Overexpression of Cathepsin S Exacerbates Lupus Pathogenesis Through TLR7 and IFN-α in Transgenic Mice
2021-02-11
Abstract excerpt
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects multiple organs. Recent studies suggest relevance between cysteine protease cathepsin S (CTSS) expression and SLE. To investigate the mechanism of CTSS in SLE, CTSS-overexpressing transgenic (TG) mice were generated, and induced lupus-like symptoms. Eight months later, the TG mice spontaneously developed typical SLE symptoms regardless...
