Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Mitochondrial DNA and Its Autoantibody in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and a Proof‐of‐Concept Trial of Metformin
5 Aug 2015
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been shown to play an important role in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis by activating plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) and the type I interferon (IFN) pathway. NETs composed of self-DNA are considered to be of nuclear origin and are a major source of anti-DNA autoantibody generation. This study was undertaken to evaluate whether...
