Cell Death Dis 2024; 15:481. [PMID: 38965216 PMCID: PMC11224426 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-024-06807-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
Autoimmune diseases commonly affect various systems, but their etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear. Currently, increasing research has highlighted the role of ferroptosis in immune regulation, with immune cells being a crucial component of the body's immune system. This review provides an overview and discusses the relationship between ferroptosis, programmed cell death in immune cells, and autoimmune diseases. Additionally, it summarizes the role of various key targets of ferroptosis, such as GPX4 and TFR, in immune cell immune responses. Furthermore, the release of multiple molecules, including damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), following cell death by ferroptosis, is examined, as these molecules further influence the differentiation and function of immune cells, thereby affecting the occurrence and progression of autoimmune diseases. Moreover, immune cells secrete immune factors or their metabolites, which also impact the occurrence of ferroptosis in target organs and tissues involved in autoimmune diseases. Iron chelators, chloroquine and its derivatives, antioxidants, chloroquine derivatives, and calreticulin have been demonstrated to be effective in animal studies for certain autoimmune diseases, exerting anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. Finally, a brief summary and future perspectives on the research of autoimmune diseases are provided, aiming to guide disease treatment strategies.

Nakai alleviates DSS-induced ulcerative colitis by promoting restitution, restoring barrier function, and modulating IL-17/Notch1/FoxP3 pathway in intestinal cells. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 328:118131. [PMID: 38565408 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Sarcandra glabra is officially named Zhong Jie Feng as a traditional medicine. In the nationality of Yao and Zhuang, it has been used to treat digestive diseases like stomachache and dysentery. Similarly, in Dai nationality, it has been used to treat intestinal diseases like gastric ulcers. However, the effect and mechanism of S. glabra on experimental ulcerative colitis (UC) are known. AIM OF STUDY The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of S. glabra on experimental UC. MATERIALS AND METHODS The chemical components in the water extract of S. glabra (ZJF) were analyzed by UPLC-MS/MS method. The HCoEpiC cell line was used to assess the promotive effect on intestinal proliferation and restitution. RAW264.7 cells were used to assess the in vitro anti-inflammatory effect of ZJF. The 3% DSS-induced colitis model was used to evaluate the in vivo effect of ZJF (4.5 g/kg and 9.0 g/kg). Mesalazine (0.5 g/kg) was used as the positive drug. ELISA, RT-qPCR, Western blot, and multiplex immunohistochemical experiments were used to test gene levels in the colon tissue. The H&E staining method was used to monitor the pathological changes of colon tissue. TUNEL assay kit was used to detect apoptosis of epithelial colonic cells. RESULTS ZJF could alleviate the DSS-caused colitis in colon tissues, showing a comparative effect to that of the positive drug mesalazine. Mechanism study indicated that ZJF could promote normal colonic HCoEpiC cell proliferation and restitution, inhibit overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, restore the M1/M2 ratio, decrease epithelial colonic cell apoptosis, rescue tight junction protein levels, and modulate IL-17/Notch1/FoxP3 pathway to treat experimental UC. CONCLUSION Our results indicated that S. glabra can promote intestinal cell restitution, balance immune response, and modulate IL-17/Notch1/FoxP3 pathway to treat experimental UC.

