Expression of ets family of genes in systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjogren's syndrome.

We have examined the expression of three members of the ets family of genes, ETS1, ETS2 and ERGB/Fli-1, in lymphocytes from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and in two murine autoimmune model systems. The ERGB/Fli-1 gene is expressed at a higher level in lymphocytes from autoimmune disease patients than healthy individuals. In addition, we found that the ERGB/Fli-1 gene expression is higher in splenic T-cells from lupus prone mice and in infiltrating lymphocytes in the salivary glands of HTLV-I tax transgenic mice. Taken together, these results suggest that the elevated expression of the ERGB/Fli-1 gene in lymphocytes may be a prelude to the development of autoimmune diseases.
