IL-6 Modulates CD5 Expression in B Cells from Patients with Lupus by Regulating DNA Methylation
21 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
B lymphocytes from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are characterized by reduced expression levels of membrane CD5. Recent studies from our laboratory have revealed that the level of membrane CD5 is determined by the relative level of two alternative CD5 isoforms; CD5-E1A, which is expressed on the membrane, and CD5-E1B, which is retained in the cytoplasm. Using bisulfite sequencing and...
