T Cells Produce IFN-α in the TREX1 D18N Model of Lupus-like Autoimmunity
11 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
Autoimmunity can result when cells fail to properly dispose of DNA. Mutations in the three-prime repair exonuclease 1 (TREX1) cause a spectrum of human autoimmune diseases resembling systemic lupus erythematosus. The cytosolic dsDNA sensor, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), and the stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are required for pathogenesis, but specific cells in which DNA sensing and subsequent type I IFN...
