Association between Long Noncoding RNA ANRIL Expression Variants and Susceptibility to Coronary Artery Disease
Animal cells possess thousands of long non-coding (lnc) RNAs, such as antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) , which have regulatory roles in the cells’ molecular mechanisms, including X-chromosome inactivation, and developmental processes. These lnc RNAs are known to influence the extensive spectrum of age-related disorders. Accordingly, there is evidence for the role of...
متن کاملThe enigmatic autoimmune response in endemic pemphigus foliaceus.
Endemic pemphigus foliaceus, known as Fogo Selvagem (FS) in Brazil, is a disease characterized by subcorneal blisters and IgG4 anti-dermoglein 1 (Dsg1) autoantibodies. Epidemiological studies of FS strongly an environmental etiology. A 15-year surveillance of the Limao Verde Amerindian reservation in Brazil has uncovered information on the transition of the autoimmune response from the pre-clin...
متن کاملEndemic pemphigus foliaceus over a century: Part I
BACKGROUND Endemic pemphigus foliaceus (EPF) is the only known autoimmune disease presenting in circumscribed geographic areas. AIM We aim to provide information concerning the natural course of EPF, including systemic compromise in the presteroid era, which has been largely unavailable in the current medical literature. MATERIAL #ENTITYSTARTX00026; METHODS By a retrospective review of the...
متن کاملUltrastructural aspects of mucosas in endemic pemphigus foliaceus.
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether ultrastructural changes present in clinically normal oral mucosa could occur in the mucosas of patients with endemic pemphigus foliaceus (EPF) or fogo selvagem (wildfire). PATIENTS Surgical biopsy specimens were taken from the foreskin of 8 patients with EPF and 3 control subjects, the uterine cervix and vaginal wall of 9 patients with EPF and 2 controls, and ...
متن کاملPemphigus Vulgaris and Pemphigus Foliaceus
The word “pemphigus” is derived from the Greek term "pemphix” meaning bubble or blister. Pemphigus is a group of autoimmune diseases (see Table 4) characterized by intra-epithelial blistering, resulting in superficial vesicles or bullae that easily rupture, resulting in ulceration of mucosal and/or cutaneous sites. Although rare, pemphigus causes significant morbidity and potential mortality fo...
