To protect and modify double-stranded RNA - the critical roles of ADARs in development, immunity and oncogenesis

TL;DR: Adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADARs) are present in all animals and function to both bind double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and catalyze the deamination of adenosine (A) to inosine (I) as discussed by the authors.

Differential analysis of serum and urine S100 proteins in juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE).

TL;DR: Serum S 100A8/A9, and serum and urine S100A12 are increased in jSLE patients with active lupus nephritis as compared to patients with inactive/no LN, and this study demonstrates potential promise for S100 a9 and S100a12 as biomarkers for jSle and active LN.
Journal ArticleDOI

New insights into the role of renal resident cells in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis

TL;DR: Recent advances in the role of renal resident cells, including podocytes, mesangial cells, and epithelial cells, in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reprograming of peripheral Foxp3+ regulatory T cell towards Th17-like cell in patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that IL-17-producing Treg cells (Th17-like cells) increased in peripheral blood of patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), suggesting that instability of Treg plays a critical role in pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.

The 1982 revised criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus

TL;DR: The 1971 preliminary criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were revised and updated to incorporate new immunologic knowledge and improve disease classification and showed gains in sensitivity and specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Book

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

TL;DR: Contributions are gathered from physicians and researchers from North America, South America, Europe, and Asia that highlight several important and/or novel aspects of the molecular pathogenesis, clinical organ involvement, and experimental therapies in this prototypical systemic autoimmune disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferon-inducible gene expression signature in peripheral blood cells of patients with severe lupus

TL;DR: Global gene expression profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells is used to identify distinct patterns of gene expression that distinguish most SLE patients from healthy controls, and identify a subgroup of patients who may benefit from therapies targeting the IFN pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferon and Granulopoiesis Signatures in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Blood

TL;DR: Microarray analysis of blood cells reveals that immature granulocytes may be involved in SLE pathogenesis, and the IFN signature confirms the central role of this cytokine in Sle, using oligonucleotide microarrays.
