Macrophage activation and inflammatory priming by anti-MAA antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis. Clin Immunol 2024; 265:110303.

Abstract
We studied the effects of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) autoantibodies that target malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde protein adducts (anti-MAA) on inflammation and macrophage functions. We detected a profound reprogramming of gene expressions and the production of chemokines, such as CCL22 and CCL24, in anti-MAA exposed macrophages. Moreover, anti-MAA pretreatment promoted a more inflammatory cytokine profile upon TLR activation. Although anti-MAA are typically multi-reactive, we observed a prominent clonal diversity in inducing macrophage activation. Anti-MAA antibodies were not arthritogenic in mice, but altered a set of cytokine and growth factor encoding genes in the joints. In individuals at risk of RA anti-MAA IgG levels correlated with circulating inflammatory mediators prior to and at arthritis onset. Certain IgG anti-MAA clones may thus contribute to an inflammatory priming of the joint prior to the onset of systemic inflammation via inducing FcγR-mediated macrophage pre-activation and setting the stage for augmented responses to subsequent inflammatory stimuli.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of unelucidated etiology. LP immunopathogenesis is mainly governed by cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediate an immune response in basal keratinocytes, which may transform into a reservoir of antigens able to initiate an autoimmune reaction. However, other pathogenic pathways complement these mechanisms. Recent studies highlight the involvement of nitrosative stress in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Current data on its role in the pathogenesis of LP are scarce. METHODS In this article, we investigated nitrosative stress in 40 cutaneous LP (CLP) patients compared to 40 healthy subjects using serum markers including nitrosative stress markers-direct nitrite, total nitrite, nitrate and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), total antioxidant status (TAS), and hsCRP, a marker of inflammation, and analyzed the relationship between nitrosative stress, antioxidant defense, and inflammation to offer new insights into the role of the NO pathway in LP pathogenesis. RESULTS We identified significantly higher serum levels of direct nitrite, total nitrite, nitrate, SDMA and hsCRP, and significantly lower levels of TAS in CLP patients versus controls. There were significant negative correlations between the serum levels of TAS and significantl positive correlations between the serum levels of hsCRP and the analyzed nitrosative stress markers in patients with CLP. CONCLUSION Our results indicate an increased level of nitrosative stress in LP patients that correlates with a pro-inflammatory status and altered antioxidant defense.

Abstract
Deposition of autoantibodies in glomeruli is a key factor in the development of lupus nephritis (LN). For a long time, anti-dsDNA and anti-C1q antibodies were thought to be the main cause of the kidney damage. However, recent studies have shown that the list of autoantibidies that have renal tropism and deposit in the kidney in LN is increasing and the link between anti-dsDNA and renal pathology is weak due to potential confounders. Aspecific bindings of dsDNA with cationic antibodies and of anti-dsDNA with several renal antigens such as actinin, laminin, entactin, and annexinA2 raised doubts about the specific target of these antibodies in the kidney. Moreover, the isotype of anti-dsDNA in SLE and LN has never received adequate interest until the recent observation that IgG2 are preponderant over IgG1, IgG3 and IgG4. Based on the above background, recent studies investigated the involvement of anti-dsDNA IgG2 and of other antibodies in LN. It was concluded that circulating anti-dsDNA IgG2 levels do not distinguish between LN versus non-renal SLE, and, in patients with LN, their levels do not change over time. Circulating levels of other antibodies such as anti-ENO1 and anti-H2 IgG2 were, instead, higher in LN vs non-renal SLE at the time of diagnosis and decreased following therapies. Finally, new classes of renal antibodies that potentially modify the anti-inflammatory response in the kidney are emerging as new co-actors in the pathogenetic scenario. They have been defined as 'second wave antibodies' for the link with detoxifying mechanisms limiting the oxidative stress in glomeruli that are classically stimulated in a second phase of inflammation. These findings have important clinical implications that may modify the laboratory approach to LN. Serum levels of anti-ENO1 and anti-H2 IgG2 should be measured in the follow up of patients for designing the length of therapies and identify those patients who respond to treatments. Anti-SOD2 could help to monitor and potentiate the anti-inflammatory response in the kidney.

