Abstract
Autoinflammatory bone disorders are a group of diseases characterized by sterile osteomyelitis. This includes chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis and the monogenic forms, Majeed syndrome and deficiency of the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. These disorders result from innate immune system dysregulation and cytokine imbalance that triggers inflammasome activation causing downstream osteoclastogenesis and excessive bone remodeling. In this review, we will summarize the immunopathogenesis of pediatric autoinflammatory bone diseases with a special focus on the genetics and inborn errors of immunity, while briefly touching on the clinical manifestations and management of each disease as well as areas for future research.

Abstract
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, debilitating skin disease for which few treatment options are available. While most HS is sporadic, some rare kindred show a high-penetrance, autosomal-dominant inheritance. We wanted to identify rare variants that could contribute to HS risk in sporadic cases using candidate gene sequencing. We ultimately identified 21 genes for our capture panel. We included genes of the γ-secretase complex (n = 6) because rare variants in these genes sometimes cause familial HS. We added Notch receptor and ligand genes (n = 13) because γ-secretase is critical for processing Notch receptor signaling. Clinically, some people with PAPA (pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne) syndrome, a rare inflammatory disease, have concurrent HS. Rare variants in PSTPIP1 are known to cause PAPA syndrome, so we included PSTPIP1 and PSTPIP2 in the capture panel. We screened 117 individuals with HS for rare variations and calculated the expected burden using Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) allele frequencies. We discovered two pathogenic loss-of-function variants in NCSTN. This class of NCSTN variant can cause familial HS. There was no increased burden of rare variations in any γ-secretase complex gene. We did find that individuals with HS had a significantly increased number of rare missense variants in the SH3 domain of PSTPIP1. This finding, therefore, implicates PSTPIP1 variation in sporadic HS and further supports dysregulated immunity in HS. Our data also suggests that population-scale HS genetic research will yield valuable insights into disease pathology.

The Inflammasomes Adaptor Protein PYCARD Is a Potential Pyroptosis Biomarker Related to Immune Response and Prognosis in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14204992. [PMID: 36291776 PMCID: PMC9599636 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14204992] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 10/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Inflammation has been recognized as one of the hallmarks of cancers. PYCARD, the adaptor protein of inflammasomes, plays an important role in pyroptosis and apoptosis. However, the function of PYCARD remains unclear in human cancers. Here, we systematically performed a comprehensive analysis of PYCARD expression and its relationship with immunotherapy response and prognosis. We found significant differences in PYCARD expression between tumor and normal tissue, particularly in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. We also found that PYCARD was an unfavorable prognostic factor and was confirmed by external validation cohorts. Exploration of the profound mechanisms of PYCARD might help to identify new therapeutic targets and improve the efficacy of immunotherapy. Abstract PYCARD is a protein engaged in inflammation, pyroptosis, and apoptosis. However, the function of PYCARD in human cancers remains unclear. The objective of our study was to explore PYCARD expression and prognostic value in human cancers. Public databases were used to assess PYCARD expression and prognostic value. The TISIDB database was used to explore the associations between PYCARD expression and different immune subtypes. The correlations between PYCARD expression and ICP genes, MMR genes, MSI, and TMB were also investigated. The immunotherapy response was assessed using the TIDE database. Single-cell RNA databases evaluated the PYCARD expression of immune cells. External datasets and immunohistochemical staining were conducted to validate PYCARD expression and prognostic value. The results showed that PYCARD expression varied in several cancers and was associated with prognosis, immune-related genes, published biomarkers, and immunotherapy response. Of note, PYCARD expression was upregulated in renal cancers with high diagnostic ability. Upregulation of PYCARD was correlated with worse prognosis in KIRC and external validation cohorts. In conclusion, PYCARD demonstrated strong correlations with prognosis, immune response, and disease progression in pan-cancer analysis. In ccRCC, PYCARD might serve as a biomarker for diagnosis and therapeutic target-boosting immunotherapy response.

Hyper-Methylated Hub Genes of T-Cell Receptor Signaling Predict a Poor Clinical Outcome in Lung Adenocarcinoma. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:5426887. [PMID: 35432532 PMCID: PMC9007647 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5426887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2022] [Revised: 02/19/2022] [Accepted: 02/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) emerge as the first-line treatment of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD); selection of subpopulations acquiring clinical benefit is required. Associations between epigenetic modulation of tumor microenvironment (TME) and clinical outcome are far from clear. We focused on immune-related genes closely regulated by DNA methylation to identify the potential clinical outcome indicators. Methods We systematically calculated immunophenotype score (IMpS) and classified immunophenotypes based on seven TME features in three independent cohorts. The overlapping of differential expressed genes and methylated probes targeted genes was regarded as genes closely regulated by DNA methylation. Then, probe/gene pairs which highly correlated with each other and IMpS were identified and named as immune-related probe/gene pairs (mIMg). Prognostic mIMg were selected and verified in seven independent validation cohorts. Results Three immune phenotypes were clustered, and similar results were obtained in the three independent training cohorts. C2 displayed as an immunologically hot phenotype, whereas C3 corresponded with immunologically cold phenotype. Average methylation level was decreased from C2 to C3 (C2 > C1 > C3). Similarly, ICIs nonresponders showed global hypo-methylation compared with responders. Genes in mIMg were mainly enriched, especially in T-cell receptor activation, and repressed in noninflamed TME by hyper-methylation. Among mIMg, low expression and hyper-methylation of CD247, LCK, and PSTPIP1 were risk factors of overall survival (OS). ICIs nonresponders were more likely to be hyper-methylated in the three genes. By integrating with the oncogenes status, we demonstrated that EGFR wt and SRGN overexpressed patients were associated with chronic inflammation and immune evasion, showing an immunologically hot phenotype, which might lead to the short OS but derive clinical benefit from ICIs. Conclusions This study identifies hyper-methylation and concurrent repression of CD247, LCK, PSTPIP1 as immune negative indicators and risk factors for prognosis in LUAD. Moreover, EGFR/SRGN axis may participate in immune modification to influence ICIs response and clinical outcome in LUAD.

