A mild form of LIMITED SCLERODERMA, a multi-system disorder. Its features include symptoms of CALCINOSIS; RAYNAUD DISEASE; ESOPHAGEAL MOTILITY DISORDERS; sclerodactyly, and TELANGIECTASIS. When the defect in esophageal function is not prominent, it is known as CRST syndrome.
Permanent dilation of preexisting blood vessels (CAPILLARIES; ARTERIOLES; VENULES) creating small focal red lesions, most commonly in the skin or mucous membranes. It is characterized by the prominence of skin blood vessels, such as vascular spiders.
A characteristic symptom complex.
An idiopathic vascular disorder characterized by bilateral Raynaud phenomenon, the abrupt onset of digital paleness or CYANOSIS in response to cold exposure or stress.
A term used to describe a variety of localized asymmetrical SKIN thickening that is similar to those of SYSTEMIC SCLERODERMA but without the disease features in the multiple internal organs and BLOOD VESSELS. Lesions may be characterized as patches or plaques (morphea), bands (linear), or nodules.
INFLAMMATION of any ARTERIES.
A chronic multi-system disorder of CONNECTIVE TISSUE. It is characterized by SCLEROSIS in the SKIN, the LUNGS, the HEART, the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT, the KIDNEYS, and the MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM. Other important features include diseased small BLOOD VESSELS and AUTOANTIBODIES. The disorder is named for its most prominent feature (hard skin), and classified into subsets by the extent of skin thickening: LIMITED SCLERODERMA and DIFFUSE SCLERODERMA.
FIBROSIS of the hepatic parenchyma due to obstruction of BILE flow (CHOLESTASIS) in the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts (BILE DUCTS, INTRAHEPATIC; BILE DUCTS, EXTRAHEPATIC). Primary biliary cirrhosis involves the destruction of small intra-hepatic bile ducts and bile secretion. Secondary biliary cirrhosis is produced by prolonged obstruction of large intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts from a variety of causes.
Hand-held tools or implements used by health professionals for the performance of surgical tasks.
Antibodies that react with self-antigens (AUTOANTIGENS) of the organism that produced them.
A rapid onset form of SYSTEMIC SCLERODERMA with progressive widespread SKIN thickening over the arms, the legs and the trunk, resulting in stiffness and disability.
A disease characterized by the progressive invasion of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS into the LYMPHATIC VESSELS, and the BLOOD VESSELS. The majority of the cases occur in the LUNGS of women of child-bearing age, eventually blocking the flow of air, blood, and lymph. The common symptom is shortness of breath (DYSPNEA).
An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p903)
The least progressive form of SYSTEMIC SCLERODERMA with skin thickening restricted to the face, neck and areas distal to the elbows and/or knees, sparing the trunk. The CREST SYNDROME is a form of limited scleroderma.
A group of disorders resulting from the abnormal proliferation of and tissue infiltration by LANGERHANS CELLS which can be detected by their characteristic Birbeck granules (X bodies), or by monoclonal antibody staining for their surface CD1 ANTIGENS. Langerhans-cell granulomatosis can involve a single organ, or can be a systemic disorder.

Autoantibodies to the extracellular matrix microfibrillar protein, fibrillin-1, in patients with scleroderma and other connective tissue diseases. (1/32)

A duplication in the fibrillin-1 gene has been implicated as the cause of the tight skin 1 (tsk1) phenotype, an animal model of scleroderma or systemic sclerosis (SSc). In addition to the production of abnormal fibrillin-1 protein, the tsk1 mouse also produces autoantibodies to fibrillin-1. Among a population of Choctaw Native Americans with the highest prevalence of SSc yet described, a chromosome 15q haplotype containing the fibrillin-1 gene has been strongly associated with SSc. With a recombinant human fibrillin-1 protein, autoantibodies to fibrillin-1 were detected in the sera of Native American SSc patients that correlated significantly with disease. Abs to fibrillin-1 also were detected in sera from Japanese, Caucasian, and African-American SSc patients. Compared with other ethnic groups, Japanese and Native American SSc patients had significantly higher frequencies of anti-fibrillin-1 Abs. Sera from patients with diffuse SSc, calcinosis, Raynaud's, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasias syndrome and mixed connective tissue disease also had significantly higher frequencies of anti-fibrillin-1 Abs than sera from controls or patients with other non-SSc connective tissue diseases (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogren's syndrome). Ab specificity for fibrillin-1 was demonstrated by the lack of binding to a panel of other purified autoantigens. The results presented demonstrate for the first time the presence of high levels of anti-fibrillin-1 Abs in a significant portion of patients with SSc.  (+info)

