Abstract
Autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), are associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition that can lead to heart failure. However, whether T cells also contribute to the occurrence of PAH in SLE, has not been clarified. The objective of this study was to elucidate the role of Activin A and activated receptor signaling in SLE-PAH.
