Translational Nephrology RAS meets SLE ∗
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of glomerular diseases. To delineate more precisely the role of RAS in creating renal injury, knockout mouse strains lacking the angiotensin type 1 or type 2 receptors (AT1 and AT2) have proven very informative. Hence, in their elegant study that was published in the April 2009 issue of the Journal of Clinical Invest...
متن کاملEtiologic Factors in SLE
We are currently witnessing an explosion of information about the genetic contribution to complex human diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). These genetic discoveries have profound implications for efforts to more fully characterize etiologic pathways and mechanisms. Further, these etiologic insights should lead to improved diagnostic and prognostic tools and inform the developm...
متن کاملADE and SLE
We point out that the probability law of a single domain wall separating clusters in ADE lattice models in a simply connected domain is identical to that of corresponding chordal curves in the lattice O(n) and Q-state Potts models, for suitable n or Q. They are conjectured to be described in the scaling limit by chordal SLEκ with κ rational and >2. However in a multiply-connected domain the law...
متن کاملSLE - Rituximab in lupus
B cells are essential to the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The chimeric monoclonal antibody rituximab depletes B cells by targeting the pan-B-cell surface marker CD20. Preliminary experience with this agent in SLE and other autoimmune diseases has been encouraging. Controlled trials in SLE will be necessary to determine whether rituximab is useful therapy in this disease, a...
متن کاملEpigenetics in SLE
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Systemic lupus erythematosus is a severe autoimmune/inflammatory condition of unknown pathophysiology. Though genetic predisposition is essential for disease expression, risk alleles in single genes are usually insufficient to confer disease. Epigenetic dysregulation has been suggested as the missing link between genetic risk and the development of clinically evident disease. ...
