    Abstract The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is expressed in many cell types - including immune cells and in particular circulating monocytes. Here, the receptor plays an important physiological role as a regulator of constitutive macropinocytosis. This review article provides an overview of the literature on the role of the calcium sensing receptor in the context of inflammatory processes. Special emphasis is laid upon the importance for monocytes in the context of rheumatoid arthritis. We have shown previously, that stimulation of the receptor by increased extracellular Ca

    Abstract Background: Vaccination rates are known to be low in patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD). We therefore aimed to determine current vaccination rates against influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae and herpes zoster in a cohort of patients with AIIRD in Germany.
    Methods: Consecutive adult patients with an AIIRD were recruited from our outpatient clinic during their regular consultations. The individual vaccination status regarding influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae and herpes zoster was obtained by reviewing the vaccination documents.
    Results: A total of 222 AIIRD patients (mean age 62.9 ± 13.9 years) were included. In total, 68.5% were vaccinated against influenza, 34.7% against Streptococcus pneumoniae and 13.1% against herpes zoster (HZ). The pneumococcal vaccination was outdated in 29.4% of the vaccinated patients. Vaccination rates were significantly higher in patients ≥60 years old (odds ratio (OR) 2.167, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.213-3.870,
    Conclusions: The frequencies of vaccinations against influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae and HZ have increased during recent years. While this can be partly explained by continuous efforts in patient education during the outpatient visits, the COVID-19 pandemic might also have contributed. Nevertheless, the persistently high incidence and mortality of these preventable diseases in patients with AIIRDs mandates further efforts to increase vaccination coverage, particularly in SLE patients.

    Abstract (1) Background: To date, the response of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to the various biologic DMARD available cannot be predicted due to a lack of reliable biomarkers. Based on our preliminary work on tmTNF reverse signaling, we developed a whole-blood assay measuring tmTNF crosslinking-induced IL-10 production to predict the response to TNF inhibitor (TNFi) therapy. (2) Methods: This prospective study included patients with active RA. Depending on the clinical judgment of the attending rheumatologist, either therapy with a TNF or JAK inhibitor was initiated. Clinical parameters and blood samples were obtained at baseline and after 8 weeks of therapy. The blood samples were collected using a newly developed whole-blood assay based on the principle of tmTNF reverse signalling. Subsequently, IL-10 was measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. (3) Results: 63 patients with RA were enrolled. In fifteen patients, TNFi therapy was initiated, while eight patients started a JAKi treatment. The cross-sectional analysis of all patients showed a positive correlation between tmTNF crosslinking-induced IL-10 and parameters of disease activity (CRP [r = 0.4091,

    Abstract Objectives: CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) T cells are expanded in the peripheral blood of a subset of patients with RA. This study examines the clinical significance of DP T cells in RA.
    Methods: In 70 RA patients, DP T cells were measured by flow cytometry. Clinical data were obtained, and hand and feet radiographs were scored according to the Sharp/van der Heijde (SvdH) method. The association between DP T cell frequency and erosive joint destruction was analysed by correlation and multiple logistic regression analysis.
    Results: Nineteen RA patients (27.1%) displayed increased DP T cell frequencies, which correlated with age (r = 0.288, P =0.016). Expansion of DP T cells was associated with the occurrence of erosions (94,7% vs 43,1%, P <0.001), with a higher SvdH joint damage score (24.5 vs 6, P =0.008) and with more frequent use of biologic or targeted-synthetic DMARDs (68.4% vs 38%, P =0.02). In patients with non-erosive disease, DP T cell frequencies correlated with the joint space narrowing score (n = 28, r = 0.44, P =0.02). Logistic regression revealed DP T cells to be associated with erosive disease (OR 1.90, P <0.05).
    Conclusion: Expansion of DP T cells is associated with joint damage and frequent escalation of therapy, possibly suggesting a contribution to more severe RA.

    Abstract Objectives: Successful vaccination is key to overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic. Immunosuppressive medication is known to potentially compromise vaccination responses, and expansion of our knowledge on vaccination efficacy in patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD) is therefore of utmost importance.
    Methods: We conducted a single-centre observational study and evaluated the efficacy of approved COVID-19 vaccines in 303 adult AIIRD patients. Serum levels of IgG antibodies against the S1 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins (anti-S IgG) were measured at least two weeks after vaccination. In a subgroup of patients without humoral response, T-cell responses were determined using an interferon-γ gamma release assay.
    Results: Overall seropositivity rate was 78.5% and was significantly lower in patients under immunosuppressive therapy (75.7 vs 93.2%, P = 0.009). No difference regarding the vaccination type was observed. Glucocorticoids, mycophenolate-mofetil, TNF inhibitors, tocilizumab, abatacept and rituximab were all associated with non-response after proper vaccination. The risk was highest under RTX therapy (OR 0.004, 95% CI 0.001, 0.023, P < 0.0001). A strong negative correlation was observed between time since vaccination with an mRNA vaccine and anti-S antibody levels (r=-0.6149, P < 0.0001). In patients without humoral response, a T-cell response was found in 50%.
    Conclusions: COVID-19 vaccination in patients with AIIRD is effective using any approved vaccine. Humoral response might be impaired depending on the individual immunosuppressive medication. The risk of non-response is highest under rituximab therapy. Anti-S IgG antibody levels wane over time after mRNA vaccination. Importantly, 50% of humoral non-responders showed a T-cellular response, suggesting T-cell-mediated protection to a certain extent.
