Innate Immune Response to Cytoplasmic DNA: Mechanisms and Diseases.

DNA has been known to be a potent immune stimulus for more than half a century. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of DNA-triggered immune response have remained elusive until recent years. Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is a major cytoplasmic DNA sensor in various types of cells that detect either invaded foreign DNA or aberrantly located self-DNA. Upon sensing of DNA, cGAS catalyzes the formation of cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), which in turn activates the ER-localized adaptor protein MITA (also named STING) to elicit the innate immune response. The cGAS-MITA axis not only plays a central role in host defense against pathogen-derived DNA but also acts as a cellular stress response pathway by sensing aberrantly located self-DNA, which is linked to the pathogenesis of various human diseases. In this review, we summarize the spatial and temporal mechanisms of host defense to cytoplasmic DNA mediated by the cGAS-MITA axis and discuss the association of malfunctions of this axis with autoimmune and other diseases.

Homotherapy for heteropathy: Interleukin-41 and its biological functions.

Interleukin-41 (IL-41) is a newly discovered cytokine, named Cometin, Subfatin, meteorin-like transcription (Metrnl), and so forth. It is widely expressed in animals and can exert its biological roles through autocrine and paracrine forms. It has functions such as anti-inflammatory, improving body metabolism, regulating immunity, regulating fat metabolism and participates in the process of autoimmune disease or inflammatory injury. It plays an important role in psoriasis, diabetes, Crohn's disease (CD), osteoarthritis, Kawasaki disease (KD), Graves' disease, autoimmune hepatitis, infertility, obesity, sepsis, cardiovascular diseases and respiratory diseases. This paper reviews the biological functions of IL-41, the relationship between IL-41 and diseases, the effects of IL-41 in the cytokine network and the possible signalling pathways. In order to explore the same target or the same drug for the treatment of different diseases from the perspective of homotherapy for heteropathy, cytokine strategies based on IL-41 have been put forward for the precise treatment of immune diseases and inflammatory diseases. It is worth noting that IL-41 related preparations for lung protection and smoking cessation are interesting research fields.

C5a peptidase (ScpA) activity towards human type II and type III interferons.

C5a peptidase, also known as ScpA, is a surface associated serine protease derived from Streptococcus pyogenes and has been described as an important factor in streptococcus virulence, capable of cleaving complement components C5a, C3 and C3a. Although the interactions of ScpA with complement components is well studied, extensive screening of ScpA activity against other pro-inflammatory cytokines is lacking. Here, ScpA's ability to cleave human pro-inflammatory cytokines was tested, revealing its ability to cleave human IFNγ, IFNλ1, IFNλ2, C5, IL-37 but with significantly reduced activities. The functional consequence of ScpA's cleavage of IFNγ in its signalling through the Jak-Stat pathway has also been evaluated in an in vitro RPE1 cell model. These newly identified targets for ScpA highlight the complexity of streptococcus infections and indeed, the potential for ScpA to have a therapeutic role in the progression of inflammatory diseases involving these cytokines.

Protective and stochastic correlation between infectious diseases and autoimmune disorders.

A priori, early exposure to a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and parasites appears to fortify and regulate the immune system, potentially reducing the risk of autoimmune diseases. However, improving hygiene conditions in numerous societies has led to a reduction in these microbial exposures, which, according to certain theories, could contribute to an increase in autoimmune diseases. Indeed, molecular mimicry is a key factor triggering immune system reactions; while it seeks pathogens, it can bind to self-molecules, leading to autoimmune diseases associated with microbial infections. On the other hand, a hygiene-based approach aimed at reducing the load of infectious agents through better personal hygiene can be beneficial for such pathologies. This review sheds light on how the evolution of the innate immune system, following the evolution of molecular patterns associated with microbes, contributes to our protection but may also trigger autoimmune diseases linked to microbes. Furthermore, it addresses how hygiene conditions shield us against autoimmune diseases related to microbes but may lead to autoimmune pathologies not associated with microbes.

The role of Bach2 in regulating CD8 + T cell development and function.