Phlebosclerosis of the colon with positive anti-centromere antibody. (2/32)

A 56-year-old woman with symptoms of chronic bowel disease presented a peculiar calcification of the mesenteric vein of the ascending to transverse colon on barium enema study. The resected colon was hard and black. Histo-pathologic examinations demonstrated fibrous change of the colon with a calcified and hyaline-deposited mesenteric vein. No cell infiltration was observed. These findings were compatible with phlebosclerosis and also with systemic sclerosis. Positive anti-centromere antibody and Raynaud's phenomenon, hallmarks of a variant systemic sclerosis, the CREST syndrome were observed. We therefore speculated that the pathogenesis of the phlebosclerosis of the colon is related to the CREST syndrome.  (+info)

The mammalian centromere: structural domains and the attenuation of chromatin modeling. (3/32)

The centromere-kinetochore complex can be divided into distinct domains based on structure and function. Previous work has used CREST auto-antibodies with various microscopic techniques to map the locations of proteins within the centromere-kinetochore complex and to analyze the maturation of prekinetochores before mitosis. Here we have focused on the centromere-specific histone Centromere Protein (CENP)-A and its spatial relationship to other histones and histone modifications found in condensed chromatin. We demonstrate that the phosphorylation of histone H3 is essentially excluded from a specific region of centromeric chromatin, defined by the presence of CENP-A. Interspersion of CENP-B with phosphorylated H3 in the inner centromere indicates that the exclusion of H3 modification is not a general property of alpha-satellite DNA. We also demonstrate that these regions are functionally distinct by fragmenting mitotic chromatin into motile centromere-kinetochore fragments that contain CENP-A with little or no phosphorylated H3 and nonmotile fragments that contain exclusively phosphorylated H3. The sequence of CENP-A diverges from H3 in a number of key residues involved in chromosome condensation and in transcription, potentially allowing a more specialized chromatin structure within centromeric heterochromatin, on which kinetochore plates may nucleate and mature. This specialized centromere subdomain would be predicted to have a very tight and static nucleosome structure as a result of the absence of H3 phosphorylation and acetylation.  (+info)

Clinical, serological and genetic study in patients with CREST syndrome. (4/32)

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical, serological and genetic features of Japanese patients with CREST syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Clinical features, autoantibodies and human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing were studied in thirty patients with CREST syndrome, including 29 females and one male, with a mean age of 59.0 years (ranging from 40 to 76 years). RESULTS: Interstitial pneumonia on chest X-ray and renal involvement were rare. Mitral regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation were present in 56.7% and 76.7%, respectively. Sjoren's syndrome (SS) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) were highly associated, however the positivity of the marker antibodies to those syndromes, such as anti-SSA, anti-SSB, anti-mitochondrial (AMA) and anti-smooth muscle autoantibodies were less frequent than that of primary SS and PBC without the other autoimmune diseases. The histological findings of PBC were all early stages in Scheuer's classification. HLA-Cw6 were associated with CREST-PBC overlap syndrome (p<0.05). However the HLA antigen was not correlated with CREST syndrome, and the frequency of HLA-DR2 between CREST syndrome with or without PBC was significantly different (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: It was suggested that there was a genetic difference between CREST syndrome alone and CREST-PBC overlap syndrome and there were differences (the positivity of AMA and the severity of bile duct lesion) between PBC and CREST-PBC overlap syndrome.  (+info)

Autoimmune hepatitis and systemic sclerosis: a new overlap syndrome? (5/32)

