Article Clinical Neurology

Activating autoantibodies against G protein-coupled receptors in narcolepsy type 1

Maija Orjatsalo, Eemil Partinen, Gerd Wallukat, Anniina Alakuijala, Markku Partinen

Summary: The study found that patients with narcolepsy type 1 carry autoimmune antibodies that may be related to symptoms such as cataplexy, hallucinations, pain, and autonomic dysfunction. Positive autoantibodies against M2 muscarinic receptors, nociception receptors, and beta 2 adrenergic receptors may exacerbate the progression of the disease.

Comment on Arnold et al. (2021): CP in the MCA?

Daniel H. Sandweiss, Kirk A. Maasch, Heather A. Landazuri, Elizabeth Leclerc

Summary: The study suggests that the Central Pacific flavor of El Nino may contribute to the aridity observed in the highland Titicaca Basin of the South Central Andes during the Medieval Climate Anomaly. There is an urgent need for a longer record of CP presence and frequency to better understand this phenomenon.

Aspen recovery in northern Yellowstone: A comment on Brice et al. (2021)

Luke E. Painter, Robert L. Beschta, William J. Ripple

Summary: The recruitment of aspen saplings increased as elk browsing decreased after the reintroduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park in 1995-96. The results support the idea of a trophic cascade benefiting aspen, countering claims that recent aspen recovery has been exaggerated.

Platelet P-selectin initiates cross-presentation and dendritic cell differentiation in blood monocytes by Han et al. (vol 6, eaaz1580, 2020)

Patrick Han, Douglas Hanlon, Najla Arshad, Jung Seok Lee, Kazuki Tatsuno, Eve Robinson, Renata Filler, Olga Sobolev, Christine Cote, Felix Rivera-Molina, Derek Toomre, Tarek Fahmy, Richard Edelson

Summary: Platelets can activate a cross-presentation program in monocytes, leading to rapid maturation into physiological DCs. These DCs are more effective in generating tumor-specific T cell immunity than cytokine-derived DCs. Platelets mediate a cytokine-independent, physiologic maturation of DC, suggesting a novel strategy for DC-based immunotherapies.

Facets of Optimism: Comment on Scheier et al. (2021)

Tyler J. VanderWeele, Laura D. Kubzansky

Summary: The question of whether optimism and pessimism are bipolar or represent two separate dimensions is a conceptual rather than an empirical issue. The analysis by Scheier et al. (2021) can be helpful in guiding the development of interventions as they suggest.

Autoantibodies from Patients with Scleroderma Renal Crisis Promote PAR-1 Receptor Activation and IL-6 Production in Endothelial Cells

Michele Simon, Christian Luecht, Isa Hosp, Hongfan Zhao, Dashan Wu, Harald Heidecke, Janusz Witowski, Klemens Budde, Gabriela Riemekasten, Rusan Catar

Summary: Autoantibodies against PAR-1 found in patients with SSc and SRC induce IL-6 production by endothelial cells through signaling pathways controlled by the AP-1 transcription factor. These observations offer a greater understanding of adverse endothelial cell responses to autoantibodies present in patients with SRC.

Autoimmune activation and hypersensitization of the AT1 and ETA receptors contributes to vascular injury in scleroderma renal crisis

Bjoern Hegner, Tobias Kretzschmar, Nan Zhu, Gunnar Kleinau, Hongfan Zhao, Julian Kamhieh-Milz, Julia Hilger, Ralf Schindler, Patrick Scheerer, Gabriela Riemekasten, Aurelie Philippe, Rusan Catar

Summary: This study provides experimental evidence that activating autoantibodies may contribute to scleroderma renal crisis (SRC). This effect is likely related to direct receptor stimulation and additional allosteric effects. Novel therapies targeting autoimmune hyperactivation of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT(1)R) and the endothelin-1 type A receptor (ETAR) may improve outcomes in severe cases of SRC.

Cancer in Systemic Sclerosis: Analysis of Antibodies Against Components of the Th/To Complex

Christopher A. Mecoli, Brittany L. Adler, Qingyuan Yang, Laura K. Hummers, Antony Rosen, Livia Casciola-Rosen, Ami A. Shah

Summary: This study aimed to describe the prevalence and clinical characteristics of autoantibodies against components of the Th/To complex in SSc patients and determine if they are associated with cancer. Patients with these antibodies showed a clinical phenotype of limited cutaneous disease and pulmonary involvement, and were less likely to develop cancer within 2 years of SSc onset. The findings suggest that Th/To autoantibodies may have a protective effect against contemporaneous cancer.

Reply to comment on Malkoti et al. (2021) by Haney and Nakahara

Arjun Datta

Summary: The errors in the surface wave Green's tensor shown by Malkoti et al. have been acknowledged, as pointed out in the comment by Haney and Nakahara. The H/V amplitude ratio calculations were recomputed using expressions for Love and Rayleigh wave Green's tensors valid in the near-field provided by Haney and Nakahara. The differences due to the use of corrected Green's tensors only appear when the receivers are placed close to the edges of the modeling domain.

Reply to formal comment on Griffiths et al. (2017) submitted by Gajewski (2020)

Katherine Griffiths, Neal Michelutti, Marianne S. V. Douglas, John P. Smol

Summary: Gajewski offers criticisms on the study by Griffiths et al. (2017), especially regarding the classification scheme of microclimates used and the value of observational evidence. The study sites were visited multiple times via aerial surveys and ground observations, supporting the microclimate classification scheme. Gajewski's claims on climate, catchment characteristics, and ice melting properties were refuted by veteran Arctic scientists with long-term field experience.

How network size strongly determines trophic specialisation: A technical comment on Luna et al. (2022)

Chris Brimacombe, Korryn Bodner, Marie-Josee Fortin

Summary: Luna et al. (2022) concluded that the environment plays a role in explaining specialisation in open plant-pollinator networks. However, when reproducing their study, we found that network size alone explains most of the variation in specialisation metrics. Thus, we question whether empirical network specialisation is driven by the environment.

Summary: This study utilized a structured design to identify predictive factors for response to tocilizumab in COVID-19 patients and aims to improve the design of future randomized trials. Lower levels of IL-6 and higher baseline values of PaO2/FiO(2) were found to predict a favorable response to tocilizumab.
