Genetic dissection of systemic lupus erythematosusE K Wakeland
Center for Immunology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas 75235 9093, USA
Curr Opin Immunol 11:701-7. 1999..Linkage studies in humans suggest that at least some susceptibility genes mediating disease in lupus-prone mice may also contribute to susceptibility in humans...
Delineating the genetic basis of systemic lupus erythematosusE K Wakeland
Center for Immunology, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75235, USA
Immunity 15:397-408. 2001..Genes in multiple pathways appear to participate in specific elements of the disease, and epistatic interactions among these genes play an important role in both aggravating and suppressing disease development...
Interferon signature gene expression is correlated with autoantibody profiles in patients with incomplete lupus syndromesQ Z Li
Department of Immunology and Division of Rheumatic Diseases, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390 8884, USA
Clin Exp Immunol 159:281-91. 2010..Furthermore, high levels of alpha IFN may promote autoantibody class-switch from IgM to the more pathogenic IgG class...
Genetic dissection of lupus pathogenesis: a recipe for nephrophilic autoantibodiesC Mohan
Simmon s Arthritis Research Center, Center for Immunology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, Dallas 75235 8884, USA
J Clin Invest 103:1685-95. 1999..Whereas loci such as Sle1 may serve to breach tolerance to chromatin, full-blown pathogenic maturation of the autoantibody response appears to require additional input from other loci (such as Sle3) and gender-based factors...
Genetic dissection of Sle pathogenesis: Sle3 on murine chromosome 7 impacts T cell activation, differentiation, and cell deathC Mohan
Simmons Arthritis Research Center, Center for Immunology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas 75235, USA
J Immunol 162:6492-502. 1999..Epistatic interactions with other loci may be required to transform this relatively benign phenotype into overt autoimmunity, as seen in the NZM2410 strain...
Sle3 and Sle5 can independently couple with Sle1 to mediate severe lupus nephritisK Liu
Department of Immunology, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390 9093, USA
Genes Immun 8:634-45. 2007..Our results indicate that Sle3 and Sle5 can independently complement with Sle1, through shared and unique mechanisms, to mediate the development of severe autoimmunity...
The lupus-susceptibility gene kallikrein downmodulates antibody-mediated glomerulonephritisQ Z Li
Department of Immunology, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390, USA
Genes Immun 10:503-8. 2009..Sle3 congenics. Taken together with earlier studies, these findings indicate that kallikreins play an important protective role in autoantibody-initiated GN and could constitute potential candidate genes for anti-GBM-induced GN and SLN...
Prevalence and evolutionary origins of autoimmune susceptibility alleles in natural mouse populationsN Limaye
Department of Immunology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390, USA
Genes Immun 9:61-8. 2008..These findings support the interpretation that selection favoring the generation and retention of functional polymorphisms has played a role in the evolutionary origin of genetic polymorphisms that are predisposing to autoimmunity...
The genetics of lupusY S Yim
Center for Immunology, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, USA
Curr Opin Nephrol Hypertens 10:437-43. 2001..These findings suggest that mouse models of lupus may provide valuable insights into the genetic basis of human systemic lupus erythematosus...
Protein array autoantibody profiles for insights into systemic lupus erythematosus and incomplete lupus syndromesQ Z Li
Center for Immunology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dalls, TX, USA
Clin Exp Immunol 147:60-70. 2007..Determining whether the IgM aurotreactivity that predominates in ILE represents an early stage prior to IgG switching or is persistent and relatively protective will require further longitudinal studies...
