This $793,093 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) aims to define the regulatory landscape of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and its cardiovascular disease (CVD) comorbidity. The grantee, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, will conduct systematic, high-throughput studies in macrophages derived from induced pluripotent stem cells to identify genetic variants that disrupt regulatory...
The University of Massachusetts Medical School was awarded a $494,929 Project Grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to study the role of Toll-like receptors, type II interferon and type III interferon in a murine model of autoinflammation. The grant will support research exploring the effector mechanisms responsible for inducing and regulating cutaneous lupus using genetically modified mice with discriminating mutations. Specifically, the researchers will use...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), aims to develop a simplified and cost-effective mouse model of Mycobacterium abscessus lung disease. The $426,938 award to The Johns Hopkins University will fund research to verify the reproducibility of a new mouse model using additional M. abscessus isolates and evaluate the model's ability to replicate the efficacy...

This Project Grant award of $413,860, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), will support research to investigate the interactions between non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections, specifically Mycobacterium abscessus (MAB), and the onset/progression of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The research will utilize preclinical mouse models and ex vivo models with fetal liver-derived alveolar-like macrophages to examine how distinct MAB clinical isolates impact inflammation and lupus progression, as well as how glucocorticoid treatment alters these interactions. The goal is to enhance understanding of how respiratory bacterial infections contribute to autoimmune disease progression and identify new avenues for lupus prevention and treatment.
