Abstract:

The current system in place to study safety of medicines after introduction on the market relies on spontaneous reporting. Adverse events occurring long after initiation or cessation of drug use are likely to be missed by this system. In this thesis we explore methods to identify signals of long-term, unexpected adverse events and methods to evaluate these signals. We utilised data from the UK General Practice Research Database (GPRD), a large primary care database. A systematic review investigating the validity of medical diagnoses recorded in this database illustrated that the GPRD is a powe

Abstract:

The human being and other animals contain immensely complex biochemical processes that govern their function on a cellular level. It is estimated that several thousand small molecules (metabolites) are produced by various biochemical pathways in humans. Pathological processes can introduce perturbations in these biochemical pathways which can lead to changes in the amounts of some metabolites.Developments in analytical chemistry have made it possible measure a large number metabolites in a single blood sample, which gives a metabolic profile.

Abstract:

An autoimmune disease is a disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body‘s own cells and tissues. Different body parts like digestive system, joints, nerves, blood vessels, red blood cells, connective tissues, skin and endocrine system can be affected. It‘s found that autoimmune diseases and conditions predominantly affect people during the childhood. Autoimmune disease and condition symptoms vary from individual to individual.

Pathogens that affect the immune system, or defects in the immune system contribute to numerous autoimmune diseases.

The papers that are to be reviewed explore the observation of loss of regulatory T cells in individuals with multiple sclerosis, the importance of CD4+ during HIV infection, the role of CCR6 in the immune system and the importance of Pan-DR-Binding Hsp60 self-epitopes in rheumatoid arthritis.

Using genetic association studies, we found in study I and II that sequence variants of the interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) gene were associated with RA and asthma, and the associations were more pronounced in certain disease subtypes.

Abstract:

The autoimmune diseases embody a diverse range of common human conditions that are caused by a loss of self-tolerance in the host immune system to a specific organ or tissue type. Approximately 5% of the general population are affected by autoimmune diseases which include type 1 diabetes (T1D), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Graves disease (GD). The majority of the autoimmune diseases are multifactorial in origin, brought about by a combination of both environmental and genetic factors. Numerous susceptibility loci have been identified for each autoimmune disease and a number of these loci have

Abstract:

Cytosolic DNA sensing plays a key role in autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases. STING is a cytosolic adaptor protein which upon activation leads to induction of type I interferons and inflammatory cytokines. Recently, gain-of-function mutations in STING have been identified in patients with an autoinflammatory disease called STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI). We compared two independent SAVI mutant mouse models and revealed a hierarchy of immune abnormalities which were dependent on SAVI mutation in lymphocytes. We also showed that bone marrow from the V154M mutant

Abstract:

The aetiology of autoimmune disease is a complex interplay between genetics, environment and immunological regulation. Our understanding of the genetic aspects of autoimmunity has increased with recent findings from Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS). There is now a movement towards meta-analyses of GWA studies in order to increase the number of genetic loci detected. There are also efforts to detect common genetic risk factors amongst groups of diseases that potentially share common aetiopathogenic pathways. Animal models have formed the basis of many genetic discoveries and the domestic

Abstract:

The molecular mechanisms governing T helper (Th) cell differentiation and function have revealed a complex network of transcriptional and protein regulators. Cytokines not only initiate the differentiation of CD4 T helper into subsets, but also influence the identity, plasticity and effector function of a T cell. Th17 cells, named for producing interleukin 17 (IL-17) as their signature cytokine, secrete a cohort of other cytokines including IL-22, IL-21, IL-10, IL-9, IFNγ, and GM-CSF. In recent years, Th17 cells have emerged as a key player in host defense against both extracellular pathogen

Abstract:

Autoimmune diseases are clinical manifestations of a loss-of-tolerance of the immune system against the body’s own substances and healthy tissues. Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are two chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases characterized by autoantibody production and an activated type I interferon system. Although the precise mechanisms leading to autoimmune processes are not well defined, recent studies suggest that aberrant DNA methylation and gene expression patterns may play a central role in the pathogenesis of these disorders.

Autoimmune diseases are chronic and debilitating conditions arising from abnormal immune responses directed against normal body tissues; they collectively affect the lives of 5-10% of the world population. These diseases often show familial clustering, suggesting strong genetic heritability. For many of autoimmune diseases, variation in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes is the primary modulator of genetic risk. Recently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified hundreds of genomic regions outside the HLA that harbor additional risk-conferring variants. The ultimate goal is to id
