Anti-DNA antibody production by CD5+ and CD5- B cells of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Although the presence of anti-DNA antibody is a hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), neither the subsets of B cells that secrete anti-DNA antibody nor the stimuli responsible for the induction of anti-DNA secretion is known. In particular, the role of CD5+ B cells in human SLE, a distinct subpopulation of antibody-secreting cells shown previously to be a source of anti-DNA antibody i...
متن کاملIL-6 modulates CD5 expression in B cells from patients with lupus by regulating DNA methylation.
B lymphocytes from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are characterized by reduced expression levels of membrane CD5. Recent studies from our laboratory have revealed that the level of membrane CD5 is determined by the relative level of two alternative CD5 isoforms; CD5-E1A, which is expressed on the membrane, and CD5-E1B, which is retained in the cytoplasm. Using bisulfite sequen...
متن کاملAnalysis of Ancestral and Functionally Relevant CD5 Variants in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients
OBJECTIVE CD5 plays a crucial role in autoimmunity and is a well-established genetic risk factor of developing RA. Recently, evidence of positive selection has been provided for the CD5 Pro224-Val471 haplotype in East Asian populations. The aim of the present work was to further analyze the functional relevance of non-synonymous CD5 polymorphisms conforming the ancestral and the newly derived h...
متن کاملSurvival rate of patients with systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background: Due to infections, cardio-vascular involvement and renal insufficiency, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus live shorter than usual. Objective: To determine the mean survival rate of SLE patients. Patients and Methods: 62 SLE patients admitted in the hospitals of Kerman University of Medical Sciences from 1369 to 1380 were included in this study. The demographic variabl...
متن کاملPeripheral CD5+ B cells in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.
OBJECTIVE CD5+ B cells have been conceptualized as a possible surrogate for Breg cells. The aim of the present study was to determine the utility of CD5+ B cells as biomarkers in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV). METHODS The absolute and relative numbers (percentages) of CD5+ B cells (explanatory variables) were measured longitudinally during 18 months in 197 pa...
