T helper cells aid B cells with the production of antibodies and thus play a central role in disease development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Numerous T helper cell abnormalities have been described in SLE patients that contribute to disease pathophysiology and provide suitable targets for therapeutic intervention. In addition, T effector cell also play a less well-defined role in SLE. This review focusses on underlying molecular mechanisms of different T cell alterations in SLE.
辅助性 T 细胞(T helper cells)有助于 B 细胞产生抗体,因此在系统性红斑狼疮(systemic lupus erythematosus,SLE)的发病机制中发挥核心作用。在 SLE 患者中已经描述了许多辅助性 T 细胞异常,这些异常有助于疾病的病理生理学,并为治疗干预提供了合适的靶点。此外,T 效应细胞在 SLE 中的作用也不那么明确。这篇综述重点介绍了 SLE 中不同 T 细胞改变的潜在分子机制。