Two Decades of Publications in Journals Dedicated to Autoimmunity: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Autoimmunity Field from 2004 to 2023. Clin Exp Med 2024; 24:117. [PMID: 38833019 DOI: 10.1007/s10238-024-01369-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
To carry out an in-depth analysis of the scientific research on autoimmunity, we performed the first bibliometric analysis focusing on publications in journals dedicated to autoimmunity (JDTA) indexed by science citation index during the period 2004-2023. Using bibliometric analysis, we quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed the country, institution, author, reference and keywords information of publications in JDTA, so as to understand the quantity, publication pattern and publication characteristics of these publications. The co-occurrence networks, clustering map and timeline map were created by CiteSpace and VOSviewer software to visualize the results. The CiteSpace was also used to analyze the strongest citation burst of keywords, which could describe the frequency, intensity and time period of high-frequency keywords, and indicate the research hotspots in the field. A total of 5 710 publications were analyzed, and their annual distribution number was basically stable from 2004 to 2023, fluctuating around 300. The United States and Italy led the way in terms of the number of publications, followed by France and China. For international cooperation, the developed countries represented by the United States cooperate more closely, but the cooperation was localized, reflecting that there was no unified model of autoimmunity among countries. UDICE-French Research Universities had the greatest number of publications. Subsequently, the number of publications decreased slowly with the ranking, and the gradient was not large. Eric Gershwin and Yehuda Shoenfeld stood out among the authors. They had an excellent academic reputation and great influence in the field of autoimmunity. The results of keyword analysis showed that JDTA publications mainly studied a variety of autoimmune diseases, especially SLE and RA. At the same time, JDTA publications also paid special attention to the research of cell function, autoantibody expression, animal experiments, disease activity, pathogenesis and treatment. This study is the first to analyze the publications in JDTA from multiple indicators by bibliometrics, thus providing new insights into the research hotspots and development trends in the field of autoimmunity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Exposure to many synthetic chemicals has been linked to a variety of adverse human health effects, including autoimmune diseases. In this scoping review, we summarize recent evidence detailing the effects of synthetic environmental chemicals on autoimmune diseases and highlight current research gaps and recommendations for future studies. RECENT FINDINGS We identified 68 recent publications related to environmental chemical exposures and autoimmune diseases. Most studies evaluated exposure to persistent environmental chemicals and autoimmune conditions including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), and ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease. Results of recent original research studies were mixed, and available data for some exposure-outcome associations were particularly limited. PFAS and autoimmune inflammatory bowel diseases (UC and CD) and pesticides and RA appeared to be the most frequently studied exposure-outcome associations among recent publications, despite a historical research focus on solvents. Recent studies have provided additional evidence for the associations of exposure to synthetic chemicals with certain autoimmune conditions. However, impacts on other autoimmune outcomes, particularly less prevalent conditions, remain unclear. Owing to the ubiquitous nature of many of these exposures and their potential impacts on autoimmune risk, additional studies are needed to better evaluate these relationships, particularly for understudied autoimmune conditions. Future research should include larger longitudinal studies and studies among more diverse populations to elucidate the temporal relationships between exposure-outcome pairs and to identify potential population subgroups that may be more adversely impacted by immune modulation caused by exposure to these chemicals.

Abstract
The concept of inflammation encompasses beneficial and detrimental aspects, which are referred to as infectious and sterile inflammations, respectively. Infectious inflammation plays a crucial role in host defense, whereas sterile inflammation encompasses allergic, autoimmune, and lifestyle-related diseases, leading to detrimental effects. Dendritic cells and macrophages, both of which are representative mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs), are essential for initiating immune responses, suggesting that the regulation of MNPs limits excessive inflammation. In this context, dietary components with immunomodulatory properties have been identified. Among them, soybean-derived compounds, including isoflavones, saponins, flavonoids, and bioactive peptides, act directly on MNPs to fine-tune immune responses. Notably, some soybean-derived compounds have demonstrated the ability to alleviate the symptom of allergy and autoimmunity in mouse models. In this review, we introduce and summarize the roles of soybean-derived compounds on MNP-mediated inflammatory responses. Understanding the mechanism by which soybean-derived molecules regulate MNPs could provide valuable insights for designing safe immunomodulators.