Abstract: International audience; Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been shown to induce many B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders. B lymphocytes are specialized in producing immunoglobulins, and within chronic HCV infection they can cause a range that goes from polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia without clinical repercussions, passing by mixed cryoglobulinemic vasculitis and eventually reaching B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This spectrum is supported by substantial epidemiological, pathophysiological and therapeutic data. Many, although not all, pathogenic pathways leading from one extreme to another have been decrypted. Chronic viral antigen stimulation of B lymphocytes has a central role until the last steps towards overt malignancy. This has direct implications in treatment strategies, which always include the use of direct-acting antiviral agents sometimes associated with immunosuppressants. The role of direct-acting antiviral agents has been well established in patients with cryoglobulinemia vasculitis. Its positive impact on B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma needs to be confirmed in larger studies with longer follow-up.

Abstract: BackgroundCOVID-19 diabetic adults are at increased risk of severe forms irrespective of obesity. In patients with type-II diabetes, fat distribution is characterized by visceral and ectopic adipose tissues expansion, resulting in systemic inflammation, which may play a role in driving the COVID-19 cytokine storm. Our aim was to determine if cardiac adipose tissue, combined to interleukin-6 levels, could predict adverse short-term outcomes, death and ICU requirement, in COVID-19 diabetic patients during the 21 days after admission.MethodsEighty one consecutive patients with type-II diabetes admitted for COVID-19 were included. Interleukin-6 measurement and chest computed tomography with total cardiac adipose tissue index (CATi) measurement were performed at admission. The primary outcome was death during the 21 days following admission while intensive care requirement with or without early death (ICU-R) defined the secondary endpoint. Associations of CATi and IL-6 and threshold values to predict the primary and secondary endpoints were determined.ResultsOf the enrolled patients (median age 66 years [IQR: 59–74]), 73% male, median body mass index (BMI) 27 kg/m2[IQR: 24–31]) 20 patients had died from COVID-19, 20 required intensive care and 41 were in conventional care at day 21 after admission. Increased CATi and IL-6 levels were both significantly related to increased early mortality (respectively OR = 6.15, p = 0.002; OR = 18.2,p p = 0.01; OR = 4.86,p = 0.002). These associations remained significant independently of age, sex, BMI as well as troponin-T level and pulmonary lesion extension in CT. We combined CATi and IL-6 levels as a multiplicative interaction score (CATi*IL-6). The cut-point for this score was ≥ 6386 with a sensitivity of 0.90 and a specificity of 0.87 (AUC = 0.88) and an OR of 59.6 for early mortality (p ConclusionsCardiac adipose tissue index and IL-6 determination at admission could help physicians to better identify diabetic patients with a potentially severe and lethal short term course irrespective of obesity. Diabetic patients with high CATi at admission,a fortioriassociated with high IL-6 levels could be a relevant target population to promptly initiate anti-inflammatory therapies.

Abstract: International audience; Exostosin (EXT) 1 and EXT2 proteins are recently discovered major components of the subepithelial deposits in a subset of patients with membranous nephropathy (MN).1,2 Although the detection of EXT1/2 seems to be a distinctive feature of MN related to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),1 the exact frequency of EXT-positive, SLE-associated MN (SLE-MN) and its potential clinical significance are not well determined.Here, we retrospectively evaluated 86 consecutive patients with biopsy-proven pure class 5 SLE-MN diagnosed between January 2010 and December 2018 in 2 nephropathology centers (La Pitié Salpêtrière and Tenon hospitals) in Paris, France; mixed classes (3 + 5 and 4 + 5 of the 2003 ISN/Renal Pathology Society classification)3 were excluded.

Abstract: International audience; Inorganic antigens may contribute to paediatric sarcoidosis. Thirty-six patients matched with 36 healthy controls as well as a group of 21 sickle-cell disease (SCD) controls answered an environmental questionnaire. Patients' indirect exposure to inorganic particles, through coresidents' occupations, was higher than in healthy and SCD controls (median score: 2.5 (0.5-7) vs 0.5 (0-2), p=0.003 and 1 (0-2), p=0.012, respectively), especially for construction, exposures to metal dust, talc, abrasive reagents and scouring products. Wood or fossil energies heating were also linked to paediatric sarcoidosis. This study supports a link between mineral environmental exposure due to adult coresident occupations and paediatric sarcoidosis.

Abstract: International audience; Background: Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal disease due to a deficiency in the activity of the lysosomal α-galactosidase A (GalA), a key enzyme in the glycosphingolipid degradation pathway. FD is a complex disease with a poor genotype–phenotype correlation. FD could involve kidney, heart or central nervous system impairment that significantly decreases life expectancy. The advent of omics technologies offers the possibility of a global, integrated and systemic approach well-suited for the exploration of this complex disease. Materials and Methods: Sixty-six plasmas of FD patients from the French Fabry cohort (FFABRY) and 60 control plasmas were analyzed using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry-based targeted metabolomics (188 metabolites) along with the determination of LysoGb3 concentration and GalA enzymatic activity. Conventional univariate analyses as well as systems biology and machine learning methods were used. Results: The analysis allowed for the identification of discriminating metabolic profiles that unambiguously separate FD patients from control subjects. The analysis identified 86 metabolites that are differentially expressed, including 62 Glycerophospholipids, 8 Acylcarnitines, 6 Sphingomyelins, 5 Aminoacids and 5 Biogenic Amines. Thirteen consensus metabolites were identified through network-based analysis, including 1 biogenic amine, 2 lysophosphatidylcholines and 10 glycerophospholipids. A predictive model using these metabolites showed an AUC-ROC of 0.992 (CI: 0.965–1.000). Conclusion: These results highlight deep metabolic remodeling in FD and confirm the potential of omics-based approaches in lysosomal diseases to reveal clinical and biological associations to generate pathophysiological hypotheses.

Abstract: Background: Pulmonary affection (PA) is associated with a substantial increase in morbidity and mortality in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). However, the underlying immune mechanisms of PA remain enigmatic and prompt deeper immunological analyses. Importantly, the Janus-faced role of natural killer (NK) cells, capable of pro-inflammatory as well as regulatory effects, might be of interest for the pathophysiologic understanding of PA in IIM. Methods: To extend our understanding of immunological alterations in IIM patients with PA, we compared the signatures of NK cells in peripheral blood using multi-color flow cytometry in IIM patients with (n = 12, of which anti-synthetase syndrome = 8 and dermatomyositis = 4) or without PA (n = 12). Results: We did not observe any significant differences for B cells, CD4, and CD8 T cells, while total NK cell numbers in IIM patients with PA were reduced compared to non-PA patients. NK cell alterations were driven by a particular decrease of CD56dim NK cells, while CD56bright NK cells remained unchanged. Comparisons of the cell surface expression of a large panel of NK receptors revealed an increased mean fluorescence intensity of NKG2D+ on NK cells from patients with PA compared with non-PA patients, especially on the CD56dim subset. NKG2D+ and NKp46+ cell surface levels were associated with reduced vital capacity, serving as a surrogate marker for clinical severity of PA. Conclusion: Our data illustrate that PA in IIM is associated with alterations of the NK cell repertoire, suggesting a relevant contribution of NK cells in certain IIMs, which might pave the way for NK cell-targeted therapeutic approaches.

