Circulating CD138 (syndecan-1) enhances APRIL-mediated autoreactive B cell survival and differentiation in MRL/Lpr mice
2021-05-11
Abstract excerpt
High levels of serum CD138, a heparan sulfate-bearing proteoglycan, correlates with increased disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Mechanisms responsible for serum CD138 production and its biological function in SLE disease remain poorly understood. In this study, corroborating patient data, we detected an increase in serum CD138 in MRL/Lpr mice parallel to disease activity. Although TC...
