The research will rigorously evaluate the...

This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) aims to develop a novel therapeutic approach to simultaneously eradicate autoantibody-producing plasma cells and their precursors in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The primary objectives are to determine the effects of knocking down the long isoform of the prolactin receptor (LFPRLR) on pathogenic B-cell subsets, including plasma cells, in both murine models and human samples of SLE. The research will employ advanced single-cell immune profiling techniques and correlate findings with standard indicators of autoimmune disease pathology. If successful, this project could lead to the development of an effective, non-toxic, and isoform-specific therapeutic strategy to sustain disease remission in patients with SLE.
