FCGR2B and glomerulonephritis: After 4 weeks of oral Syk inhibitor, 40 week-old FcγRIIb−/− mice (a full-blown lupus model) demonstrated less prominent lupus parameters (serum anti-dsDNA, proteinuria, and glomerulonephritis), systemic inflammation, as evaluated by serum TNFa, IL-6, and citrullinated histone H3 (CitH3), gut permeability defect, as indicated by serum FITC dextran assay, serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and serum (1 → 3)-β-D-glucan (BG), extracellular traps (ETs) and immune complex deposition in spleens and kidneys (immunofluorescent staining of CitH3 and immunoglobulin G) than FcγRIIb−/− mice with placebo.
