Abstract
Innate immune memory endows innate immune cells with antigen independent heightened responsiveness to subsequent challenges. The durability of this response can be mediated by inflammation induced epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) that are maintained through differentiation to mature immune progeny. Understanding the mechanisms and extent of trained immunity induction by pathogens and vaccines, such as BCG, in HSPC remains a critical area of exploration with important implications for health and disease. Here we review these concepts and present new analysis to highlight how inflammatory reprogramming of HSPC can potently alter immune tone, including to enhance specific anti-tumor responses. New findings in the field pave the way for novel HSPC targeting therapeutic strategies in cancer and other contexts of immune modulation. Future studies are expected to unravel diverse and extensive effects of infections, vaccines, microbiota, and sterile inflammation on hematopoietic progenitor cells and begin to illuminate the broad spectrum of immunologic tuning that can be established through altering HSPC phenotypes. The purpose of this review is to draw attention to emerging and speculative topics in this field where we posit that focused study of HSPC in the framework of trained immunity holds significant promise.

Abstract
Bacterial arthritis and osteomyelitis are usually acute diseases, which in this way differ from the often insidious course of nonbacterial osteomyelitis; however, there is often an overlap both in less acute courses of bacterial illnesses and also in nonbacterial osteitis. The overlapping clinical phenomena can be explained by similar pathophysiological processes. In bacteria-related illnesses the identification of the pathogen and empirical or targeted anti-infectious treatment are prioritized, whereas no triggering agent is known for nonbacterial diseases. The diagnostics are based on the exclusion of differential diagnoses, clinical scores and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An activity-adapted anti-inflammatory treatment is indicated.

Abstract
Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is histologically characterized by nonspecific osteitis. This inflammatory disorder, which lacks an infectious origin, typically presents with chronic pain and swelling at the affected site that can persist for months or even years. However, it is rare for CNO to affect the mandible. A 10-year-old girl presented with a primary complaint of pain in her left mandible. She had no significant medical or dental history. On examination, swelling was visible on the left buccal side, and imaging revealed radiolucent bone deterioration within the left mandible. This case report presents the radiological changes observed over a 12-year follow-up period. Variations in radiopacity, radiolucency, and periosteal reactions were noted periodically. This case highlights the radiological characteristics and findings that are crucial for the diagnosis of CNO, a condition for which no clear diagnostic criteria are currently available.

Abstract
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory bone disease predominantly affecting the metaphyses of long bones and is usually seen in children. Although CRMO is generally a pediatric disease, it may also occur in adults. This may result in a delay in the diagnosis of adult-onset CRMO. This report presents an adult-onset female patient who presented with left leg pain followed by swelling in the right knee. The patient was initially started on colchicine treatment, but, due to unresponsiveness in the follow-up the patient, the treatment was switched to a combination of methotrexate and prednisolone. A satisfactory clinical recovery was achieved with these drugs. CRMO could be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with bone pain and joint complaints. Considering that the disease progresses with clinical flare-ups and remission periods, it should be kept in mind that patients should be followed closely and treatment can be changed.

Abstract
Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is an autoinflammatory bone disorder mostly affecting children and adolescents. Although it is considered a rare disease, CNO is likely to be the single most common autoinflammatory bone disease in childhood, underdiagnosed and underreported due to a lack of awareness of the condition in both medics and patients and the absence of validated diagnostic criteria. The exact underlying pathogenesis of CNO remains unknown, making targeted treatment difficult. This issue is exacerbated by the lack of any randomised control trials, meaning that treatment strategies are based solely on retrospective reviews and case series. This review summarises the current concepts in pathophysiology, the clinical features that help differentiate important differential diagnoses, and an approach to investigating and managing children with CNO. Ultimately, the timely and thorough investigation of children and young people with CNO is vitally important to exclude important mimics and initiate appropriate management that can prevent the complications of persistent inflammatory bone disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the plasma levels and cell surface expression of two checkpoint molecules, TIM-3 (T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3) and PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1), in pediatric patients with chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO). METHODS Plasma samples of CNO patients were collected at diagnosis or during biologic agent treatment. Plasma levels of TIM-3 and PD-1 were measured using the sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method, and the expression of the two immune checkpoint molecules on the cell surface was analyzed by isolating peripheral blood mononuclear cells by density gradient centrifugation technique. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients with CNO (14 boys, 51.9%) and six healthy controls (3 boys, 50%) were enrolled in the study. There were no age differences between CNO patients and healthy controls (median age 14.5 vs. 13.5 years, respectively, p=0.762). Of the CNO patients, 18 were included at the time of diagnosis while 9 were receiving biologic treatment at enrollment. The median plasma PD-1 levels were significantly lower in the CNO group than in the healthy controls (p=0.011). However, no significant difference was found in the cellular expression of PD-1 and TIM-3 on CD3+CD4+ T cells in patients and healthy controls (p=0.083 and p=0.245, respectively). There was also no statistically significant difference in plasma TIM-3 levels of the patient and control groups (p=0.981). CONCLUSION CNO is an autoinflammatory disease, and overall, our results suggest that T cell exhaustion may not be significant in CNO. Further research is needed to find out whether the immune checkpoints are mainly associated with autoimmunity but not autoinflammation. Key Points • The median plasma PD-1 levels were significantly lower in the CNO group than in the healthy controls. • No significant difference was found in the cellular expression of PD-1 and TIM-3 on CD3+CD4+ T cells in patients and healthy controls. • Our results suggest that T cell exhaustion may not be significant in CNO pathogenesis.

