INTERNATIONAL TRENDS IN IMMUNITY VOL.1 NO.2 APRIL 2013ISSN 2326-3121 (Print) ISSN 2326-313X (Online) http://www.researchpub.org/journal/iti/iti.htmldiffering genetic background with respect to SLEsusceptibility genes [98] <strong>and</strong> will be important inbetter characterizing <strong>the</strong> autoimmune hazardassociated with <strong>the</strong>ir exposure. Future in vitro studiesin human cells should address i) cellular <strong>and</strong>molecular mechanisms by which EEDs lead to adysregulati<strong>on</strong> of T <strong>and</strong> B cell functi<strong>on</strong>s both inhealthy d<strong>on</strong>ors <strong>and</strong> patients with ADs; ii) <strong>the</strong> abilityof EEDs to act in combinati<strong>on</strong> with an endogenousestrogen via additive, synergistic, or antag<strong>on</strong>isticmechanisms. In c<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>, <strong>the</strong> future challenge willbe to establish whe<strong>the</strong>r estrogens may c<strong>on</strong>tribute, atleast <strong>on</strong> a susceptible background, to development ofautoimmunity, in an individual that might noto<strong>the</strong>rwise develop it, or to <strong>the</strong> worsening of <strong>the</strong>disease in affected individuals. Minor changes inc<strong>on</strong>sumer habits could have drastic effects <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong>exposure of <strong>the</strong> general populati<strong>on</strong>; lifestyle changes<strong>and</strong> dietary adjustments could be suggested as anadjuvant <strong>the</strong>rapy for SLE.REFERENCES[1] Mor<strong>on</strong>i L, Bianchi I, <strong>and</strong> Lleo A: Geoepidemiology, gender<strong>and</strong> autoimmune disease.
