Sex differences in the expression of lupus-associated miRNAs in splenocytes from lupus-prone NZB/WF1 mice
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A majority of autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), occur predominantly in females. Recent studies have identified specific dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) in both human and murine lupus, implying an important contribution of these miRNAs to lupus pathogenesis. However, to date, there is no study that examined sex differences in miRNA expression in immune cells as a...
