ton, has now identified VentX as a gene regulatory protein that is key to the generation of human macrophages from monocytes. Importantly, the team also found that VentX is pivotal to the proinflammatory function of human macrophages. As expression of VentX was found to correlate with expression of proinflammatory mediators in immune cells isolated from the blood of patients with autoimmune diseases, the authors suggest that dysregulation of VentX may play a role in the development of autoimmune diseases.