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver cancer is one of the most common cancers in China. To understand the basic death situation and disease burden change trend, we analyze the death information of liver cancer among Chinese residents from 2008 to 2021. METHODS Data was collected from the Cause-of-Death Surveillance dataset of the National Cause-of-Death Surveillance System from 2008 to 2021. Excel 2016 was used for data entry and to calculate the Crude Mortality Rate (CMR), Age-Standardized Mortality Rate (ASMR), Potential Years of Life Lost (PYLL), and Potential Years of Life Lost Rate (PYLLR). SPSS 25.0 was used to statistically analyze CMR, ASMR, PYLL, and other indicators. Annual percent change (APC) and average APC(AAPC) was used for trend analysis and tested by t tests. Joinpoint 4.9.1.0 was used to calculate APC and AAPC. Age-Period-Cohort model was used to assess the effects of age, period, and birth cohort on liver cancer mortality. RESULTS From 2008 to 2021, 491,701 liver cancer deaths were reported in the National Disease Surveillance Points System. The ASMR of liver cancer in Chinese residents decreased from 27.58/100,000 in 2008 to 17.95/100,000 in 2021 at an average annual rate of 3.40% (t = -5.10, P < 0.001). The mortality rate was higher in males than in females (all P < 0.001) and higher in rural areas than in urban areas (all P < 0.001). The mortality rate of liver cancer varied significantly among eastern, central, and western China (all P < 0.001). The PYLLR of liver cancer in Chinese residents decreased from 2.89‰ in 2008 to 2.06‰ in 2021 at an average annual rate of 2.40% (t = -5.10, P < 0.001). Males had a lower PYLLR than females, decreasing at average annual rates of 2.20% (t = -5.40, P < 0.001) and 2.90% (t = -8.40, P < 0.001), respectively. Urban areas had a lower PYLLR than rural areas, decreasing at average annual rate of 3.30% (t = -4.00, P < 0.001) and 2.50% (t = -11.60, P < 0.001), respectively. Eastern, central, and western China decreased at average annual rates of 3.40%, 2.30%, and 2.10%, respectively (t = -7.80, -3.60, -7.10, P < 0.001 for all). The risk of China liver cancer mortality increased with age, decreased with birth cohort. CONCLUSIONS The mortality and disease burdens of liver cancer in China decreased yearly and were higher in males and in people living in rural areas, with significant differences among those living in eastern, central, and western China.

Abstract
Fatty acid metabolism, particularly fatty acid synthesis, is a very important cellular physiological process in which nutrients are used for energy storage and biofilm synthesis. As a key enzyme in the fatty acid metabolism, fatty acid synthase (FASN) is receiving increasing attention. Although previous studies on FASN have mainly focused on various malignancies, many studies have recently reported that FASN regulates the survival, differentiation, and function of various immune cells, and subsequently participates in the occurrence and development of immune-related diseases. However, few studies to date systematically summarized the function and molecular mechanisms of FASN in immune cell biology and related diseases. In this review, we discuss the regulatory effect of FASN on immune cells, and the progress in research on the implications of FASN in immune-related diseases. Understanding the function of FASN in immune cell biology and related diseases can offer insights into novel treatment strategies for clinical diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hernias, particularly inguinal, femoral, and abdominal, present a global health challenge. While the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study offers insights, systematic analyses of hernias remain limited. This research utilizes the GBD dataset to explore hernia implications, combining current statistics with 2030 projections and frontier analysis. METHODS We analyzed data from the 2019 GBD Study, focusing on hernia-related metrics: prevalence, incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across 204 countries, grouped into 21 GBD regions by the SDI (SDI). Data analysis incorporated relative change calculations, Annual Percentage Change (APC), Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC), and Joinpoint Regression Analysis. The study also employed frontier analysis and the Bayesian Age-Period-Cohort model for trend prediction up to 2030. Analyses utilized R version 4.2.3. RESULTS From 1990 to 2019, global hernia cases surged by 36%, reaching over 32.5 million, even as age-standardized rates declined. A similar pattern was seen in mortality and DALYs, with absolute figures rising but age-standardized rates decreasing. Gender data between 1990 and 2020 showed consistent male dominance in hernia prevalence, even as rates for both genders fell. Regionally, Andean Latin America had the highest prevalence, with Qatar and Bulgaria noting significant increases and decreases, respectively. Frontier analyses across 204 countries linked higher SDIs with reduced hernia prevalence. Yet, some high SDI countries, like Qatar and the UK, deviated unexpectedly. Predictions up to 2030 anticipate increasing hernia prevalence, predominantly in males, while death rates are expected to decline. DALYs, after declining, are stabilizing. CONCLUSIONS Our analysis reveals a complex interplay between socio-demographic factors and hernia trends, emphasizing the need for targeted healthcare interventions. Despite advancements, vigilance and continuous research are essential for optimal hernia management globally.

