In this paper, posttranslational modifications (PTMs) such as citrullination, carbamylation, and acetylation are correlated with the pathogenesis of RA.
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is caused by prolonged periodic interactions between genetic, environmental, and immunologic factors. Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) such as citrullination, carbamylation, and acetylation are correlated with the pathogenesis of RA. PTM and cell death mechanisms such as apoptosis, autophagy, NETosis, leukotoxic hypercitrullination (LTH), and necrosis are related to each other and induce autoantigenicity. Certain microbial infections, such as those caused by Porphyromonasgingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, and Prevotella copri, can induce autoantigens in RA. Anti-modified protein antibodies (AMPA) containing anti-citrullinated protein/peptide antibodies (ACPAs), anti-carbamylated protein (anti-CarP) antibodies, and anti-acetylated protein antibodies (AAPAs) play a role in pathogenesis as well as in prediction, diagnosis, and prognosis. Interestingly, smoking is correlated with both PTMs and AMPAs in the development of RA. However, there is lack of evidence that smoking induces the generation of AMPAs.

MHC Class II Presentation in Autoimmunity

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the role of MHC-II in the development of auto-antigens in the thymus and found that the appearance of an autoreactive T cell might be the result of the unusual interaction between T cell receptors (TCRs) and self-antigen presented on MHC II, the posttranslational modifications (PTMs), direct loading of the selfantigen to classical MHCII without additional nonclassical MHC assistance, and the proinflammatory environment effect on antigen presentation.

Neutrophil extracellular traps kill bacteria

TL;DR: It is described that, upon activation, neutrophils release granule proteins and chromatin that together form extracellular fibers that bind Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, which degrade virulence factors and kill bacteria.

Apoptosis: controlled demolition at the cellular level

TL;DR: This work has shown that during the demolition phase of apoptosis, members of the caspase family of cysteine proteases target several hundred proteins for restricted proteolysis in a controlled manner that minimizes damage and disruption to neighbouring cells and avoids the release of immunostimulatory molecules.

Molecular definitions of cell death subroutines: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2012

TL;DR: A functional classification of cell death subroutines is proposed that applies to both in vitro and in vivo settings and includes extrinsic apoptosis, caspase-dependent or -independent intrinsic programmed cell death, regulated necrosis, autophagic cell death and mitotic catastrophe.

Citrulline is an essential constituent of antigenic determinants recognized by rheumatoid arthritis-specific autoantibodies.

TL;DR: It is shown that autoantibodies reactive with synthetic peptides containing the unusual amino acid citrulline, a posttranslationally modified arginine residue, are specifically present in the sera of RA patients, and the presence of these antibodies early in disease, even before other disease manifestations occur, are indicative for a possible role of citrulling epitopes in the pathogenesis of RA.