World J Clin Cases 2021; 9:6393-6402. [PMID: 34435004 PMCID: PMC8362586 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v9.i22.6393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2021] [Revised: 04/07/2021] [Accepted: 05/08/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by severe autoimmune inflammation, caused by mutations in the PSTPIP1 gene. Due to PAPA heterogeneous clinical manifestation, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnoses are difficult to avoid. With the use of whole-exome sequencing, we identified a missense mutation in the PSTPIP1 gene in a Chinese family. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of PAPA reported in China.
CASE SUMMARY A 9-year-old boy suffered from recurrent aseptic pyogenic arthritis triggered by minor trauma or few obvious predisposing causes for more than 3 years. Pyogenic arthritis occurred every 3-5 mo, affecting his knees, elbows, and ankle joints. Treatments, such as glucocorticoids, antibiotics, even surgeries could alleviate joints pain and swelling to some extent but could not inhibit the recurrence of arthritis. Similar symptoms were present in his younger brother but not in his parents. According to the whole-exome sequencing, a missense mutation in exon 11 of the PSTPIP1 gene (c.748G>C; p.E250Q) was detected in the boy, his younger brother and his father. Taking into account the similar phenotypic features with PAPA syndrome reported previously, we confirmed a diagnosis of PAPA syndrome for the family.
CONCLUSION In this case, a missense mutation (c.748G>C; p.E250Q) in PSTPIP1 gene was identified in a Chinese family with PAPA syndrome. Previous studies emphasize the fact that PAPA syndrome is hard to diagnose just through the clinical manifestations owing to its heterogeneous expression. Genetic testing is an effectual auxiliary diagnostic method, especially in the early stages of pyogenic arthritis. Only if we have a deep understanding and rich experience of this rare disease can we make a prompt diagnosis, develop the best clinical treatment plan, and give good fertility guidance.

Abstract
PSTPIP1-associated myeloid-related proteinemia inflammatory (PAMI) syndrome caused by mutations in PSTPIP1 is a rare inflammatory disorder that can be easily misdiagnosed. It is characterized by anemia, arthritis, cutaneous inflammation, recurrent infections, growth failure, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, hyperzincemia/hypercalprotectinemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and elevated inflammatory indicators. This study describes the cases of two pediatric female patients with long-standing recurrent arthralgia in different parts of the extremities and severe anemia, respectively, who were misdiagnosed and treated for aseptic necrosis of the femoral head and severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia, respectively. High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed a de novo heterozygous missense mutation (c.748G > A, p. Glu250Lys) in exon 11 of PSTPIP1 (NM_003978.5) in both patients, which supported a diagnosis of PAMI. The patients were treated with prednisone and etanercept, which improved their symptoms, but neutropenia remained unchanged. These cases highlight the importance of genetic assessment for the accurate diagnosis of PAMI and to ensure adequate and timely treatment of these patients.

Abstract
In the last decade, new scientific findings significantly improved our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of autoinflammation and have resulted in the identification and definition of several pyoderma gangrenosum-associated autoinflammatory syndromes (PGAAIS) as new and distinct clinical entities. These different clinical entities include PAPA (pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum and acne conglobata), PASH (pyoderma gangrenosum, acne and suppurative hidradenitis), PAPASH (pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, suppurative hidradenitis and pyogenic arthritis), PsAPASH (pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, suppurative hidradenitis and psoriatic arthritis), PASS (pyoderma gangrenosum, acne conglobata, suppurative hidradenitis, and axial spondyloarthritis) and PAC (pyoderma gangrenosum, acne and ulcerative colitis), which can be distinguished by their clinical presentation and the presence or absence of mutations in several genes, such as the genes encoding proline-serine-threonine phosphatase-interacting protein 1 (PSTPIP1), nicastrin (NCSTN), Mediterranean fever (MEFV) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein (NOD). In this systematic review, we summarize the present knowledge of this rapidly developing hot topic and provide a guide to enable the easy diagnosis of these syndromes in everyday clinical practice. Moreover, we report a rare case of PASS syndrome demonstrating successful treatment with adalimumab and another case of a previously unreported combination of symptoms, including psoriatic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, suppurative hidradenitis and Crohn’s disease (newly coined PsAPSC), as examples. Because of the identification of similar genetic and pathogenic mechanisms of PGAAIS, we think the wide variety of seemingly different syndromes may represent distinct phenotypes of one disease. New scientific findings improved the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of autoinflammation. There is a similar genetic background and clinical findings of PGAAIS. Because of the similar genetic and pathogenic mechanisms of PGAAIS may represent distinct phenotypes of one disease. We present a 4-sep guide to enable the easy diagnosis of theses disease in clinical practice.

Abstract
The interaction between CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) and CD2 plays a vital role in lymphocyte adhesion and T cells activation in mammals. In this study, a CD2AP gene (GenBank accession number: MK579862; designated as On-CD2AP) was identified from tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Sequence analysis showed that On-CD2AP protein shares high similarity with mammals, including three Src homology 3 (SH3) domains, a section of poly proline motif and a coiled coil region. Transcription levels of On-CD2AP were detected in nine tissues of healthy Nile tilapia, and the highest expression levels were detected in the spleen and gill. On-CD2AP were significantly up-regulated in thymus, head kidney and brain after infected by Streptococcus agalactiae, as well as in head kidney leukocytes (HKLs) with LPS and LTA stimulation. Moreover, a section conserved pro-rich motif that are responsible for binding of CD2 to CD2AP were found in the CD2 cytoplasmic sequence of Nile tilapia (On-CD2C). A weak interaction between On-CD2AP and On-CD2C was proved by yeast two-hybrid assay. In addition, the recombinant proteins of CD2AP-His (rOn-CD2AP-His) and GST-CD2C (GST-rOn-CD2C) were obtained through prokaryotic expression system. His pull-down assay showed that rOn-CD2AP-His and GST-rOn-CD2C could bind to each other. These findings indicate that CD2AP is crucial in immune response during S.agalactiae infection, and the mechanism of interaction between CD2AP and CD2 is conservative in Nile tilapia.