Abstract
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a non-infectious, inflammatory disorder of the bones. CRMO typically affects children, with a predisposition to females. Bone-related pain is often felt in the metaphysis of long bones, particularly of the lower extremities, but it can also target other sites at varied time intervals. Patients are likely to complain of tenderness and swelling that may cause considerable disability and adversely impact quality of life. There are three main pathophysiological mechanisms that have been hypothesized to drive CRMO including imbalanced cytokine expression, increased inflammasome activation, and enhanced osteoclast differentiation. Therapies have been based on targeting and suppressing these key players in CRMO patients. The first step in management involves pain control. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should provide initial relief, albeit temporarily. It is imperative to initiate immunosuppressive medication that will help limit bone involvement and thereby prevent the development of fractures or leg-length discrepancies, for example. The purpose of this literature review is to study the pathophysiology of CRMO and carefully dissect the agents that have been previously employed in the management of CRMO patients. This could allow for the purposeful formulation of individualized care plans and improving the overall well-being of patients. The authors included a multitude of PubMed-indexed articles published from 2000 onwards in this review.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Although the concept of systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) is still very young, our knowledge about them is exponentially growing. In the current review, we aim to discuss novel SAIDs and autoinflammatory pathways discovered in the last couple of years. RECENT FINDINGS Advances in immunology and genetics have led to the discovery of new pathways involved in autoinflammation, as well as several new SAIDs, including retinal dystrophy, optic nerve edema, splenomegaly, anhidrosis, and migraine headache (ROSAH syndrome), vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked autoinflammatory somatic (VEXAS) syndrome, TBK1 deficiency, NEMO deleted exon 5 autoinflammatory syndrome (NDAS), and disabling pansclerotic morphea. Progress in immunobiology and genetics has also brought forth novel treatments for SAIDs. Personalized medicine has made significant progress in areas such as cytokine-targeted therapies and gene therapies. However, much work remains, especially in measuring and improving the quality of life in patients with SAIDs. SUMMARY In the current review, we discuss the novelties in the world of SAIDs, including mechanistic pathways of autoinflammation, pathogenesis, and treatment. We hope this review helps rheumatologists to gain an updated understanding of SAIDs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is an autoinflammatory bone disease that most commonly affects children and adolescents causing significant pain and damage to bones. The absence of diagnostic criteria and biomarkers, an incomplete understanding of the molecular pathophysiology, and lack of evidence from randomized and controlled trials make the diagnosis and care challenging. AREAS COVERED This review provides an overview of the clinical and epidemiological features of CNO and displays diagnostic challenges and how they can be addressed following strategies used internationally and by the authors. It summarizes the molecular pathophysiology, including pathological activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1 secretion, and how these observations can inform future treatment strategies. Finally, it provides a summary of ongoing initiatives aiming at classification criteria (ACR/EULAR) and outcome measures (OMERACT) that will enable the generation of evidence through clinical trials. EXPERT OPINION Scientific efforts have linked molecular mechanisms to cytokine dysregulation in CNO, thereby delivering arguments for cytokine blocking strategies. Recent and ongoing collaborative international efforts are providing the basis to move toward clinical trials and target directed treatments for CNO that find approval by regulatory agencies.

Abstract
Non-bacterial osteomyelitis (NBO) is a rare chronic inflammatory bone disease related to immune system dysregulation. This disease belongs to a family of autoinflammatory diseases. It often coexists with other TNF-α-mediated immune-mediated diseases such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and inflammatory bowel diseases. Previously, interleukin-1-driven inflammation was described predominantly in monogenic cases of NBO, such as DIRA syndrome or Majeed syndrome. However, the association between NBO and JIA with systemic onset (soJIA) has not been described yet. Herein, we describe the cases of two patients with soJIA with inflammatory bone lesions wherein canakinumab (anti-interleukin-1β antibodies) caused remission. Case descriptions Patient 1-A 6-month-old boy with typical soJIA suffered a destruction of the 7th to 9th ribs and the left pubic bone. Antibiotics, IVIG, and cyclosporine proved ineffective. Corticosteroids were effective, but due to the factor of corticosteroid dependence, which has some disadvantages, canakinumab with a dosage of 4 mg/kg was initiated every 4 weeks, which completely controlled the disease and allowed to taper corticosteroids.Patient 2-A 2-year-old girl developed chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis of the 5th rib 2 months after taking corticosteroids prescribed for typical soJIA. She underwent surgical debridement removal, and several courses of antibiotics proved ineffective. She developed macrophage activation syndrome, following which anakinra was prescribed, which resulted in only temporary improvement. Therefore, this drug was switched to canakinumab, which caused corticosteroid-free remission. Conclusion This is the first description of a rare association of soJIA with inflammatory bone lesions with the proven efficacy of IL-1 blockade. The association of two autoinflammatory conditions should indicate IL-1-driven mechanisms and a possible genetic basis. Follow-up genetic and functional studies are required to better understand the pathogenesis of such overlapping diseases.

Abstract
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare autoinflammatory disease, clinically characterized by chronic and recurrent episodes of osteoarticular inflammation, that generally presents in children and adolescents. From a dermatological point-of-view, CMRO can be associated with skin rashes mainly including psoriasis, palmoplantar pustulosis and acne. Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease classified within the spectrum of neutrophilic dermatoses that, in some cases, has been reported as cutaneous manifestation in CMRO patients. This paper presents a 16-year female patient diagnosed with CMRO, who presented PG lesions located on the lower leg, that arose after the administration of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitor adalimumab. Cases of PG have been reported in patients being treated with certain medications, including TNF-α antagonists, leading to classified them in a setting aptly termed "drug-induced PG." In this paper, we discuss the co-occurrence of PG and CRMO, in the light of recent evidence on the pathogenesis of both diseases and giving ample space to a literature review on drug induced PG. In our case, it is plausible that PG could be considered a cutaneous manifestation of CRMO, although the mechanisms underlying this intriguingly relationship remain to be fully unraveled.

Abstract
Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is an autoinflammatory bone disease that primarily affects children and adolescents. CNO is associated with pain, bone swelling, deformity, and fractures. Its pathophysiology is characterized by increased inflammasome assembly and imbalanced expression of cytokines. Treatment is currently based on personal experience, case series and resulting expert recommendations. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have not been initiated because of the rarity of CNO, expired patent protection of some medications, and the absence of agreed outcome measures. An international group of fourteen CNO experts and two patient/parent representatives was assembled to generate consensus to inform and conduct future RCTs. The exercise delivered consensus inclusion and exclusion criteria, patent protected (excludes TNF inhibitors) treatments of immediate interest (biological DMARDs targeting IL-1 and IL-17), primary (improvement of pain; physician global assessment) and secondary endpoints (improved MRI; improved PedCNO score which includes physician and patient global scores) for future RCTs in CNO.

Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Literature Review-Based Cohort. CHILDREN 2023; 10:children10030502. [PMID: 36980060 PMCID: PMC10047775 DOI: 10.3390/children10030502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023]
Abstract
Background: Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare autoinflammatory bone disorder that mainly involves children and adolescents. The association with other inflammatory disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), psoriasis, and arthritis, has been reported in the literature. In particular, the relationship between bone and intestinal inflammation is still poorly understood. For this purpose, our review aims to describe the cases reported in the literature concerning this association and to compare them with data from our single-center cohort of patients. Methods: We conducted a literature review of published cases of CNO associated with IBD. Eligible articles were identified through a Medline search in the PubMed database until December 2022. We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients with CNO referred to G. Pini Hospital and compared them with the literature-review-based cohort. Results: Fifty-seven patients with a defined diagnosis of CNO and associated IBD were described in the literature (female 55%). The median age of onset of the disease (CNO or IBD) was 11 years. In 32/53 (60%), a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease (CD) was made, while 18 (34%) patients were classified as suffering from ulcerative colitis (UC) and 3 (6%) from undifferentiated IBD. The diagnosis of CNO preceded the diagnosis of IBD in 59% of cases; while in 24%, IBD anticipated CNO; and in 17%, the two conditions appeared simultaneously. The median time between the two events was 24 months. In our Italian cohort (n = 23 patients), no diagnosis of IBD was made. No significant differences were found when comparing clinical and demographical characteristics of the Italian vs. review-based cohort, except for a significant involvement of rachis in the Italian group. Conclusions: The correlation between autoinflammatory bone disease and intestinal inflammation should be further investigated. It is essential to promote awareness among pediatric rheumatologists and gastroenterologists about this possible association to facilitate the diagnosis and better optimize treatment.