Abstract: HighlightsInnate immune activation during Covid-19 infection is associated with pernicious clinical outcome.BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is a worldwide threat that has already caused more than 3 000 000 deaths. It is characterized by different patterns of disease evolution depending on host factors among which old-age and pre-existing comorbidities play a detrimental role. Previous coronavirus epidemics, notably SARS-CoV, were associated with increased serum neopterin levels, which can be interpreted as a sign of acute innate immunity in response to viral infection. Here we hypothesize that neopterin may serve as a biomarker of SARS-CoV-2 viral infection and Covid-19 disease severity.MethodsWe measured neopterin blood levels by ELISA. Seric concentration was quantified from 256 healthy donors and 374 Covid-19 patients at hospital admission. Enrolled Covid-19 patients were all symptomatic and displayed a large spectrum of comorbidities. Patients were followed until disease resolution or death.ResultsSevere and critically ill SARS-CoV-2 infected patients were characterized by a profound exacerbation of immune activation characterized by elevated neopterin blood levels. Systemic neopterin levels above 19nM stratified healthy individuals from Covid-19 patients with 87% specificity and 100% sensitivity. Moreover, systemic neopterin levels above 53nM differentiated non-survivors from survivors with 64% specificity and 100% sensitivity.ConclusionWe propose that neopterin concentration measured at arrival to hospital is a hallmark of severe Covid-19 and identifies a high-risk population of pernicious clinical outcome with a need for special medical care.

Abstract: BackgroundDespite the deleterious consequences of iron deficiency (ID) in patients with cancer, underdiagnosis is frequent. The CARENFER study aimed to assess the prevalence of ID using both serum ferritin concentration and transferrin coefficient saturation (iron-saturation of transferrin, TSAT) index, as well as ID anaemia in patients with cancer.MethodsThis prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in 15 oncology units in France in 2019. All patients present in the medical unit during the 2-week study period, regardless of the type of tumour (solid or haematological) and treatment, were eligible. Serum ferritin concentration, TSAT index and haemoglobin level were determined. ID and ID-associated anaemia were defined according to European Society of Medical Oncology 2018 Guidelines: ID was defined either as ferritin ResultsA total of 1221 patients with different types of solid malignant tumours were analysed: median age 64 years; 89.4% under treatment for their cancer, mainly by chemotherapy (75.4%). Overall, ID was found in 57.9% (55.1–60.6) of patients. Among them, functional ID accounted for 64% of cases. ID anaemia was reported in 21.8% (19.6–24.2) of all patients with cancer. ID was highly prevalent in untreated (75/130, 57.4%) and non-anaemic (419/775, 54.1%) patients.ConclusionThis study highlights the high prevalence of ID in patients with cancer, whether or not associated with anaemia or treatment. These results emphasise the need to a better detection and management of ID in cancer, thereby optimising overall patient care.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03924271.

Abstract: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare autoimmune-mediated condition characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia (MAP2K1mutation, although peri-renal infiltration is highly suggestive of Erdheim-Chester disease. This overlapping association was described in men with mutation inMAP2K1gene. Macrophages are implicated in the pathophysiology of ITP in multiple ways, notably by the phagocytosis of opsonized platelets and their function of antigen-presenting cells able to stimulate autoreactive T cells. Histiocytic cells derivate from monocyte-macrophage lineage. Activation of macrophages in active histiocytosis is responsible for consequential platelet destruction in ITP associated histiocytosis. Finally, this case highlights a rare presentation of ITP revealing histiocytosis, both being efficiently treated with rituximab.

Abstract: International audience; Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a viral respiratory illness caused by the new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) rapidly spread around the world. Besides severe pneumonia with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), it has been more recently highlighted that SARS-CoV-2 could predispose to thrombotic disease, both in venous and arterial circulations.[1] Lung autopsy from severe COVID-19 patients revealed high recruitment of innate immune cells including neutrophils and macrophages contributing to the cytokine storm as well as microthrombi.[2] Given the central role of platelets in inflammation and thrombosis, and more specifically leucocyte–platelet aggregates that have been implicated in arterial and venous thrombosis, we aimed to explore neutrophil–platelet aggregate (NPA) and monocyte–platelet aggregate (MPA) in patients hospitalized in a medical ward for COVID-19 infection.

Abstract: The classification of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) is based on clinical, serological and histological criteria. The identification of myositis‐specific antibodies has helped to define more homogeneous groups of myositis into four dominant subsets: dermatomyositis (DM), antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS), sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) and immune‐mediated necrotising myopathy (IMNM). sIBM and IMNM patients present predominantly with muscle involvement, whereas DM and ASyS patients present additionally with other extramuscular features, such as skin, lung and joints manifestations. Moreover, the pathophysiological mechanisms are distinct between each myositis subsets. Recently, interferon (IFN) pathways have been identified as key players implicated in the pathophysiology of myositis. In DM, the key role of IFN, especially type I IFN, has been supported by the identification of an IFN signature in muscle, blood and skin of DM patients. In addition, DM‐specific antibodies are targeting antigens involved in the IFN signalling pathways. The pathogenicity of type I IFN has been demonstrated by the identification of mutations in the IFN pathways leading to genetic diseases, the monogenic interferonopathies. This constitutive activation of IFN signalling pathways induces systemic manifestations such as interstitial lung disease, myositis and skin rashes. Since DM patients share similar features in the context of an acquired activation of the IFN signalling pathways, we may extend underlying concepts of monogenic diseases to acquired interferonopathy such as DM. Conversely, in ASyS, available data suggest a role of type II IFN in blood, muscle and lung. Indeed, transcriptomic analyses highlighted a type II IFN gene expression in ASyS muscle tissue. In sIBM, type II IFN appears to be an important cytokine involved in muscle inflammation mechanisms and potentially linked to myodegenerative features. For IMNM, currently published data are scarce, suggesting a minor implication of type II IFN. This review highlights the involvement of different IFN subtypes and their specific molecular mechanisms in each myositis subset., Pathological role of interferon in dermatomyositis.

Abstract: Dermatomyositis (DM) is a systemic idiopathic inflammatory disease affecting skeletal muscle and skin, clinically characterized by symmetrical proximal muscle weakness and typical skin lesions. Recently, myositis‐specific autoantibodies (MSA) became of utmost importance because they strongly correlate with distinct clinical manifestations and prognosis. Antibodies against transcription intermediary factor 1γ (TIF‐1γ) are frequently associated with increased risk of malignancy, a specific cutaneous phenotype and limited response to therapy in adult DM patients. Anti‐Mi‐2 autoantibodies, in contrast, are typically associated with classic DM rashes, prominent skeletal muscle weakness, better therapeutic response and prognosis, and less frequently with cancer. Nevertheless, the sensitivity of autoantibody testing is only moderate, and alternative reliable methods for DM patient stratification and prediction of cancer risk are needed. To further investigate these clinically distinct DM subgroups, we herein analyzed 30 DM patients (n = 15 Mi‐2+ and n = 15 TIF‐1 γ+) and n = 8 non‐disease controls (NDC). We demonstrate that the NanoString technology can be used as a very sensitive method to clearly differentiate these two clinically distinct DM subgroups. Using the nCounter PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel™, we identified a set of significantly dysregulated genes in anti‐TIF‐1γ+ patient muscle biopsies including VEGFA, DDX58, IFNB1, CCL5, IL12RB2, and CD84. Investigation of type I IFN‐regulated transcripts revealed a striking type I interferon signature in anti‐Mi‐2+ patient biopsies. Our results help to stratify both subgroups and predict, which DM patients require an intensified diagnostic procedure and might have a poorer outcome. Potentially, this could also have implications for the therapeutic approach., Dermatomyositis (DM) is a systemic idiopathic inflammatory disease affecting skeletal muscle and skin, clinically characterized by symmetrical proximal muscle weakness and typical skin lesions. Genetic profiling of anti‐TIF‐1γ+ and ‐Mi‐2+ dermatomyositis patients’ skeletal muscle biopsies revealed subgroup‐specific signatures, which helps to stratify both subgroups and predict, which DM patients require an intensified diagnostic procedure and might have a poorer outcome.