Abstract
Introduction Risk of adverse effects and exacerbation in autoimmune neurological conditions (ANC)are frequently cited reasons for COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. This study evaluates the ANC safety of COVID-19 vaccines in the real world. Methods Electronic databases were searched to identify studies reporting the use of the COVID-19 vaccine in ANC. We selected studies that provided data on adverse effects and worsening conditions related to ANC after vaccination. The pooled incidence rates for various adverse effects, stratified for the disease category, dosage, and type of vaccine, were estimated. Results Twenty-eight studies (31 vaccination cohorts) were included. The pooled incidence rate of general adverse events was 0.35 (95%CI, 0.27-0.43, I2 = 100 %). The pooled incidence rates of local injection reaction, fatigue, weakness, myalgia, fever, headache, and chills were 0.27 (0.18-0.36, I2 = 98 %), 0.16(0.11-0.21, I2 = 93 %), 0.15(0.00-0.31, I2 = 97 %), 0.13(0.08-0.19, I2 = 97 %), 0.11(0.07-0.15, I2 = 95 %), 0.11(0.07-0.16, I2 = 97 %), and 0.09 (0.03-0.16, I2 = 96 %), respectively. The pooled incidence rate of exacerbation adverse events was 0.05 (95%CI, 0.04-0.07, I2 = 84 %). Conclusion According to available evidence, the administration of COVID-19 vaccines in individuals with autoimmune neurological disorders seems well-tolerated, with few reports of adverse events. Furthermore, exacerbation of autoimmune neurological conditions following vaccination appears to be infrequent.

Abstract
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic autoimmune disease with high incidence rate and high disability rate. One of the top complications is cancer, especially lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the molecular mechanisms linking RA and LUAD are still not clear. Therefore, in this study, we tried to identify the shared genetic signatures and local immune microenvironment between RA and LUAD and construct a clinical model for survival prediction. Methods: We obtained gene expression profiles and clinical information of patients with RA and LUAD from GEO and TCGA datasets. We performed differential analysis and Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) to discover the shared genes between RA and LUAD. Then, COX regression and LASSO analysis were employed to figure out genes significantly associated with survival. qRT-PCR and Western blot were utilized to validate the expression level of candidate genes. For clinical application, we constructed a nomogram, and also explored the value of RALUADS in characterizing immune infiltration features by CIBERSORT and xCell. Finally, responses to different drug therapy were predicted according to different RALUADS. Results: Our analysis identified two gene sets from differentially expressed genes and WGCNA gene modules of RA and LUAD. Filtered by survival analysis, three most significant shared genes were selected, CCN6, CDCA4 and ERLIN1, which were all upregulated in tumors and associated with poor prognosis. The three genes constituted RA and LUAD score (RALUADS). Our results demonstrated that RALUADS was higher in tumor patients and predicted poor prognosis in LUAD patients. Clinical nomogram combining RALUADS and other clinicopathological parameters had superior performance in survival prediction (AUC = 0.722). We further explored tumor immune microenvironment (TME) affected by RALUADS and observed RALUADS was closely related to the sensitivity of multiple immune blockades, chemotherapy and targeted drugs. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that there are shared physiopathologic processes and molecular profiles between RA and LUAD. RALUADS represents an excellent prognosis predictor and immune-related biomarker, which can be applied to select potential effective drugs and for LUAD patients with RA.

Worsening of imiquimod-induced psoriasiform inflammation in mice by environmental pollutant, di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate through dysregulation in IL-17A and Nrf2/iNOS signaling in peripheral myeloid and CD4 + T cells. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 126:111293. [PMID: 38056199 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.111293] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
Psoriasis is a devastating autoimmune illness resulting from excessive keratinocyte growth and leukocyte infiltration into the dermis/epidermis. In the pathogenesis of psoriasis, different immune cells such as myeloid cells and CD4 + T cells play a key role. Th17/Th1 immune responses and oxidant-antioxidant responses are critical in regulation of psoriatic inflammation. Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is one of the well-known plasticizers and has widespread use worldwide. DEHP exposure through ingestion may produce harmful effects on the skin through systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, which may modify psoriatic inflammation. However, the effect of oral DEHP exposure on inflammatory cytokines and Nrf2/iNOS signaling in myeloid cells and CD4 + T cells in the context of psoriatic inflammation has not been investigated earlier. Therefore, this study explored the effect of DEHP on systemic inflammation in myeloid cells (IL-6, IL-17A, IL-23), Th17 (p-STAT3, IL-17A, IL-23R, TNF-α), Th1 (IFN-γ), Treg (Foxp3, IL-10), and Nrf2/iNOS signaling in imiquimod (IMQ)-induced mouse model of psoriasis-like inflammation. Our study showed increased Th17 signaling in imiquimod model which was further aggravated by DEHP exposure. Further, Nrf2 and iNOS signaling were also elevated in IMQ model where DEHP exposure further increased iNOS expression but did not modify the Nrf2 expression. Most importantly, IL-17A levels were also elevated in myeloid cells along with IL-6 which were further elevated by DEHP exposure. Overall, this study shows that IL-17A signaling is upregulated, whereas there is deficiency of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling by DEHP exposure in mice with psoriasiform inflammation. These observations suggest that DEHP aggravates IL-17A-mediated signaling both in CD4 + T cells as well as myeloid cells which is linked to exacerbation of IMQ-induced psoriatic inflammation in mice. Strategies that counteract the effect of DEHP exposure in the context of psoriatic inflammation through downregulation of IL-17A may be fruitful.

