Abstract

Recruitment of leukocytes is a characteristic feature of tissue injury in systemic lupus erythematosus, including lupus nephritis. Locally secreted chemokines and their receptors are important mediators of leukocyte recruitment to the specific sites of immune complex injury, and contribute to renal inflammatory disease in the initiation and progression phase. Therefore, chemokines and chemokine receptors represent potential therapeutic targets in lupus nephritis. In this review we summarize available experimental and human data supporting their functional role in lupus nephritis. Moreover, interventional studies with chemokine and chemokine receptor antagonists that show the therapeutic potential of chemokine antagonists in experimental models of lupus nephritis and potentially in human renal disease are discussed.