Abstract: Although idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a heterogeneous group of diseases nearly all patients display muscle inflammation. Originally, muscle biopsy was considered as the gold standard for IIM diagnosis. The development of muscle imaging led to revisiting not only the IIM diagnosis strategy but also the patients’ follow‐up. Different techniques have been tested or are in development for IIM including positron emission tomography, ultrasound imaging, ultrasound shear wave elastography, though magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the most widely used technique in routine. Whereas guidelines on muscle imaging in myositis are lacking here we reviewed the relevance of muscle imaging for both diagnosis and myositis patients’ follow‐up. We propose recommendations about when and how to perform MRI on myositis patients, and we describe new techniques that are under development., Muscle imaging and especially muscle MRI is a powerful technique for both IIM diagnosis and follow‐up. Muscle MRI is actually the best muscle imaging technique in routine, and it is widely used, but guidelines determining when and how to use it in myositis patients are lacking.

Abstract: Recent studies have provided evidence of a close link between specific microbiota and inflammatory disorders. While the vessel wall microbiota has been recently described in large vessel vasculitis (LVV) and controls, the blood microbiome in these diseases has not been previously reported (LVV). We aimed to analyse the blood microbiome profile of LVV patients (Takayasu’s arteritis [TAK], giant cell arteritis [GCA]) and healthy blood donors (HD). We studied the blood samples of 13 patients with TAK (20 samples), 9 patients with GCA (11 samples) and 15 HD patients. We assessed the blood microbiome profile by sequencing the 16S rDNA blood bacterial DNA. We used linear discriminant analysis (LDA) coupled with linear discriminant effect size measurement (LEfSe) to investigate the differences in the blood microbiome profile between TAK and GCA patients. An increase in the levels of Clostridia, Cytophagia and Deltaproteobacteria and a decrease in Bacilli at the class level were found in TAK patients compared with HD patients (LDA > 2, p 2; p

Abstract: Background Lupus animal model has shown that arsenic trioxide (ATO), a treatment of acute promyelocytic leukaemia, could be effective in SLE. This is the first clinical study to determine the safety and efficacy of a short course of intravenous ATO in patients with active SLE. Methods This phase IIa, open-label, dose-escalating study enrolled 11 adult SLE patients with a non-organ threatening disease, clinically active despite conventional therapy. Patients received 10 IV infusions of ATO within 24 days. The first group received 0.10 mg/kg per injection, with dose-escalating to 0.15 mg/kg in a second group, and to 0.20 mg/kg in a third group. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) and secondary endpoints were the number of SLE Responder Index 4 (SRI-4) responders at week 24 and reduction of corticosteroid dosage. In an exploratory analysis, we collected long-term data for safety and attainment of lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS). Results Four serious AEs occurred (grade 3 neutropenia, osteitis, neuropathy), 2 of which were attributable to ATO (neutropenia in the 2 patients treated with mycophenolate). Two patients suffered a severe flare during the last 4 weeks of the trial. At W24, five patients among 10 were SRI-4 responders. Overall, mean corticosteroid dosage decreased from 11.25 mg/day at baseline to 6 mg/day at W24 (P Conclusions A short course of ATO has an acceptable safety profile in SLE patients and encouraging efficacy.

Abstract: Objectives To assess the efficacy and safety of adjuvant therapies in newly diagnosed or relapsing giant cell arteritis (GCA) in terms of relapse rate at week 52 (primary outcome) and to assess the impact of GC tapering regimen on adjuvant effectiveness. Methods For this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, trial registries, from inception to November 2020. We included all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled prospective studies evaluating adjuvant treatments in GCA, without date or language restriction. Two reviewers independently selected studies, extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Quality of evidence was summarised with GRADE. Results Of the 680 records identified, 16 studies were included (1,068 participants) evaluating various adjuvant therapies compared to GC only. No study compared adjuvants with each other. Risk of bias was high in 5/7 trials evaluating our primary outcome. Risk of relapse at week 52 was reduced for only the anti-IL6 and IL6-receptor drug class versus the control (RR=0.45, 95%CI 0.30–0.66, I2=38%), particularly tocilizumab (RR=0.38, 95%CI 0.23–0.63, I2=42%) with a moderate quality of evidence. We found no significant interaction according to GC tapering regimen. Our meta-analysis did not show a significant benefit for methotrexate. Except for dapsone, ciclosporine and hydroxychloroquine, other adjuvants did not seem to show increased risk of adverse events. Conclusions Tocilizumab seems to reduce the relapse rate in GCA at week 52 but the quality of evidence was moderate. No other molecule has shown efficacy. No significant interaction on relapse rate by GC tapering regimen was found. Study registration PROSPERO CRD42020172011.

Abstract: ObjectiveMucocutaneous and joint disorders are the most common manifestations in Behçet’s syndrome (BS) and are frequently clustered in the so-called minor forms of BS. There remains a need for safe and effective treatment for joint lesions in BS. We report the long-term safety and effectiveness of apremilast in refractory joint and mucocutaneous manifestations of BS.MethodsFrench nationwide multicenter study including 50 BS patients with either active joint and/or mucocutaneous manifestations resistant to colchicine and/or DMARDs. Patients received apremilast 30 mg twice a day. Primary effectiveness endpoint was the proportion of patients with complete response (CR) of articular symptoms at month 6 (M6), defined as resolution of inflammatory arthralgia and arthritis, with joint count equal to zero.ResultsAt inclusion, the median tender and swollen joint count was of 4 [2-6] and 2 [1-2], respectively. The proportion of CR in joint disease at M6 was 65% (n = 15/23), and 17% (n = 4/23) were partial responders. CR of oral and genital ulcers, and pseudofolliculitis at M6 was 73% (n = 24/33), 94% (n = 16/17) and 71% (n = 10/14), respectively. The overall response at M6 was 74% for the entire cohort and 70% for the mucocutaneous-articular cluster (n = 27). The median Behçet’s syndrome activity score significantly decreased during study period [50 (40–60) vs. 20 (0–40); p <0.0001]. After a median follow-up of 11 [6-13] months, 27 (54%) patients were still on apremilast. Reasons for apremilast withdrawal included adverse events (n = 15, 30%) and treatment failure (n = 8, 16%). Thirty-three (66%) patients experienced adverse events, mostly diarrhea (n = 19, 38%), nausea (n = 17, 34%) and headache (n = 16, 32%).ConclusionApremilast seems effective in BS-related articular disease refractory to colchicine and DMARDs. Discontinuation rates were significantly higher than that reported in clinical trials.

Abstract: International audience; Objective: To report the efficacy of rituximab plus belimumab in patients with refractory cryoglobulinemia vasculitis (CV).Methods: Belimumab was administered intravenously at a dose of 10 mg/kg on days 0, 14, 28 and then every month in association with rituximab in 4 patients with refractory CV. Demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics, treatment modalities and outcomes were recorded.Results: All patients had type II IgM Kappa cryoglobulinemia, which was associated with primary Sjögren syndrome (n = 1), hepatitis C virus infection (n = 1), and essential (n = 2). Main manifestations of CV included purpura (n = 4), arthralgia and peripheral neuropathy (n = 3), and glomerulonephritis and skin ulcers (n = 1). In all cases, CV was refractory and/or relapse following rituximab. Intravenous belimumab infusion along with rituximab resulted in rapid clinical response in the four patients. Osteitis and recurrent urinary tract infections occurred in two patients.Conclusion: Belimumab along with rituximab showed promising results in refractory patients with CV.

