The results from previous studies on association of TLR9 polymorphisms with the risk of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remained contradictory. Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed to assess the association between TLR9 polymorphisms and SLE susceptibility. A literature-based search was conducted to identify all relevant studies. Pooled data were estimated by fixed- and random-effects models...
Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease attributing to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Abnormal expression/function of type I interferons has been demonstrated with the pathogenesis of SLE, especially IFN-α, which can be regulated by IFN regulatory factor 7 (IRF7). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near/in IRF7 have been substantiated related to onset of SLE,...
During normal pregnancy a dampening in T cell-mediated immunity is compensated by an increased pro-inflammatory activity. Likewise, the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with inflammatory activity and pregnancy complications occur frequently in women with SLE. The aim of this study was to elucidate how SLE influences the chemokine and cytokine balance during and after...
