    Abstract B cells exert a prominent contribution to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we review the immune mechanisms underlying autoreactive B cell activation in SLE, focusing on how B cell receptor and Toll-like receptor signals integrate to drive breaks in tolerance to nuclear antigens. In addition, we discuss autoantibody-dependent and autoantibody-independent B cell effector functions during lupus pathogenesis. Finally, we address efforts to target B cells therapeutically in human SLE. Despite initial disappointing clinical trials testing B cell depletion in lupus, more recent studies show promise, emphasizing how greater understanding of underlying immune mechanisms can yield clinical benefits.

    Abstract Importance: Out-of-pocket costs are a key driver of patient decisions to access, adhere and persist with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. The Medicare Benefits Schedule Review Taskforce proposes a 69% reduction in the scheduled fee for intravitreal injections (item 42 738) which risks increasing out-of-pocket costs for patients and worsening visual outcomes.
    Background: To determine the impact of out-of-pocket costs on current anti-VEGF utilization rates in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular oedema (DMO).
    Design: This is a retrospective cohort drug-utilization analysis.
    Participants: This study involved 11 592 patients in Australia diagnosed with nAMD or DMO.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis of electronic, de-identified dispensing records of patients diagnosed with nAMD or DMO who initiated anti-VEGF therapy between January 1, 2016 and December 2018 across Australia. Patients were categorized by treatment facility type: bulk-billing clinics (BBCs) and "rest of market" clinics (ROMCs).
    Main outcome measures: Dispensing quantities, intervals and persistence rates.
    Results: For patients with nAMD who initiated therapy between 2016 and 2018 the mean number of medicines dispensed up to September 30, 2019 was 17.0 for BBC and 13.8 for ROMC patients. For patients with DMO, the mean number of medicines dispensed was 16.5 for BBC patients and 12.5 for ROMC patients. Patients treated at BBCs had higher persistence rates than those treated at ROMCs. DMO patients had higher initiation rates BBCs (46%) vs ROMCs (25%).
    Conclusions and relevance: Lower out-of-pocket costs are associated with higher adherence and persistence rates for anti-VEGF therapy in patients with AMD and DMO and higher initiation rates for DMO patients.

    Abstract A large variety of dietary phytochemicals has been shown to improve thrombosis and stroke outcomes in preclinical studies. Many of these compounds feature electrophilic functionalities that potentially undergo covalent addition to the sulfhydryl side chain of cysteine residues within proteins. However, the impact of such covalent modifications on the platelet activity and function remains unclear. This study explores the irreversible engagement of 23 electrophilic phytochemicals with platelets, unveiling the unique antiplatelet selectivity of sulforaphane (SFN). SFN impairs platelet responses to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a thromboxane A2 receptor agonist while not affecting thrombin and collagen-related peptide activation. It also substantially reduces platelet thrombus formation under arterial flow conditions. Using an alkyne-integrated probe, protein disulfide isomerase A6 (PDIA6) was identified as a rapid kinetic responder to SFN. Mechanistic profiling studies revealed SFN's nuanced modulation of PDIA6 activity and substrate specificity. In an electrolytic injury model of thrombosis, SFN enhanced the thrombolytic activity of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) without increasing blood loss. Our results serve as a catalyst for further investigations into the preventive and therapeutic mechanisms of dietary antiplatelets, aiming to enhance the clot-busting power of rtPA, currently the only approved therapeutic for stroke recanalization that has significant limitations.

