Treatment of Murine Lupus with TIGIT-Ig

TL;DR: It is suggested that among mice with lupus that were treated with the TIGIT-Ig fusion protein, the onset of proteinuria was delayed, serum concentrations of autoantibodies were reduced without a decrease in the total IgG concentrations, and the survival rate was significantly increased compared to those of the controls.

Polysaccharide mycophenolate-based nanoparticles for enhanced immunosuppression and treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.

TL;DR: In this article, polysaccharide mycophenolate was synthesized by conjugating MPA molecules to dextran and encapsulated extra free MPA molecule to fabricate MPA@Dex-MPA nanoparticles (NPs) for mediating immunosuppression and treatment of IMIDs.
Journal ArticleDOI

SLE stratification based on BAFF and IFN-I bioactivity for biologics and implications of BAFF produced by glomeruli in lupus nephritis

TL;DR: In this article , the authors identified BAFF-expressing kidney cells using publicly available scRNA-seq data and immunohistological analysis and found that BAFF is expressed in glomerular macrophages and mesangial cells.

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.

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.
