In this study, we tested serum levels and mRNA levels of PGRN, IL-6, proteinase3 (PR3), TNFR, TNF-α in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of SLE patient and normal controls and dsDNA antibody to investigate the possible role of PGRN in SLE patients. Here, IL6 is linked to systemic lupus erythematosus.