Abstract
Pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum and acne (PAPA) syndrome is a rare autosomal-dominant autoinflammatory disease of incomplete penetrance and variable expression. PAPA syndrome is the result of a mutation in the proline serine threonine phosphatase-interacting protein 1 (PSTPIP1/CD2BP1) gene located on chromosome 15, which results in an abnormal overproduction of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1). This syndrome clinically manifests as early onset of recurrent episodes of acute aseptic inflammation of the joints, generally occurring in the first two decades of life, followed by manifestation of characteristic skin lesions in the third decade, after an obvious decline in the joint symptoms. Although uncommon, the potential clinical implications of PAPA syndrome warrant an appropriate diagnosis in a timely fashion.

Proline-serine-threonine phosphatase interacting protein 1 (PSTPIP1) controls immune synapse stability in human T cells. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2018; 142:1947-1955. [PMID: 29432774 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2018.01.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2017] [Revised: 01/03/2018] [Accepted: 01/29/2018] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Proline-serine-threonine phosphatase interacting protein 1 (PSTPIP1) is a cytosolic adaptor protein involved with T-cell activation, differentiation, and migration. On cognate T-cell contact, PSTPIP1 is recruited to surface-expressed CD2, where it regulates F-actin remodeling. An immune synapse (IS) is thereby rapidly formed, consisting of T-cell receptor clusters surrounded by a ring of adhesion molecules, including CD2. OBJECTIVE From genetic screening of patients with primary immunodeficiencies, we identified 2 mutations in PSTPIP1, R228C and T274M, which we further characterized in the primary patients' T cells. METHODS F-actin dynamics were assessed in primary T cells from the patients and control subjects by using fluorescence-activated cell sorting. HEK293T and Jurkat cells were transfected with R228C, T274M, and wild-type PSTPIP1 to visualize F-actin in IS formation. CD2-PSTPIP1 association was quantified through immunoprecipitation assays. RESULTS The patients presented with immunodeficiency without signs of autoinflammation. The patient with the R228C mutation had expansion of mostly naive phenotype T cells and few memory T cells; the patient with the T274M mutation had 75% reduction in CD4 T cells that were predominantly of the memory subset. We observed F-actin polymerization defects in T cells from both patients with PSTPIP1, most notably the patient with the T274M mutation. Capping of CD2-containing membrane microdomains was disrupted. Analysis of IS formation using Jurkat T-cell transfectants revealed a reduction in F-actin accumulation at the IS, again especially in cells from the patient with the T274M PSTPIP1 mutation. T cells from the patient with the T274M mutation migrated spontaneously at increased speed, as assessed in a 3-dimensional collagen matrix, whereas T-cell receptor cross-linking induced a significantly diminished calcium flux. CONCLUSIONS We propose that PSTPIP1 T-cell differentiation defects are caused by defective control of F-actin polymerization. A preactivated polymerized F-actin status, as seen in T cells from patients with the PSTPIP1 T274M mutation, appears particularly damaging. PSTPIP1 controls IS formation and cell adhesion through its function as an orchestrator of the F-actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Acne vulgaris is a ubiquitary skin disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the pilosebaceous unit resulting from bacterial colonization of hair follicles by Propionibacterium acnes, androgen-induced increased sebum production, altered keratinization and inflammation. Here, we review our current understanding of the genetic architecture of this intriguing disease. We analysed genomewide association studies (GWAS) and candidate genes studies for acne vulgaris. Moreover, we included GWAS studies for the associated disease polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Overall, the available data revealed sixteen genetic loci flagged by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), none of which has been confirmed yet by independent studies. Moreover, a GWAS for PCOS identified 21 susceptible loci. The genetic architecture is complex which has been revealed by GWAS. Further and larger studies in different populations are required to confirm or disprove results from candidate gene studies as well to identify signals that may overlap between different populations. Finally, studies on rare genetic variants in acne and associated diseases like PCOS may deepen our understanding of its pathogenesis.

Abstract
CD2 is expressed on the surfaces of virtually all T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. In mammals, the CD2 molecule is 50 kDa. The cytoplasmic tail of CD2 interacts with CD2-associated protein (CD2AP), which plays an important role in mediating the trigger signal in outer magnetic pole cells. In this study, we identified CD2AP from rock bream and investigated its gene expression. The ORF of CD2AP (1950 bp) encodes 650 amino acids (aa). CD2AP has a Src homology 3 (SH3) domain. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed that CD2AP shows higher expression in the gills and skin. Under experimental challenge, CD2AP gene expression was increased as relative to the control after 7 days. This result will improve our understanding of blood vessels in teleost fish, and will provide a basis for the study of CD2-related genes.