Abstract
Autoimmune disorders have been well characterized over the years and many pathways-but not all of them-have been found to explain their pathophysiology. Autoinflammatory disorders, on the other hand, are still hiding most of their molecular and cellular mechanisms. During the past few years, a newcomer has challenged the idea that only adaptive immunity could display memory response. Trained immunity is defined by innate immune responses that are faster and stronger to a second stimulus than to the first one, being the same or not. In response to the trained immunity inducer, and through metabolic and epigenetic changes of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in the bone marrow that are transmitted to their cellular progeny (peripheral trained immunity), or directly of tissue-resident cells (local innate immunity), innate cells responsiveness and functions upon stimulation are improved in the long-term. Innate immunity can be beneficial, but it could also be detrimental when maladaptive. Here, we discuss how trained immunity could contribute to the physiopathology of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases.

Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO) and Juvenile Spondyloarthritis (JSpA): To What Extent Are They Related? J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12020453. [PMID: 36675382 PMCID: PMC9867437 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12020453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 01/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory disease occurring mainly in the pediatric age group (before 16 years) and generally presents as a separate entity. Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome combines osteoarticular and cutaneous involvement, similar to CRMO, and falls into the spectrum of spondyloarthritis (SpA). The fact that a patient can progress from one disease to another raises the question of whether CRMO, like SAPHO, could fall within the spectrum of SpA, ranging from a predominantly osteoarticular form to an enthesitic form with more or less marked skin involvement. In this review, we set out to discuss this hypothesis by highlighting the differences and similarities between CRMO and juvenile SpA in clinical, radiological and pathophysiological aspects. A common hypothesis could potentially consider intestinal dysbiosis as the origin of these different inflammatory diseases. Interindividual factors such as gender, environment, genetics and/or epigenetic background could act as combined disease modifiers. This is why we suggest that pathophysiology, rather than clinical phenotype, be used to reclassify these diseases.

Abstract
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare idiopathic autoinflammatory bone disease characterised by noninfective inflammation of bones. Diagnostic approach is challenging and requires exclusion of other causes such as malignancies or infections. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids are usually applied as first-line therapy in CRMO patients; however, some cases require more intensive therapy with second-line agents to control disease activity. We hereby describe the use of colchicine as a nonconventional second-line disease-modifying antirheumatic drug in two pediatric patients with CRMO refractory to NSAIDs and corticosteroids. Our data indicate that colchicine might prove an important area for future research as a potential therapeutic option with easy administration, low cost, and a good safety profile in CRMO patients refractory to first-line therapy.

Comparison of the histopathological characteristics of diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis of the mandible, chronic suppurative osteomyelitis, and craniofacial fibrous dysplasia. J Oral Pathol Med 2023; 52:91-98. [PMID: 36370060 DOI: 10.1111/jop.13384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2022] [Revised: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are relatively few reports on the histopathological characteristics of diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis of the mandible (DSOM), which is difficult to distinguish from chronic suppurative osteomyelitis (CSO) and craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (CFD). This study aimed to summarize and compare the histopathological characteristics of DSOM, CFD, and CSO. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections of patients with DSOM, CSO, and CFD at the Peking University Hospital of Stomatology from 2015 to 2020 were retrieved. The histopathological characteristics were summarized, including new bone formation, inflammatory cell infiltration, bone trabecular morphology, osteoclasts, sequestrum, bacterial mass, and calcified spherules, similar to cementicles. The histopathological characteristics of DSOM, CSO, and CFD were compared, and the results were statistically analyzed. RESULTS In total, 50, 13, and 10 patients with DSOM, CSO, and CFD were included in this study, respectively. In terms of new bone formation, both DSOM and CSO showed reactive bone formation (p = 1), whereas CFD mainly showed fiber osteogenesis (p < 0.001). The inflammatory cells of DSOM were mainly lymphocytes and plasma cells, whereas those of CSO were mainly lymphocytes and neutrophils (p < 0.001), and there was usually no inflammatory cell infiltration in the CFD specimens (p < 0.001). DSOM, CSO, and CFD showed irregular bone trabeculae (p = 0.045, p = 0.703) and active osteoclasts (p1 = 0.189, p2 = 0.256). DSOM showed a small amount of bacterial mass but no sequestrum; neither of which was found in CFD (p = 1, p = 1), but it was common in CSO (p = 0.011 and p = 0.025). DSOM and CSO showed smooth and regular basophilic lines (p = 0.308), whereas CFD showed a rough and irregular basophilic line (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The histopathological characteristics of the three diseases were partly similar, but there were evident differences. The main differences are the type of new bone formation, types and distribution of inflammatory cells, and presence of sequestrum and bacterial masses. These differences will help clinicians diagnose DSOM.

Abstract
Autoinflammatory diseases are disorders of the innate immune system, which can be either monogenic due to a specific genetic mutation or complex multigenic due to the involvement of multiple genes. The aim of this review is to explore and summarize the recent advances in pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of genetically complex autoinflammatory diseases, such as Schnitzler's syndrome; adult-onset Still's disease; synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis syndrome/chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis/chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis; Adamantiades-Behçet's disease; Yao syndrome; and periodic fever with aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and adenitis syndrome. The PubMed database was screened for relevant articles using free text words and specific search strings. The search was limited to English-language articles, reporting the results of studies in humans, published through March 2021. Evidence from literature suggest that these rare multigenic autoinflammatory diseases can present with different clinical features and the diagnosis of these diseases can be challenging due to a combination of nonspecific manifestations that can be seen in a variety of other conditions. Diagnostic delays and disease complications may occur due to low disease awareness and the lack of pathognomonic markers. The pathogeneses of these diseases are complex and in some cases precise pathogenesis is not clearly understood. Conventional treatments are commonly used for the management of these conditions, but biologics have shown promising results. Biologics targeting proinflammatory cytokines including IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-17A and IL-18 have been shown to ameliorate signs and symptoms of different multigenic autoinflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Chronic recurrent and multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a nonsporadic autoinflammatory disorder. Currently, it is diagnosed based on clinical, radiologic, pathological, and longitudinal data. Numerous aspects should be highlighted due to increased knowledge in imaging and immunology. We emphasize the use of whole-body MRI, which is a non-invasive diagnostic strategy. A literature review was carried out on longitudinal studies. Commonly, the mean age at diagnosis is 11 years, ranging between 3 and 17. The most common sites are the long bone metaphysis, particularly femoral and tibial metaphysis. In addition, the pelvis, spine, clavicle, and mandible may be involved. In long bones, the radiologic appearance can show typical structure, mixed lytic and sclerotic, sclerotic or lytic. It is frequently metaphyseal or juxta-physeal, with hyperostosis or periosteal thickening. The involvement of the vertebral skeleton is often multifocal. Therefore, whole-body MRI is essential in identifying subclinical lesions. CRMO is a polymorphic disorder in which whole-body MRI is beneficial to demonstrate subclinical edema. Vertebral collapse requires long-term monitoring.

