Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease associated with multiple phenotypic and functional aberrations in T lymphocytes. Among these, altered expression and/or activity of several protein kinases and phosphatases has been consistently documented in T cells obtained from patients with SLE. In this review, we describe and contextualize some of the kinase and phosphatase defects reported in T cells from patients with SLE, highlighting their relevance and possible consequences. Additionally, we discuss the origin of the defects and its significance for disease development and expression.