Alarming consequences - autoinflammatory disease spectrum due to mutations in proline-serine-threonine phosphatase-interacting protein 1. Curr Opin Rheumatol 2017; 28:550-9.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To give an overview about the expanding spectrum of autoinflammatory diseases due to mutations in proline-serine-threonine phosphatase-interacting protein 1 (PSTPIP1) and new insights into their pathogenesis. RECENT FINDINGS In addition to classical pyogenic sterile arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA) syndrome, PSTPIP1-associated myeloid-related proteinemia inflammatory (PAMI) syndrome has been described as a distinct clinical phenotype of PSTPIP1-associated inflammatory diseases (PAID) and other entities are emerging. In addition to dysregulation of IL-1ß release from activated PAPA monocytes that requires NLR family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), PSTPIP1 mutations have an general impact on cellular dynamics of cells of the innate immune system. In addition, overwhelming expression and release of the alarmins myeloid-related protein (MRP) 8 and 14 by activated phagocytes and keratinocytes, which promote innate immune mechanisms in a Toll like receptor (TLR) 4-dependent manner, are a characteristic feature of these diseases and form a positive feed-back mechanism with IL-1ß. SUMMARY Autoinflammatory diseases due to PSTPIP1 mutations are not restricted to the classical PAPA phenotype but might present with other distinct clinical features. MRP8/14 serum levels are a hallmark of PAPA and PAMI and can be used as screening tool to initiate targeted genetic testing in suspected cases. The feedback mechanism of IL-1ß and MRP-alarmin release may offer novel targets for future therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
The cluster of differentiation 2 (CD2), functioning as a cell adhesion and costimulatory molecule, plays a crucial role in T-cell activation. In this paper, the CD2 gene of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (designated as On-CD2) was cloned and its expression pattern under the stimulation of Streptococcus agalactiae was investigated. Sequence analysis showed On-CD2 protein consists of two extracellular Ig-like domains, a transmembrane region, and a long proline-rich cytoplasmic tail, which is a hallmark of CD2, and several important structural characteristics required for T-cell activation were detected in the deduced amino acid sequence of On-CD2. In healthy tilapia, the On-CD2 transcripts were mainly detected in the head kidney, spleen, blood and thymus. Moreover, there was a clear time-dependent expression pattern of On-CD2 after immunized by formalin-inactivated S. agalactiae and the expression reached the highest level at 12 h in the brain and head kidney, 48 h in the spleen, and 72 h in the thymus, respectively. This is the first report on the expression of CD2 induced by bacteria vaccination in teleosts. These findings indicated that On-CD2 may play an important role in the immune response to intracellular bacteria in Nile tilapia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperzincemia and hypercalprotectinemia (Hz/Hc) is a distinct autoinflammatory entity involving extremely high serum concentrations of the proinflammatory alarmin myeloid-related protein (MRP) 8/14 (S100A8/S100A9 and calprotectin). OBJECTIVE We sought to characterize the genetic cause and clinical spectrum of Hz/Hc. METHODS Proline-serine-threonine phosphatase-interacting protein 1 (PSTPIP1) gene sequencing was performed in 14 patients with Hz/Hc, and their clinical phenotype was compared with that of 11 patients with pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA) syndrome. PSTPIP1-pyrin interactions were analyzed by means of immunoprecipitation and Western blotting. A structural model of the PSTPIP1 dimer was generated. Cytokine profiles were analyzed by using the multiplex immunoassay, and MRP8/14 serum concentrations were analyzed by using an ELISA. RESULTS Thirteen patients were heterozygous for a missense mutation in the PSTPIP1 gene, resulting in a p.E250K mutation, and 1 carried a mutation resulting in p.E257K. Both mutations substantially alter the electrostatic potential of the PSTPIP1 dimer model in a region critical for protein-protein interaction. Patients with Hz/Hc have extremely high MRP8/14 concentrations (2045 ± 1300 μg/mL) compared with those with PAPA syndrome (116 ± 74 μg/mL) and have a distinct clinical phenotype. A specific cytokine profile is associated with Hz/Hc. Hz/Hc mutations altered protein binding of PSTPIP1, increasing interaction with pyrin through phosphorylation of PSTPIP1. CONCLUSION Mutations resulting in charge reversal in the y-domain of PSTPIP1 (E→K) and increased interaction with pyrin cause a distinct autoinflammatory disorder defined by clinical and biochemical features not found in patients with PAPA syndrome, indicating a unique genotype-phenotype correlation for mutations in the PSTPIP1 gene. This is the first inborn autoinflammatory syndrome in which inflammation is driven by uncontrolled release of members of the alarmin family.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disease that usually presents in childhood with recurrent sterile arthritis. As the child ages into puberty, cutaneous features develop and arthritis subsides. We report the case of a now 25-year-old male patient with PAPA syndrome with the E250K mutation in PSTPIP1. We also present a systematic literature review of other PAPA cases. METHOD We conducted a literature search of PubMed using the following search terms: E250K mutation, PSTPIP1, and PAPA. RESULTS PAPA syndrome is caused by mutations on chromosome 15q affecting the proline-serine-threonine phosphatase-interacting protein 1 (PSTPIP1) gene, also known as CD2-binding protein 1 (CD2BP1). The reported cases of PAPA syndrome currently in the literature involve mutations in A230T and E250Q. One case of a novel E250K mutation has been reported, which presented with a different phenotype to previously described cases of PAPA syndrome. CONCLUSION With variation present between disease presentations from case to case, it is possible that the spectrum of PAPA syndrome is wider than currently thought. Further research is needed which may uncover an as-yet undiscovered genetic abnormality linking these interrelated diseases together.

Abstract
Proline-serine-threonine phosphatase interacting protein 1 (PSTPIP1) is an adaptor protein associated with the cytoskeleton that is mainly expressed in hematopoietic cells. Mutations in PSTPIP1 cause the rare autoinflammatory disease called pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne. We carried out this study to further our knowledge on PSTPIP1 function in T cells, particularly in relation to the phosphatase lymphoid phosphatase (LYP), which is involved in several autoimmune diseases. LYP-PSTPIP1 binding occurs through the C-terminal homology domain of LYP and the F-BAR domain of PSTPIP1. PSTPIP1 inhibits T-cell activation upon T-cell receptor (TCR) and CD28 engagement, regardless of CD2 costimulation. This function of PSTPIP1 depends on the presence of an intact SH3 domain rather than on the F-BAR domain, indicating that ligands of the F-BAR domain, such as the PEST phosphatases LYP and PTP-PEST, are not critical for its negative regulatory role in TCR signaling. Additionally, PSTPIP1 mutations that cause the pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum and acne syndrome do not affect PSTPIP1 function in T-cell activation through the TCR.

