Research Article: Interleukin-32 positive immune and resident cells in kidney samples from lupus patients: a pilot study

Date Published: 2025-01-06

Abstract:
Introduction: Lupus nephritis (LN), caused by immune complexes produced in situ or deposited from the bloodstream, is one of the most severe features of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) leading to an increased morbidity and mortality. Toll like receptors (TLRs), such as TLR3, TLR7 and TLR9, may play a key role in its pathogenesis. Interleukin-32 (IL-32), a cytokine involved in both innate and adaptive immune responses, has been widely considered in autoimmune-inflammatory rheumatic diseases. This study aims to evaluate the IL-32 role in LN, also investigating the effect of LN patients IgG (LN-IgG) on IL-32 production via TLR3.