Autoreactive B cells against malondialdehyde-induced protein cross-links are present in the joint, lung, and bone marrow of rheumatoid arthritis patients. J Biol Chem 2023; 299:105320.

Abstract
Autoantibodies to malondialdehyde (MDA) proteins constitute a subset of anti-modified protein autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which is distinct from citrulline reactivity. Serum anti-MDA IgG levels are commonly elevated in RA and correlate with disease activity, CRP, IL6, and TNF-α. MDA is an oxidation-associated reactive aldehyde that together with acetaldehyde mediates formation of various immunogenic amino acid adducts including linear MDA-lysine, fluorescent malondialdehyde acetaldehyde (MAA)-lysine, and intramolecular cross-linking. We used single-cell cloning, generation of recombinant antibodies (n = 356 from 25 donors), and antigen-screening to investigate the presence of class-switched MDA/MAA+ B cells in RA synovium, bone marrow, and bronchoalveolar lavage. Anti-MDA/MAA+ B cells were found in bone marrow plasma cells of late disease and in the lung of both early disease and risk-individuals and in different B cell subsets (memory, double negative B cells). These were compared with previously identified anti-MDA/MAA from synovial memory and plasma cells. Seven out of eight clones carried somatic hypermutations and all bound MDA/MAA-lysine independently of protein backbone. However, clones with somatic hypermutations targeted MAA cross-linked structures rather than MDA- or MAA-hapten, while the germline-encoded synovial clone instead bound linear MDA-lysine in proteins and peptides. Binding patterns were maintained in germline converted clones. Affinity purification of polyclonal anti-MDA/MAA from patient serum revealed higher proportion of anti-MAA versus anti-MDA compared to healthy controls. In conclusion, IgG anti-MDA/MAA show distinct targeting of different molecular structures. Anti-MAA IgG has been shown to promote bone loss and osteoclastogenesis in vivo and may contribute to RA pathogenesis.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the dysregulation of B cell subpopulation and function. Recent studies have suggested a potential role of ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death, in the pathogenesis of SLE. Here, we demonstrate that B-cell ferroptosis occurs both in lupus patients and MRL/lpr mice. Treatment with liproxstatin-1, a potent ferroptosis inhibitor, could reduce autoantibody production, improve renal damage, and alleviate lupus symptoms in vivo. Furthermore, our results suggest that ferroptosis may regulate B cell differentiation and plasma cell formation, indicating a potential mechanism for its involvement in SLE. Taken together, targeting ferroptosis in B cells may be a promising therapeutic strategy for SLE.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays an important role in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and especially in lupus nephritis (LN). The aim of this study was to compare redox-related biomarkers between patients with active LN, quiescent SLE (Q-SLE) and healthy controls (HC) and to explore their association with clinical characteristics such as disease activity in patients. We investigated levels of plasma free thiols (R-SH, sulfhydryl groups), levels of soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) and levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in SLE patients with active LN (n = 23), patients with quiescent SLE (n = 47) and HC (n = 23). Data of LN patients who previously participated in Dutch lupus nephritis studies and longitudinal samples up to 36 months were analyzed. Thiol levels were lower in active LN at baseline and Q-SLE patients compared to HC. In generalized estimating equation (GEE) modelling, free thiol levels were negatively correlated with the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) over time (p < 0.001). sRAGE and MDA were positively correlated with the SLEDAI over time (p = 0.035 and p = 0.016, respectively). These results indicate that oxidative stress levels in LN patients are increased compared to HC and associated with SLE disease activity. Therefore, interventional therapy to restore redox homeostasis may be useful as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of oxidative damage in SLE.