Abstract
The CSF-1 receptor (CSF-1R) is activated by the homodimeric growth factors colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and interleukin-34 (IL-34). It plays important roles in development and in innate immunity by regulating the development of most tissue macrophages and osteoclasts, of Langerhans cells of the skin, of Paneth cells of the small intestine, and of brain microglia. It also regulates the differentiation of neural progenitor cells and controls functions of oocytes and trophoblastic cells in the female reproductive tract. Owing to this broad tissue expression pattern, it plays a central role in neoplastic, inflammatory, and neurological diseases. In this review we summarize the evolution, structure, and regulation of expression of the CSF-1R gene. We discuss the structures of CSF-1, IL-34, and the CSF-1R and the mechanism of ligand binding to and activation of the receptor. We further describe the pathways regulating macrophage survival, proliferation, differentiation, and chemotaxis downstream from the CSF-1R.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the genotypes, phenotypes, immunophenotypes, and treatments of PAPA syndrome (pyogenic sterile arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne), a rare autoinflammatory disease, in 5 patients. METHODS Clinical information was gathered from medical records and through interviews with 5 patients from 4 kindreds. PSTPIP1 (CD2BP1) exon 10 and exon 11 sequencing was performed in each patient. Neutrophil granule content and cytokine levels were determined in plasma and stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients and controls. RESULTS We identified 2 previously described PAPA syndrome-associated PSTPIP1 mutations, A230T and E250Q, and a novel change, E250K. Disease penetrance was incomplete, with variable expressivity. The cutaneous manifestations included pathergy, cystic acne, and pyoderma gangrenosum. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and circulating neutrophil granule enzyme levels were markedly elevated in patients compared to those in controls. PBMC stimulation studies demonstrated impaired production of IL-10 and enhanced production of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Good resolution of pyoderma gangrenosum was achieved in 3 patients with tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) blockade treatment. CONCLUSION This analysis of 5 patients demonstrates that mutations in PSTPIP1 are incompletely penetrant and variably expressed in the PAPA syndrome. Neutrophil granule proteins are markedly elevated ex vivo and in the plasma, and elevated levels might be compatible with a diagnosis of PAPA syndrome. TNFα blockade appears to be effective in treating the cutaneous manifestations of PAPA syndrome.

Abstract
Abstract
Fas ligand (FasL) not only induces apoptosis in Fas receptor-bearing target cells, it is also able to transmit signals into the FasL-expressing cell via its intracellular domain (ICD). Recently, we described a Notch-like proteolytic processing of FasL that leads to the release of the FasL ICD into the cytoplasm and subsequent translocation into the nucleus where it may influence gene transcription. To study the molecular mechanism underlying such reverse FasL signaling in detail and to analyze its physiological importance in vivo, we established a knockout/knockin mouse model, in which wild-type FasL was replaced with a deletion mutant lacking the ICD. Our results demonstrate that FasL ICD signaling impairs activation-induced proliferation in B and T cells by diminishing phosphorylation of phospholipase C γ, protein kinase C, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2. We also demonstrate that the FasL ICD interacts with the transcription factor lymphoid-enhancer binding factor-1 and inhibits lymphoid-enhancer binding factor-1–dependent transcription. In vivo, plasma cell numbers, generation of germinal center B cells, and, consequently, production of antigen-specific immunoglobulin M antibodies in response to immunization with T cell–dependent or T cell–independent antigen are negatively affected in presence of the FasL ICD, suggesting that FasL reverse signaling participates in negative fine-tuning of certain immune responses.

Abstract
Fas ligand (FasL, CD95L, APO-1L, CD178, TNFSF6, APT1LG1) is the key death factor of receptor-triggered programmed cell death in immune cells. FasL/Fas-dependent apoptosis plays a pivotal role in activation-induced cell death, termination of immune responses, elimination of autoreactive cells, cytotoxic effector function of T and NK cells, and the establishment of immune privilege. Deregulation or functional impairment of FasL threatens the maintenance of immune homeostasis and defense and results in severe autoimmunity. In addition, FasL has been implicated as an accessory or costimulatory receptor in T cell activation. The molecular mechanisms underlying this reverse signaling capacity are, however, poorly understood and still controversially discussed. Many aspects of FasL biology have been ascribed to selective protein-protein interactions mediated by a unique polyproline region located in the membrane-proximal intracellular part of FasL. Over the past decade, we and others identified a large number of putative FasL-interacting molecules that bind to this polyproline stretch via Src homology 3 or WW domains. Individual interactions were analyzed in more detail and turned out to be crucial for the lysosomal storage, the transport and the surface appearance of the death factor and potentially also for reverse signaling. This review summarizes the work in the framework of the Collaborative Research Consortium 415 (CRC 415) and provides facts and hypotheses about FasL-interacting proteins and their potential role in FasL biology.

Abstract
PAPA syndrome (Pyogenic Arthritis, Pyoderma gangrenosum, and Acne) is an autosomal dominant, hereditary auto-inflammatory disease arising from mutations in the PSTPIP1/CD2BP1 gene on chromosome 15q. These mutations produce a hyper-phosphorylated PSTPIP1 protein and alter its participation in activation of the "inflammasome" involved in interleukin-1 (IL-1β) production. Overproduction of IL-1β is a clear molecular feature of PAPA syndrome. Ongoing research is implicating other biochemical pathways that may be relevant to the distinct pyogenic inflammation of the skin and joints characteristic of this disease. This review summarizes the recent and rapidly accumulating knowledge on these molecular aspects of PAPA syndrome and related disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE Aseptic abscesses syndrome (AA) is an inflammatory disease in which non-infectious deep abscesses develop; these respond quickly to corticosteroids. AA is associated with Crohn disease (CD) in 57% of cases and with neutrophilic dermatosis (ND) in 20%. Pyoderma gangrenosum is usually a sporadic ND. A hereditary autosomal dominant syndromic kind of pyoderma gangrenosum, the PAPA syndrome, is linked to mutations in the CD2BP1/PSTPIP1 gene. We systematically screened this gene in French AA patients. RESULTS One microsatellite (CCTG)n with 3 alleles was identified in the promoter. The longest form (CCTG)7 was significantly more frequent in AA patients than in French controls (P = 0.0154). We also found an association of the (CCTG)7 allele with CD in French patients (P = 0.0351). This association was not found in a sample of Indian patients. CONCLUSIONS The CCTG repeat in the PSTPIP1 promoter may play a role in the pathogenesis of AA and of CD. Further investigations are required to demonstrate the possible modulation of gene expression by the (CCTG)n motif.