    Abstract Thrombosis with associated inflammation (thromboinflammation) occurs commonly in a broad range of human disorders. It is well recognized clinically in the context of superficial thrombophlebitis (thrombosis and inflammation of superficial veins); however, it is more dangerous when it develops in the microvasculature of injured tissues and organs. Microvascular thrombosis with associated inflammation is well recognized in the context of sepsis and ischemia-reperfusion injury; however, it also occurs in organ transplant rejection, major trauma, severe burns, the antiphospholipid syndrome, preeclampsia, sickle cell disease, and biomaterial-induced thromboinflammation. Central to thromboinflammation is the loss of the normal antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory functions of endothelial cells, leading to dysregulation of coagulation, complement, platelet activation, and leukocyte recruitment in the microvasculature. α-Thrombin plays a critical role in coordinating thrombotic and inflammatory responses and has long been considered an attractive therapeutic target to reduce thromboinflammatory complications. This review focuses on the role of basic aspects of coagulation and α-thrombin in promoting thromboinflammatory responses and discusses insights gained from clinical trials on the effects of various inhibitors of coagulation on thromboinflammatory disorders. Studies in sepsis patients have been particularly informative because, despite using anticoagulant approaches with different pharmacological profiles, which act at distinct points in the coagulation cascade, bleeding complications continue to undermine clinical benefit. Future advances may require the development of therapeutics with primary anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties, which have less impact on hemostasis. This may be possible with the growing recognition that components of blood coagulation and platelets have prothrombotic and proinflammatory functions independent of their hemostatic effects.

    Abstract The formation of blood clots--thrombosis--at sites of atherosclerotic plaque rupture is a major clinical problem despite ongoing improvements in antithrombotic therapy. Progress in identifying the pathogenic mechanisms regulating arterial thrombosis has led to the development of newer therapeutics, and there is general anticipation that these treatments will have greater efficacy and improved safety. However, major advances in this field require the identification of specific risk factors for arterial thrombosis in affected individuals and a rethink of the 'one size fits all' approach to antithrombotic therapy.

    Abstract Paraneoplastic bullous pemphigoid is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome. Rash is pruritic, with erythematous eruption of large subepidermal bullae over skin and often mucosal surfaces. We present an 84y woman with a three week history of erythematous rash, and 48hrs of bullae. A left clear cell renal cell carcinoma was identified on CT imaging during the presentation. Subsequent removal of the tumour resulted in resolution of bullous pemphigoid symptoms. This first-of-kind case and successful result strengthens the association between renal cell carcinoma and paraneoplastic bullous pemphigoid, arguing for a high degree of clinical suspicion in unexplained presentations of bullous pemphigoid.

    Abstract Recanalization with restored cerebral perfusion is the primary goal of thrombolytic therapy in acute ischemic stroke. The identification of adjunctive therapies that can be safely used to enhance thrombolysis in stroke remains an elusive goal. We report here the development of a mouse in situ carotid artery thrombolysis (iCAT) stroke model involving graded cerebral ischemia to induce unihemispheric infarction after thrombotic occlusion of the common carotid artery (CCA). Electrolytic-induced thrombotic occlusion of the left CCA enabled real-time assessment of recanalization and rethrombosis events after thrombolysis with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA). Concurrent transient stenosis of the right CCA induced unihemispheric hypoperfusion and infarction in the left middle cerebral artery territory. Real-time assessment of thrombolysis revealed recanalization rates <30% in rtPA-treated animals with high rates of rethrombosis. Addition of the direct thrombin inhibitor argatroban increased recanalization rates to 50% and reduced rethrombosis. Paradoxically, this was associated with increased cerebral ischemia and stroke-related mortality (25%-42%). Serial analysis of carotid and cerebral blood flow showed that coadministration of argatroban with rtPA resulted in a marked increase in carotid artery embolization, leading to distal obstruction of the middle cerebral artery. Real-time imaging of carotid thrombi revealed that adjunctive anticoagulation destabilized platelet-rich thrombi at the vessel wall, leading to dislodgement of large platelet emboli. These studies confirm the benefits of anticoagulants in enhancing thrombolysis and large artery recanalization; however, at high levels of anticoagulation (∼3-fold prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time), this effect is offset by increased incidence of carotid artery embolization and distal middle cerebral artery occlusion. The iCAT stroke model should provide important new insight into the effects of adjunctive antithrombotic agents on real-time thrombus dynamics during thrombolysis and their correlation with stroke outcomes.
