Identification of novel microRNA signatures linked to human lupus disease activity and pathogenesis: miR-21 regulates aberrant T cell responses through regulation of PDCD4 expression
Objective MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate the expression of genes involved in immune activation. A study was undertaken to characterise the miRNA signature and identify novel genes involved in the… Expand

Crucial Role of Granulocytic Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in the Regulation of Central Nervous System Autoimmune Disease
There is a need in autoimmune diseases to uncover the mechanisms involved in the natural resolution of inflammation. In this article, we demonstrate that granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells… Expand

Tolerogenic Semimature Dendritic Cells Suppress Experimental Autoimmune Thyroiditis by Activation of Thyroglobulin-Specific CD4+CD25+ T Cells1
Ex vivo treatment of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) with TNF-α has been previously shown to induce partial maturation of DCs that are able to suppress autoimmunity. In this study, we… Expand

The negative costimulatory molecule PD‐1 modulates the balance between immunity and tolerance via miR‐21
Disruption of the programmed death‐1 (PD‐1) pathway leads to breakdown of peripheral tolerance and initiation of autoimmunity. The molecular pathways that mediate this effect remain largely unknown.… Expand

Neutrophil extracellular traps exacerbate Th1‐mediated autoimmune responses in rheumatoid arthritis by promoting DC maturation
Aberrant formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is a key feature in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and plays a pivotal role in disease pathogenesis. However, the mechanism through which NETs… Expand

IFNα Impairs Autophagic Degradation of mtDNA Promoting Autoreactivity of SLE Monocytes in a STING-Dependent Fashion
Summary Interferon α (IFNα) is a prompt and efficient orchestrator of host defense against nucleic acids but upon chronicity becomes a potent mediator of autoimmunity. Sustained IFNα signaling is… Expand

AB0175 Elimination of Granulocytic Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Lupus-Prone Mice Due to Ros-Dependent Extracellular Trap Formation
Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by a breakdown of self-tolerance against nuclear Ags leading to inflammation and multi-organ damage1-2. The mechanisms that participate… Expand

Tregs restrain dendritic cell autophagy to ameliorate autoimmunity
Design of efficacious Treg-based therapies and establishment of clinical tolerance in autoimmune diseases have proven to be challenging. The clinical implementation of Treg immunotherapy has been… Expand

REDD1/autophagy pathway promotes thromboinflammation and fibrosis in human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) through NETs decorated with tissue factor (TF) and interleukin-17A (IL-17A)
Objectives The release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) represents a novel neutrophil effector function in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis. However, the molecular mechanism… Expand

Delineation of Five Thyroglobulin T Cell Epitopes with Pathogenic Potential in Experimental Autoimmune Thyroiditis1
Experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) is a T cell-mediated disease that can be induced in mice after challenge with thyroglobulin (Tg) or Tg peptides. To date, five pathogenic Tg peptides have… Expand