Abstract
Evidence strongly suggests that excessive or protracted signaling, or both, by cell-surface or intracellular innate immune receptors is central to the pathogenesis of most autoimmune and autoinflammatory rheumatic diseases. The initiation of aberrant innate and adaptive immune responses in autoimmune diseases can be triggered by microbes and, at times, by endogenous molecules--particularly nucleic acids and related immune complexes--under sterile conditions. By contrast, most autoinflammatory syndromes are generally dependent on germline or de novo gene mutations that cause or facilitate inflammasome assembly. The consequent production of proinflammatory cytokines, principally interferon-alpha/beta and tumor necrosis factor in autoimmune diseases, and interleukin-1beta in autoinflammatory diseases, leads to the creation of autoamplification feedback loops and chronicity of these syndromes. These findings have resulted in a critical reappraisal of pathogenetic mechanisms, and provide a basis for the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for these diseases.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-PEST is expressed in a wide variety of several cell types and is an efficient regulator of cell adhesion, spreading and migration. PTP-PEST-associating molecules are important in elucidating the function of PTP-PEST. Herein, we have identified protein phosphatase 1alpha (PP1alpha) as a novel PTP-PEST binding protein, and then we aimed to determine how PP1alpha contributes to the phosphorylation at Ser39 of PTP-PEST, whose phosphorylation suppresses PTP-PEST enzymatic activity. The HEK 293 cells overexpressing exogenous PTP-PEST were stimulated by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and the phosphorylation of PTP-PEST at Ser39 was evaluated using an anti-phospho-Ser39 PTP-PEST specific antibody (anti-pS39-PEST Ab). It was demonstrated that the phosphorylation at Ser39 detected by anti-pS39-PEST Ab was dependent on TPA treatment and a significant inverse correlation between the PTP activity of PTP-PEST and anti-pS39-PEST Ab-immunoreactive band intensity. The phosphorylation of Ser39 was suppressed by co-transfection of a plasmid encoding wild-type PP1alpha, but not by that of the dominant-negative PP1alpha mutant. Furthermore, TPA-induced phosphorylation could take place in PTP-PEST catalytic domain, but the phosphorylation of PTP-PEST catalytic domain could not be abrogated by co-transfection of a plasmid expressing wild-type PP1alpha. In conclusion, PP1alpha associates with the non-catalytic domain of PTP-PEST and regulates PTP activity via dephosphorylation of phospho-Ser39.

Abstract
The mouse Lupo (I282N) mutation in proline-serine-threonine phosphatase-interacting protein 2 (PSTPIP2) leads to reduced expression of PSTPIP2 that is associated with a macrophage-mediated autoinflammatory disease. Another mutation in PSTPIP2, L98P, termed chronic multifocal osteomyelits (cmo), leads to a disease in mice that resembles chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelits in humans. The cellular basis of cmo disease was investigated. cmo disease develops independently of lymphocytes and is cured by bone marrow transplantation. Macrophages, mast cells, and osteoclasts from cmo mice fail to express detectable PSTPIP2 protein. Asymptomatic Pstpip2(cmo/cmo) mice have increased circulating levels of macrophage inflammatory protein 1-alpha and interleukin-6, and their macrophages exhibit increased production of these inflammatory mediators, which is normalized by retroviral expression of wild-type PSTPIP2. Spleens of asymptomatic cmo mice contain increased numbers of macrophage precursors, and cmo mice mobilize more macrophage precursors in response to a sterile inflammatory stimulus. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 is elevated in cmo splenic macrophages, which also exhibit increased colony-stimulating factor-1-stimulated proliferation and increased extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 phosphorylation. PSTPIP2 overexpression in macrophages leads to the opposite phenotype. Thus, PSTPIP2 deficiency causes both an expansion of macrophage progenitors and increased responsiveness of mature macrophages to activating stimuli, which together prime the organism for exaggerated and sustained responses leading to autoinflammatory disease.

Abstract
The autoinflammatory diseases are characterized by seemingly unprovoked episodes of inflammation, without high-titer autoantibodies or antigen-specific T cells. The concept was proposed ten years ago with the identification of the genes underlying hereditary periodic fever syndromes. This nosology has taken root because of the dramatic advances in our knowledge of the genetic basis of both mendelian and complex autoinflammatory diseases, and with the recognition that these illnesses derive from genetic variants of the innate immune system. Herein we propose an updated classification scheme based on the molecular insights garnered over the past decade, supplanting a clinical classification that has served well but is opaque to the genetic, immunologic, and therapeutic interrelationships now before us. We define six categories of autoinflammatory disease: IL-1beta activation disorders (inflammasomopathies), NF-kappaB activation syndromes, protein misfolding disorders, complement regulatory diseases, disturbances in cytokine signaling, and macrophage activation syndromes. A system based on molecular pathophysiology will bring greater clarity to our discourse while catalyzing new hypotheses both at the bench and at the bedside.

Abstract
The proline-, glutamic acid-, serine- and threonine-rich (PEST) family of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) includes proline-enriched phosphatase (PEP)/lymphoid tyrosine phosphatase (LYP), PTP-PEST, and PTP-hematopoietic stem cell fraction (HSCF). PEP/LYP is a potent inhibitor of T-cell activation, principally by suppressing the activity of Src family protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs). This function seems to be dependent, at least in part, on the ability of PEP to bind C-terminal Src kinase (Csk), a PTK also involved in inactivating Src kinases. Interestingly, a polymorphism of LYP in humans (R620W) is a significant risk factor for autoimmune diseases including type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus. The R620W mutation may be a 'gain-of-function' mutation. In non-hematopoietic cells, PTP-PEST is a critical regulator of adhesion and migration. This effect correlates with the aptitude of PTP-PEST to dephosphorylate cytoskeletal proteins such as Cas, focal adhesion associated-kinase (FAK), Pyk2, and PSTPIP. While not established, a similar function may also exist in immune cells. Additionally, overexpression studies provided an indication that PTP-PEST may be a negative regulator of lymphocyte activation. Interestingly, mutations in a PTP-PEST- and PTP-HSCF-interacting protein, PSTPIP1, were identified in humans with pyogenic sterile arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA) syndrome and familial recurrent arthritis, two autoinflammatory diseases. These mutations abrogate the ability of PSTPIP1 to bind PTP-PEST and PTP-HSCF, suggesting that these two PTPs may be negative regulators of inflammation.

