Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells and C1q Differentially Regulate Inflammatory Gene Induction by Lupus Immune Complexes
6 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
Immune complexes (ICs) play a pivotal role in causing inflammation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Yet, it remains unclear what the dominant blood cell type(s) and inflammation-related gene programs stimulated by lupus ICs are. To address these questions, we exposed normal human PBMCs or CD14(+) isolated monocytes to SLE ICs in the presence or absence of C1q and performed microarray analysis and other...
