Epigenetic Reprogramming in Naive CD4+ T Cells Favoring T Cell Activation and Non‐Th1 Effector T Cell Immune Response as an Early Event in Lupus Flares
25 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a relapsing autoimmune disease that affects multiple organ systems. T cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of lupus; however, early T cell events triggering disease flares are incompletely understood. This study was undertaken to examine DNA methylation in naive CD4+ T cells from lupus patients to determine if epigenetic remodeling in CD4+ T cells is an...