Global, regional, and national burdens of hypertensive heart disease from 1990 to 2019 :A multilevel analysis based on the global burden of Disease Study 2019. Heliyon 2023; 9:e22671. [PMID: 38213586 PMCID: PMC10782162 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim This study aimed to describe the prevalence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) of hypertensive heart disease (HHD) at the global, regional, and national levels and analyze epidemiological trends. Method We extracted global estimates of prevalence, deaths, and DALYs related to HHD in 204 countries and regions from the 2019 Global Burden of Diseases Study. Average annual percent change (AAPC) was calculated to represent temporal trends. Joinpoint regression models were used to analyze time trends from 1990 to 2019. Finally, the decomposition analysis showed the driving factors of burden changes. Results From 1990 to 2019, the global prevalence of HHD cases increased by 138 %, reaching 18,598,025 cases (95 % uncertainty interval [UI]: 13,544,365-24,898,411). DALYs also rose by 154 %, reaching 21,508,002 (95 % UI, 16,400,051-23,899,879). The death rate increased to 14.95 (95 % UI, 11.11-16.52) per 100,000 people. Of the five sociodemographic index (SDI) regions, the prevalence rate related to HHD was the highest in the high-middle SDI region. In contrast, the death and DALY rate related to HHD were the highest in the middle SDI region. In other regions, the prevalence rate was the highest in East Asia (548.87 per 100,000 people; 95 % UI, 395.40-747.83), and the death rate was the highest in Central Europe (42.64 per 100,000 people; 95 % UI, 30.58-49.38). At the national level, the Cook Islands had the highest prevalence rate for HHD (703.08 per 100,000 people; 95 % UI, 532.87-920.72), Bulgaria had the highest death rate (75.08 per 100,000 people; 95 % UI, 46.38-92.81), and Afghanistan had the highest DALY rate (1374.12 per 100,000 people; 95 % UI, 467.17-2020.70). High body mass index, a diet high in sodium, alcohol use, lead exposure, high temperature, and low temperature were identified as risk factors for death and DALYs related to HHD in 2019. Aging and population growth were the major drivers of prevalence, death, and DALYs. Finally, over the past 30 years, the global age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) of HHD has significantly risen (AAPC = 0.21 %, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.17-0.24; P < 0.001), while the age-standardized deaths rate (ASDR) has shown significant declining trends (AAPC = -0.86 %, 95 % CI: 1.00 to -0.71; P < 0.001), and age-standardized DALY rates (AAPC = -1.08 %, 95 % CI: 1.23 to -0.93; P < 0.001). Conclusion Despite a significant decline in the global ASDR and age-standardized DALY rate of HHD over the past 30 years, the ASPR continues to rise. The burden of HHD is more heavily skewed towards non-high-income economies. Active prevention, control of risk factors, and improvement of medical protection levels to address the disease burden caused by population growth and aging are needed.

