Glutathione (GSH) is an abundant thiol-containing tripeptide that functions in redox homeostasis, protein folding, and iron metabolism. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, GSH depletion leads to increased sensitivity to oxidants and other toxic compounds, disruption of Fe-S cluster biogenesis, and eventually cell death. GSH pools are supplied by intracellular biosynthesis and GSH import from the extracellular environment.

  • Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects the skin, divided into three categories: acute, subacute, and chronic.
  • Treatment strategies for CLE involve patient education, medication regimens, and various therapies such as corticosteroids and immunomodulators, but currently, no biologic drugs are specifically approved for CLE.
  • Research is ongoing into monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) like belimumab and anifrolumab that have been approved for other lupus conditions, with potential new mAbs being investigated to improve treatment options for CLE patients.