Abstract: APOBEC3 (A3) enzymes are best known for their role as antiviral restriction factors and as mutagens in cancer. Although four of them, A3A, A3B, A3F and A3G, are induced by type-1-interferon (IFN-I), their role in inflammatory conditions is unknown. We thus investigated the expression of A3, and particularly A3A and A3B because of their ability to edit cellular DNA, in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by high IFN-α serum levels. In a cohort of 57 SLE patients, A3A and A3B, but also A3C and A3G, were upregulated ~ 10 to 15-fold (> 1000-fold for A3B) compared to healthy controls, particularly in patients with flares and elevated serum IFN-α levels. Hydroxychloroquine, corticosteroids and immunosuppressive treatment did not reverse A3 levels. The A3AΔ3B polymorphism, which potentiates A3A, was detected in 14.9% of patients and in 10% of controls, and was associated with higher A3A mRNA expression. A3A and A3B mRNA levels, but not A3C or A3G, were correlated positively with dsDNA breaks and negatively with lymphopenia. Exposure of SLE PBMCs to IFN-α in culture induced massive and sustained A3A levels by 4 h and led to massive cell death. Furthermore, the rs2853669 A > G polymorphism in the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter, which disrupts an Ets-TCF-binding site and influences certain cancers, was highly prevalent in SLE patients, possibly contributing to lymphopenia. Taken together, these findings suggest that high baseline A3A and A3B levels may contribute to cell frailty, lymphopenia and to the generation of neoantigens in SLE patients. Targeting A3 expression could be a strategy to reverse cell death and the generation of neoantigens.

Abstract: International audience; Background: Data regarding French physicians' alcohol behaviours are scarce and most studies address this issue within the population of either medical students or residents. We aim to describe and assess the prevalence of hazardous alcohol consumption among French physicians.Methods: A regional, cross-sectional, survey was conducted in 2018 using an online questionnaire among Parisian general practitioners and hospital doctors. Hazardous alcohol consumption was defined by an Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) score ≥ 8. Data were analysed in 2020.Results: Five hundred fifteen physicians completed the survey: 108 general practitioners and 407 hospital physicians. The median age was 40 years [32-55] and 59 % were women. They considered their physical and mental health as average or bad in 10 % and 8% of cases, respectively. The prevalence of hazardous alcohol consumption was 12.6 %. Among the 65 physicians with hazardous alcohol consumption, 27 (41.5 %) did not considered it as risky and four (6.2 %) mentioned a potentially negative impact on patients' care. Factors independently associated with hazardous alcohol consumption were illegal drugs consumption (OR 4.62 [2.05-10.37]) and fixed term contract for hospital doctors (OR 2.69 [1.14-6.36]).Conclusions: The prevalence of hazardous alcohol consumption among French physicians was 12.6 %. Illegal substance users and fix-termed contract hospital doctors were more likely to have risky alcohol consumption. A large-scale national study would confirm the factors associated with hazardous alcohol consumption and could explore the efficacy of preventive measures to insure the safety and health of physicians and their patients.

Abstract: We read with great interest the article by Ter Haar et al 1 who describe the clinical characteristics, treatment response and genetic findings in a cohort of patients (n=187) with undefined systemic autoinflammatory diseases (sAIDs). The authors observed that patients with pericarditis were older at disease onset and had milder disease whereas patients with intellectual impairment were younger at disease onset and often had affected relatives. Of note, among patients with recurrent disease course, 30% (n=53/180) had aphthous stomatitis. Moreover, after complete gene screening, screening of most relevant exons or screening of most relevant point mutations, 9.4% (n=15/159) of patients carried likely pathogenic variants or variants of uncertain significance. Our recent French multicentre study on targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) gives further insight into the clinical characteristics and genetic findings in patients with sAIDs associated with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS). RAS (ie, adult onset, association with other features such as fever and malaise) can represent a diagnostic challenge. RAS especially when associated with fever, pharyngitis and lymphadenopathy may be the first presentation of sAIDs.2 sAIDs arise from impaired inflammatory responses due to variants in gene coding proteins …

Abstract: The diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency is a primary public health goal. This study aimed to make an inventory of the use of biomarkers to assess the iron supply in patients given iron replacement therapy. A retrospective longitudinal real-world study of a cohort of patients receiving iron replacement therapy was conducted using data from healthcare coverage databases between January 2006 and December 2015 in France. The frequency of oral or intravenous iron treatment episodes preceded and/or followed by a biological assessment of iron deficiency was described. We then differentiate patients with or without chronic inflammatory diseases, which could impact the prescription. The evolution between 2006 and 2015 was also studied. The 96,724 patients received an average of 4.9 administrations of iron per patient, corresponding to 1.7 treatment episodes. In one-third of treatment episodes (34.6%), patients had a pre-treatment biological assessment, 15.5% a post-treatment assessment, and 7.3% both. The post-treatment measure of iron supply markers (i.e., Ferritin and transferrin saturation) was more frequent in patients suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases than in those without underlying chronic condition (22.6% to 41.0% vs. 3.1%; p

Abstract: International audience; Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown origin that has variable clinical course and can affect nearly any organ. It has a chronic course in about 25% of patients. Corticosteroids (CS) are the cornerstone of therapy but their long-term use is associated with cumulative toxicity. Commonly used CS-sparing agents include methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, and mycophenolate mofetil. Twenty to forty percentage of sarcoidosis patients are refractory to these therapies or develop severe adverse events. Therefore, additional and targeted CS-sparing agents are needed for chronic sarcoidosis. Macrophage activation, interferon response, and formation of the granuloma are mainly mediated by T helper-1 responses. Different pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-8, IL-12, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) have been shown to be highly expressed in sarcoidosis-affected tissues. As a result of increased production of these cytokines, Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling is constitutively active in sarcoidosis. Several studies of biological agents that target TNF-α have reported their efficacy and appear today as a second line option in refractory sarcoidosis. Some case series report a positive effect of tocilizumab an anti-IL-6 monoclonal antibody in this setting. More recently, JAK inhibition appears as a new promising strategy. This review highlights key advances on the management of chronic refractory sarcoidosis. Novel therapeutic strategies and treatment agents to manage the disease are described.

Abstract: BackgroundSince 1920, a decrease in serum cholesterol has been identified as a marker of severe pneumonia. We have assessed the performance of serum apolipoprotein-A1, the main transporter of HDL-cholesterol, to identify the early spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) in the general population and its diagnostic performance for the Covid-19.MethodsWe compared the daily mean serum apolipoprotein-A1 during the first 30 weeks of 2020 in a population that is routinely followed for a risk of liver fibrosis risk in the USA (183,112 sera) and in France (18,316 sera) in relation to a local increase in confirmed cases, and in comparison to the same period in 2019 (respectively 234,881 and 26,056 sera). We prospectively assessed the sensitivity of this marker in an observational study of 136 consecutive hospitalized cases and retrospectively evaluated its specificity in 7,481 controls representing the general population.ResultsThe mean serum apolipoprotein-A1 levels in these populations began decreasing in January 2020, compared to the same 30 weeks in 2019. This decrease was highly correlated to and in parallel with the daily increase in confirmed Covid-19 cases in the following 30 weeks, in both France and USA, including the June and mid-July recovery periods in France. Apolipoprotein-A1 at the 1.25 g/L cutoff had a sensitivity of 90.6% (95%CI84.2-95.1) and a specificity of 96.1% (95.7-96.6%) for the diagnosis of Covid-19. The area under the characteristics curve was 0.978 (0.957-0.988), and outperformed haptoglobin and liver function tests. The adjusted risk ratio for survival without transfer to intensive care unit was 5.61 (95%CI 1.02-31.0;P=0.04).ConclusionApolipoprotein-A1 could be both a sentinel of the pandemic in existing routine surveillance of the general population with no new blood sample, as well as a candidate predictor of suspected Covid-19 in multivariate analysis in cases with a negative virological test. NCT01927133, CER-2020-14.Key PointsQuestionDoes serum apolipoprotein-A1 decrease could be a very early biomarker of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic?FindingsDuring the 30 weeks of 2020 we observed in two large cohorts of patients at risk of liver fibrosis a highly significant decrease of serum apolipoprotein-A1, not observed in previous years. This decrease was highly correlated to and in parallel with the daily increase in confirmed Covid-19 cases, including the recovery period.MeaningApolipoprotein-A1 could be used as a sentinel of the pandemic in existing routine surveillance of the general population.

