Identification of microRNA‐31 as a novel regulator contributing to impaired interleukin‐2 production in T cells from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
26 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) function to fine-tune the control of immune cell signaling. It is well established that there are abnormalities in the interleukin-2 (IL-2)-related signaling pathways in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The miR-31 microRNA has been found to be markedly underexpressed in patients with SLE, and thus the present study was undertaken to investigate the role of miR-31 in IL-2 defects...
