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 RAD51B

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAD51 protein family. RAD51 family members are evolutionarily conserved proteins essential for DNA repair by homologous recombination. This protein has been shown to form a stable heterodimer with the family member RAD51C, which further interacts with the other family members, such as RAD51, XRCC2, and XRCC3. Overexpression of this gene was found to cause cell cycle G1 delay and cell apoptosis, which suggested a role of this protein in sensing DNA damage. Rearrangements between this locus and high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2, GeneID 8091) have been observed in uterine leiomyomata. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
