Stage-specific ROMO1 in rheumatoid arthritis: predictive immune insights into the MIF pathway and HLA-DR/IL2RA axis via integrated GWAS, transcriptomic, single-cell, and spatial profiling.

Emerging evidence links reactive oxygen species modulator 1 (ROMO1), a key mitochondrial ROS regulator, to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. However, its exact mechanism remains elusive given the conflicting evidence about its specific function. We used a four-level integrative framework combining multi-omics data and literature‑supported mechanistic inference. At the genetic level, Mendelia...

Immunoproteomic Profiling of Autoantibodies and Antibodies against Infectious Agents in Autoimmune Diseases.

Prior research investigated limited antibody sets within individual autoimmune diseases. Using the Nucleic-Acid Programmable Protein Array platform, we measured antibodies against 280 human, 40 viral, and 15 bacterial antigens in serum from 237 patients with 8 autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune gastritis (AG), autoimmune thyroiditis (AT), celiac disease (CD), idiopathic inflammatory myopath...