Bach2 was initially discovered in B cells, where it was revealed to control the transcription involved in cell differentiation. Bach2 is intimately connected to CD8 + T lymphocytes in various differentiation states and subsets according to recent findings. Bach2 can regulate primitive T cells, stimulate the development and differentiation of memory CD8 + T cells, inhibit the differentiation of effector CD8 + T cells, and play a significant role in the exhaustion of CD8 + T cells. The appearance and development of diseases are tightly linked to irregular CD8 + T cell differentiation and function. Accordingly, Bach2 offers novel approaches and possible targets for the clinical treatment of associated disorders based on research on these pathways. Here, we summarize the role of Bach2 in the function and differentiation of CD8 + T cells and its potential clinical applications.

Gut microbiota regulates gut homeostasis, mucosal immunity and influences immune-related diseases.

The intestinal microbiome constitutes a sophisticated and massive ecosystem pivotal for maintaining gastrointestinal equilibrium and mucosal immunity via diverse pathways. The gut microbiota is continuously reshaped by multiple environmental factors, thereby influencing overall wellbeing or predisposing individuals to disease state. Many observations reveal an altered microbiome composition in individuals with autoimmune conditions, coupled with shifts in metabolic profiles, which has spurred ongoing development of therapeutic interventions targeting the microbiome. This review delineates the microbial consortia of the intestine, their role in sustaining gastrointestinal stability, the association between the microbiome and immune-mediated pathologies, and therapeutic modalities focused on microbiome modulation. We emphasize the entire role of the intestinal microbiome in human health and recommend microbiome modulation as a viable strategy for disease prophylaxis and management. However, the application of gut microbiota modification for the treatment of immune-related diseases, such as fecal microbiota transplantation and probiotics, remain quite challenging. Therefore, more research is needed into the role and mechanisms of these therapeutics.

Perioperative NETosis and Cancer Progression: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The process of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation, called NETosis, is a peculiar death modality of neutrophils, which was first observed as an immune response against bacterial infection. However, an ongoing and exaggerated NETs formation may have adverse clinical consequences and even promote cancer progression. This review will discuss the complex relationship between NETosis and cancer progression. RECENT FINDINGS: NETs exhibits cancer-promoting effects by causing cancer metastaisis and tumor-associated thrombosis. Many studies have found that many mechanisms are involved in the process, and the corresponding targets could be applied for cancer therapy. Although NETs may have anti-bacteria effects, it is necessary to inhibit an excessive NETs formation, mostly showing cancer-promoting effects. The contribution of NETs to cancer progression has gained a growing appreciation and the approaches to targeting NETs deposition exhibited beneficial effects both in primary and metastatic tumors, which, however, has been challenged by a recent finding demonstrating an opposite effect of NETs to suppress tumor growth via the activation of immune response against tumor. This seeming discrepancy reflects we are in the early stage of NETs study facing fundamental questions and a better understanding of the underlying mechanism is urgently needed.

ß-arrestin2: an emerging player and potential therapeutic target in inflammatory immune diseases.

ß-arrestin2, a pivotal protein within the arrestin family, is localized in the cytoplasm, plasma membrane and nucleus, and regulates G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) signaling. Recent evidence shows that ß-arrestin2 plays a dual role in regulating GPCRs by mediating desensitization and internalization, and by acting as a scaffold for the internalization, kinase activation, and the modulation of various signaling pathways, including NF-κB, MAPK, and TGF-ß pathways of non-GPCRs. Earlier studies have identified that ß-arrestin2 is essential in regulating immune cell infiltration, inflammatory factor release, and inflammatory cell proliferation. Evidently, ß-arrestin2 is integral to the pathological mechanisms of inflammatory immune diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, sepsis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, organ fibrosis, and tumors. Research on the modulation of ß-arrestin2 offers a promising strategy for the development of pharmaceuticals targeting inflammatory immune diseases. This review meticulously describes the roles of ß-arrestin2 in cells associated with inflammatory immune responses and explores its pathological relevance in various inflammatory immune diseases.

