DNA-dependent Activator of Interferon-regulatory Factors (DAI) Promotes Lupus Nephritis by Activating the Calcium Pathway
4 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Macrophage M2b polarization conferred by self-DNA immunization initiates and propagates lupus nephritis. RESULTS: Knockdown of DNA-dependent activator of interferon-regulatory factors (DAI) ameliorates SLE syndrome via blunting macrophage M2b polarization. CONCLUSION: DAI functions as a DNA sensor in self-DNA-induced macrophage M2b polarization and lupus nephritis. SIGNIFICANCE: We disclose the...
