Cutting edge projects focus on innate immune events leading to cytopathic adaptive immune responses. Projects include novel pathways that regulate macrophages and T cells macrophage biology linked to lupus triggers of autoimmune kidney and skin disease and the unique and shared role of the principle macrophage developmental molecules in lupus. Projects emphasize the impact of resident cells in tissues targeted for destruction that regulate the immune response. Unique transgenic strains and knockout mice with reporter genes have been constructed on lupus susceptible strains for these projects. These projects dissect the basic mechanisms of autoimmune (skin heart kidney). Projects include human translational studies in patients with lupus. The ultimate goal is to identify potential therapeutic targets/ biomarkers for lupus and by extension other immune mediated diseases.
