Article Abstract
Mutations in the cold-induced autoinflammatory syndrome 1 (CIAS1) gene have been recently linked to three chronic autoinflammatory disorders. These observations point to an important role for CIAS1 in regulating inflammatory processes. We report that TNF-alpha and ligands recognized by multiple Toll-like receptors rapidly induce CIAS1 gene expression in primary human monocytes. Transfection of full-length CIAS1 or either of two shorter, naturally occurring isoforms dramatically inhibited TNF-alpha-induced activation of NF-kappaB reporter activity. Furthermore, CIAS1 suppressed TNF-alpha-induced nuclear translocation of endogenous p65. Transcriptional activity of exogenous NF-kappaB p65 was also blocked by CIAS1. The nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat regions, but not the pyrin domain of CIAS1, are responsible for this inhibition. These data suggest CIAS1/cryopyrin may act as a key regulator of inflammation, induced to dampen NF-kappaB-dependent proinflammatory signals.

The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3, also called cryopyrin) inflammasome is an intracellular innate immune complex, which consists of the pattern-recognition receptor NLRP3, the adaptor apoptosis-assciated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain, and procaspase-1. Aberrant activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome causes an autoinflammatory disease called cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS). CAPS is caused by gain-of-function mutations in the NLRP3-encoding gene CIAS1; however, the mechanism of CAPS pathogenesis has not been fully understood.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers focused on a specific genetic variant in the CIAS1 gene (rs74163773), which influences inflammasome activity, by analyzing DNA from patients with severe and mild COVID and healthy controls.
- * Results showed that the 12 unit repeat allele in CIAS1 is much more common in severe cases, indicating that this genetic factor may increase the risk for developing severe COVID-19 due to heightened inflammatory responses.

Prenatal diagnosis of genetic disease requires DNA analysis of fetal tissue of a responsible gene. Accurate diagnosis is useful for the appropriate management of pregnancy. However, maternal contamination of fetal specimens poses a high preanalytical risk of prenatal misdiagnosis.

Familial cold inflammatory syndrome (FCAS) is a rare, inherited inflammatory disease characterized by episodes of fever, rash, and arthralgias after exposure to cold stimuli. Previous literature has established FCAS linked to autosomal dominant mutations in the NLRP3 (CIAS1) and NLRP12 genes. Moreover, there has been recent evidence of NLRC4-inflammasomopathies.

Objectives: Palindromic rheumatism (PR) is a type of acute arthritis or periarthritis characterized by recurrence, paroxysmal, or intermittent disease attacks and occasionally progresses to other types of rheumatic disease. PR patients who are anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA)-negative have a high prevalence of MEFV gene polymorphisms, and intermittent hydrarthrosis (IH) is also associated with MEFV polymorphisms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of and autoinflammatory syndrome-associated gene polymorphisms in patients with PR and IH and to identify predictive factors for developing other rheumatic diseases.
