    Comment in:

    Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease generated by deregulation of T cell-mediated B-cell activation, which results in glomerulonephritis and renal failure. Disease is treated with immunosuppressants and cytostatic agents that have numerous side effects. Here we examine the use of inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) gamma, a lipid kinase that regulates inflammation, in the MRL-lpr mouse model of SLE. Treatment reduced glomerulonephritis and prolonged lifespan, suggesting that P13Kgamma may be a useful target in the treatment of chronic inflammation.

    • Related Articles

      Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.

    • Compound (MeSH Keyword)

      PubChem chemical compound records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.

    • Gene (OMIM)

      Gene records associated with Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that cite the current articles in their reference lists.

    • Nucleotide (Weighted)

      Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.

    • OMIM (calculated)

      Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as references in the light bulb links within or in the citations at the end of the OMIM record. The references available through the light bulb link are collected using the PubMed related articles algorithm to identify records with similar terminology to the OMIM record.