[PMID: 37972859 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2023.102124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
As a severe public health issue, hearing loss has caused an increasingly disease burden, especially in the elderly population. Hearing loss may inevitably induce asymmetric hearing, which makes it difficult for elderly individuals to locate sound sources, therefore resulting in increased postural instability and falling risk. To emphasize the public health emergence of hearing loss, we investigated the temporal trend of prevalence of hearing loss over the last 30 years and further predicted its changes in the next 20 years, decomposed the trend according to demographic factors and epidemiological changes, and quantified the cross-country healthy inequalities, using the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. In 2019, there were more than 140 million cases of hearing loss worldwide, a 93.89% increase from 70 million cases in 1990. The age-standardized rate (ASR) also increased with an estimated annual percentage change of 0.08% per year. Population growth and aging are the major drivers contributing to the changes, accounting for 60.83% and 35.35%. Of note, the contribution of aging varies showing a gradual increasing trend with sociodemographic index (SDI) elevating. Also notable, there were significant health inequalities across 204 countries and territories, with slope index of inequality rising over time. Projection of the global burden of hearing loss from 2020 to 2040 indicated progressive increases in both case number and ASR. These reflect the heavy disease burden of hearing loss that needed more targeted and efficient strategies in its prevention and management.

Age-standardized incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates of autoimmune diseases in women of childbearing age from 1990 to 2019. Autoimmun Rev 2023; 22:103450. [PMID: 37741529 DOI: 10.1016/j.autrev.2023.103450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/25/2023]
Abstract
AIM To estimate the age-standardized incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates of autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), multiple sclerosis (MS), type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), asthma, and psoriasis in women of childbearing age from 1990 to 2019, and to further analyze their changing trends, at global, regional, and national levels. METHODS Women of childbearing age was defined as 15-49 years old. The estimates and 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs) for case number of RA, IBD, MS, T1DM, asthma and psoriasis in seven age groups (15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49 years) were extracted from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. Age standardization by direct method was adopted to estimate the age-standardized incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates of these autoimmune diseases in women of childbearing age. Joinpoint regression analysis was utilized to analyze the changing trends of estimated age-standardized incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates from 1990 to 2019 by calculating the average annual percentage change (AAPC) and its 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS In 2019, the estimated global age-standardized incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates of RA in women of childbearing age was 17.13 (95% UI: 12.39 to 22.60), 215.86 (95% UI: 179.04 to 259.70), and 0.06 (95% UI: 0.04 to 0.08); of IBD was 5.85 (95% UI: 4.72 to 7.12), 63.54 (95% UI: 53.50 to 74.37), and 0.11 (95% UI: 0.08 to 0.13); of MS was 1.63 (95% UI: 1.05 to 2.28), 28.74 (95% UI: 23.80 to 34.46), and 0.17 (95% UI: 0.14 to 0.27); of T1DM was 6.22 (95% UI: 2.75 to 11.50), 290.51 (95% UI: 221.39 to 370.19), and 0.63 (95% UI: 0.48 to 0.78); of asthma was 291.14 (95% UI: 157.06 to 468.78), 2796.25 (95%UI: 1987.07 to 3842.97), and 1.42 (95% UI: 1.12 to 1.75), respectively. The estimated global age-standardized incidence and prevalence rates of psoriasis in women of childbearing age was 58.68 (95% UI: 51.04 to 66.85) and 477.20 (95% UI: 440.30 to 515.76). Highest disease burden generally exists in Region of the Americas and European Region. From 1990 to 2019, the estimated global age-standardized incidence and prevalence rates of RA (AAPC: 0.18, 95% CI: 0.11 to 0.24; AAPC: 0.24, 95% CI: 0.18 to 0.30) and T1DM (AAPC: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.40 to 1.54; AAPC: 0.83, 95% CI: 0.79 to 0.88) in women of childbearing age showed significantly increasing trends whereas those of IBD (AAPC: -0.76, 95% CI: -0.80 to -0.73; AAPC: -0.65, 95% CI: -0.70 to -0.60), MS (AAPC: -0.20, 95% CI: -0.23 to -0.16; AAPC: -0.25, 95% CI: -0.26 to -0.23), asthma (AAPC: -0.53, 95% CI: -0.60 to -0.47; AAPC: -0.74, 95% CI: -0.81 to -0.68), and psoriasis (AAPC: -0.83, 95% CI: -0.85 to -0.82; AAPC: -0.99, 95% CI: -1.02 to -0.96) showed significantly decreasing trends. Favorably, the estimated global age-standardized mortality rate of RA (AAPC: -1.32, 95% CI: -1.63 to -1.01), IBD (AAPC: -0.95, 95% CI: -1.06 to -0.84), MS (AAPC: -0.96, 95% CI: -1.12 to -0.80), T1DM (AAPC: -1.05, 95% CI: -1.21 to -0.89), and asthma (AAPC: -2.27, 95% CI: -2.34 to -2.19) in women of childbearing age all declined. The changing trends of estimated age-standardized incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates varied significantly across 204 countries and territories. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides an accurate estimation on the age-standardization of disease indicators of autoimmune diseases in women of childbearing age. There are remarkable disparities in the incidence, prevalence, and mortality burden related to autoimmune diseases in women of childbearing age, as well as their changing trends across the world, suggesting that each individual government should establish flexible health policies and make reasonable source allocation to address different needs for autoimmune diseases in this population.