Abstract
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an idiopathic autoinflammatory disease of the bone that typically occurs in children and adolescents. CRMO is characterized by recurrent periods of exacerbation and remission of symptomatic, osteolytic/sclerotic sterile bone lesions and is often a diagnosis of exclusion. Treatment consists of multimodal anti-inflammatory medication management by rheumatology and rarely involves surgery. This review summarizes the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of this disease and highlights the role of the orthopedic surgeon. With increased familiarity with CRMO, clinicians will be able to diagnose and treat the condition in a more timely manner. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx-xx.].

Abstract
Epigenetics comprise a diverse array of reversible and dynamic modifications to the cell’s genome without implicating any DNA sequence alterations. Both the external environment surrounding the organism, as well as the internal microenvironment of cells and tissues, contribute to these epigenetic processes that play critical roles in cell fate specification and organismal development. On the other hand, dysregulation of epigenetic activities can initiate and sustain carcinogenesis, which is often augmented by inflammation. Chronic inflammation, one of the major hallmarks of cancer, stems from proinflammatory cytokines that are secreted by tumor and tumor-associated cells in the tumor microenvironment. At the same time, inflammatory signaling can establish positive and negative feedback circuits with chromatin to modulate changes in the global epigenetic landscape. In this review, we provide an in-depth discussion of the interconnected crosstalk between epigenetics and inflammation, specifically how epigenetic mechanisms at different hierarchical levels of the genome control inflammatory gene transcription, which in turn enact changes within the cell’s epigenomic profile, especially in the context of inflammation-induced cancer.

Abstract
Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) can cause significant morbidity, including bone pain and damage. In the absence of clinical trials, treatments include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, TNF-inhibitors (TNFi) and/or bisphosphonates. In a retrospective chart review in the United Kingdom and Germany, we investigated response to TNFi and/or pamidronate. Ninety-one patients were included, receiving pamidronate (n = 47), TNFi (n = 22) or both sequentially (n = 22). Patients with fatigue [p = 0.003] and/or arthritis [p = 0.002] were more frequently treated with TNFi than pamidronate. Both therapies were associated with clinical remission at 6 months, and reduction of bone lesions on MRI at 12 months. While not reaching statistical significance, pamidronate resulted in faster resolution of MRI lesions. Fewer flares were observed with TNFi. Failure to respond to pamidronate was associated with female sex [p = 0.027], more lesions on MRI [p = 0.01] and higher CRP levels [p = 0.03]. Randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm observations and generate evidence.

Abstract
Objectives Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare polygenic autoinflammatory bone disease. We aimed to characterize the clinical manifestations and gene variants of Chinese adult patients with CNO. Methods By reviewing data of all CNO patients being diagnosed and followed up at the Center for Adult Autoinflammation Diseases, Department of Rheumatology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, clinical and genetic features of these patients were evaluated and concluded. Results The median age of disease onset was 19 (6-64) years old, and adult-onset was observed in 6 (60%) patients. The mean time of diagnosis delay was 92 ± 78 months. The common symptoms were bone pain (10, 100%), fever (9, 90%), and arthritis (6, 60%). In total, there were 54 skeletal lesions, and each patient had no less than 2 lesions. The most frequently affected sites included lower limbs (20.5%), mandible, vertebrae and pelvis (17.5%, separately). Variants of 4 genes were detected in our study including COL1A1, PSTPIP1, LRP5 and CLCN7. In seven patients who were treated with combination therapy containing tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α inhibitors, five (55.6%) had a complete response and 2 (44.4%) had a partial response. Conclusion This is the first and largest case series of CNO in the Chinese adult patients. Four novel genetic mutations potentially associated with CNO were identified. Notably, CNO should be considered in the differential diagnosis of adult patients with long disease course and recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis of unknown cause, and these patients might benefit from combination therapy containing TNFα inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare autoinflammatory bone disease for which a lack of bacterial involvement is a key diagnostic feature to distinguish it from other symptomatically related diseases. However, the growing evidence suggesting an involvement of the host-associated microbiota in rheumatic disorders together with the now wide accessibility of modern culture-independent methods warrant a closer examination of CRMO. METHODS In this study, we show through bacterial 16S rRNA gene profiling that numerous features of the oral- and fecal microbial communities differentiate children with and without CRMO. RESULTS Notably, communities in diseased children are characterized by a lack of potential probiotic bacteria in the fecal community and an overabundance of known pathobionts in the oral microbial communities. Of special interest is the HACEK group, a set of commonly known oral pathogens that are implicated in the development of several acute and chronic diseases such as osteitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Furthermore, we observe that gut bacterial communities in the diseased children appear to reflect an altered host physiology more strongly than the oral community, which could suggest an oral disease origin followed by propagation and/or responses beyond the oral cavity. CONCLUSIONS Bacterial communities, in particular the oral microbiota, may serve as an indicator of underlying susceptibility to CRMO, or play a yet undefined role in its development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis is a relatively uncommon inflammatory condition of the jaws, mainly characterized by periosteal formation of reactive bone. It primarily affects children and adolescences, also referred to as Garre's osteomyelitis, more frequently involving the molar region of the mandible. Cases lacking an obvious source of infection may have an immunologically mediated etiopathogenesis, falling under the spectrum of primary chronic osteomyelitis or chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO). CASE REPORT Herein, we present a case of chronic osteomyelitis in a 6.5-year-old girl, who suffered from recurrent painful episodes of swelling of the mandible for the last 2 years, previously requiring hospitalization and administration of intravenous (IV) antibiotics and NSAIDs with limited responsiveness. The biopsy showed features consistent with osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis. The patient was initially managed with an IV combination antibiotic regimen with only partial improvement. The possibility of an autoimmune mechanism in the context of primary chronic osteomyelitis or CRMO was considered, and immunosuppressive therapy (TNF inhibitor etanercept along with corticosteroids and methotrexate) was administered, resulting in clinical resolution. CONCLUSIONS Osteomyelitis and its childhood variants are relatively rare and their management presents several challenges. Although typically treated with administration of antibiotics, possibly along with surgical intervention, other treatment modalities may be necessary for resilient and persistent cases. In a subset of cases, especially in the absence of local infectious factors, immunologically mediated mechanisms may play an important role and appropriate immunosuppressive therapy may be effective.

