Research highlight📖
“…colonizing the gut of autoimmune-prone mice with E. gallinarum led to dissemination of living E. gallinarum to the lymph nodes, liver, and spleen, accompanied by ⬆️TH17 cells at these sites and production of anti-RNA #autoantibodies. “
Trouble at the border: An invading gut bacterium can break tolerance to self-RNA
Mouse anti-RNA antibodies triggered by gut E. gallinarum correlate with self-RNA autoantibodies and lupus severity in humans.

Have you ever wondered how pathobionts contribute to autoimmunity? In this week's issue of Science Translational Medicine @science.org we elucidate the mechanism how E.gallinarum influences systemic immune responses and aggravates autoimmunity.. #ImmunoSky #Microbiome

Translocating gut pathobiont Enterococcus gallinarum induces TH17 and IgG3 anti-RNA–directed autoimmunity in mouse and human
Translocating pathobiont Enterococcus gallinarum promotes human TH17 and anti-RNA IgG3 autoantibody responses in patients with autoimmune disease.