Abstract
Psoriasis, one of the most frequent immune-mediated skin diseases, is manifested by numerous psoriatic lessons on the skin caused by excessive proliferation and keratinization of epidermal cells. These disorders of keratinocyte metabolism are caused by a pathological interaction with the cells of the immune system, including lymphocytes, which in psoriasis are also responsible for systemic inflammation. This is accompanied by oxidative stress, which promotes the formation of lipid peroxidation products, including reactive aldehydes and isoprostanes, which are additional pro-inflammatory signaling molecules. Therefore, the presented review is focused on highlighting changes that occur during psoriasis development at the level of lipid peroxidation products, including 4-hydroxynonenal, 4-oxononenal, malondialdehyde, and acrolein, and their influence on protein structures. Furthermore, we will examine inducing agents of cellular functioning, as well as intercellular signaling. These lipid peroxidation products can form adducts with a variety of proteins with different functions in the body, including proteins within skin cells and cells of the immune system. This is especially true in autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis. For example, these changes concern proteins involved in maintaining redox homeostasis or pro-inflammatory signaling. Therefore, the formation of such adducts should attract attention, especially during the design of preventive cosmetics or anti-psoriasis therapies.

Abstract
Exogenous and endogenous exposure to aldehydes is seen worldwide. Aldehydes are closely associated with human diseases, especially reproductive toxicity. However, the effect of aldehyde exposure on sex steroid hormones among adults remains uninvestigated. A total of 851 participants aged over 18 years were included in this cross-sectional analysis based on data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014. Serum aldehyde concentrations were quantified following an automated analytical method. Sex steroid hormones including total testosterone, estradiol, and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) were detected. Multivariate linear regression models, forest plots, generalized additive model (GAM), and smooth curve fitting analysis were used to assess the associations between quartiles of aldehydes and sex steroid hormones levels after adjusting for potential confounders. Butyraldehyde and propanaldehyde were found to be negatively associated with estradiol and SHBG in females and males, respectively. β values with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were - 20.59 (- 38.30 to - 2.88) for Q2 vs. Q1 of butyraldehyde and - 8.13 (- 14.92 to - 1.33) and - 7.79 (- 14.91 to - 0.67) for Q2 vs. Q1 and Q4 vs. Q1 of propanaldehyde. No significant associations were observed between other aldehydes and sex hormones. In premenopausal women, isopentanaldehyde was inversely associated with serum total testosterone levels (Q4 vs. Q1: OR = - 7.95, 95% CI: - 15.62 to - 0.27), whereas propanaldehyde was positively associated with serum estradiol concentration (Q3 vs. Q1: β = 28.88, 95% CI: 0.83 to 56.94). Compared with Q1, Q3 of isopentanaldehyde was associated with 3.53 pg/mL higher concentration of estradiol in postmenopausal women (β = 3.53, 95% CI: 0.08 to 6.97). Moreover, in males under 40 years, butyraldehyde and heptanaldehyde were inversely proportional to total testosterone levels and heptanaldehyde and butyraldehyde were negatively associated with estradiol and SHBG. Decreased total testosterone, elevated estradiol, and decreased SHBG levels were found in higher quartiles of benzaldehyde, hexanaldehyde and isopentanaldehyde, and propanaldehyde, respectively, in males aged over 60 years. In male participants aged 40-60 years, only hexanaldehyde was observed to be correlated with higher serum estradiol levels. In conclusion, our current research presented the association between six serum aldehydes and sex hormones. Of note, stratification analyses were conducted in participants with different menopausal statuses and age among males and females. Sex- and age-specific effect of aldehyde exposure on alterations in sex hormone levels were observed. Further studies are warranted to confirm the causal relationship and explore the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Proteins subjected to post-translational modifications, such as citrullination, carbamylation, acetylation or malondialdehyde (MDA)-modification are targeted by autoantibodies in seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Epidemiological and experimental studies have both suggested the pathogenicity of such humoral autoimmunity, however, molecular mechanisms triggered by anti-modified protein antibodies have remained to be identified. Here we describe in detail the pathways induced by anti-MDA modified protein antibodies that were obtained from synovial B cells of RA patients and that possessed robust osteoclast stimulatory potential and induced bone erosion in vivo. Anti-MDA antibodies boosted glycolysis in developing osteoclasts via an FcγRI, HIF-1α and MYC-dependent mechanism and subsequently increased oxidative phosphorylation. Osteoclast development required robust phosphoglyceride and triacylglyceride biosynthesis, which was also enhanced by anti-MDA by modulating citrate production and expression of the glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1 (GPD1) and glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 2 (GPAT2) genes. In summary, we described novel metabolic pathways instrumental for osteoclast differentiation, which were targeted by anti-MDA antibodies, accelerating bone erosion, a central component of RA pathogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease featured with a dry mouth and dry eyes. Several autoantibodies, including anti-SSA, anti-SSB, antinuclear antibodies can be detected in patients with SS. Oxidation-specific epitopes (OSEs) can be formed from malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified protein adducts and trigger chronic inflammation. In this study, our purposes were used serum levels of anti-MDA-modified peptide adducts autoantibodies to evaluate predictive performance by machine learning algorithms in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) and assess the association between pSS and healthy controls. METHODS Three novel MDA-modified peptide adducts, including immunoglobulin (Ig) gamma heavy chain 1 (IGHG1)102-131, complement factor H (CFAH)1045-1062, and Ig heavy constant alpha 1 (IGHA1)307-327 were identified and validated. Serum levels of protein, MDA-modified protein adducts, MDA, and autoantibodies recognizing unmodified peptides and MDA-modified peptide adducts were measured. Statistically significance in correlations and odds ratios (ORs) were estimated. RESULTS The random forest classifier utilized autoantibodies combination composed of IgM anti-IGHG1102-131, IgM anti-IGHG1102-131 MDA and IgM anti-IGHA1307-327 achieved predictive performance as an accuracy of 88.0%, a sensitivity of 93.7%, and a specificity of 84.4% which may be as potential diagnostic biomarkers to differentiate patients with pSS from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and secondary SS in RA and HCs. CONCLUSIONS Our findings imply that low levels of IgA anti-IGHG1102-131 MDA (OR = 2.646), IgA anti-IGHG1102-131 (OR = 2.408), IgA anti-CFAH1045-1062 (OR = 2.571), and IgA anti-IGHA1307-327 (OR = 2.905) may denote developing risks of pSS, respectively.

