abstract = {Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by B cell hyperactivity leading to the production of autoantibodies, some of which having a deleterious effect. Reducing autoantibody production thus represents a way of controlling lupus pathogenesis, and a better understanding of the molecular and cellular factors involved in the differentiation of B cells into plasma cells could allow identifying new therapeutic targets. Follicular helper T cells (TFH) represent a distinct subset of CD4(+) T cells specialized in providing help to B cells. They are required for the formation of germinal centers and the generation of long-lived serological memory and, as such, are suspected to play a central role in SLE. Recent advances in the field of TFH biology have allowed the identification of important molecular factors involved in TFH differentiation, regulation, and function. Interestingly, some of these TFH-related molecules have been described to be dysregulated in lupus patients. In the present review, we give an overview of the aberrant expression and/or function of such key players in lupus, and we highlight their potential as therapeutic targets.},

abstract = {Decysin, a gene encoding a disintegrin metalloprotease, is transcribed in human dendritic cells (DC) and germinal centers (GC). We have cloned its murine homologue and show that it is processed by the endoprotease furin before secretion of the catalytic domain. We have defined the cell types that express decysin in mouse spleen in the course of an immune response to T cell-dependent Ags. Like in humans, decysin is transcribed by activated CD11c(+) DC that enter the T cell zone from the marginal zone (MZ). In the GC, decysin is expressed by follicular DC and tingible body macrophages. In addition, a MZ cell population expresses decysin and appears to migrate into the B cell follicle. The majority of these follicle-homing cells express the mannose receptor ligand, a marker for the macrophage-like MZ metallophils. The follicle-homing cells are M-CSF dependent, as they are absent in op/op mice that lack functional M-CSF. This suggests that mannose receptor ligand(+) MZ metallophils differentiate into cells that migrate from the MZ into the B cell follicle. Decysin represents the first marker for this previously unrecognized cell population of the mouse spleen, which may represent a precursor for GCDC and may be specialized in the transport of unprocessed Ag from the MZ into developing GC.},