OBJECTIVE: We report the cases of two patients with the complete CREST variant (calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, oesophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, telangiectasia) of systemic sclerosis (SSc) who developed autoimmune hepatitis. RESULTS: Our findings suggest that autoimmune hepatitis can be considered to be one of the liver manifestations associated with SSc. Our data also indicate that, because liver involvement may precede skin manifestations, evaluation for SSc is appropriate when autoimmune hepatitis is noted, and that the evaluation should include clinical examination, testing for antinuclear antibodies (especially for anticentromere antibodies) and nailfold capillaroscopy. CONCLUSIONS: From a practical point of view, our two cases emphasize that suspicion of autoimmune hepatitis in SSc patients presenting with cytolytic hepatitis will help to achieve both accurate diagnosis and optimal management.  (+info)

Progressive interstitial renal fibrosis due to Chinese herbs in a patient with calcinosis Raynaud esophageal sclerodactyly telangiectasia (CREST) syndrome. (6/32)

A 58-year-old woman with calcinosis Raynaud esophageal sclerodactyly telangiectasia (CREST) syndrome presented with slowly progressive renal dysfunction. She was normotensive with normal plasma renin activity and lacking symptoms of vasculitis. Mild proteinuria was of tubular origin, but serological tests and an absence of sicca symptoms excluded the possibility of Sjogren's syndrome. Light microscopic study of renal biopsy showed interstitial fibrosis with ectasia and degeneration of proximal tubule and lymphocyte infiltration. There were no remarkable changes in the glomeruli. Chromatographic analysis of the Chinese herbs regimen that she had been taking for several years demonstrated aristolochic acid. She was diagnosed as Chinese herbs nephropathy. Therapy with oral prednisolone was markedly effective in improving renal function and anemia. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Chinese herbs nephropathy complicating connective tissue disease. It is important to consider the possibility of Chinese herbs nephropathy when patients treated with Chinese herbs develop renal dysfunction.  (+info)

Induction of kinetochore-positive and kinetochore-negative micronuclei in CHO cells by ELF magnetic fields and/or X-rays. (7/32)

To test the genotoxic effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields, the induction of micronuclei by exposure to ELF magnetic fields and/or X-rays was investigated in cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, using the cytokinesis block method. Micronuclei derived from acentric fragments or from whole chromosomes were evaluated by immunofluorescent staining using anti-kinetochore antibodies from the serum of scleroderma (CREST syndrome) patients. A 60 Hz ELF magnetic field at 5 mT field strength was applied, either before or after 1 Gy X-ray irradiation or without additional X-ray irradiation. No statistically significant difference in the frequency of micronuclei in CHO cells was observed between a sham exposure (no exposure to an ELF magnetic field) and a 24 h ELF magnetic field exposure. Exposure to an ELF magnetic field for 24 h before X-ray irradiation or for 18 h after X-ray irradiation did not affect the frequency of X-ray-induced micronuclei. However, the number of kinetochore-positive micronuclei was significantly increased in the cells subjected to X-ray irradiation followed by ELF magnetic field exposure, but not in the cells treated with ELF magnetic field exposure before X-ray irradiation, compared with exposure to X-rays alone. The number of spontaneous kinetochore-positive and kinetochore-negative micronuclei was not affected by exposure to an ELF magnetic field alone. Our data suggest that exposure to an ELF magnetic field has no effect on the number of spontaneous and X-ray-induced micronuclei. However, ELF magnetic field exposure after but not before X-ray irradiation may somehow accelerate X-ray-induced lagging of whole chromosomes (or centric fragments) in CHO cells.  (+info)

Human ninein is a centrosomal autoantigen recognized by CREST patient sera and plays a regulatory role in microtubule nucleation. (8/32)