Autoimmun Rev 2023; 22:103407. [PMID: 37572826 DOI: 10.1016/j.autrev.2023.103407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023]
Abstract
AIM To analyze the global incidence trends for four autoimmune diseases (ADs) including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), multiple sclerosis (MS) and psoriasis from 1990 to 2019, and further predict their changes to 2040 at global, regional, and national levels. METHODS The estimates and 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs) for case number and agestandardized incidence rate (ASIR) of RA, IBD, MS and psoriasis were derived from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. Estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was utilized to quantify the global incidence trends for RA, IBD, MS and psoriasis from 1990 to 2019. Furthermore, a log-linear age-period-cohort model was adopted to predict the new case number and incidence rates for these four ADs through 2040. RESULTS From 1990 to 2019, the global ASIR rose significantly for RA (EAPC = 0.30%, 95% CI: 0.26 to 0.34) whereas declined significantly for IBD (EAPC = -0.60%, 95% CI: -0.72 to - 0.48), MS (EAPC = -0.19%, 95% CI: -0.24 to -0.13) and psoriasis (EAPC = -0.77%, 95% CI: -0.78 to -0.76). From 2020 to 2040, the global ASIR of RA, IBD, and psoriasis was predicted to decrease whereas the global ASIR of MS was predicted to increase, with continuous increasing case number of all these diseases. Furthermore, the predicted incidence trends of these four ADs varied significantly across 195 countries and territories, with a prominent higher burden in high-income North America and Western Europe. CONCLUSIONS There are strong heterogeneities in the global incidence trends (1990-2019) and predicted changes (2020-2040) of ADs across the world, highlighting prominent challenges in the control of ADs, including both growing case number and distributive disparities of these diseases worldwide, which may be instructive for better public health policy establishment and healthcare resource allocation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Drug-induced liver injury remains a critical issue to hinder clinical application of Tripterygium Glycosides Tablets (TGTs) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) therapy. Combination of TGTs with Total Glucosides of Peony (TGP) may be the most common therapeutic strategy for enhancing TGTs' efficacy and reducing its toxicity. Herein, we aimed to investigate the efficacy-enhancing and toxicity-reducing properties and mechanisms of TGT-TGP combination. METHODS Both TGT-induced acute and chronic liver injury animal models were established. ELISA, transmission electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, western blot and quantitative PCR were performed to determine the efficacy, toxicity and regulatory mechanisms of TGT-TGP combination. RESULTS The compatibility of TGP significantly reduced the abnormal serum ALT and AST levels, and improved liver histopathological changes in both acute and chronic DILI animal models induced by TGTs, with the most effective dosage of TGP-M (medium-dose TGP, 450 mg/kg). Additionally, TGP and TGT synergistically alleviated joint swelling and improved the elevation of serum inflammatory factors, in line with the positive changes in joint histopathological features of collagen induced arthritis mice, with the same effective dosage of TGP-M following 5 weeks' drug combination treatment. Mechanically, TGT significantly increased the number of autophagosomes and the expression of LC3II protein while reducing p62 protein expression in the liver tissues, which were significantly reversed by the compatibility with TGP, similar to the findings based on the inflamed joint tissues. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest an enhanced efficacy with reduced toxicity of TGT by the compatibility with TGP for RA therapy, possibly through regulating various autophagy-related proteins.
