Impaired Apoptotic Clearance and Clonal Deletion: Onset or Manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus?
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a prevalent widespread autoimmune disease where patients present numerous systemic manifestations like rashes, ulcers, hemolytic anemia, fever, thrombocytopenia, lymphadenopathy, and seizures. Although the disease is multifactorial in nature, this article aims to review the involvement of apoptotic pathways with SLE and to figure out if the pathways are instrumental to the onset or to the manifestation of the disease. It was found that impaired apoptotic pathways contributing to SLE included delayed apoptotic clearance and production of hyperactive B cells due to evasion of clonal deletion in the B cell development pathways. After thorough and detailed analysis, it was concluded that the contribution of the apoptotic pathways towards onset may be in the context of autoreactive B cell formation while incomplete apoptotic clearance being associated with the clinical manifestation of the

Hematologic manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease. The most common hematologic finding is anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome with recurrent abortion and thrombosis. The autoimmune fibrosis of bone marrow is another manifestation of autoimmune disease especially SLE, that must be correctly differentiated from primary myelofibrosis.

Influence of vitamin D on cell cycle, apoptosis, and some apoptosis related molecules in systemic lupus erythematosus
Objective(s):Genetic and environmental factors are involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Autoreactive lymphocytes are cleared through apoptosis and any disturbance in the apoptosis or clearance of apoptotic cells may disturb tolerance and lead to autoimmunity. Vitamin D has anti-proliferative effects and controls cell cycle progression. In this study we investigate...
متن کاملAssociation of HLA-DRB1 Alleles in Juvenile-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in Iranian Children
Introduction Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Many studies show HLA alleles can be associated with SLE. The aim of this study was to determine the association of HLA-DRB1 alleles with juvenile- onset in Iranian children. Materials and Methods At a case – control study, 31 children with systemic lupus erythematosus (case group) who referred to ...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of 23-Valent Pneumococcal Vaccine in Children with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease which is characterized by B-cell abnormality and auto-antibody generation. Since bacterial infections are the most important causes of mortality in these patients, pneumococcal vaccination is recommended for children with SLE. Objective: To investigate humoral immunity and specific-antibody formation in response to a...