Abstract: International audience; Non-infectious uveitis (NIU) represents one of the leading causes of blindness in developed countries. The therapeutic strategy aims to rapidly control intra-ocular inflammation, prevent irremediable ocular damage, allow corticosteroid sparing and save the vision, and has evolved over the last few years. Anterior NIU is mostly managed with topical treatment in adults. However, for intermediate, posterior and pan-uveitis, notably when both eyes are involved, systemic treatment is usually warranted. Biotherapies are recommended in case of inefficacy or non-tolerance of conventional immunosuppressive drugs in non-anterior NIU. Anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF-α) agents are by far the most widely used, especially adalimumab (ADA) and infliximab (IFX). In case of sight-threatening uveitis in Behçet's disease or in case of risk of severe recurrences, respectively IFX and ADA may be recommended as first-line therapy. Many questions are left unanswered; how long to treat NIU, how to discontinue anti-TNF-α agents, what biologic to use in case of anti-TNF-α failure? The objective of this review is to present an updated overview of knowledge on the use of biological treatments in NIU.

Abstract: International audience; Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that in utero exposures can influence the development of the immune system and thus contribute to disease development. Studies investigating the association between prenatal exposures to heavy metals and atopic diseases, however, are scarce.Methods: Children from the EDEN birth cohort were prospectively followed up using parental questionnaires with validated questions on asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema, and food allergy symptoms. The questionnaires were administered every 4 months during the children's first year, and then every year until the age of 5, with a final survey at the age of 8. Serum concentrations of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and manganese (Mn) were assessed in maternal blood samples collected during mid-pregnancy and in cord blood of 651 mother-children pairs. Hazard ratios (HR) for the incidence of each atopic disease in relation to the exposure to metals were calculated using Cox proportional hazard models.Results: Levels of Cd in cord blood were associated with greater risk of asthma (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval] for upper vs lower quartile: 1.81 [1.00-3.29]), eczema (1.60 [1.09-2.35]), and food allergy (3.17 [1.36-7.38]), while Mn levels in maternal serum were associated with eczema (1.55 [1.05-2.28]). These associations were similar in males and females and were confirmed using log concentrations of metals as exposures.Conclusions: Our results support the hypothesis that fetal exposure to heavy metals may affect the development of asthma, eczema, and food allergy in childhood and suggest that timing of exposure in utero may have a role in these associations.

Abstract: International audience; Background: For nonneoplastic neurological diseases, no recommendation exists regarding the place or appropriate timing of brain biopsy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic yield and safety of brain biopsies from patients with neurological diseases of unknown etiology.Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2018. We analyzed 1847 brain-biopsied patients, including 178 biopsies indicated for neurological diseases of unknown etiology. Specific histological and final diagnosis rates, positive diagnosis-associated factors, complication rate and complication-associated factors were assessed.Results: Specific histological diagnosis and final diagnosis rates were 71.3% and 83.1%, respectively, leading to therapeutic management change(s) for 75.3% of patients. Brain- biopsy-related mortality and permanent neurological morbidity occurred in 1.1% and 0.6% of the patients, respectively. The multivariable logistic-regression model retained (odds ratio [95% CI] only immunodepression (2.2 [1.1-4.7]; P=.04) as being independently associated with specific histological diagnosis, while supratentorial biopsy-targeted lesions (4.1 [1.1-15.2]; P=.04) were independently associated with a final diagnosis. Biopsies obtained from comatose patients were less contributive to the diagnosis (0.2 [0.05-0.7]; P=.01). Prebiopsy platelet count

Abstract: Tocilizumab, an anti-interleukin-6 receptor, administrated during the right timeframe may be beneficial against coronavirus-disease-2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. All patients admitted for severe COVID-19 pneumonia (SpO2 &le, 96% despite O2-support &ge, 6 L/min) without invasive mechanical ventilation were included in a retrospective cohort study in a primary care hospital. The treatment effect of a single-dose, 400 mg, of tocilizumab was assessed by comparing those who received tocilizumab to those who did not. Selection bias was mitigated using three statistical methods. Primary outcome measure was a composite of mortality and ventilation at day 28. A total of 246 patients were included (106 were treated with tocilizumab). Overall, 105 (42.7%) patients presented the primary outcome, with 71 (28.9%) deaths during the 28-day follow-up. Propensity-score-matched 84 pairs of comparable patients. In the matched cohort (n = 168), tocilizumab was associated with fewer primary outcomes than the control group (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.49 (95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.3&ndash, 0.81), p-value = 0.005). These results were similar in the overall cohort (n = 246), with Cox multivariable analysis yielding a protective association between tocilizumab and primary outcome (adjusted HR = 0.26 (95%CI = 0.135&ndash, 0.51, p = 0.0001), confirmed by inverse probability score weighting (IPSW) analysis (p &lt, 0.0001). Analyses on mortality only, with 28 days of follow-up, yielded similar results. In this study, tocilizumab 400 mg in a single-dose was associated with improved survival without mechanical ventilation in patients with severe COVID-19.

Abstract: BackgroundPrognostic factors are lacking in cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), and the effects of immunosuppressive treatments are unclear.ObjectivesTo identify prognostic factors and to assess the effects of immunosuppressive drugs on relapse risk in patients presenting with CS.MethodsFrom a cohort of 157 patients with CS with a median follow-up of 7 years, we analysed all cardiac and extra-cardiac data and treatments, and assessed relapse-free and overall survival.ResultsThe 10-year survival rate was 90% (95% CI, 84-96). Baseline factors associated with mortality were the presence of high degree atrioventricular block (HR, 5.56, 95% CI 1.7-18.2, p = 0.005), left ventricular ejection fraction below 40% (HR, 4.88, 95% CI 1.26-18.9, p = 0.022), hypertension (HR, 4.79, 95% CI 1.06-21.7, p = 0.042), abnormal pulmonary function test (HR, 3.27, 95% CI 1.07-10.0, p = 0.038), areas of late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance (HR, 2.26, 95% CI 0.25-20.4, p = 0.003), and older age (HR per 10 years 1.69, 95% CI 1.13-2.52, p = 0.01). The 10-year relapse-free survival rate for cardiac relapses was 53% (95% CI, 44-63). Baseline factors that were independently associated with cardiac relapse were kidney involvement (HR, 3.35, 95% CI 1.39-8.07, p = 0.007), wall motion abnormalities (HR, 2.30, 95% CI 1.22-4.32, p = 0.010), and left heart failure (HR 2.23, 95% CI 1.12-4.45, p = 0.023). After adjustment for cardiac involvement severity, treatment with intravenous cyclophosphamide was associated with a lower risk of cardiac relapse (HR 0.16, 95% CI 0.033-0.78, p = 0.024).ConclusionsOur study identifies putative factors affecting morbidity and mortality in cardiac sarcoidosis patients. Intravenous cyclophosphamide is associated with lower relapse rates.

