Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 06/30/09
Katsiari CG et al. - While defective phagocytosis represents a distinctive feature of monocyte function in some patients with SLE, aberrant activation of the Mo/Mphi system may be a more appropriate concept to encompass the broad spectrum of Mo/Mphi disorders in SLE. Aberrant function of lupus Mo/Mphi appears to play a dynamic role in the initiation and perpetuation of the systemic autoimmune response and organ damage. Delineation of the altered biology of lupus Mo/Mphi could provide possible future therapeutic targets for patients with SLE.
