Lymphoid neogenesis in rheumatoid synovitis.
In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), tissue-infiltrating lymphocytes can be arranged in sophisticated organizations that resemble microstructures usually formed in secondary lymphoid organs. Molecular pathways and host risk factors involved in this process of lymphoid neogenesis remain to be defined. In a series of 64 synovial tissue biopsies, lymphoid follicles with germinal centers (GCs) were found ...
متن کاملEctopic lymphoid neogenesis is strongly associated with activation of the IL-23 pathway in rheumatoid synovitis
INTRODUCTION The functional relevance of synovial ectopic lymphoid neogenesis (ELN) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains unknown. As ELN correlates with the degree of tissue inflammation, we investigated whether ELN was associated with specific cytokine profiles. METHODS Synovial ELN was determined by immunohistology and long CD21 isoform (CD21L) expression. Cytokine expression was determined...
متن کاملB lymphocyte autoimmunity in rheumatoid synovitis is independent of ectopic lymphoid neogenesis.
B lymphocyte autoimmunity plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. The local production of autoantibodies and the presence of ectopic lymphoid neogenesis in the rheumatoid synovium suggest that these dedicated microenvironments resembling canonical lymphoid follicles may regulate the initiation and maturation of B cell autoimmunity. In this study, we assessed experiment...
متن کاملLymphoid neogenesis in melanoma
Metastatic melanoma lesions sometimes host ectopic lymphoid structures exhibiting ongoing adaptive immune responses. Here, we discuss how this finding fits in our current view of antitumor immunity.
متن کاملLymphoid Neogenesis and Tertiary Lymphoid Organs in Transplanted Organs
The progressive organization of immune effectors into functional ectopic lymphoid structures, named tertiary lymphoid organs (TLO), has been observed in many conditions in which target antigens fail to be eliminated by the immune system. Not surprisingly, TLO have been recurrently identified in chronically rejected allografts. Although significant progress has been made over the last decades in...
