Increased HERV-E clone 4–1 expression contributes to DNA hypomethylation and IL-17 release from CD4+ T cells via miR-302d/MBD2 in systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract Background Increased human endogenous retroviruses E clone 4–1 (HERV-E clone 4–1) mRNA expression is observed in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and associates with the disease activity. In this study, we want to further investigate the mechanism of HERV-E clone 4–1 mRNA upregul...
