📖”Through a lineage-tracing approach, they detected conversion of synovial TH17 cells to CD44+ IFN-γ−IL-10− exTH17 cells, which are arthritogenic and cause joint inflammation independent of IL-17. “

#Th17 #arthritis
TH17 cells converted into exTH17 cells sustain rheumatoid-like IL-17–independent inflammatory arthritis
ExTH17 cells drive IL-17–independent chronic SKG arthritis in mice through up-regulation of CD44 and S1PR4 and cross-talk with FLS.

…identified loss-of-function variants in PLD4 in five patients with #SLE, linking disruption of this regulatory mechanism with systemic inflammation and #autoimmunity.”
PLD4 variants promote SLE via unchecked TLR activation - Nature Reviews Rheumatology
Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in PLD4, as identified in five patients with SLE, lead to Toll-like receptor-driven hyperactivation of type I interferon, immune cell expansion and autoimmunity.
