Research progress on epigenetics of interferon in systemic lupus erythematosus / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with various clinical manifestations and complex pathogenesis, characterized by loss of immune tolerance to autoantigens and production of large amounts of autoantibodies. Interferon (I F N) signaling pathway is one of the pathogenetic pathways widely recognized at present. In recent years, the correlation between IFN signaling and epigenetic modification in the occurrence and development of SLE has beena research hotspot. And in this paper, the relevant studies are reviewed in order to provide new research ideas for the pathogenesis of SLE.
