Sex Hormones in Acquired Immunity and Autoimmune Disease.

TL;DR: The role of sex hormones particularly estrogen, in the adaptive immune response, in health, and autoimmune disease with an emphasis on systemic lupus erythematosus is focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autoimmunity and organ damage in systemic lupus erythematosus

TL;DR: Tsokos reviews how the genetic, epigenetic and microbial environments influence innate and adaptive immune cells to drive immunopathology and organ damage in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Th17 Cells and the IL-23/IL-17 Axis in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis and Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases

TL;DR: A review of the current knowledge about the differentiation of Th17 cells and the role of the IL-17/IL-23 axis in the pathogenesis of IMIDs aims to review the association of these IMIDs with periodontitis and briefly discusses the therapeutic potential of agents that modulate the IL

Regulatory T cells in the treatment of disease

TL;DR: The current progress in modulating Treg cells in autoimmune disorders, transplantation and cancer is described to promote antitumour immunity and regression.

Aberrant T Cell Signaling and Subsets in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

TL;DR: A better understanding of the molecular defects including signaling events and gene regulation underlying the dysfunctional T cells in SLE is necessary to pave the path for better management, therapy, and perhaps prevention of this complex disease.

New insights into the immunopathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus

TL;DR: Improved understanding of the pathogenesis of SLE is driving a renewed interest in targeted therapy, and researchers are now on the verge of developing targeted immunotherapy directed at treating either specific organ system involvement or specific subsets of patients with SLE.

Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells (Natural Interferon- α/β-Producing Cells) Accumulate in Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Lesions

TL;DR: The findings suggested that P-DCs are an important source of IFN-alpha/beta in cutaneous LE lesions and may therefore be of pathogenic importance.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA-146A contributes to abnormal activation of the type I interferon pathway in human lupus by targeting the key signaling proteins.

TL;DR: Investigation of the contribution of microRNA-146a, identified in the pilot expression profiling step, to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus revealed a negative regulator of innate immunity, which provides potential novel strategies for therapeutic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defective B cell tolerance checkpoints in systemic lupus erythematosus

TL;DR: SLE is associated with abnormal early B cell tolerance, and 25–50% of the mature naive B cells in SLE patients produce self-reactive antibodies even before they participate in immune responses as compared with 5–20% in controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin 17-producing T helper cells and interleukin 17 orchestrate autoreactive germinal center development in autoimmune BXD2 mice.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that autoimmune BXD2 mice express more IL-17 and show spontaneous development of germinal centers (GCs) before they increase production of pathogenic autoantibodies, suggesting a mechanism by which IL- 17 drives autoimmune responses by promoting the formation of spontaneous GCs.
