Effect of mycophenolate mofetil on the white blood cell count and the frequency of infection in systemic lupus erythematosus. [PDF]
Leukopenia is a common manifestation of SLE. Addition of immunosuppressive therapy in a SLE patient who is already leukopenic is a clinical concern. It could worsen leukopenia, increase the risk of infection, or both. The aim of this study was to analyze

Macrophage metabolic reprogramming presents a therapeutic target in lupus nephritis
Significance IgG antibodies are a key component of adaptive humoral immunity but can cause organ damage if they bind self-antigen, as occurs in the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Prophylactic inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase delays onset of nephritis and ameliorates kidney damage in NZB/W F1 mice [PDF]
Epoxy-fatty-acids (EpFAs), cytochrome P450 dependent arachidonic acid derivatives, have been suggested to have anti-inflammatory properties, though their effects on autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have yet to be investigated ...
