Microbiota-specific serum IgG links gut and joints through immune-endothelial crosstalk in arthritis

Eva Schmid, Nadine Otterbein, Stephen Ariyeloye, Heike Danzer, Michael Frech, Elisabeth Naschberger, Marco Muñoz‐Becerra, Kerstin Sarter, Georg Andreas Schett, Alf Kastbom, Anna Svärd, Ben Wielockx, Mario M. Zaiss

This study identifies microbiota-specific serum IgG as a mediator of gut-joint immune-endothelial crosstalk in arthritis, showing its role in initiating autoimmunity through endothelial barrier impairment and microbial translocation.

Mucosal innate immune activation as the trigger to Prevotella species-induced arthritis in genetically resistant mice

Yuichi Maeda, Miriam Rabenow, Wei Xiang, Eva Schmid, Nadine Otterbein, Ilia Gimaev, Lena Amend, Lena Riedinger, Leona Ehnes, Ippei Miyagawa, Ilann Sarfati, Till Robin Lesker, Heike Danzer, Kerstin Sarter, Kerstin Dürholz, , Mario M. Zaiss

This study shows that Prevotella intestinalis induces arthritis in resistant mice by activating intestinal immune cells and promoting Th17 differentiation through IL-6.

Gut-specific H3R signaling orchestrates microglia-dependent resolution of peripheral inflammation

Kerstin Dürholz, Leona Ehnes, Mathias Linnerbauer, Eva Schmid, Heike Danzer, Michael Hinzpeter-Schmidt, Lena Lößlein, Lena Amend, Michael Frech, Vugar Azizov, Fabian Schälter, Arne Gessner, Sébastien Lucas, Till-Robin Lesker, Regina Verena Taudte, , Mario M. Zaiss

The paper identifies gut microbiota-derived histamine as a factor enabling the CNS to suppress peripheral inflammation in RA by activating H3R in the intestine and modulating microglia.
