T cell subsets in experimental lupus nephritis: modulation by bacterial superantigen.
Chronic graft-vs-host disease (GvH), induced by injection of DBA/2 lymphocytes into (C57BL/6 x DBA/2)F1 hybrids, is a murine model for lupus nephritis, associated with a Th2-dependent polyclonal B cell activation. The development of glomerulosclerosis in this model is preceded by a glomerular influx of LFA-1+ T cells. We investigated whether exposure to bacterial superantigen would modulate the...
متن کاملModulation of CD4+ T Cell Subsets by Euphorbia microciadia and Euphorbia osyridea Plant Extracts
Background: Euphorbia plants are traditionally used in folk medicine for infections, inflammation, and cancer. Objectives: To investigate the effects of the butanolic extracts of Euphorbia micorociadia and Euphorbia osyridea on specific transcription factors and cytokines expression of T cell subsets. Methods: Activated mouse splenocytes were cultured in the presence of non-cytotoxic concentrat...
متن کاملReduction of lupus nephritis in MRL/lpr mice by a bacterial superantigen treatment
The effects of biweekly intravenous injections of Staphylococcus Enterotoxin B (SEB) into autoimmune MRL-lpr/lpr (MRL/lpr) mice were investigated. Rather than causing the expansion of V beta 8+ T cells, SEB administration resulted in the reduction V beta 8+, CD4-CD8- "double-negative" (DN) T cells. This was shown by FACS analysis as this putative pathogenic population was diminished in both spl...
متن کاملChanges of memory B- and T-cell subsets in lupus nephritis patients.
INTRODUCTION Renal involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with production of antibodies to double stranded DNA, deposition of immune complexes and organ damage. These processes have been linked with abnormalities in B- and T-cell memory compartments. The aim of the study was to analyze subsets of peripheral memory B-cells and T-cells in lupus nephritis (LN) patients. ...

Introduction: Lupus nephritis is a systemic disease which affects different organs. The present study was designed to review lupus nephritis, in children its outcome and the related factors. Methods: We reviewed 48 children with lupus nephritis. Clinical and epidemiological features were studied. The patients’ outcomes and related factors were analyzed. Patient and renal survival rate were ca...
