Dicer Insufficiency and MicroRNA-155 Overexpression in Lupus Regulatory T Cells: An Apparent Paradox in the Setting of an Inflammatory Milieu
14 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by loss of tolerance to self-Ags and activation of autoreactive T cells. Regulatory T (Treg) cells play a critical role in controlling the activation of autoreactive T cells. In this study, we investigated mechanisms of potential Treg cell defects in systemic lupus erythematosus using MRL-Fas(lpr/lpr) (MRL/lpr) and MRL-Fas(+/+) mouse...
