In conclusion, JP may inhibit the activation of peritoneal macrophages in MRL/lpr mice by downregulating the IRAK1-NF-<i>κ</i>B signaling pathway, and IRAK1 may be a potential target for JP treatment of SLE.
Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) is associated with the susceptibility of SLE in humans and paeoniflorin has recently been reported to exhibit immunosuppressive properties.
In vitro experiments showed that lupus CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells had more pronounced IRAK1 phosphorylation at threonine-209 upon IL-1β stimulation than did control cells.
Lupus development in BXSB mice expressing the Y chromosome autoimmunity accelerator (Yaa) increased basal and Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4/7-induced phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases, p65 nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), enhanced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and C-C motif chemokine ligand (CCL) 5 gene expression in splenic macrophages, but decreased levels of Toll-interacting protein and IRAK-M, without affecting IRAK4 or IRAK1 expression.
Genome-Wide Association Study in an Amerindian Ancestry Population Reveals Novel Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Risk Loci and the Role of European Admixture.
Our data suggest that the lupus-associated variant in the MECP2/IRAK1 locus has the potential to affect all 3 epigenetic mechanisms: DNA methylation, microRNA expression, and histone modification.
As IRAK1 has been regarded a crucial gene in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus, TRAF6 can be a Sjögren's syndrome specific biomarker, confirming and partly explaining the existance of different pathogenic pathways in the two diseases.
Family-based TDT showed a significant association of SLE with a N673S polymorphism in the P-selectin gene (SELP) (P = 5.74 x 10(-6)) and a C203S polymorphism in the interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 gene (IRAK1) (P = 9.58 x 10(-6)).
