Furthermore, rosiglitazone also reduces glomerular inflammation and autoantibody production in mouse models of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) [39], and pioglitazone inhibits the activation and proliferation of effector CD4 T cells from PBMCs of SLE patients [28], suggesting an important role of PPARγ in suppressing autoimmune diseases. The gene discussed is CD4; the disease is systemic lupus erythematosus.
