Autoantibody Induction by DNA-Containing Immune Complexes Requires HMGB1 with the TLR2/MicroRNA-155 Pathway
25 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Anti-dsDNA Ab is reported to be the central pathogenic autoantibody involved in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis. However, the mechanisms involved in anti-dsDNA Ab production remain unclear. Recent evidence indicated that DNA-containing immune complexes (ICs) in circulation (termed "circulating DNA-containing ICs"), which are one of the hallmarks of SLE, might be involved in autoantibody...
