Cell-Free Mitochondrial DNA As a Novel Biomarker in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: We recently described a fundamental role for mitochondrial (mt)-mediated inflammation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Briefly, mtROS promoted formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs),…Abstract Number: 1666 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Mitochondrial Autoantibodies in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Their Association with Disease Manifestations
- Background/Purpose: Eukaryotic cells contain organelles called mitochondria that govern energy supply and control of cell death. Whereas damaged organs or activated cells can extrude…Abstract Number: 2072 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Modulate Autoimmunity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Dysregulation in the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) may contribute to modification and externalization of autoantigens and to organ damage in diverse autoimmune…Abstract Number: 2498 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Biomarkers of Mitochondrial Dysfunction Correlate with Disease Activity in SLE
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients’ T cells exhibit mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by the persistent elevation of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (Δψm) or mitochondrial hyperpolarization…Abstract Number: 2345 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
HRES-1/RAB4-Mediated Loss of DRP1 Inhibits Mitophagy, Promotes Accumulation of Mitochondria and Serves As Target for Treatment in SLE
Background/Purpose: T cells from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) exhibit accumulation of mitochondria and activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Although mTOR…Abstract Number: 1455 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Mitochondrial Dysfunction in the Liver of Lupus-Prone MRL/Lpr Mice Prior to Disease Onset
Background/Purpose: Liver dysfunction, characterized by serum elevation of liver enzymes, is detectable in 20% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE.) Males had a higher…