Biochemical study of ZNF76 rs10947540 and SCUBE3 rs1888822 single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Egyptian patients with systemic lupus Erythematosus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a common autoimmune disease marked by the formation of apoptotic debris and the presence of autoantibodies that target nuclear components. At this moment, the actual cause of SLE is uncertain. Genetic variables have been well proven to have a significant role in the propensity of SLE. This study aimed to investigate the effect of (ZNF76) rs (10947540) and (SCUBE) rs (1888822) gene polymorphism in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. A case control study has been carried out at Medical Biochemistry & Molecular biology and Rheumatology unit of Internal Medicine Departments, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia University, Egypt, for 1-year duration between 1 June 2022 and 1 June 2023. Sixty patients were females (75%) and twenty patients were males (25%). Their ages ranged from 19 to 53 years. Their disease durations ranged from 7 months to 20 years. The findings indicated that the TC genotype of the ZNF76 rs10947540 gene increases the risk of SLE by 2.274-fold, while the dominant TC + CC increases the risk by 2.472-fold, and the C allele increases the risk by 2.115-fold. Additionally, the results showed that the TT genotype of the SCUBE3 rs1888822 gene increases the risk of SLE by 3.702-fold, the dominant GT + TT increases the risk by 2.304-fold, and the T allele increases the risk by 2.089-fold, while the GT genotype increases the risk by 1.918-fold. The study revealed significant associations between the genotypes of these polymorphisms and certain clinical parameters in SLE patients. These findings highlight the potential genetic contributions to SLE susceptibility and its clinical manifestations, providing valuable insights for future research and potential personalized approaches to the management of this complex autoimmune disease.

Modelling of indirect cell-cell interaction networks mediated by IFNγ/IL-4 cytokine involved in atopic dermatitis.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an immune-driven inflammatory skin disease that is known to have a significantly high life-time prevalence in the human population. T-helper (Th) immune cells play a key role in the pathogenesis of AD which is marked by defects in the skin barrier function along with a significant increase in the population of either Th1 or Th2 sub-types of Th cells. The progression of AD from the acute to chronic phase is still poorly understood, and here we explore the mechanism of this transition through the study of a mathematical model for indirect cell-cell interactions among Th and skin cells via the secreted cytokines IFNγ and IL-4, both known to have therapeutic potential. An increase in the level of cytokine IFN γ can catalyse the transition of AD from an acute to a chronic stage, while an increase in the level of cytokine IL-4 has the reverse effect. In our model, the transition of AD from the acute to chronic stage and vice versa can be abrupt (switch-like) with hysteresis: this bistable behaviour can potentially be used to keep AD in the acute phase since therapy based on suppression of IFNγ can retard the transition to the chronic phase.

Neutrophil sub-types in maintaining immune homeostasis during steady state, infections and sterile inflammation.

INTRODUCTION: Neutrophils are component of innate immune system and a) eliminate pathogens b) maintain immune homeostasis by regulating other immune cells and c) contribute to the resolution of inflammation. Neutrophil mediated inflammation has been described in pathogenesis of various diseases. This indicates neutrophils do not represent homogeneous population but perform multiple functions through confined subsets. Hence, in the present review we summarize various studies describing the heterogeneous nature of neutrophils and associated functions during steady state and pathological conditions. METHODOLOGY: We performed extensive literature review with key words 'Neutrophil subpopulations' 'Neutrophil subsets', Neutrophil and infections', 'Neutrophil and metabolic disorders', 'Neutrophil heterogeneity' in PUBMED. RESULTS: Neutrophil subtypes are characterized based on buoyancy, cell surface markers, localization and maturity. Recent advances in high throughput technologies indicate the existence of functionally diverse subsets of neutrophils in bone marrow, blood and tissues in both steady state and pathological conditions. Further, we found proportions of these subsets significantly vary in pathological conditions. Interestingly, stimulus specific activation of signalling pathways in neutrophils have been demonstrated. CONCLUSION: Neutrophil sub-populations differ among diseases and hence, mechanisms regulating formation, sustenance, proportions and functions of these sub-types vary between physiological and pathological conditions. Hence, mechanistic insights of neutrophil subsets in disease specific manner may facilitate development of neutrophil-targeted therapies.

Association between endometriosis, infertility and autoimmune antiplatelet glycoprotein VI antibodies in two patients.

