Sjögren syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease with exocrine glands dysfunction and multiorgan involvement. It is associated with increased risk of lymphoproliferative disorders, especially B-cell marginal zone lymphoma. While the role of F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose position emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) for evaluation of lymphoma has been established, its use in patient...
Castleman's disease is an atypical lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by the prevalence of B CD5-positive cells in the marginal zone. Autoimmune manifestations have often been reported, but the association of Castleman's disease with systemic autoimmune syndromes has been rarely described. However, many authors stress the difficulties in distinguishing between connective tissue disease ...
Patients with mutations in Fas develop autoimmune lymphoproliferative disease (ALPS), while their family members with similar mutations are often normal, thereby suggesting that additional factors may play a role in the development of ALPS. In the current study, we tested the role of CD44 in the development of lymphoproliferative disease by generating CD44(-/-)/Fas(-/-) mice, which failed to ex...
Sjögren’s syndrome is a chronic autoimmune exocrinopathy associated with dry eyes and dry mouth as major clinical manifestations. It is characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of lacrimal and salivary glands and autoantibody production, especially anti-Ro (or SSA) and anti-La (or SSB). Lymphoproliferative disorders are a feature of Sjögren’s syndrome, and can be considered an extraglandular m...
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are a heterogeneous group of inherited diseases of the immune system. The definite diagnosis of PID is ascertained by genetic analysis; however, this takes time and is costly. Flow cytometry provides a rapid and highly sensitive tool for diagnosis of PIDs. Flow cytometry can evaluate specific cell populations and subpopulations, cell surface, intracellular and ...
Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is a rare disorder of apoptosis. It is frequently caused by mutations in FAS (TNFRSF6) gene. Unlike most of the self-limiting autoimmune cytopenias sporadically seen in childhood, multi lineage cytopenias due to ALPS are often refractory, as their inherited genetic defect is not going to go away. Historically, more ALPS patients have died due to ov...
While most of those infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) are asymptomatic or only develop liver manifestations, a significant percentage evolves with autoimmune and lymphoproliferative disorders, resulting in a clinical condition called HCV syndrome. This work involving case studies of six patients with hepatitis C and varied skin manifestation aimed to report skin lesions occurring with HCV i...
Fas preassociation required for apoptosis signaling and dominant inhibition by pathogenic mutations.
Heterozygous mutations encoding abnormal forms of the death receptor Fas dominantly interfere with Fas-induced lymphocyte apoptosis in human autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome. This effect, rather than depending on ligand-induced receptor oligomerization, was found to stem from ligand- independent interaction of wild-type and mutant Fas receptors through a specific region in the extracellu...
Caspases are cysteine proteases that mediate programmed cell death in phylogenetically diverse multicellular organisms. We report here two kindreds with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) type II, characterized by abnormal lymphocyte and dendritic cell homeostasis and immune regulatory defects, that harbor independent missense mutations in Caspase 10. These encode amino acid substit...
Why all the fuss about Fas? Fas seems to be essential for killing off the immune response before it goes out of control. Mice bearing spontaneous loss-of-function mutations in Fas and FasL have enlarged spleens and lymph glands, and some mouse strains have a form of autoimmunity, due to a defect in the elimination of activated lymphocytes. Mutations in Fas have also been described in children w...
