Pharmacological Mechanism of Chinese Medicine in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Narrative Review
摘要
Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disorder affecting multiple systems
characterized by the development of harmful autoantibodies and immune complexes that lead to damage in organs and tissues. Chinese medicine (CM) plays a role in mitigating complications
enhancing treatment effectiveness
and reducing toxicity of concurrent medications
and ensuring a safe pregnancy. However
CM mainly solves the disease comprehensively through multi-target and multi-channel regulation process
therefore
its treatment mechanism is often complicated
involving many molecular links. This review introduces the research progress of pathogenesis of SLE from the aspects of genetics
epigenetics
innate immunity and acquired immunity
and then discusses the molecular mechanism and target of single Chinese herbal medicine and prescription that are commonly used and effective in clinic to treat SLE.
