Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a common autoimmune disease caused by multiple factors. The pathogenesis of SLE remains unclear. Helper T cell 2 (Th2 cell) is essential for humoral immunity, which participates in regulating type 2 immune response by producing typical cytokines of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-13. It is well known that Th2-associated immunity plays a vital role in autoimmune diseases, including SLE. However, current progress on the role and potential mechanism of Th2-associated immunity in SLE remains largely unknown. The work by Wang et al. have provided an in-depth association of Th2-associated immunity with SLE and the clinical application perspectives. We provide a more comprehensive and up-to-date commentary on Th2-associated immunity in regulating SLE to explore new therapeutic targets.
