Abstract

Transglutaminases have important roles in stabilizing extracellular protein assemblies in tissue repair processes but some reaction products can stimulate immune activation, leading to chronic inflammatory conditions or autoimmunity. Exacerbated disease in models of inflammatory arthritis has been ascribed to sustained extracellular enzyme activity alongside formation of select protein modifications. Here, we review the evidence, with a focus on the link between P2X7R signaling and TG2 export, a pathway that we have recently discovered which ties extracellular protein modifications into the danger signal-mediated innate immune response. These recent insights offer new opportunities for therapeutic intervention.