The association between endometriosis and autoimmune diseases is well known, however no acquired platelet function defect has been described so far. We describe the case of two patients with endometriosis associated with an antiplatelet glycoprotein VI (anti-GPVI) antibody. The two women with deep pelvic endometriosis associated with secondary infertility presented a mild bleeding tendency, a deficient platelet aggregation response to collagen, convulxin or CRP and a severe GPVI deficiency. Immunoblot revealed a combined FcRγ deficiency but no indication of GPVI cleavage. In the first case, platelet count was normal and an anti-GPVI IgG was detected in plasma. A first corticosteroids administration normalized in vitro platelet functions but further administrations were unsuccessful. Three IVF attempts failed. Conservative laparoscopic surgery was carried out after antifibrinolytic treatment without bleeding. The second case presented with a history of moderate thrombocytopenia and a weak anti-GPVI in the context of infertility and autoimmune disease, the Sjögren syndrome resolved after corticosteroids and hydroxychloroquine treatment. Acquired GPVI deficiencies are rare. It would be useful to determine whether the association with endometriosis is coincidental or not by more systematic investigations. It does not seem that in these patients, GPVI deficiency is associated with an increased risk of bleeding.

What is the context? • Evidence for an immune system dysfunction is reported in endometriosis and the association between endometriosis and autoimmune diseases is well known.• No autoimmune platelet function defect has been described so far.What is new?• We report two unrelated patients with endometriosis-associated infertility presenting a platelet glycoprotein VI deficiency due to an autoantibody.• In both cases, a deficient platelet aggregation response to collagen, convulxin or CRP and a severe GPVI deficiency were observed.• Immunoblot revealed no indication of GPVI cleavage.What is the impact? • Our observation raises the question whether GPVI could be a preferential target for the development of anti-GPVI autoantibodies associated with endometriosis.• It does not seem that in these patients, GPVI deficiency is associated with an increased risk of severe bleeding disorder.

Immune Diseases Associated with Aging: Molecular Mechanisms and Treatment Strategies.

Aging is associated with a decline in immune function, thereby causing an increased susceptibility to various diseases. Herein, we review immune diseases associated with aging, focusing on tumors, atherosclerosis, and immunodeficiency disorders. The molecular mechanisms underlying these conditions are discussed, highlighting telomere shortening, tissue inflammation, and altered signaling pathways, e.g., the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, as key contributors to immune dysfunction. The role of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype in driving chronic tissue inflammation and disruption has been examined. Our review underscores the significance of targeting tissue inflammation and immunomodulation for treating immune disorders. In addition, anti-inflammatory medications, including corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and novel approaches, e.g., probiotics and polyphenols, are discussed. Immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy and adoptive T-cell therapy, has been explored for its potential to enhance immune responses in older populations. A comprehensive analysis of immune disorders associated with aging and underlying molecular mechanisms provides insights into potential treatment strategies to alleviate the burden of these conditions in the aging population. The interplay among immune dysfunction, chronic tissue inflammation, and innovative therapeutic approaches highlights the importance of elucidating these complex processes to develop effective interventions to improve the quality of life in older adults.

Gut microbiome and autoimmune disorders.

Autoimmune diseases have long been known to share a common pathogenesis involving a dysregulated immune system with a failure to recognize self from non-self-antigens. This immune dysregulation is now increasingly understood to be induced by environmental triggers in genetically predisposed individuals. Although several external environmental triggers have been defined in different autoimmune diseases, much attention is being paid to the role of the internal micro-environment occupied by the microbiome, which was once termed "the forgotten organ." In this regard, the gut microbiome, serving as an intermediary between some of those external environmental effectors and the immune system, helps programming of the immune system to be tolerant to innocent external and self-antigens. However, in the presence of perturbed gut microbiota (dysbiosis), the immune system could be erroneously directed in favor of pro-inflammatory pathways to instigate different autoimmune processes. An accumulating body of evidence, including both experimental and human studies (observational and interventional), points to the role of the gut microbiome in different autoimmune diseases. Such evidence could provide a rationale for gut microbiome manipulation with therapeutic and even preventative intent in patients with established or predisposed to autoimmune diseases, respectively. Perturbations of the gut microbiome have been delineated in some immune mediated diseases, IBD in particular. However, such patterns of disturbance (microbiome signatures) and related pathogenetic roles of the gut microbiome are context dependent and cannot be generalized in the same exact way to other autoimmune disorders, and the contribution of the gut microbiome to different disease phenotypes has to be precisely defined. In this review, we revise the evidence for a role of the gut microbiome in various autoimmune diseases and possible mechanisms mediating such a role.