Abstract
Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis, or its most severe form, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis, is an autoinflammatory bone disease that causes skeletal inflammation characterized by bone pain and swelling that primarily affects children. It is a diagnosis of exclusion and its clinical presentation may mimic underlying infectious processes and malignancy. Clinical suspicion for this diagnosis and timely referral to pediatric rheumatology is crucial to achieve earlier diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and improved quality of life of affected patients and families. This article focuses on recent insights into the pathogenesis of chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis and outlines recent advances and ongoing research.

Abstract
Considerable clinical evidence supports that increased blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability is linked to immune extravasation of CNS parenchyma during neuroinflammation. Although BBB permeability and immune extravasation are known to be provoked by vascular endothelial growth factor-A (i.e., VEGF-A) and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12), respectively, the mechanisms that link both processes are still elusive. The interleukin-20 (i.e., IL-20) cytokine signaling pathway was previously implicated in VEGF-mediated angiogenesis and is known to induce cellular response by way of signaling through IL-20 receptor subunit β (i.e., IL-20RB). Dysregulated IL-20 signaling is implicated in many inflammatory pathologies, but it's contribution to neuroinflammation has yet to be reported. We hypothesize that the IL-20 cytokine, and the IL cytokine subfamily more broadly, play a key role in CNS neuroinflammation by signaling through IL-20RB, induce VEGF activity, and enhance both BBB-permeability and CXCL12-mediated immune extravasation. To address this hypothesis, we actively immunized IL-20RB-/- mice and wild-type mice to induce experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and found that IL-20RB-/- mice showed amelioration of disease progression compared to wild-type mice. Similarly, we passively immunized IL-20RB-/- mice and wild-type mice with myelin-reactive Th1 cells from either IL-20RB-/- and wild-type genotype. Host IL-20RB-/- mice showed lesser disease progression than wild-type mice, regardless of the myelin-reactive Th1 cells genotype. Using multianalyte bead-based immunoassay and ELISA, we found distinctive changes in levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines between IL-20RB-/- mice and wild-type mice at peak of EAE. We also found detectable levels of all cytokines of the IL-20 subfamily within CNS tissues and specific alteration to IL-20 subfamily cytokines IL-19, IL-20, and IL-24, expression levels. Immunolabeling of CNS region-specific microvessels confirmed IL-20RB protein at the spinal cord microvasculature and upregulation during EAE. Microvessels isolated from macaques CNS tissues also expressed IL-20RB. Moreover, we identified the expression of all IL-20 receptor subunits: IL-22 receptor subunit α-1 (IL-22RA1), IL-20RB, and IL-20 receptor subunit α (IL-20RA) in human CNS microvessels. Notably, human cerebral microvasculature endothelial cells (HCMEC/D3) treated with IL-1β showed augmented expression of the IL-20 receptor. Lastly, IL-20-treated HCMEC/D3 showed alterations on CXCL12 apicobasal polarity consistent with a neuroinflammatory status. This evidence suggests that IL-20 subfamily cytokines may signal at the BBB via IL-20RB, triggering neuroinflammation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our study aimed to evaluate the cytokine levels in pediatric chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) patients and compare these with other immune-mediated diseases and healthy controls. METHODS In this prospective study, we included 42 children with CNO, 28 patients with non-systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), 17 children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), and 30 healthy age-matched controls. In each of the CNO patients and comparison groups, the levels of 14-3-3-η protein, S100A8/A9 protein, interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-17 (IL-17), interleukin-18 (IL-18), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured by ELISA assay. RESULTS All studied cytokines in the CNO patients were significantly higher than controls, and IDDM, 14-3-3-η protein, IL-18, IL-4, IL-17, IL-1β, and TNF-α were less than in JIA patients. In the discriminant analysis, ESR, 14-3-3 protein, S100A8/A9, IL-18, IL-4, and TNF-α can discriminate CNO from JIA, and 14-3-3 protein, S100A8/A9, IL-18, IL-17, IL-4, and TNF-α can distinguish CNO from other diseases and HC. CONCLUSION The increased level of pro-inflammatory cytokines confirms the role of monocyte-driven inflammation in CNO patients. Cytokines may prove valuable as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for CNO.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is tightly controlled by osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and osteoblast-mediated bone formation. Fine tuning of the osteoclast-osteoblast balance results in strict synchronization of bone resorption and formation, which maintains structural integrity and bone tissue homeostasis; in contrast, dysregulated bone remodeling may cause pathological osteolysis, in which inflammation plays a vital role in promoting bone destruction. The alveolar bone presents high turnover rate, complex associations with the tooth and periodontium, and susceptibility to oral pathogenic insults and mechanical stress, which enhance its complexity in host defense and bone remodeling. Alveolar bone loss is also involved in systemic bone destruction and is affected by medication or systemic pathological factors. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the osteoimmunological mechanisms involved in the dysregulation of alveolar bone remodeling. The inflammasome is a supramolecular protein complex assembled in response to pattern recognition receptors and damage-associated molecular patterns, leading to the maturation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and activation of inflammatory responses. Pyroptosis downstream of inflammasome activation also facilitates the clearance of intracellular pathogens and irritants. However, inadequate or excessive activity of the inflammasome may allow for persistent infection and infection spreading or uncontrolled destruction of the alveolar bone, as commonly observed in periodontitis, periapical periodontitis, peri-implantitis, orthodontic tooth movement, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, nonsterile or sterile osteomyelitis of the jaw, and osteoporosis. In this review, we present a framework for understanding the role and mechanism of canonical and noncanonical inflammasomes in the pathogenesis and development of etiologically diverse diseases associated with alveolar bone loss. Inappropriate inflammasome activation may drive alveolar osteolysis by regulating cellular players, including osteoclasts, osteoblasts, osteocytes, periodontal ligament cells, macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils, and adaptive immune cells, such as T helper 17 cells, causing increased osteoclast activity, decreased osteoblast activity, and enhanced periodontium inflammation by creating a pro-inflammatory milieu in a context- and cell type-dependent manner. We also discuss promising therapeutic strategies targeting inappropriate inflammasome activity in the treatment of alveolar bone loss. Novel strategies for inhibiting inflammasome signaling may facilitate the development of versatile drugs that carefully balance the beneficial contributions of inflammasomes to host defense.