Centrosome is the major microtubule organizing center in mammalian cells that plays a critical role in a variety of cellular events by the microtubule arrays emanating from it. Despite its significance, the molecular mechanisms underlying the structure and function of the centrosome are still not clear. Herein we describe the identification of three isotypes of human ninein by expression library screening with autoimmune sera from CREST patients. All three ninein isotypes exhibit centrosomal localization throughout the cell cycle when GFP-tagged fusion proteins are expressed transiently in mammalian cells. Construction of serial deletions of GFP-tagged ninein reveals that a stretch of three leucine zippers with a flanking sequence is required and sufficient for centrosomal targeting. Overexpression of ninein results in mislocalization of gamma-tubulin, recruiting it to ectopic (noncentrosomal) ninein-containing sites which are not active in nucleating microtubules. In these cells, nucleation of microtubules from the centrosome is also inhibited. These results thus suggest a regulatory role for ninein in microtubule nucleation.  (+info)

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a rare, but serious, cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (4% of all gastric hemorrhages). The endoscopic findings are characteristic: linear images, oriented radially and converging on the pylorus (watermelon stomach1,4).. This condition is associated with underlying chronic diseases, mostly with liver cirrhosis. In autoimmune diseases, it is related to the presence of Raynauds phenomenon, and is the form most widely reported of the limited subtype of scleroderma (calcinosis, Raynauds phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, telangiectasia [CREST syndrome]).5,6 The largest series of patients with GAVE includes 45 individuals, 62% of whom also had a connective tissue disease, predominantly with Raynauds phenomenon (31%) and sclerodactyly (20%).7. The etiology and pathogenesis of GAVE are unknown; one hypothesis is that the histological changes, especially in the lamina propria, are due to a fibromuscular proliferation, vascular ...

We report a case of 62-year-old Tunisian woman with a 10-year history of a CREST syndrome (systemic sclerosis meeting the criteria of the CREST syndrome of the 1980 American College of Rheumatology classification for raynaud phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly and telangiectasia). Her daughter is treated in neurology for myasthenia gravis. Our patient presents a 5-month history of increasing inflammatory right thumb pain concomitant with the discovery of a subcutaneous hard mass (A). Radiographs of her thumb showed a sub-cutaneous calcification (as another part of the CREST syndrome criteria) (B). X-rays of hands found an acro-osteolysis (C). In the CREST syndrome, the calcific deposits can be subclinical. But, when symptomatic, it becomes painful, tender and an inflammatory reaction can occur facing the calcinosis.
CREST syndrome, also known as the limited cutaneous form of systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) is a multisystem connective tissue disorder. The acronym CREST refers to the five main features: calcinosis, Raynauds phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia. It is associated with detectable antibodies against centromeres (a component of the cell nucleus), and usually spares the kidneys (a feature more common in the related condition systemic scleroderma). If the lungs are involved, it is usually in the form of pulmonary arterial hypertension. CREST causes thickening and tightening of the skin with deposition of calcific nodules (calcinosis). Raynauds phenomenon is frequently the first manifestation of CREST/lcSSc, preceding other symptoms by years. Stress and cold temperature induce an exaggerated vasoconstriction of the small arteries, arterioles, and thermoregulatory vessels of the skin of the digits. Clinically this manifests as a white-blue-red transitions in skin ...

The symptoms involved in CREST syndrome are associated with the generalized form of the disease Systemic sclerosis, scleroderma. CREST is an acronym for the clinical features that are seen in a patient with this disease. The C stands for calcinosis, where calcium deposits form under the skin on the fingers or other areas of the body. The R stands for Raynauds phenomenon, spasm of blood vessels in the fingers or toes in response to cold or stress. The E represents esophageal dysmotility, which can cause difficulty in swallowing. The S is for sclerodactyly, tightening of the skin causing the fingers to bend. Finally, the letter T is for telangiectasia, dilated vessels on the skin of the fingers, face, or inside of the mouth. Usually only 2 of the 5 symptoms of the CREST syndrome is necessary to be diagnosed with the disease. ...
CREST syndrome A less severe form of scleroderma is called CREST.. The CREST syndrome represents symptoms including calcium skin deposits; Raynauds phenomenon (a condition in which the blood vessels of the fingers and toes go into spasm when triggered by factors such as cold, stress, or illness; the result is cold, painful, or numb fingers and toes which in severe cases may become gangrenous); esophageal dysfunction (problems with the esophagus, the tube between the mouth and the stomach); sclerodactyly (skin damage on fingers); and telangiectasia (spider veins), limits skin damage to the fingers.. However, this disease, when coupled with pulmonary hypertension (elevated blood pressures within the lungs), can lead to heart and respiratory failure.. ...

