SOCS1 and systemic lupus erythematosus: Monocyte-derived DCs (moDCs) from Blimp1 SLE-risk allele carriers exhibited increased expression of miRNA let-7c, which inhibited Blimp1 and also blocked lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS1) expression, contributing to the increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines [13].