The metabolomics of a protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) knock-out mouse model.

INTRODUCTION: PKCδ is ubiquitously expressed in mammalian cells and its dysregulation plays a key role in the onset of several incurable diseases and metabolic disorders. However, much remains unknown about the metabolic pathways and disturbances induced by PKC deficiency, as well as the metabolic mechanisms involved. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to use metabolomics to further characterize the function of PKC from a metabolomics standpoint, by comparing the full serum metabolic profiles of PKC deficient mice to those of wild-type mice. METHODS: The serum metabolomes of PKCδ knock-out mice were compared to that of a wild-type strain using a GCxGC-TOFMS metabolomics research approach and various univariate and multivariate statistical analyses. RESULTS: Thirty-seven serum metabolite markers best describing the difference between PKCδ knock-out and wild-type mice were identified based on a PCA power value > 0.9, a t-test p-value < 0.05, or an effect size > 1. XERp prediction was also done to accurately select the metabolite markers within the 2 sample groups. Of the metabolite markers identified, 78.4% (29/37) were elevated and 48.65% of these markers were fatty acids (18/37). It is clear that a total loss of PKCδ functionality results in an inhibition of glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and steroid synthesis, accompanied by upregulation of the pentose phosphate pathway, fatty acids oxidation, cholesterol transport/storage, single carbon and sulphur-containing amino acid synthesis, branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), ketogenesis, and an increased cell signalling via N-acetylglucosamine. CONCLUSION: The charaterization of the dysregulated serum metabolites in this study, may represent an additional tool for the early detection and screening of PKCδ-deficiencies or abnormalities.

Genetic variants affecting chemical mediated skin immunotoxicity.

The skin is an immune-competent organ and this function may be impaired by exposure to chemicals, which may ultimately result in immune-mediated dermal disorders. Interindividual variability to chemical-induced skin immune reactions is associated with intrinsic individual characteristics and their genomes. In the last 30-40 years, several genes influencing susceptibility to skin immune reactions were identified. The aim of this review is to provide information regarding common genetic variations affecting skin immunotoxicity. The polymorphisms selected for this review are related to xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (CYPA1 and CYPB1 genes), antioxidant defense (GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 genes), aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling pathway (AHR and ARNT genes), skin barrier function transepidermal water loss (FLG, CASP14, and SPINK5 genes), inflammation (TNF, IL10, IL6, IL18, IL31, and TSLP genes), major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and neuroendocrine system peptides (CALCA, TRPV1, ACE genes). These genes present variants associated with skin immune responses and diseases, as well as variants associated with protecting skin immune homeostasis following chemical exposure. The molecular and association studies focusing on these genetic variants may elucidate their functional consequences and contribution in the susceptibility to skin immunotoxicity. Providing information on how genetic variations affect the skin immune system may reduce uncertainties in estimating chemical hazards/risks for human health in the future.

IgG-aggregates rapidly upregulate FcgRI expression at the surface of human neutrophils in a FcgRII-dependent fashion: A crucial role for FcgRI in the generation of reactive oxygen species.

Autoimmune complexes are an important feature of several autoimmune diseases such as lupus, as they contribute to tissue damage through the activation of immune cells. Neutrophils, key players in lupus, interact with immune complexes through Fc gamma receptors (FcgR). Incubation of neutrophils with aggregated-IgGs caused degranulation and increased the surface expression of FcgRI within minutes in a concentration-dependent fashion. After 30 minutes, IgG aggregates (1 mg/mL) upregulated FcgRI by 4.95 ± 0.45-fold. FcgRI-positive neutrophils reached 67.24% ± 6.88% on HA-IgGs stimulated neutrophils, from 3.12% ± 1.62% in non-stimulated cells, ranking IgG-aggregates among the most potent known agonists. FcgRIIa, and possibly FcgRIIIa, appeared to mediate this upregulation. Also, FcgRI-dependent signaling proved necessary for reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in response to IgG-aggregates. Finally, combinations of bacterial materials with aggregates dramatically boosted ROS production. This work suggests FcgRI as an essential component in the response of human neutrophils to immune complexes leading to the production of ROS, which may help explain how neutrophils contribute to tissue damage associated with immune complex-associated diseases, such as lupus.

