Coordination of retrotransposons and type I interferon with distinct interferon pathways in dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus and autoimmune blistering disease

Abstract excerpt

Type I interferon (IFN) plays a crucial role in innate and adaptive immunity, and aberrant IFN responses are involved in systemic autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and dermatomyositis (DM). Type I IFNs can be induced by transcribed retrotransposons. The regulation of retrotransposons and type I IFN and the downstream IFN pathways in SLE, DM, and autoimmune blistering disease (AIBD)...