Abstract
FasL plays a central role in the induction of apoptosis within the immune system. It mediates activation-induced cell death (AICD) of T lymphocytes and contributes to the cytotoxic effector function of T and NK cells. Moreover, FasL is discussed as direct effector molecule for the establishment of immune privilege and tumour survival. Besides its death-promoting activity, FasL has been implicated in reverse signalling and might thus also play a role in T cell development and selection and the modulation of T cell activation. Considering these diverse functions, the overall FasL expression has to be tightly controlled to avoid unwanted damage. Based on an activation-associated transcriptional control, several post-transcriptional processes ensure a safe storage, a rapid mobilisation, a target-directed activity and a subsequent inactivation. Over the past years, the identification and characterisation of FasL-interacting proteins provided novel insight into the mechanisms of FasL transport, processing and reverse signalling, which might be exemplary also for the other members of the TNF family.

Abstract
The hereditary periodic fever syndromes encompass a rare group of diseases that have lifelong recurrent episodes of inflammatory symptoms and an acute phase response in common. Clinical presentation can mimic that of lymphoproliferative disorders and patients often go undiagnosed for many years. These syndromes follow an autosomal inheritance pattern, and the major syndromes are linked to specific genes, most of which are involved in regulation of the innate immune response through pathways of apoptosis, nuclear factor kappaBeta activation and cytokine production. In others, the link between the protein involved and inflammation is less clear. The recurrent inflammation can lead to complications, such as renal impairment due to amyloidosis and vasculitis, visual impairment, hearing loss, and joint destruction, depending on the specific syndrome. In recent years, treatment options for these diseases have improved significantly. Early establishment of an accurate diagnosis and start of appropriate therapy improves prognosis in these patients.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are important regulators of many cellular functions and a growing number of PTPs have been implicated in human disease conditions, such as developmental defects, neoplastic disorders, and immunodeficiency. Here, we review the involvement of PTPs in human autoimmunity. The leading examples include the allelic variant of the lymphoid tyrosine phosphatase (PTPN22), which is associated with multiple autoimmune diseases, and mutations that affect the exon-intron splicing of CD45 (PTPRC). We also find it likely that additional PTPs are involved in susceptibility to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Finally, we discuss the possibility that PTPs regulating the immune system may serve as therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Recruitment of signaling molecules to the cytoplasmic domains of the CD3 subunits of the T-cell receptor (TCR) is crucial for early T-cell activation. These transient associations either do or do not require tyrosine phosphorylation of CD3 immune tyrosine activation motifs (ITAMs). Here we show that the non-ITAM-requiring adaptor protein Nck forms a complex with an atypical PxxDY motif of the CD3epsilon tail, which encompasses Tyr166 within the ITAM and a TCR endocytosis signal. As suggested by the structure of the complex, we find that Nck binding inhibits phosphorylation of the CD3epsilon ITAM by Fyn and Lck kinases in vitro. Moreover, the CD3epsilon-Nck interaction downregulates TCR surface expression upon physiological stimulation in mouse primary lymph node cells. This indicates that Nck performs an important regulatory function in T lymphocytes by inhibiting ITAM phosphorylation and/or removing cell surface TCR via CD3epsilon interaction.

Abstract
In T lymphocytes, lipid rafts are preferred sites for signal transduction initiation and amplification. Many cell membrane receptors, such as the TCR, coreceptors, and accessory molecules associate within these microdomains upon cell activation. However, it is still unclear in most cases whether these receptors interact with rafts through lipid-based amino acid modifications or whether raft insertion is driven by protein-protein interactions. In murine T cells, a significant fraction of CD2 associates with membrane lipid rafts. We have addressed the mechanisms that control the localization of rat CD2 at the plasma membrane, and its redistribution within lipid rafts induced upon activation. Following incubation of rat CD2-expressing cells with radioactive-labeled palmitic acid, or using CD2 mutants with Cys226 and Cys228 replaced by alanine residues, we found no evidence that rat CD2 was subjected to lipid modifications that could favor the translocation to lipid rafts, discarding palmitoylation as the principal mechanism for raft addressing. In contrast, using Jurkat cells expressing different CD2 and Lck mutants, we show that the association of CD2 with the rafts fully correlates with CD2 capacity to bind to Lck. As CD2 physically interacts with both Lck and Fyn, preferentially inside lipid rafts, and reflecting the increase of CD2 in lipid rafts following activation, CD2 can mediate the interaction between the two kinases and the consequent boost in kinase activity in lipid rafts.

The Pombe Cdc15 Homology (PCH) proteins have emerged in many species as important coordinators of signaling pathways that regulate actomyosin assembly and membrane dynamics. The hallmark of the PCH proteins is the presence of a Fes/CIP4 homology-Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvsp (F-BAR) domain; therefore they are commonly referred to as F-BAR proteins. The prototype F-BAR protein, Cdc15p of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, has a role in the formation of the contractile actomyosin ring during cytokinesis. Vertebrate F-BAR proteins have an established role in binding phospholipids and they participate in membrane deformations, for instance, during the internalization of transmembrane receptors. This way the F-BAR proteins will function as linkers between the actin polymerization apparatus and the machinery regulating membrane dynamics. Interestingly, some members of the F-BAR proteins are implicated in inflammatory or neurodegenerative disorders and the observations can be expected to have clinical implications for the treatment of the diseases.