Stage I: There is edema which is non-pitting and microscopically there is edema, perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate, capillaries and small arteries are thickened, and there is collagen deposition.. Stage II: Due to an increase in collagen formation, wrinkles disappear. The epidermis becomes thin.. Stage III: This is the atrophic stage where claw-like hand, the face is drawn and mask. Microscopically there is atrophy of the epidermis and increase collagen. Calcification may be seen.. In the late stages due to loss of blood supply ulceration may take place..

Scleroderma is a group of autoimmune diseases that may result in changes to the skin, blood vessels, muscles, and internal organs.[2][6][8] The disease can be either localized to the skin or involve other organs, as well.[2] Symptoms may include areas of thickened skin, stiffness, feeling tired, and poor blood flow to the fingers or toes with cold exposure.[1] One form of the condition, known as CREST syndrome, classically results in calcium deposits, Raynauds syndrome, esophageal problems, thickening of the skin of the fingers and toes, and areas of small, dilated blood vessels.[1] The cause is unknown, but it may be due to an abnormal immune response.[2] Risk factors include family history, certain genetic factors, and exposure to silica.[3][4][5] The underlying mechanism involves the abnormal growth of connective tissue, which is believed to be the result of the immune system attacking healthy tissues.[6] Diagnosis is based on symptoms, supported by a skin biopsy or blood tests.[6] While no ...
Extremely low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fields have previously been shown to affect conformation of chromatin, cell proliferation, and calcium metabolism. Possible mutagenic and carcinogenic effects of ELF have also been discussed and tested. In this study, intrachromosomal recombination in the hprt gene after exposure to ELF magnetic field was investigated using the SPD8 recombination assay. SPD8 cells, derived from V79 Chinese hamster cells were exposed to ELF at a specific combination of static and ELF magnetic fields, that has been proven to have effects on chromatin conformation in several cell types. The genotoxic agent camptothecin (CPT) was used either as a positive control or simultaneously with ELF. We also analysed the effect of ELF and CPT on chromatin conformation with the anomalous viscosity time dependence (AVTD) technique, cell growth kinetics, and cell survival with clonogenic assay. DNA fragmentation was analysed by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). ELF did not induce ...

Raynaud phenomenon is known to occur in around 10% of the healthy female population and in around 5% of men. In the vast majority of cases, the blood vessels show no evidence of damage. In this case - so called Primary Raynaud phenomenon - the issue appears to be exaggerated spasm of healthy blood vessels.. Raynaud phenomenon is also the most common first symptom of scleroderma and is an important feature in other rheumatologic illnesses such as lupus. In this situation, the blood vessels are damaged and the opening for blood flow is much reduced. Raynaud episodes in scleroderma may reflect normal blood vessel constriction in response to cold superimposed on the narrow plumbing.. Blood flow to the fingers in normal health is around 40 times as much as is needed for oxygen supply and tissue nutrition. When the body is hot, blood flow increases to the hands so as to dissipate heat. This is much like a dog panting on a hot day. Conversely, when the body is cold, it is normal to reduce blood flow to ...
The symptoms of Raynauds phenomenon, arthralgia, and dysphagia point toward the diagnosis of scleroderma.

The Waardenburg syndromes (WS) are rare genetic disorders described classically as neural crest syndromes and characterized by deafness and pigmentation abnormalities. WS type IV (WS4) is attributed to mutations in the SOX10 gene, which regulates pigment cell development. Here, Kirsten Dutton and colleagues study otic vesicle development using a zebrafish model of WS4, the colourless/sox10 mutant. WS4 patients and mutant fish display a similar spectrum of abnormalities in the ear, pigment cells and enteric neurons. Additionally, the researchers found that only a few neural crest cells contribute to the developing zebrafish ear, and therefore are unlikely to be wholly responsible for the resulting auditory deficits. Their work helps explain the origin of inner ear deficits that lead to hearing loss and vestibular problems in WS4 patients.. Page 68. ...
