A high prevalence of vitamin D (calcidiol) serum deficiency has been described in several autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (AR), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Vitamin is a potent immunonutrient that through its main metabolite calcitriol, regulates the immunomodulation macrophages, dendritic cells, T B lymphocytes, which express receptor (VDR), they produce respond to calcitriol. Genetic association studies have shown up 65% variance may be explained due genetic background. The 90% variability takes place form single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), SNPs genes related metabolism linked influence calcidiol levels, such as binding protein (VDBP; rs2282679 GC), 25-hydroxylase (rs10751657 CYP2R1), 1α-hydroxylase (rs10877012, CYP27B1) (FokI (rs2228570), BsmI (rs1544410), ApaI (rs7975232), TaqI (rs731236) VDR). Therefore, aim this comprehensive literature review was discuss current findings functional GC, CYP2R1, CYP27B1, VDR associated risk, most common clinical features MS, RA, SLE.

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an alkalinizing lysosomatropic drug that accumulates in lysosomes where it inhibits some important functions by increasing the pH. HCQ has proved to be effective a number of autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Areas covered: In this review mechanisms action, efficacy, and safety management patients with SLE have been reviewed. may reduce risk flares, allow reduction dosage steroids, organ damage, prevent thrombotic effects anti-phospholipid antibodies. The generally safe prescribed pregnant women. However, cautions are needed retinopathy, rare but serious complication prolonged use HCQ. Expert opinion: offer several advantages not only mild can also exert beneficial involvement low cost few side effects. These characteristics should encourage larger HCQ, involvement.

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is an extremely successful human herpes virus, which infects essentially all beings at some time during their life span. EBV infection and the associated immune response results in production of antibodies (seroconversion), occurs mainly first years life, but may also happen adolescence or later life. Infection adolescents can result infectious mononucleosis, acute serious condition characterized by massive lymphocytosis. Transmission through saliva rarely be spread semen blood, e.g. organ transplantations blood transfusions. transmission oral secretions epithelial cells oropharynx. From infect B cells, are major reservoir for other cell types become infected. As a result, shuttle between different types, cells. Moreover, since virus switch latent lytic cycle, has ability to cause chronic relapsing/reactivating infections. Chronic recurrent been linked systemic lupus erythematosus Sjögren's syndrome, whereas chronic/recurrent with rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis diseases. Accordingly, autoimmune diseases often occur as overlapping syndromes symptoms characteristic autoantibodies (e.g. antinuclear factors) reflecting and/or infection.

Targeted sequencing of sixteen SLE risk loci among 1349 Caucasian cases and controls produced a comprehensive dataset the variations causing susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Two independent disease association signals in HLA-D region identified two regulatory regions containing 3562 polymorphisms that modified thirty-seven transcription factor binding sites. These extensive functional are new potent facet HLA polymorphism. Variations modifying consensus motifs IRF4 CTCF XL9 complex HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1 HLA-DQB1 chromosome-specific manner, resulting 2.5-fold increase surface expression HLA-DR DQ molecules on dendritic cells with genotypes, which increases over 4-fold after stimulation. Similar analyses fifteen other 1206 variants tightly linked disease-associated SNPs demonstrated common alleles contain multiple causal modulating immune system genes.
