Abstract

AbstractFli‐1 is a critical factor involved in hematopoietic stem cells, vascular endothelial cells apoptosis, and differentiation. Similarly, Fli‐1 regulates immune cell proliferation and differentiation, such as T cells, B cells, and monocytes. Regarding T/B cell dysfunction, SLE including LN is recognized to be associated with abnormal expression and function of Fli‐1. Moreover, three ligands of Fli‐1 including CXCL10 (C‐X‐C motif chemokine ligand 10), CXCR3 (C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor 3), CXCL13 are widely discussed in SLE/LN. In this comprehensive review, we not only discussed Fli‐1 within SLE/LN pathogenesis, but also discussed the effects of CXCL10, CXCR3, and CXCL13 on SLE/LN development. Furthermore, we discussed how Fli‐1 regulates CXCL10, CXCR3, and CXCL13, and then involved in lupus development. It is possible that the Fli‐1 axis might be a potential target in SLE and LN.