Abstract: Background Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) levels can be measured in both serum and whole blood. No cut-off point for non-adherence has been established in serum nor have these methods ever been compared. The aims of this study were to compare these two approaches and determine if serum HCQ cut-off points can be established to identify non-adherent patients. Methods HCQ levels were measured in serum and whole blood from 573 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The risk factors for active SLE (SLEDAI score > 4) were identified by multiple logistic regression. Serum HCQ levels were measured in 68 additional patients known to be non-adherent, i.e. with whole-blood HCQ Results The mean (± SD) HCQ levels were 469 ± 223 ng/mL in serum and 916 ± 449 ng/mL in whole blood. The mean ratio of serum/whole-blood HCQ levels was 0.53 ± 0.15. In the multivariate analysis, low whole-blood HCQ levels (P = 0.023), but not serum HCQ levels, were independently associated with active SLE. From the mean serum/whole-blood level ratio, a serum HCQ level of 106 ng/mL was extrapolated as the corresponding cut-off to identify non-adherent patients with a sensitivity of 0.87 (95% CI 0.76–0.94) and specificity of 0.89 (95% CI 0.72–0.98). All serum HCQ levels of patients with whole-blood HCQ below the detectable level ( Conclusions These data suggest that whole blood is better than serum for assessing the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relation of HCQ. Our results support the use of serum HCQ levels to assess non-adherence when whole blood is unavailable.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: In immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP), patients develop an immune response against the multidomain enzyme ADAMTS13. ADAMTS13 consists of a metalloprotease (M) and disintegrin-like (D) domain, 8 thrombospondin type 1 repeats (T1-T8), a cysteine-rich (C), a spacer (S), and 2 CUB domains (CUB1-2). Previous epitope mapping studies have used relatively large overlapping ADAMTS13 fragments. OBJECTIVES: We aimed at developing small nonoverlapping ADAMTS13 fragments to fine map anti-ADAMTS13 autoantibodies in iTTP patients. METHODS: A library of 16 ADAMTS13 fragments, comprising several small (M, DT, C, S, T2-T5, T6-T8, CUB1, CUB2), and some larger fragments with overlapping domains (MDT, MDTC, DTC, CS, T2-T8, CUB1-2, MDTCS, T2-C2), were generated. All fragments, and ADAMTS13, were expressed as a fusion protein with albumin domain 1, and purified. The folding of the fragments was tested using 17 anti-ADAMTS13 monoclonal antibodies with known epitopes. An epitope mapping assay using small ADAMTS13 fragments was set up, and validated by analyzing 18 iTTP patient samples. RESULTS: Validation with the monoclonal antibodies demonstrated that single S and CUB1 were not correctly folded, and therefore CS and CUB1-2 fragments were selected instead of single C, S, CUB1, and CUB2 fragments. Epitope mapping of antibodies of patients with iTTP confirmed that 6 nonoverlapping ADAMTS13 fragments M, DT, CS, T2-T5, T6-T8, and CUB1-2 were sufficient to accurately determine the antibody-binding sites. CONCLUSION: We have developed a tool to profile patients with iTTP according to their anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies for a better insight in their immune response. ispartof: RESEARCH AND PRACTICE IN THROMBOSIS AND HAEMOSTASIS vol:4 issue:5 pages:918-930 ispartof: location:United States status: published

Abstract: ObjectivesThere is little known about the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (iRMD). We examined epidemiological characteristics associated with severe disease, then with death. We also compared mortality between patients hospitalised for COVID-19 with and without iRMD.MethodsIndividuals with suspected iRMD-COVID-19 were included in this French cohort. Logistic regression models adjusted for age and sex were used to estimate adjusted ORs and 95% CIs of severe COVID-19. The most significant clinically relevant factors were analysed by multivariable penalised logistic regression models, using a forward selection method. The death rate of hospitalised patients with iRMD-COVID-19 (moderate–severe) was compared with a subset of patients with non-iRMD-COVID-19 from a French hospital matched for age, sex, and comorbidities.ResultsOf 694 adults, 438 (63%) developed mild (not hospitalised), 169 (24%) moderate (hospitalised out of the intensive care unit (ICU) and 87 (13%) severe (patients in ICU/deceased) disease. In multivariable imputed analyses, the variables associated with severe infection were age (OR=1.08, 95% CI: 1.05–1.10), female gender (OR=0.45, 95% CI: 0.25–0.80), body mass index (OR=1.07, 95% CI: 1.02–1.12), hypertension (OR=1.86, 95% CI: 1.01–3.42), and use of corticosteroids (OR=1.97, 95% CI: 1.09–3.54), mycophenolate mofetil (OR=6.6, 95% CI: 1.47–29.62) and rituximab (OR=4.21, 95% CI: 1.61–10.98). Fifty-eight patients died (8% (total) and 23% (hospitalised)). Compared with 175 matched hospitalised patients with non-iRMD-COVID-19, the OR of mortality associated with hospitalised patients with iRMD-COVID-19 was 1.45 (95% CI: 0.87–2.42) (n=175 each group).ConclusionsIn the French RMD COVID-19 cohort, as already identified in the general population, older age, male gender, obesity, and hypertension were found to be associated with severe COVID-19. Patients with iRMD on corticosteroids, but not methotrexate, or tumour necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6 inhibitors, should be considered as more likely to develop severe COVID-19. Unlike common comorbidities such as obesity, and cardiovascular or lung diseases, the risk of death is not significantly increased in patients with iRMD.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov Registry (NCT04353609).

Abstract: ObjectiveTakayasu’s arteritis (TAK) is a large vessel vasculitis with important infiltration of proinflammatory T cells in the aorta and its main branches, but its aetiology is still unknown. Our work aims to explore the involvement of Janus Kinase/Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (JAK/STAT) signalling pathway in proinflammatory T cells differentiation and disease activity of TAK.MethodsWe analysed transcriptome and interferons gene signatures of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS-sorted) CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from healthy donors (HD) and in 25 TAK (median age of 37.6 years including 21 active TAK with National Institutes of Health (NIH) score >1). Then we tested, in vitro and in vivo, the effects of JAK inhibitors (JAKinibs) in TAK.ResultsTranscriptome analysis showed 248 and 432 significantly dysregulated genes for CD4+ and CD8+ samples between HD and TAK, respectively. Among dysregulated genes, we highlighted a great enrichment for pathways linked to type I and type II interferons, JAK/STAT and cytokines/chemokines-related signalling in TAK. We confirmed by Real Time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) the upregulation of type I interferons gene signature in TAK as compared with HD. JAKinibs induced both in vitro and in vivo a significant reduction of CD25 expression by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, a significant decrease of type 1 helper T cells (Th1) and Th17 cells and an increase of Tregs cells in TAK. JAKinibs also decreased C reactive protein level, NIH score and corticosteroid dose in TAK patients.ConclusionsJAK/STAT signalling pathway is critical in the pathogenesis of TAK and JAKinibs may be a promising therapy.

Abstract: International audience; Mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) are immune complexes that can deposit in small and medium size arteries and cause systemic vasculitis called cryoglobulinemic vasculitis (CryoVas). CryoVas most common clinical manifestations include purpura, arthralgia and/or arthritis, skin ulcers, peripheral neuropathy, nephritis, and may progress to more life-threatening illness. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the more frequent condition to be assessed in patients with MC, followed by connective tissue diseases and B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In HCV-related cases, the mainstay of CryoVas treatment is interferon free antiviral therapy. However, a significant proportion of patients who show HCV eradication will develop persistent CryoVas needing treatment intensification.

