kwekkeboom, Nienke J. Blomberg, Jolien Suurmond, Diane van der Woude, Rene E. M. Toes, Hans U. Scherer

Summary: This study visualizes the B cell response against posttranslational modification antigens in autoimmune diseases. The results demonstrate extensive cross-reactivity of B cells against different antigens and the presence of PTM-directed plasmablasts in patients. The expression of CXCR3 suggests the potential involvement of chemokines in this process.

Anti-topoisomerase, but not anti-centromere B cell responses in systemic sclerosis display active, Ig-secreting cells associated with lung fibrosis

Corrie M. Wortel, Sophie I. E. Liem, Nina M. van Leeuwen, Maaike Boonstra, Cynthia M. Fehres, Lauran Stoeger, Tom W. J. Huizinga, Rene E. M. Toes, Jeska De Vries-Bouwstra, Hans U. Scherer

Summary: This study investigates the autoreactive B cell responses in ATA-positive and ACA-positive SSc patients. The results show that ATA-positive patients exhibit a more active B cell response, which is associated with the presence and severity of ILD. This may explain the differential responsiveness to B cell depleting therapy.

Summary: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) occurs in different ethnic populations worldwide. This study revealed that anti-modified protein antibodies (AMPA) can be detected in RA patients across different continents and ethnicities, suggesting a common pathway involved in AMPA development. However, differences in AMPA levels and associated factors were observed among the different populations.
