In SLE, Nielepkowicz-Goździńska A and others found that CXCL10 and CXCL11 are associated with the accumulation of neutrophils in the alveolar spaces of patients with SLE lung fibrosis, potentially contributing to interstitial fibrosis (52), providing some support for our hypothesis. Here, CXCL11 is linked to pulmonary fibrosis.
