What's new in autoinflammatory diseases?

Abstract

The concept of auto-inflammation was initially coined to define the group of mendelian disorders characterized by recurrent inflammatory symptoms. The core of this group mainly consists of hereditary recurrent fevers, which has been lately enlarged to other inflammatory mendelian disorders as well as to some sporadic diseases with a genetic component relevant to innate immunity. Cryopyrin, the product of the CIAS1/PYPPAF1/NALP3/NLRP gene, whose mutations underline some mendelian syndromes (Mückle-Wells and chronic infantile neurological cutaneous and articular (CINCA), familial cold urticaria) can now be considered as a major factor of the regulation of interleukin-1 production within the multiprotein complex called inflammasome. This discovery has lit up our view of innate immunity. The contribution of the innate immunity mechanisms in inflammatory disorders have led to a new look to the current nosology of this vast group of diseases and to suggest a classification with two poles. The first would be defined by the predominance of auto-inflammation, whereas in the second one auto-immunity predominates.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
