Dysregulated Transferrin Receptor Disrupts T Cell Iron Homeostasis to Drive Inflammation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
2021-11-25
Abstract excerpt
T cells in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) exhibit mitochondrial abnormalities including elevated oxidative stress. Because excess iron can promote these phenotypes, we tested iron regulation of SLE T cells. A CRISPR screen identified Transferrin Receptor (CD71) as important for Th1 cells but detrimental for induced regulatory T cells (iTreg). Activated T cells induce CD71 to increase iron uptake, but this was...