Abstract
The T-cell receptor beta (TCRbeta)/pre-TCRalpha (pTalpha) pre-TCR complex (pre-TCR) signals the expansion and differentiation of de-veloping thymocytes. Functional pro-perties of the pre-TCR rely on its unique pTalpha chain, which suggests the participation of specific intracellular adaptors. However, pTalpha-interacting molecules remain unknown. Here, we identified a polyproline-arginine sequence in the human pTalpha cytoplasmic tail that interacted in vitro with SH3 domains of the CIN85/CMS family of adaptors, and mediated the recruitment of multiprotein complexes involving all (CMS, CIN85, and CD2BP3) members. Supporting the physiologic relevance of this interaction, we found that 1 such adaptor, CMS, interacted in vivo with human pTalpha, and its expression was selectively up-regulated during human thymopoiesis in pre-TCR-activated thymocytes. Upon activation, pre-TCR clustering was induced, and CMS and polymerized actin were simultaneously recruited to the pre-TCR activation site. CMS also associated via its C-terminal region to the actin cytoskeleton in the endocytic compartment, where it colocalized with internalized pTalpha in traffic to lysosomal degradation. Notably, deletion of the pTalpha CIN85/CMS-binding motif impaired pre-TCR-mediated Ca(2+) mobilization and NFAT transcriptional activity, and precluded activation induced by overexpression of a CMS-SH3 N-terminal mutant. These results provide the first molecular evidence for a pTalpha intracellular adaptor involved in pre-TCR function.

Abstract
Cellular adhesion, motility, endocytosis, exocytosis and cytokinesis involve the coordinated reorganization of the cytoskeleton and of the plasma membrane. The 'Pombe Cdc15 homology' (PCH) family of adaptor proteins has recently been shown to coordinate the membrane and cytoskeletal dynamics involved in these processes by curving membranes, recruiting dynamin and controlling the architecture of the actin cytoskeleton. Mutations in PCH family members or proteins that interact with them are associated with autoinflammatory, neurological or neoplastic diseases. Here, we review the nature, actions and disease associations of the vertebrate PCH family members, highlighting their fundamental roles in the regulation of processes involving membrane-cytoskeletal interactions.

Abstract
Pombe Cdc15 homology (PCH) proteins have emerged in many species as important coordinators of signalling pathways that regulate actomyosin assembly and membrane dynamics. For example, the prototype PCH protein, Cdc15p of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, has a role in assembly of the contractile ring, which is needed to separate dividing cells. Recently, mammalian PCH proteins have been found to bind phospholipids and to participate in membrane deformation. These findings suggest that PCH proteins are crucial linkers of membrane dynamics and actin polymerization, for example, during the internalization of transmembrane receptors. Intriguingly, some members of the PCH protein family are mutated in neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases, which has implications for the identification of cures for such disorders.

Abstract
MST3 is a member of the sterile-20 protein kinase family with a unique preference for manganese ion as a cofactor in vitro; however, its biological function is largely unknown. Suppression of endogenous MST3 by small interference RNA enhanced cellular migration in MCF-7 cells with reduced expression of E-cadherin at the edge of migrating cells. The alteration of cellular migration and protruding can be rescued by RNA interference-resistant MST3. The expression of surface integrin and Golgi apparatus was not altered, but phosphorylation on tyrosine 118 and tyrosine 31 of paxillin was attenuated by MST3 small interfering RNA (siRNA). Threonine 178 was determined to be one of the two main autophosphorylation sites of MST3 in vitro. Mutant T178A MST3, containing alanine instead of threonine at codon 178, lost autophosphorylation and kinase activities. Overexpression of wild type MST3, but not the T178A mutant MST3, inhibited migration and spreading in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. MST3 could phosphorylate the protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-PEST and inhibit the tyrosine phosphatase activity of PTP-PEST. We conclude that MST3 inhibits cell migration in a fashion dependent on autophosphorylation and may regulate paxillin phosphorylation through tyrosine phosphatase PTP-PEST.

Abstract
PTP (protein-tyrosine phosphatase)-PEST is a ubiquitously expressed cellular regulator of integrin signalling. It has been shown to bind several molecules such as Shc, paxillin and Grb2, that are involved downstream of FAK (focal adhesion kinase) pathway. Through its specific association to p130cas and further dephosphorylation, PTP-PEST plays a critical role in cell-matrix interactions, which are essential during embryogenesis. We report here that ablation of the gene leads to early embryonic lethality, correlating well with the high expression of the protein during embryonic development. We observed an increased level of tyrosine phosphorylation of p130cas protein in E9.5 PTP-PEST(-/-) embryos, a first evidence of biochemical defect leading to abnormal growth and development. Analysis of null mutant embryos revealed that they reach gastrulation, initiate yolk sac formation, but fail to progress through normal subsequent developmental events. E9.5-10.5 PTP-PEST(-/-) embryos had morphological abnormalities such as defective embryo turning, improper somitogenesis and vasculogenesis, impaired liver development, accompanied by degeneration in both neuroepithelium and somatic epithelia. Moreover, in embryos surviving until E10.5, the caudal region was truncated, with severe mesenchyme deficiency and no successful liver formation. Defects in embryonic mesenchyme as well as subsequent failure of proper vascularization, liver development and somatogenesis, seemed likely to induce lethality at this stage of development, and these results confirm that PTP-PEST plays an essential function in early embryogenesis.

Abstract
Familial periodic fever syndromes, otherwise known as hereditary autoinflammatory syndromes, are inherited disorders characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and inflammation. The general hypothesis is that the innate immune response in these patients is wrongly tuned, being either too sensitive to very minor stimuli or turned off too late. The genetic background of the major familial periodic fever syndromes has been unraveled, and through research into the pathophysiology, a clearer picture of the innate immune system is emerging. After an introduction on fever, interleukin-1beta and inflammasomes, which are involved in the majority of these diseases, this manuscript offers a detailed review of the pathophysiology of the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes, familial Mediterranean fever, the syndrome of pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum and acne, Blau syndrome, TNF-receptor-associated periodic syndrome and hyper-IgD and periodic fever syndrome. Despite recent major advances, there are still many questions to be answered regarding the pathogenesis of these disorders.