Abstract: Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text, Immunoglobulins are 2nd or 3rd-line treatments in dermatomyositis (DM) or polymyositis (PM) refractory to high-dose corticosteroids and immunosuppressants. Immunoglobulins (2 g/kg/mo) are usually administered intravenously (IVIg) once a month and the patients stay at hospital for a few days. Recently, subcutaneous injections (SCIg) were proposed 2 to 3 times per week, in some dysimmune diseases. SCIg are administered at home preferably by the patient or by a nurse. We investigated the needs and attitudes of DM and PM patients with experience of IVIg and SCIg. Seven patients (6 PM and 1 DM) from a single center participated in a focus group (N = 6) or underwent in-depth interview (N = 1). Six had the experience of both IVIg at hospital and SCIg at home; 1 has received only IVIg at hospital. Verbatim was recorded and transcribed for further content analysis and computer-aided textual analysis. Clinical profiles and stories were heterogeneous. At diagnosis, muscle weakness, severe pain, and fatigue were at the forefront of patients’ complaints impairing daily life. Patients reported considerable improvement with immunoglobulins. SCIg were described as easy, less disruptive for daily life, well tolerated, and less time-consuming. SCIg self-administration at home restored the feeling of autonomy and control. Interviews of DM and PM patients revealed that recovering autonomy and control was a central advantage of home-based SCIg that were efficient, well tolerated, and perceived as a good compromise between treatment burden and efficacy.

Abstract: Autophagy plays an important role in the regulation of autoimmune and autoinflammatory responses of the immune cells. Defective autophagy process is associated with various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Moreover, in many of these diseases, the therapeutic use of normal immunoglobulin G or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), a pooled normal IgG preparation, is well documented. Therefore, we explored if IVIG immunotherapy exerts therapeutic benefits via induction of autophagy in the immune cells. Here we show that IVIG induces autophagy in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Further dissection of this process revealed that IVIG-induced autophagy is restricted to inflammatory cells like monocytes, dendritic cells, and M1 macrophages but not in cells associated with Th2 immune response like M2 macrophages. IVIG induces autophagy by activating AMP-dependent protein kinase, beclin-1, class III phosphoinositide 3-kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and by inhibiting mammalian target of rapamycin. Mechanistically, IVIG-induced autophagy is F(ab′)2-dependent but sialylation independent, and requires endocytosis of IgG by innate cells. Inhibition of autophagy compromised the ability of IVIG to suppress the inflammatory cytokines in innate immune cells. Moreover, IVIG therapy in inflammatory myopathies such as dermatomyositis, antisynthetase syndrome and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy induced autophagy in PBMCs and reduced inflammatory cytokines in the circulation, thus validating the translational importance of these results. Our data provide insight on how circulating normal immunoglobulins maintain immune homeostasis and explain in part the mechanism by which IVIG therapy benefits patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract: International audience; OBJECTIVE: Muscle strength is a critical clinical hallmark in both health and disease. The current study introduces a novel portable device prototype (MyoQuad) for assessing and monitoring maximal voluntary isometric knee extension torque (MVIT).APPROACH: Fifty-six patients with inclusion body myositis were studied. Knee extension weakness is a key feature in this inflammatory muscle disease. Cross-validation with an isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex System 3 Pro) was performed. Between-day reproducibility and ability to monitor changes in muscle strength over time compared to the gold standard method as a reference, were also investigated.MAIN RESULTS: The measurement was feasible even in the weakest patients. Agreement between methods was excellent (standard error of measurement (SEM) was 3.8 Nm and intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.973). Least significant difference (LSD) was 4.9 and 5.3 Nm for the MyoQuad and the Biodex, respectively Measurements using the MyoQuad exhibited excellent between-day reproducibility (SEM was 2.4 Nm and ICC was 0.989 versus 2.6 Nm and 0.988 using the Biodex). Changes in MVIT at 6 and 12 months were similar between methods (timepoint × method interaction was not significant; all p > 0.19); strength changes classified according to LSD at 6 and 12 months were consistent between methods (>70% consistent classification)).SIGNIFICANCE: The measurement of MVIT using the MyoQuad offers a cost-effective, portable and immediate alternative for the routine measurement of maximal voluntary isometric strength of the quadriceps. The MyoQuad offers a comfort and stability that cannot be provided by standard hand-held dynamometers. These results support quantitative muscle strength assessment using fixed yet flexible dynamometry within clinical routine and multicenter trials.

Abstract: Objectives To assess long-term efficacy of tocilizumab in treatment-naive patients with Takayasu arteritis (TAK). Methods Prospective open-labeled trial in naïve patients with TAK who received steroids at the dose of 0.7 mg/kg/day and 7 infusions of 8 mg/kg/month of tocilizumab. The primary endpoint was the number of patients who discontinued steroids after 7 infusions of tocilizumab. Secondary endpoints included disease activity and the number of relapses during 18-month follow-up. Results Thirteen patients with TAK were included, with a median age of 32 years [19–45] and 12 (92%) females. Six (54%) patients met the primary end-point. A significant decrease of disease activity was observed after 6 months of tocilizumab therapy: decrease of median NIH scale (3 [3, 4] at baseline, versus 1 [0–2] after 6 months; p p = 0.002), and ITAS-A score (7 [4–10] versus 4 [1–15]; p = 0.0001)]. During the 12-month follow-up after tocilizumab discontinuation, a relapse occurred among 5 patients (45%) out of 11 in which achieved remission after 6 months of tocilizumab. Conclusion Tocilizumab seems an effective steroid sparing therapy in TAK, but maintenance therapy is necessary. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02101333. Registered on 02 April 2014.

Abstract: International audience; Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis (CryoVas) is a small-to-medium vessel systemic vasculitis caused by the deposition of mixed cryoglobulins and immune complexes. Clinical spectrum of CryoVas ranges from mild symptoms to vasculitis involving multiple organs that may progress to more life-threatening ilness. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronic infection is the most frequent condition to be assessed in patients with CryoVas. The mortality rate among patients with HCV-associated CryoVas is 3× that of the general population, with a 63% 10-year survival rate. The recent advent of interferon-free direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), which have the potential to induce sustained virological response rates greater than 95%, has dramatically changed the management of chronic HCV infection and HCV-related CryoVas. B-cell depleting strategies, mainly with rituximab, are the main therapeutic option in severe and refractory cases of HCV-associated CryoVas. Despite the progress in the last years on the management of chronic HCV infection, there are still unmet needs regarding therapeutic management of severe and refractory HCV-associated CryoVas.

Abstract: International audience; Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is responsible for both hepatic and extrahepatic manifestations. Before the era of direct-acting antivirals (DAA), cryoglobulinemia was related to HCV infection in 70-90% of cases. Observed in 30% to 40% of patients with hepatitis C, mixed cryoglobulinemia is mainly asymptomatic. Conversely, symptomatic cryoglobulinemia vasculitis (CV) can occur in 5-10% of patients with HCV-associated cryoglobulinemia. CV is a small-vessel systemic vasculitis, and organ damage results from circulation and precipitation of cryoglobulins and complement activation. A wide range of clinical symptoms can be observed during CV, and manifestations are potentially life-threatening. The most frequent manifestations occurring in CV are cutaneous, with recurrent purpura, articular with joint pains, neurologic with peripheric neuropathy, and renal with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. DAA have drastically changed chronic HCV therapy. DAA induce sustained virological response (SVR) rates greater than 95%, and also improve extrahepatic manifestations such as CV. We review recent studies investigating the clinical and immune effects of DAA therapy on HCV-CV.

