CD38 promotes pristane-induced chronic inflammation and increases susceptibility to experimental lupus by an apoptosis-driven and TRPM2-dependent mechanism

Abstract In this study, we investigated the role of CD38 in a pristane-induced murine model of lupus. CD38-deficient (Cd38 −/−) but not ART2-deficient (Art2 −/−) mice developed less severe lupus compared to wild type (WT) mice, and their protective phenotype consisted of (i) decreased IFN-I-stimulat...
