VEXAS-Syndrom

Abstract: ZusammenfassungDas VEXAS-Syndrom ist eine neu identifizierte autoinflammatorische Systemerkrankung. Das Akronym VEXAS steht hier für Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, Autoinflammatory, Somatic. Die Erkrankung beruht auf einer erworbenen somatischen Mutation des UBA1-Gens. Dieses kodiert für das E1-Enzym, welches wiederum für die Ubiquitinierung von Proteinen verantwortlich ist. Aufgrund der Lage des Gens auf dem X‑Chromosom betrifft die Erkrankung überwiegend Männer (in der zweiten Lebenshälfte). Die Patienten we… Show more

“…Our case appears interesting because one imaging key feature (arteritis) is missing completely, 4 whereas another imaging key feature (muscle uptake) is comparably insignificant and does not resemble the previously reported “leopard man” appearance 6 . Although bone marrow FDG uptake appears to be the most common PET finding in VEXAS cases, 2,6–9 tracheal FDG uptake, as observed in our case, is reported for the first time in a VEXAS patient to the best of our knowledge. Tracheal involvement is, however, well in line with the common clinical manifestation of chondritis in VEXAS syndrome 3 .…”

“…Impairment of the ubiquitination process leads to a disruption of protein activation and degradation, and interactions between them. This, in turn, results in the formation and accumulation of misfolded, abnormal peptides, which generate endoplasmic reticulum-related cellular stress [8][9][10]. The dysfunction of the ubiquitin-proteasome system and its role in inducing immune responses is confirmed by increased phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2a (eIF2-a) and X-box binding protein 1 (XBP 1) [11].…”

“…The UBA1 mutation and the aforementioned molecular abnormalities are observed in haematopoietic cells of the myeloid and erythroid lineages of the bone marrow and in mature peripheral blood cells (neutrophils, monocytes). Mutant neutrophils and monocytes overexpressed tumour necrosis factor a (TNF-a), interleukin (IL) 1, 6 and 8, interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and interferon-induced protein 10 (IFIT-10) [7,10]. In addition, increased production of neutrophil extracellular nets (NETosis) that also have pro-inflammatory potential was observed in patients with VEXAS syndrome [7].…”

“…Korrelierend wird im PET-CT in Einzelfällen eine übermäßige Stoffwechselaktivität im Knochenmark als Ausdruck der hyperinflammatorischen Aktivität beschrieben ( Abb. 2 ) 13 . Die Diagnosesicherung sollte mittels Gendiagnostik auf die somatische Mutation des UBA 1-Gens auf dem X-Chromosom getestet werden.…”