Abstract: The mechanisms regulating inflammation in large vessels vasculitis (LVV) are poorly understood. Interleukin 33 (IL-33) has been shown to license innate and adaptive immunity by enhancing Th2 cytokines production. We aimed to examine the role of IL-33 in the immunomodulation of T cell activation in LVV. T cell homeostasis and cytokines production were determined in peripheral blood from 52 patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) and 50 healthy donors (HD), using Luminex assay, flow cytometry, quantitative RT-PCR and by immunofluorescence analysis in inflammatory aorta lesions. We found increased level of IL-33 and its receptor ST2/IL-1R4 in the serum of patient with LVV. Endothelial cells were the main source of IL-33, whereas Th2 cells, Tregs and mast cells (MC) express ST2 in LVV vessels. IL-33 had a direct immunomodulatory impact by increasing Th2 and Tregs. IL-33 and MC further enhanced Th2 and regulatory responses by inducing a 6.1 fold increased proportion of Tregs (p = 0.008). Stimulation of MC by IL-33 increased indoleamine 2 3-dioxygenase (IDO) activity and IL-2 secretion. IL-33 mRNA expression was significantly correlated with the expression of IL-10 and TGF-β within aorta inflammatory lesions. To conclude, our findings suggest that IL-33 may exert a critical immunoregulatory role in promoting Tregs and Th2 cells in LVV.

Abstract: International audience; Acute idiopathic or so-called viral pericarditis is a frequent and usually benign disease, although recurrences are frequent. Data strongly suggest the presence of underlying autoinflammatory and/or autoimmune disorders. It has been reported that there is an inflammatory response of the innate immune system typical of ‘autoinflammatory diseases’, predominantly mediated by interleukin-1 (IL-1). This may result from the activation of the inflammasome by a cardiotropic virus or a non-specific agent. The inflammatory response of the adaptive immune system, typical of ‘autoimmune diseases’—mainly mediated by autoantibodies or autoreactive T lymphocytes—seems also involved as anti-heart or anti-intercalated disk autoantibodies were associated with a higher number of recurrences and hospitalisations. Current guidelines recommend that aspirin/non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for a few weeks should be associated to colchicine for 6 months in recurrent pericarditis. In refractory cases, low-dose corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs have been proposed with limited efficacy. Growing evidences suggest a place of IL-1 receptor antagonists in the treatment of recurrent pericarditis. Many retrospective studies, one recent randomised placebo-controlled study and data of a real-life large international registry showed the good efficacy of anakinra with a good safety profile. Other IL-1 receptor antagonists showed promising results (canakinumab, rilonacept). However, IL-1 receptor antagonists’ position in the treatment algorithm of recurrent pericarditis needs further evaluation in larger prospective clinical trials to replicate initial findings as well as to assess safety, cost-effectiveness and long-term efficacy.

Abstract: International audience; Prognostic factors of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients among European population are lacking. Our objective was to identify early prognostic factors upon admission to optimize the management of COVID-19 patients hospitalized in a medical ward. This French single-center prospective cohort study evaluated 152 patients with positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay, hospitalized in the Internal Medicine and Clinical Immunology Department, at Pitié-Salpêtrière's Hospital, in Paris, France, a tertiary care university hospital. Predictive factors of intensive care unit (ICU) transfer or death at day 14 (D14), of being discharge alive and severe status at D14 (remaining with ventilation, or death) were evaluated in multivariable logistic regression models; models' performances, including discrimination and calibration, were assessed (C-index, calibration curve, R2, Brier score). A validation was performed on an external sample of 132 patients hospitalized in a French hospital close to Paris, in Aulnay-sous-Bois, Île-de-France. The probability of ICU transfer or death was 32% (47/147) (95% CI 25-40). Older age (OR 2.61, 95% CI 0.96-7.10), poorer respiratory presentation (OR 4.04 per 1-point increment on World Health Organization (WHO) clinical scale, 95% CI 1.76-9.25), higher CRP-level (OR 1.63 per 100mg/L increment, 95% CI 0.98-2.71) and lower lymphocytes count (OR 0.36 per 1000/mm3 increment, 95% CI 0.13-0.99) were associated with an increased risk of ICU requirement or death. A 9-point ordinal scale scoring system defined low (score 0-2), moderate (score 3-5), and high (score 6-8) risk patients, with predicted respectively 2%, 25% and 81% risk of ICU transfer or death at D14. Therefore, in this prospective cohort study of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients hospitalized in a medical ward in France, a simplified scoring system at admission predicted the outcome at D14.

Abstract: Introduction L’IL-6 joue un role important dans la physiopathologie du syndrome de Sjogren primaire (SJp), notamment via l’activation des lymphocytes B et la polarisation des lymphocytes T. Nous avons realise un essai randomise en double aveugle Tocilizumab versus placebo (ETAP, Efficacite et Tolerance du RoActemra au cours du syndrome de Sjogren Primitif) chez des patients ayant un SJp. Patients et methodes Les criteres d’inclusion etaient un SJp selon les criteres diagnostiques de l’AECG et un ESSDAI (score de complications systemiques) ≥ 5. Les patients ont recu 6 perfusions mensuelles de tocilizumab (8 mg/kg) ou de placebo. Le critere de jugement principal etait la reponse au traitement, evaluee a la semaine 24 (S24), sur un critere composite associant : – la diminution d’au moins 3 points de l’ESSDAI ; – l’absence d’apparition d’un nouveau domaine d’activite moderee ou severe de l’ESSDAI ; – l’absence d’aggravation ≥ 1/10 en evaluation globale du medecin. Le suivi etait poursuivi jusqu’a S44. Les donnees ont ete analysees par methode bayesienne en intention de traiter. Resultats Au total 110 patients ont ete inclus et randomises : 55 dans le groupe tocilizumab (98 % femmes, âge moyen 50,9 ans [26 ; 76], anti-SSA+ 84,7 %), et 55 dans le groupe placebo (90 % femmes, 54,9 ans [30 ; 80], anti-SSA+ 87,6 %). A l’inclusion, dans le groupe tocilizumab et dans le groupe placebo respectivement, l’ESSDAI moyen etait de 11,5 [5 ; 25] et 12,4 [5 ; 39] et l’ESSPRI moyen de 6,4 [2 ; 9] et 6,4 [1 ; 9]. Les proportions de patients repondeurs selon le critere d’evaluation principal a S24 etaient semblables : 54,2 % [41,3 ; 66,7] groupe tocilizumab versus 62,1 % [49,0 ; 74,1] groupe placebo, OR = 1,6 [0,3 ; 3,3]. L’ESSDAI moyen a S24 etait de 6,6 [4,7 ; 9,0] et de 5,4 [3,7 ; 7,6] dans le groupe tocilizumab et le groupe placebo, respectivement. La difference des variations d’ESSDAI par rapport a l’inclusion etait similaire dans les 2 groupes (interaction, 0,9 [−1,3 ; 3,2]). L’ESSPRI moyen a S24 etait de 6,0 [5,0 ; 7,0] et de 6,2 [5,2 ; 7,1] dans le groupe tocilizumab et le groupe placebo. La difference des variations d’ESSPRI par rapport a l’inclusion etait similaire dans les 2 groupes (0,1 [−0,4 ; 0,7]). Les variations du test de Schirmer a S24 versus j0 etaient similaires dans les deux groupes. La diminution du nombre d’articulations douloureuses et gonflees etait plus importante dans le groupe tocilizumab (de 7,4 [6,7 ; 8,1] a 3,6 [3,3 ; 3,9] et de 2,2 [1,8 ; 2,6] a 0,6 [0,5 ; 0,7], respectivement) que dans le groupe placebo (de 7,8 [7,1 ; 8,6] a 4,9 [4,6 ; 5,3] et de 2,4 [2,0 ; 2,8] a 1,3 [1,1 ; 1,5]) (interaction 1,2 [0,2 ; 2,7] et 0,8 [0,3 ; 1,4]). La proportion d’effets indesirables graves etait semblable dans les deux groupes. Conclusion Dans cette etude randomisee controlee versus placebo, le tocilizumab n’est pas superieur au placebo sur les principaux symptomes du SJp. Une certaine efficacite a ete observee sur les signes articulaires. L’importance de l’effet placebo, egalement observee avec d’autres biotherapies, souligne les limites des criteres actuels d’evaluation utilises dans le SJp.
