    Abstract A/J mice bearing the H-2 allele IA(k) are highly susceptible to autoimmune myocarditis induced with cardiac myosin heavy chain (Myhc)-α 334-352, whereas B10.A mice carrying a similar allele IA(k) are relatively resistant, suggesting that the generation of Myhc-α-reactive T cell repertoires is influenced by genetic background. To enumerate the precursor frequencies of Myhc-α-specific CD4 T cells, we sought to create IA(k) tetramers for Myhc-α 334-352. Tetramers were created using approaches that involve covalent tethering of individual peptide sequences or exogenous loading of peptides into empty IA(k) molecules by peptide-exchange reaction. Using ribonuclease 43-56 tetramers as controls, we demonstrated that by flow cytometry (FC), Myhc-α 334-352 tetramers specifically bind myosin-reactive T cells. CD4 cells isolated from A/J mice immunized with Myhc-α 334-352 were used to optimize conditions for tetramer staining, and neuraminidase treatment prior to tetramer staining permitted the detection of Myhc-α-specific cells ex vivo. The reagents are useful tools for monitoring the frequency of Myhc-α-reactive CD4 cells and to determine their pathogenic potential at a single cell level by FC.

    Abstract Myocarditis can result from various infectious and non-infectious causes that can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and heart failure. Among the infectious causes, viruses are commonly suspected. But the challenge is our inability to demonstrate infectious viral particles during clinical presentations, partly because by that point, the viruses would have damaged the tissues and be cleared by the immune system. Therefore, viral signatures such as viral nucleic acids and virus-reactive antibodies may be the only readouts pointing to viruses as potential primary triggers of DCM. Thus, it becomes hard to explain persistent inflammatory infiltrates that might occur in individuals affected with chronic myocarditis/DCM manifesting myocardial dysfunctions. In these circumstances, autoimmunity is suspected, and antibodies to various autoantigens have been demonstrated, suggesting that immune therapies to suppress the autoimmune responses may be necessary. From this perspective, we endeavoured to determine whether or not the known viral causes are associated with development of autoimmune responses to cardiac antigens that include both cardiotropic and non-cardiotropic viruses. If so, what their nature and significance are in developing chronic myocarditis resulting from viruses as primary triggers.

    Abstract The current study was designed to test a functional food (FF) mixture containing aldose reductase inhibitors and antiglycation bioactive compounds for suppressing the onset and progression of cataracts in a diabetic rat model. Two-month-old Sprague Dawley rats were grouped as control (C), diabetes untreated (D), and diabetic rats treated with FF at two doses (FF1 = 1.35 g and FF2 = 6.25 g/100g of diet). Diabetes was induced by a single injection of streptozotocin. The FF is a mixture of amla, turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, and fenugreek added to the rodent diet. The status of cataracts was monitored weekly by a slit lamp examination for 20 weeks, after which animals were sacrificed to collect eye lenses. Feeding FF1 and FF2 to diabetic rats yielded a significant anti-hyperglycaemic effect and marginally prevented body weight loss. FF delayed cataract progression, and FF2 showed better efficacy than FF1. FF prevented the loss of lens crystallins and their insolubilization in diabetic rats. The antioxidant potential of FF was evident with the lowered protein carbonyls, lipid peroxidation, and prevention of altered antioxidant enzyme activities induced by diabetes. These studies demonstrate the efficacy of plant-derived dietary supplements against the onset and progression of cataracts in a well-established rat model of diabetic eye disease.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic value of QuantiFERON Gold (QFT-G) testing for ocular inflammation in a low prevalence tuberculosis (TB) area.
    Design: Diagnostic utility analysis.
    Methods: A review was performed for all uveitis patients who underwent QFT-G testing at the University of Colorado Eye Center from 2009 to 2022. Records were reviewed to assess QFT-G positivity rate and to identify which patients were tested for diagnostic purposes, defined as meeting the Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN) criteria for tubercular uveitis (TBU): anterior uveitis with iris nodules, serpiginous-like choroiditis, choroidal nodule resembling a tuberculoma, multifocal choroiditis, or occlusive retinal vasculitis.
    Results: A total of 388 patients with uveitis underwent QFT-G testing, of which 17 (4.38%) were positive. Only one (5.88%) patient had true TBU with anterior uveitis with iris nodules. The remaining 16 (94.1%) patients did not meet SUN criteria for TBU and were incidentally found to be QFT-G positive during laboratory work-up prior to immunosuppression. The positive predictive value was 100% when QFT-G testing was performed in patients who met SUN criteria for TBU, whereas the positive predictive value was 0% for QFT-G testing performed in patients who did not meet SUN criteria for TBU.
    Conclusion: In low prevalence areas, the majority of QFT-G positive tests in uveitis patients are coincidental and unrelated to their uveitic disease process. The diagnostic value of a TB test is likely to be minimal unless the SUN clinical criteria for tubercular uveitis are met.
