IL-15 enhances functional properties and responses of cytotoxic CD4+CD28− T cells expanded in Systemic lupus erythematosus

TL;DR: In this article , the authors showed that CD4+CD28− T cells with cytotoxic potential are present in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.
Dissertation

Low Density Granulocytes (LDG) in the pathogenesis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): Targets for therapy?

TL;DR: Deletion of LDGs may reduce SLE activity to a greater extent since these cells have an increased pro-inflammatory phenotype compared to normal neutrophils, and current literature still remains controversial on the effect of inhibition ofLDGs activity.

Speckle tracking echocardiography for the evaluation of left ventricular function in children with systemic lupus erythematosus

TL;DR: STE could be a promising technique in the early detection of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in children with SLE, and there was no correlation between STE parameters and disease activity.
Book ChapterDOI

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

TL;DR: SLE remains a disease with significant unmet need, but there is hope that the study of larger, well-characterized cohorts along with further genetic and experimental medicine studies, will lead to new treatments and improved patient outcomes.

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.

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.
