The Survival Of Gr1+CD11b+ cells Is Differentially Regulated In Male and Female Lupus-Prone Mice
Background/Purpose: Systemic Lupus Erythematosis (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease that develops far more frequently in females than in males (9:1 ratio). The (NZBxNZW)F1 lupus-prone…Abstract Number: 2502 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Neutrophil Extracellular Trap-Associated Protein Activation of the Inflammasome Is Enhanced in Lupus M1 Macrophages
Background/Purpose: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) contain numerous bactericidal proteins and are an important defense mechanism against microorganisms. Clearance of NETs is impaired in a subset…Abstract Number: 1440 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Lupus-Prone Mice Demonstrate Enhanced Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation: Implications for Autoantibody Formation and Organ Damage
Background/Purpose: Recent evidence suggests that enhanced neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation—the programmed release of chromatin fibers decorated with granular antimicrobial peptides—is as an important activator…Abstract Number: 1073 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Increased Oxidative Burst in Neutrophils but Not Monocytes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: The role of innate immunity in the pathogenesis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) has acquired increasing importance lately. Chronic Granulomatosus Disease (CGD), a hereditary…Abstract Number: 660 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Abnormal Neutrophil Development in Human Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Recent research has increased the appreciation of the contributions of neutrophils to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). An abnormal circulating pool of granulocytes has been…
