Targeted Delivery of Chloroquine to Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells Enhances Inhibition of the Type I Interferon Response

2021-06-09

Abstract excerpt

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) causes damaging inflammation in multiple organs via the accumulation of immune complexes. These complexes activate plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) via TLR7 and TLR9, contributing to disease pathogenesis by driving secretion of inflammatory type I IFNs. Antimalarial drugs, such as chloroquine (CQ), are TLR antagonists used to alleviate inflammation in SLE. However, they require ~3 months...
