The role of IRF5 as an immune regulator

Abstract Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is a transcription factor at the nexus of immune regulation, inflammation, and autoimmune disease. Studies have shown that dysregulation of IRF5 is strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthr...

Myeloid IRF5 is required for TLR7-driven inflammatory hemophagocyte differentiation and Macrophage Activation Syndrome

In TLR7-driven macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), inflammatory hemophagocytes (iHPCs) differentiate from Ly6CHI monocytes, phagocytose red blood cells and promote disease, including anemia and thrombocytopenia. We demonstrate here that IRF5 is required for iHPC differentiation and MAS in TLR7-overexpressing (TLR7.1)...