Abstract
To evaluate patient-reported effectiveness, safety and social influence of Pamidronate in the therapy of NSAIDs-refractory Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis in children. Authors reviewed self-created questionnaires, which asked patients for symptoms alleviation, adverse drug reactions frequency and degree of severity and daily activities self-reliance. Only surveys with complete answers, which were returned to authors by an e-mail from juvenile patients treated for NSAIDs-refractory Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis at the University Children’s Hospital of Cracow were analyzed. Between 2010 and 2019, 61 children were diagnosed with NSAIDs-refractory Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis at our department. Out of 61 requests sent, 42 complete replies (33 females, 9 males) were gathered and analyzed. All patients included in this research were administered with at least one set of Pamidronate intravenously in the dose of 1 mg/kg/day for 3 consecutive days. Our analysis shows remarkable in terms of patient’s impressions decrease of pain intensity after 2.5 series of Pamidronate on average, and total pain resolution after 5.9 series on average. Overall number of adverse drug reaction events reported by responders was 105. One patient developed drug-dependent renal insufficiency in the course of therapy. Outcome assessment indicates that nearly 50% of the studied population was more eager to participate in social life just after the first infusion of the drug. 95% of the surveyed unanimously agreed to recommend Pamidronate therapy to cure NSAIDs-refractory CRMO. 39 out of 42 (93%) patients considered Pamidronate effective at the end of the treatment. Onset of Pamidronate’s action is gradual and differs in terms of symptoms alleviation between sexes. The therapy can induce considerable number of adverse drug reactions (2.5 per patient). Only 3 out of 42 (7%) patients were free from any ADRs. To demonstrate the impact of the use of Pamidronate on daily activities more precisely, further research with quantification of the quality of life is warranted.

Abstract
Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is an inflammatory bone disorder that most frequently affects children and adolescents. Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a severe form of CNO, usually characterized by symmetrical inflammatory bone lesions and its waxing and waning character. Sometimes severe and chronic pain can significantly affect the quality of life and psychosocial development of individuals affected. In the absence of prospectively tested and widely accepted diagnostic criteria or disease biomarkers, CNO remains a diagnosis of exclusion, and infections, malignancy and other differentials require consideration (1). The pathophysiology of CNO is not fully understood, but imbalanced cytokine expression and increased inflammasome activation in monocytes from CNO patients contribute to a pro-inflammatory phenotype that contributes to bone inflammation (2). Currently, no medications are licensed for the use in CNO. Most patients show at least some response to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, others require more aggressive treatment that can include corticosteroids, cytokine-blocking agents and/or bisphosphonates (3). While under the care of an experienced team and sufficient treatment, the prognosis is good, but some patients will develop sequalae which can include vertebral compression fractures (1). CNO is an autoinflammatory bone disorder mostly affecting children and adolescents. Dysregulated cytokine expression and pathological activation of inflammasomes play a central role. Treatment is based on experience from case series and expert consensus treatment plans. Understanding the exact molecular pathophysiology will allow patient stratification and individualized treatment.

Abstract
Majeed syndrome is a multi-system inflammatory disorder affecting humans that presents with chronic multifocal osteomyelitis, congenital dyserythropoietic anemia, with or without a neutrophilic dermatosis. The disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in LPIN2, the gene encoding the phosphatidic acid phosphatase LIPIN2. It is exceedingly rare. There are only 24 individuals from 10 families with genetically confirmed Majeed syndrome reported in the literature. The early descriptions of Majeed syndrome reported severely affected children with recurrent fevers, severe multifocal osteomyelitis, failure to thrive, and marked elevations of blood inflammatory markers. As more affected families have been identified, it has become clear that there is significant phenotypic variability. Data supports that disruption of the phosphatidic acid phosphatase activity in LIPIN2 results in immune dysregulation due to aberrant activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, however, these findings did not explain the bone phenotype. Recent studies demonstrate that LPIN2 deficiency drives pro-inflammatory M2-macrophages and enhances osteoclastogenesis which suggest a critical role of lipin-2 in controlling homeostasis at the growth plate in an inflammasome-independent manner. While there are no approved medications for Majeed syndrome, pharmacologic blockade of the interleukin-1 pathway has been associated with rapid clinical improvement.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still's disease (AoSD) is a rare systemic autoinflammatory disease characterized by arthritis, spiking fever, skin rash and elevated ferritin levels. The reason behind the nomenclature of this condition is that AoSD shares certain symptoms with Still's disease in children, currently named systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Immune dysregulation plays a central role in AoSD and is characterized by pathogenic involvement of both arms of the immune system. Furthermore, the past two decades have seen a large body of immunological research on cytokines, which has attributed to both a better understanding of AoSD and revolutionary advances in treatment. Additionally, recent studies have introduced a new approach by grouping patients with AoSD into only two phenotypes: one with predominantly systemic features and one with a chronic articular disease course. Diagnosis presupposes an extensive diagnostic workup to rule out infections and malignancies. The severe end of the spectrum of this disease is secondary haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, better known as macrophage activation syndrome. In this review, we discuss current research conducted on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, classification, biomarkers and complications of AoSD, as well as the treatment strategy at each stage of the disease course. We also highlight the similarities and differences between AoSD and systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis. There is a considerable need for large multicentric prospective trials.

Abstract
Aging represents the multifactorial decline in physiological function of every living organism. Over the past decades, several hallmarks of aging have been defined, including epigenetic deregulation. Indeed, multiple epigenetic events were found altered across different species during aging. Epigenetic changes directly contributing to aging and aging-related diseases include the accumulation of histone variants, changes in chromatin accessibility, loss of histones and heterochromatin, aberrant histone modifications, and deregulated expression/activity of miRNAs. As a consequence, cellular processes are affected, which results in the development or progression of several human pathologies, including cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, and neurodegenerative disorders. In this review, we focus on epigenetic mechanisms underlying aging-related processes in various species and describe how these deregulations contribute to human diseases.

Abstract
The NLRP3 inflammasome regulates innate immune and inflammatory responses by promoting pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-18 and IL-1β. NLRP3 is one of the main factors restricting the activation of the inflammasome, which is closely related to the abundance and localization of NLRP3. A substantial number of studies have focused on specifically targeting NLRP3 to develop inhibitors against NLRP3 inflammasome. Here, we succinctly review the regulation of NLRP3 expression at DNA/chromosome, transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and translation levels. These are critical for the fine regulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.

