CXCL4 assembles DNA into liquid crystalline complexes to amplify TLR9-mediated interferon-α production in systemic sclerosis
CXCL4 is an inflammatory chemokine signaling through CXCR3 receptor. Here the authors show a CXCR3-independent function of CXCL4: it forms liquid crystals with DNA, potentiating mammalian and bacterial DNA recognition by TLR9, thereby amplifying interferon-a production in systemic sclerosis.