Autoantibodies against specific post-translationally modified proteins are present in patients with lupus and associate with major neuropsychiatric manifestations. RMD Open 2022; 8:rmdopen-2021-002079.

Abstract
Background Although autoantibodies are an important hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), most are not specific for SLE or any of its clinical manifestations. Autoantibodies against post-translationally modified (PTM) proteins have been studied extensively in rheumatoid arthritis and associate with disease progression. While PTMs have also been detected in patients with SLE, studies on anti-PTM antibodies remain scarce. We studied the presence of anti-PTM antibodies in SLE and neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE), a manifestation that lacks serological markers. Methods IgG antibody responses against six PTMs (malondialdehyde–acetaldehyde adducts (MAA), advanced glycation end-products (AGE), carbamylation (CarP), citrullination, acetylation and nitration) were tested using ELISA in sera of 349 patients with SLE (mean age 44±13 years; 87% female) and compared with 108 healthy controls. Levels and positivity were correlated with clinical features and SLE manifestations. Results Anti-MAA, anti-AGE and anti-CarP antibodies were more prevalent in SLE compared with controls (MAA: 29% vs 3%, AGE: 18% vs 4%, CarP: 14% vs 5%, all p≤0.0001). Anti-MAA and anti-AGE antibodies correlated with clinical manifestations and serological inflammatory markers. Patients with major NPSLE showed higher positivity of anti-MAA (39% vs 24%, p=0.01) and anti-CarP antibodies (20% vs 11%, p=0.04) than patients without major NPSLE. In addition, anti-PTM antibody levels correlated with brain volumes, an objective measure of nervous system involvement. Conclusions In our NPSLE cohort, a subset of patients with SLE have anti-PTM antibodies against MAA, AGE and CarP modified proteins. Interestingly, anti-MAA and anti-CarP were more prevalent in NPSLE, a manifestation for which no biomarkers exist.

