Reduction of CD83 Expression on B Cells and the Genetic Basis for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Comment on the Article by Thalayasingam et al
FunctionalN=16Yumi Tsuchida et al.(2018)· Arthritis &amp; Rheumatology

This functional study integrates epigenomic datasets (ATAC-seq, Hi-C, ChIP-seq, RNA-seq) from fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) to map the functional relevance of 101 fine-mapped rheumatoid arthritis GWAS associations. FLS regulatory elements account for 24% of RA heritability, and the study assigns putative target genes to RA risk loci, identifying TNFAIP3, IFNAR1, CDK6, RBPJ and others as disease-relevant genes. TNF stimulation reveals dynamic chromatin interactions and differential gene expression at RA-associated regulatory regions.

About MMEL1

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the neutral endopeptidase (NEP) or membrane metallo-endopeptidase (MME) family. Family members play important roles in pain perception, arterial pressure regulation, phosphate metabolism and homeostasis. This protein is a type II transmembrane protein and is thought to be expressed as a secreted protein. This gene is expressed mainly in testis with weak expression in the brain, kidney, and heart.