[PMID: 33002446 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2020.108611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 62] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2020] [Revised: 09/24/2020] [Accepted: 09/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction is one of the leading complications of sepsis, contributing to the high morbidity and mortality of septic patients. Several lines of evidence have demonstrated that autophagy and pyroptosis may be involved in septic cardiac dysfunction. In this study, we examined the impact of zinc finger antisense 1 (ZFAS1) on sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction via regulating pyroptosis and autophagy. METHOD Mice with cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis was constructed in vivo. Myocardial injury was assessed by H&E staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC) for NLRP3, caspase 1, and interleukin (IL)-1β, as well as ELISA assay for serum levels of creatine kinase (CK), CK-MB, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and IL-1β. Primary cardiomyocytes exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were established to simulate sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction in vitro. Cell viability was examined by MTT assay and concentration of TNF-α and IL-1β was measured by ELISA. Flow cytometry, immunofluorescent staining and western blotting were performed to assess pyroptosis and autophagy. The transcriptional regulation of SP1 on ZFAS1 was determined using ChIP assay. Luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the ZFAS1/miR-590-3p interaction. Besides, activation of AMPK/mTOR signaling was detected using western blotting. RESULTS Highly expressed ZFAS1 was observed in sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction in the in vivo and in vitro model. Knockdown of ZFAS1 robustly abolished LPS-induced pyroptosis and attenuated the inhibition of autophagy. SP1 was identified to be an essential transcription factor to positively regulate ZFAS1 expression. Moreover, miR-590-3p functioned as a downstream effector to reverse ZFAS1-mediated sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction. AMPK/mTOR signaling was involved in miR-590-3p-regulated autophagy and pyroptosis of cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, the regulatory network of ZFAS1/miR-590-3p on AMPK/mTOR signaling was verified in vivo. CONCLUSION ZFAS1, activated by SP1, aggravates the progression of sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction via targeting miR-590-3p/AMPK/mTOR signaling-mediated autophagy and pyroptosis of cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Purpose of Review To describe in detail the clinical synopsis and pathophysiology of chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis and SAPHO syndrome. Recent Findings Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) has been identified as a disease entity for almost 50 years. This inflammatory bone disorder is characterized by osteolytic as well as hyperostotic/osteosclerotic lesions. It is chronic in nature, but it can present with episodic flairs and phases of remission, which have led to the denomination “chronic recurrent osteomyelitis”, with its severe multifocal form “chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis” (CRMO). For almost three decades, an infectious aetiology had been considered, since especially Propionibacterium acnes had been isolated from bone lesions of individual patients. However, this concept has been challenged since long-term antibiotic therapy did not alter the course of disease and modern microbiological techniques (including PCR) failed to confirm bone infection as an underlying cause. Over recent years, a profound dysregulation of cytokine expression profiles has been demonstrated in innate immune cells of CNO patients. A hallmark of monocytes from CNO patients is the failure to produce immune regulatory cytokines interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IL-19, which have been linked with genetic and epigenetic alterations. Subsequently, a significant upregulation of pro-inflammatory, NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α), has been demonstrated. Summary The current knowledge on CNO, the underlying molecular pathophysiology, and modern imaging strategies are summarized; differential diagnoses, treatment options, outcome measures, as well as quality of life studies are discussed.

Abstract
(1) Background: Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is an autoinflammatory bone disease of finally unknown etiology, which can occur alone or related with syndromes (chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis-CRMO; synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis syndrome-SAPHO). The involvement of the mandible is rather rare. (2) Methods: We carried out a systematic literature search on CNO with mandibular involvement, according to the "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses" (PRISMA) guidelines, considering the different synonyms for CNO, with a special focus on therapy. (3) Results: Finally, only four studies could be included. A total of 36 patients were treated in these studies-therefore, at most, only tendencies could be identified. The therapy in the included works was inconsistent. Various therapies could alleviate the symptoms of the disease. A complete remission could only rarely be observed and is also to be viewed against the background of the fluctuating character of the disease. The success of one-off interventions is unlikely overall, and the need for long-term therapies seems to be indicated. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were not part of any effective therapy. Surgical therapy should not be the first choice. (4) Conclusions: In summary, no evidence-based therapy recommendation can be given today. For the future, systematic clinical trials on therapy for CNO are desirable.

Abstract
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is a rare autoinflammatory, immunologic disorder. It may involve recurrent inflammatory bone pain associated with aseptic osteomyelitis. If the diagnosis is delayed, it negatively influences quality of life by leading to persistent symptoms or joint damage. Herein, we report a 16-year-old male patient who presented with left hip and right knee pain lasting for the last two months and was diagnosed as having chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis as a result of further evaluation. Improvement was achieved with prednisolone and methotrexate treatment that was initiated when no response to ibuprofen treatment could be obtained. Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis must be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with joint symptoms when clinical and radiologic bone lesions are found, no microorganism growth is observed, and no response to antibiotic treatment is obtained.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still’s disease (AoSD) is a rare but clinically well-known, polygenic, systemic autoinflammatory disease. It is typically characterized by four main (cardinal) symptoms: spiking fever ≥39 °C, arthralgia or arthritis, skin rash, and hyperleukocytosis (≥10,000 cells/mm3). However, many other clinical features are possible, and it can appear in all age groups with potentially severe inflammatory onset accompanied by a broad spectrum of disease manifestation and complications. Hence, it remains a diagnostic challenge, and the clinician should first rule out infectious, tumoral, or inflammatory differential diagnoses. Determination of the total and glycosylated ferritin levels, although not pathognomonic, can help in diagnosis. New biomarkers have recently been described, but they need to be validated. The disease evolution of AoSD can be monocyclic, polycyclic, or chronic. In chronic disease, a joint involvement is often predominant, and erosions are noted in one-third of patients. Many progresses have been made in the understanding of the pathogenesis over the last decades. This chapter provides a comprehensive insight into the complex and heterogeneous nature of AoSD describing the identified cytokine signaling pathways and biomarkers. It also discusses the current evidence for the usage of biologics in AoSD to provide guidance for treatment decisions, taking into account both the efficacy and the safety of the different therapeutic options.

