Abstract EN
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem disease characterized by B cells producing autoantibodies against nuclear proteins and DNA, especially anti-double-strand DNA (dsDNA) antibodies.
RP105 (CD180), the toll-like receptor- (TLR-) associated molecule, is expressed on normal B cells.
However, RP105-negative B cells increase in peripheral blood from patients with active SLE.
RP105 may regulate B-cell activation, and RP105-negative B cells produce autoantibodies and take part in pathophysiology of SLE.
It is possible that targeting RP105-negative B cells is one of the treatments of SLE.
In this paper, we discuss the RP105 biology and clinical significance in SLE.