Urinary Malondialdehyde (MDA) Concentrations in the General Population—A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis. TOXICS 2022; 10:toxics10040160.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has been associated with various inflammation-related human diseases. It is defined as an imbalance between the production and elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS can oxidize proteins, lipids, and DNA, and some of these oxidized products are excreted in urine, such as malondialdehyde (MDA), which is considered a biomarker for oxidative damage of lipids. To interpret changes of this biomarker as a measure of oxidative species overproduction in humans, a background range for urinary MDA concentration in the general population is needed. We sought to establish urinary MDA concentration ranges for healthy adult populations based on reported values in the available scientific literature. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis using the standardized protocol registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020146623). EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane library databases were searched from journal inception up to October 2020. We included 35 studies (divided into 47 subgroups for the quantitative analysis). Only studies that measured creatinine-corrected urinary MDA with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with mass spectrometry (MS), fluorescence detection, or UV photometry were included. The geometric mean (GM) of urinary MDA concentration was 0.10 mg/g creatinine and 95% percentile confidence interval (CI) 0.07–0.12. Age, geographical location but not sex, and smoking status had a significant effect on urinary MDA concentrations. There was a significant increasing trend of urinary MDA concentrations with age. These urinary MDA values should be considered preliminary, as they are based on mostly moderate to some low-quality evidence studies. Although urinary MDA can reliably reflect excessive oxidative stress in a population, the influence of physiological parameters that affect its meaning needs to be addressed as well as harmonizing the chemical analytical methods.

Abstract
Introduction Oxidative stress is one of many factors suspected to promote antinuclear autoantibody (ANA) formation. Reactive oxygen species can induce changes in the antigenic structure of macromolecules, causing the immune system to treat them as "neo-antigens" and start production of autoantibodies. This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between oxidative stress markers, lifestyle factors and the detection of ANA. Material and methods We examined measures of oxidative stress indices of free-radical damage to lipids and proteins, such as total oxidant status (TOS), concentration of protein thiol groups (PSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA), activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in 1731 serum samples. The parameters of the non-enzymatic antioxidant system, such as total antioxidant status (TAS) and uric acid (UA) concentration, were also measured and the oxidative stress index (OSI-index) was calculated. All samples were tested for the presence of ANA using an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIFA). Results The presence of ANA in women was associated with lower physical activity (p = 0.036), less frequent smoking (p = 0.007) and drinking of alcohol (p = 0.024) accompanied by significant changes in SOD isoenzymes activity (p < 0.001) and a higher uric acid (UA) concentration (p < 0.001). In ANA positive males we observed lower concentrations of PSH (p = 0.046) and increased concentrations of MDA (p = 0.047). Conclusions The results indicate that local oxidative stress may be associated with increased probability of ANA formation in a sex-specific manner.

Abstract
Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory skin condition that mainly affects the skin (cutaneous LP, CLP) and oral mucosa (oral LP, OLP). However, the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of the disease are not fully elucidated. Over time, several theories that could explain the appearance of LP lesions have been postulated. The key players in LP pathogenesis are the inflammatory infiltrate consisting of T cells and the proinflammatory cytokines. The cytokines stimulate the production of reactive oxygen species that induce cell apoptosis, a defining element encountered in LP. The lead inquiry triggered by this revolves around the role of oxidative stress in LP development. There are currently numerous studies showing the involvement of oxidative stress in OLP, but in terms of CLP, data are scarce. In this review, we analyze for the first time the currently existing studies on oxidative stress in CLP and summarize the results in order to assess the role of oxidative stress in skin lesions offering a fresher updated perspective.