Abstract
Innate immune system represents the ancestral defense against infectious agents preserved along the evolution and species; it is phylogenetically older than the adaptive immune system, which exists only in the vertebrates. Cells with phagocytic activity such as neutrophils, macrophages, and natural killer (NK) cells play a key role in innate immunity. In 1999 Kastner et al. first introduced the term “autoinflammation” describing two diseases characterized by recurrent episodes of systemic inflammation without any identifiable infectious trigger: Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) and TNF Receptor Associated Periodic Syndrome (TRAPS). Autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs) are caused by self-directed inflammation due to an alteration of innate immunity leading to systemic inflammatory attacks typically in an on/off mode. In addition to inflammasomopathies, nuclear factor (NF)-κB-mediated disorders (also known as Rhelopathies) and type 1 interferonopathies are subjects of more recent studies. This review aims to provide an overview of the field with the most recent updates (see “Most recent developments in..” paragraphs) and a description of the newly identified AIDs. Autoinflammatory diseases are caused by self-directed inflammation. Alteration of innate immunity leads to systemic inflammation attacks. The autoinflammatory field is exponentially expanding. The advances in AIDs have led to new insights into immune system understanding. Autoimmunity and autoinflammation features may be simultaneously present.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still’s disease (AoSD) is a rare but clinically well-known, polygenic, systemic autoinflammatory disease. Owing to its sporadic appearance in all adult age groups with potentially severe inflammatory onset accompanied by a broad spectrum of disease manifestation and complications, AoSD is an unsolved challenge for clinicians with limited therapeutic options. This Review provides a comprehensive insight into the complex and heterogeneous nature of AoSD, describing biomarkers of the disease and its progression and the cytokine signalling pathways that contribute to disease. The efficacy and safety of biologic therapeutic options are also discussed, and guidance for treatment decisions is provided. Improving the approach to AoSD in the future will require much closer cooperation between paediatric and adult rheumatologists to establish common diagnostic strategies, treatment targets and goals. Adult-onset Still’s disease (AoSD) is not easily diagnosed, and treatment options are limited. This Review provides an overview of the disease and its pathogenesis, clinical trial results, therapeutic options and a plan to diagnose and clinically manage these patients. Similar to systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis, adult-onset Still’s disease (AoSD) is a rare systemic autoinflammatory disease with potentially severe inflammatory onset accompanied by a broad spectrum of disease manifestation and complications. AoSD should be considered in patients with persistent fever, and the diagnosis is based on the combination of clinical and laboratory findings as well as the exclusion of other inflammatory conditions. Central to the pathogenesis of AoSD is the intense activation of innate immune cells and overproduction of several pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1, IL-6 and IL-18. Two IL-1 antagonists have been approved for treatment of AoSD, and growing evidence suggests that other biologic agents are therapeutic options, such as anti-IL-6 and anti-IL-18 therapeutics. As a reliable prediction of response and outcome is not possible, therapeutic decisions have to be made on the basis of clinical, biological or imaging characteristics of disease. A close cooperation between paediatric and adult rheumatologists is required to establish common diagnostic strategies, treatment targets and goals.

Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is an autoinflammatory bone disease, and patients with active or recurrent bone inflammation at multiple sites are diagnosed with chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO). The Chronic multifocal osteomyelitis (CMO) mouse model develops IL-1β-driven sterile bone lesions reminiscent of severe CRMO. The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential involvement of mast cells in CMO/CRMO. Here, we show that mast cells accumulate in inflamed tissues from CMO mice and that mast cell protease Mcpt1 can be detected in the peripheral blood. A transgenic model of connective tissue mast cell depletion (Mcpt5-Cre:Rosa26-Stopfl/fl-DTa) was crossed with CMO mice and the resulting mice (referred to as CMO/MC–) showed a significant delay in disease onset compared with age-matched CMO mice. At 5-6 months of age, CMO/MC– mice had fewer bone lesions and immune infiltration in the popliteal lymph nodes that drain the affected tissues. In bone marrow-derived mast cell cultures from CMO mice, cytokine production in response to the alarmin IL-33 was elevated compared with wild-type cultures. To test the relevance of mast cells to human CRMO, we tested serum samples from a cohort of healthy controls and from CRMO patients at diagnosis. Interestingly, mast cell chymase was elevated in CRMO patients as well as in patients with oligoarticular juvenile arthritis. Tryptase-positive mast cells were also detected in bone lesions from CRMO patients and patients with bacterial osteomyelitis. Together, our results identify mast cells as cellular contributors to bone inflammation in CMO/CRMO and provide rationale for further study of mast cells as therapeutic targets. Summary: This paper reports that mast cells promote bone loss in an autoinflammatory disease model and that mast cell mediators were detected in autoinflammatory disease patient samples.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW This review aims at presenting the most significant data obtained in the field of the genetics of autoinflammatory disorders (AID) over the last past 5 years. RECENT FINDINGS More than 15 genes have been implicated in AID since 2014, unveiling new pathogenic pathways. Recent data have revealed atypical modes of transmission in several inherited AID, such as somatic mosaicism and digenism. First pieces of evidence showing an involvement of epigenetic modifications in the pathogenesis of AID have also been brought to light. Novel genetic data have been obtained on the molecular bases of genetically complex AID. The development of next-generation sequencing in routine clinical practice has led to an explosion in the identification of new AID genes. Advances in the knowledge of AID further blur the limits between monogenic and multifactorial forms of these syndromes, and between autoinflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

Surace AEA, Hedrich CM. The Role of Epigenetics in Autoimmune/Inflammatory Disease. Front Immunol 2019; 10:1525. [PMID: 31333659 PMCID: PMC6620790 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2019.01525] [Citation(s) in RCA: 134] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2019] [Accepted: 06/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Historically, systemic self-inflammatory conditions were classified as either autoinflammatory and caused by the innate immune system or autoimmune and driven by adaptive immune responses. However, it became clear that reality is much more complex and that autoimmune/inflammatory conditions range along an “inflammatory spectrum” with primarily autoinflammatory vs. autoimmune conditions resembling extremes at either end. Epigenetic modifications influence gene expression and alter cellular functions without modifying the genomic sequence. Methylation of CpG DNA dinucleotides and/or their hydroxymethylation, post-translational modifications to amino termini of histone proteins, and non-coding RNA expression are main epigenetic events. The pathophysiology of autoimmune/inflammatory diseases has been closely linked with disease causing gene mutations (rare) or a combination of genetic susceptibility and epigenetic modifications arising from exposure to the environment (more common). Over recent years, progress has been made in understanding molecular mechanisms involved in systemic inflammation and the contribution of innate and adaptive immune responses. Epigenetic events have been identified as (i) central pathophysiological factors in addition to genetic disease predisposition and (ii) as co-factors determining clinical pictures and outcomes in individuals with monogenic disease. Thus, a complete understanding of epigenetic contributors to autoimmune/inflammatory disease will result in approaches to predict individual disease outcomes and the introduction of effective, target-directed, and tolerable therapies. Here, we summarize recent findings that signify the importance of epigenetic modifications in autoimmune/inflammatory disorders along the inflammatory spectrum choosing three examples: the autoinflammatory bone condition chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO), the “mixed pattern” disorder psoriasis, and the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