Overcome the tumor immunotherapy resistance by combination of the HDAC6 inhibitors with antitumor immunomodulatory agents.

Tumor immunotherapy is currently subject of intense scientific and clinical developments. In previous decade, therapists used natural immune system from the human body to treat several diseases. Although tumor immune disease is a big challenge, combinatorial therapeutic strategy has been succeeded to show the clinical significance. In this context, we discuss the HDAC6 and tumor immune diseases relationship. Also, we summarized the current state of knowledge that based on the combination treatments of the HDAC6 inhibitors (HDAC6is) with antitumor immunomodulatory agents. We observed that, the combination therapies slow down the tumor immune diseases by blocking the aggresome and proteasome pathway. The combination therapy was able to reduce M2 macrophage and increasing PD-L1 blockade sensitivity. Most importantly, multiple combinations of HDAC6is with other agents may consider as potential strategies to treat tumor immune diseases, by reducing the side effects and improve efficacy for the future clinical development.

Identification of Potential Pleiotropic Genes for Immune and Skeletal Diseases Using Multivariate MetaCCA Analysis.

Background: Immune and skeletal systems physiologically and pathologically interact with each other. Immune and skeletal diseases may share potential pleiotropic genetics factors, but the shared specific genes are largely unknown. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the overlapping genetic factors between multiple diseases (including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, sarcopenia, and fracture). Methods: The canonical correlation analysis (metaCCA) approach was used to identify the shared genes for six diseases by integrating genome-wide association study (GWAS)-derived summary statistics. The versatile Gene-based Association Study (VEGAS2) method was further applied to refine and validate the putative pleiotropic genes identified by metaCCA. Results: About 157 (p<8.19E-6), 319 (p<3.90E-6), and 77 (p<9.72E-6) potential pleiotropic genes were identified shared by two immune diseases, four skeletal diseases, and all of the six diseases, respectively. The top three significant putative pleiotropic genes shared by both immune and skeletal diseases, including HLA-B, TSBP1, and TSBP1-AS1 (p

Experience of Autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases in a Turkish pediatric cohort with primary immunodeficiencies.

BACKGROUND: Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) are the diseases characterized by a dysfunction of the immune system. Affected patients share a different phenotype such as chronic infections, allergy, autoimmunity, and autoinflammation. METHODS: In all, 433 children with PID were enrolled in this study. Clinical, laboratory, and demographic data of patients were reviewed retrospectively to investigate autoimmune and autoinflammatory complications. Autoinflammation in all patients with inflammation was confirmed by genetic analysis after excluding infectious etiology. RESULTS: Clinical features of 433 PID patients were evaluated retrospectively with long-term follow-up. Autoimmune disorders were identified in 69 (15.9%) patients with PID; 31 (45%) patients had a history of autoimmune disease before diagnosis of PID. The frequency of autoimmunity in immune dysregulation subgroup (76.6%) was higher than other forms of PID. The most common autoimmune manifestations were reported to be Addison's disease, hypoparathyroidism, and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Autoinflammation were identified in 22 of the 433 (5.1%) patients with PID, including hyper immunoglobulin D syndrome (n = 9), Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome 1 (n = 6), adenosine deaminase 2 deficiency (n = 3), Blau syndrome (n = 2), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated periodic syndrome (n = 1), and auto-inflammation and phospholipase Cγ2-associated antibody deficiency and immune dysregulation syndrome (n = 1). CONCLUSIONS: It is important to recognize association between autoimmunity, autoinflammation, and PID, which in the future could be useful for increased awareness and early diagnosis for these diseases.
