Abstract

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an idiopathic autoimmune disorder of indeterminate etiology with multiple immune effector dysfunctions, which afflict females in the child bearing years. Recently the applicant has identified mRNA transcript editing of PKA-I RIa-subunit and up-regulation of the transcript editing gene, adenosine deaminase, that acts on RNA (ADAR) in SLE T lymphocytes. Therefore, the major goal of this project is to identify RNA editing events in the gene transcripts of SLE T cells and the subsequent dissection of editing mechanisms. Identification of this new mechanism of transcript mutations will provide new insights into the SLE pathogenesis.
