The Main Challenges in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Where Do We Stand?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide insights and a research agenda for the main challenges in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and provide a review of the main unmet needs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leveraging Heterogeneity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus for New Therapies.

TL;DR: Insights into the molecular and clinical heterogeneity of SLE from transcriptomics studies are reviewed and opportunities for integrating these findings and drug development with new multidisciplinary advances to enhance future SLE treatment are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gender Bias in Human Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Problem of Steroid Receptor Action?

TL;DR: A previously undetected interaction between GR and ERα signaling pathways suggests posttranslational modification of steroid receptors in SLE T cells may alter ERα/GR actions and contribute to the strong gender bias of this autoimmune disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of iron homeostasis with hepcidin ameliorates spontaneous murine lupus nephritis.

TL;DR: These findings provide a proof-of-concept that targeting cellular iron metabolism with hepcidin represents a promising therapeutic strategy in lupus nephritis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The immunomodulatory effects of mesenchymal stromal cell-based therapy in human and animal models of systemic lupus erythematosus

TL;DR: The beneficial and therapeutic properties of Mesenchymal stromal cells are reviewed and the results of animal model studies, preclinical studies, and clinical trials of MSC therapy in SLE from the immunoregulatory aspect are focused on.

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.