Abstract
Seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by the presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein autoantibodies (ACPA) with different fine-specificities. Yet, other serum anti-modified protein autoantibodies (AMPA), e.g. anti-carbamylated (Carb), -acetylated (KAc), and malondialdehyde acetaldehyde (MAA) modified protein antibodies, have been described. In this comprehensive study, we analyze 30 different IgG and IgA AMPA reactivities to Cit, Carb, KAc, and MAA antigens detected by ELISA and autoantigen arrays in N=1985 newly diagnosed RA patients. Association with patient characteristics such as smoking and disease activity were explored. Carb and KAc reactivities by different assays were primarily seen in patients also positive for anti-citrulline reactivity. Modified vimentin (mod-Vim) peptides were used for direct comparison of different AMPA reactivities, revealing that IgA AMPA recognizing mod-Vim was mainly detected in subsets of patients with high IgG anti-Cit-Vim levels and a history of smoking. IgG reactivity to acetylation was mainly detected in a subset of patients with Cit and Carb reactivity. Anti-acetylated histone reactivity was RA-specific and associated with high anti-CCP2 IgG levels, multiple ACPA fine-specificities, and smoking status. This reactivity was also found to be present in CCP2+ RA-risk individuals without arthritis. Our data further demonstrate that IgG autoreactivity to MAA was increased in RA compared to controls with highest levels in CCP2+ RA, but was not RA-specific, and showed low correlation with other AMPA. Anti-MAA was instead associated with disease activity and was not significantly increased in CCP2+ individuals at risk of RA. Notably, RA patients could be subdivided into four different subsets based on their AMPA IgG and IgA reactivity profiles. Our serology results were complemented by screening of monoclonal antibodies derived from single B cells from RA patients for the same antigens as the RA cohort. Certain CCP2+ clones had Carb or Carb+KAc+ multireactivity, while such reactivities were not found in CCP2- clones. We conclude that autoantibodies exhibiting different patterns of ACPA fine-specificities as well as Carb and KAc reactivity are present in RA and may be derived from multireactive B-cell clones. Carb and KAc could be considered reactivities within the "Cit-umbrella" similar to ACPA fine-specificities, while MAA reactivity is distinctly different.

Anesth Analg 2021; 132:1475-1485.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a highly disabling cause of pain often precipitated by surgery or trauma to a limb. Both innate and adaptive immunological changes contribute to this syndrome. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) works through the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) transcription factor and other targets to activate antioxidant systems and to suppress immune system activation. We hypothesized that DMF would reduce nociceptive, functional, and immunological changes measured in a model of CRPS. METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice were used in the well-characterized tibial fracture model of CRPS. Some groups of mice received DMF 25 mg/kg/d orally, per os for 3 weeks after fracture versus vehicle alone. Homozygous Nrf2 null mutant mice were used as test subjects to address the need for this transcription factor for DMF activity. Allodynia was assessed using von Frey filaments and hindlimb weight-bearing data were collected. The markers of oxidative stress malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) were quantified in the skin of the fractured mice using immunoassays along with the innate immune system cytokines IL-1β and IL-6. The accumulation of IgM in the fractured limbs and lymph node hypertrophy were used as indexes of adaptive immune system activation, and the passive transfer of serum from wildtype fractured mice to B cell-deficient fractured muMT mice (mice lacking B cells and immunoglobulin) helped to assess the pronociceptive activity of humoral factors. RESULTS We observed that oral DMF administration strongly prevented nociceptive sensitization and reduced uneven hindlimb weight bearing after fracture. DMF was also very effective in reducing the accumulation of markers of oxidative stress, activation of innate immune mediator production, lymph node hypertrophy, and the accumulation of IgM in fractured limbs. The sera of fractured vehicle-treated but not DMF-treated mice conferred pronociceptive activity to recipient mice. Unexpectedly, the effects of DMF were largely unchanged in the Nrf2 null mutant mice. CONCLUSIONS Oxidative stress and immune system activation are robust after hindlimb fracture in mice. DMF strongly reduces activation of those systems, and the Nrf2 transcription factor is not required. DMF or drugs working through similar mechanisms might provide effective therapy for CRPS or other conditions where oxidative stress causes immune system activation.

