Pathogenetic aspects of systemic lupus erythematosus with an emphasis on regulatory T cells

Journal of Autoimmunity
C ScheineckerJ S Smolen

Abstract

The development of autoimmune diseases is characterized by the breakdown of mechanism(s) that are responsible for maintaining immunological tolerance against self-structures in the periphery. Several aberrations of immune cells have been described so far. Most recently quantitative and/or qualitative defects of T cells with the capacity to suppress or regulate the proliferation of effector T cells in vitro - subsequently termed regulatory T cells (Treg) - have been suggested to substantially contribute to the imbalance of peripheral tolerance and trigger the outbreak of autoimmune reactions. The aim of this article is to summarize current knowledge about pathomechanisms that are involved in the development of autoimmunity with a special emphasis on the role of Treg in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Cancer Biology: Molecular Imaging

Molecular imaging enables noninvasive imaging of key molecules that are crucial to tumor biology. Discover the latest research in molecular imaging in cancer biology in this feed.

Autoimmune Hepatitis

Autoimmune hepatitis formerly called lupoid hepatitis, is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the liver that occurs when the body's immune system attacks liver cells causing the liver to be inflamed. Discover the latest research on autoimmune hepatitis here.

Autoimmune Diabetes & Tolerance

Patients with type I diabetes lack insulin-producing beta cells due to the loss of immunological tolerance and autoimmune disease. Discover the latest research on targeting tolerance to prevent diabetes.

B cell Tolerance

B cell tolerance is maintained through mechanisms that can reversibly or irreversibly silence autoreactive B lymphocytes. Here is the latest research.