Correlation between C-reactive Protein with Malondialdehyde in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients. Int J Rheumatol 2020; 2020:8078412. [PMID: 32695177 PMCID: PMC7350173 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8078412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2020] [Revised: 06/07/2020] [Accepted: 06/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by an inflammatory process. One of the inflammation markers that can be measured is C-reactive protein (CRP). Another indicator of inflammation is malondialdehyde (MDA), though it is still uncommon to be analyzed in SLE patients. The study looked for the MDA value and found a correlation with CRP. A cross-sectional study design with a correlative analytical was performed. CRP level data was taken from Hasan Sadikin lupus registry data, and MDA levels were analyzed from a bioarchive patient's serum. We collected the patients' data who had CRP level from Hasan Sadikin lupus registry and analysed MDA levels from the serum sample. MDA levels were analyzed using an ELISA method. The data obtained were analyzed using the Pearson correlation and Eta correlation test. The study involved 78 data patients as subjects. It was found that the median of CRP and MDA was 0.85 mg/l and 153.10 ng/ml, respectively. These results indicate that the CRP levels in SLE patients are still within normal limits. Statistical analysis showed no correlation between CRP and MDA level (r = 0.2, P > 0.05). Additionally, the correlation between CRP and MDA with organ involvement, such as lupus nephritis (LN), lupus cutaneous (LC), and lupus musculoskeletal (LM), showed no correlation (Fh < Ft). There is no correlation between CRP and MDA levels in SLE patients, and specific organ involvement of the disease does not affect the correlation.

Abstract
Aging significantly changes the ability to respond to vaccinations and infections. In this review, we summarize published results on age-related changes in response to infection with the influenza virus and on the factors known to increase influenza risk infection leading to organ failure and death. We also summarize how aging affects the response to the influenza vaccine with a special focus on B cells, which have been shown to be less responsive in the elderly. We show the cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to the dysfunctional immune response of the elderly to the vaccine against influenza. These include a defective interaction of helper T cells (CD4+) with B cells in germinal centers, changes in the microenvironment, and the generation of immune cells with a senescence-associated phenotype. Finally, we discuss the effects of aging on metabolic pathways and we show how metabolic complications associated with aging lead to immune dysfunction.

Abstract
The subset of pro-inflammatory B cells, called late memory, tissue-like or double negative (DN), accumulates in the blood of elderly individuals. Here we show that DN B cells do not proliferate and do not make antibodies to influenza antigens, but they secrete antibodies with autoimmune reactivity, in agreement with their membrane phenotype (CD95+CD21-CD11c+) and their spontaneous expression of the transcription factor T-bet. These cells also increase in the blood of individuals with obesity and autoimmune diseases, but causative mechanisms and signaling pathways involved are known only in part. In the present paper we compare frequencies and metabolic requirements of these cells in the blood of healthy individuals of different ages and in the blood and the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) of individuals with obesity. Results show that DN B cells from young individuals have minimal metabolic requirements, DN B cells from elderly and obese individuals utilize higher amounts of glucose to perform autoimmune antibody production and enroll in aerobic glycolysis to support their function. DN B cells from the SAT have the highest metabolic requirements as they activate oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation. DN B cells from the SAT also show the highest levels of ROS and the highest levels of phosphorylated AMPK (5'-AMP activated kinase) and Sestrin 1, both able to mitigate stress and cell death. This metabolic advantage drives DN B cell survival and function (secretion of autoimmune antibodies).

Mass Spectrometry-Based Methodologies for Targeted and Untargeted Identification of Protein Covalent Adducts (Adductomics): Current Status and Challenges. High Throughput 2019; 8:ht8020009. [PMID: 31018479 PMCID: PMC6631461 DOI: 10.3390/ht8020009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2019] [Revised: 04/18/2019] [Accepted: 04/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Protein covalent adducts formed upon exposure to reactive (mainly electrophilic) chemicals may lead to the development of a wide range of deleterious health outcomes. Therefore, the identification of protein covalent adducts constitutes a huge opportunity for a better understanding of events underlying diseases and for the development of biomarkers which may constitute effective tools for disease diagnosis/prognosis, for the application of personalized medicine approaches and for accurately assessing human exposure to chemical toxicants. The currently available mass spectrometry (MS)-based methodologies, are clearly the most suitable for the analysis of protein covalent modifications, providing accuracy, sensitivity, unbiased identification of the modified residue and conjugates along with quantitative information. However, despite the huge technological advances in MS instrumentation and bioinformatics tools, the identification of low abundant protein covalent adducts is still challenging. This review is aimed at summarizing the MS-based methodologies currently used for the identification of protein covalent adducts and the strategies developed to overcome the analytical challenges, involving not only sample pre-treatment procedures but also distinct MS and data analysis approaches.
