Fibroblast A20 governs fibrosis susceptibility and its repression by DREAM promotes fibrosis in multiple organs

A20 gene variants are linked with systemic sclerosis (SS), but the mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors show that A20 expression is reduced in SS skin and lungs, that its ablation in mice induces SS, and that show that fibrosis can be ameliorated by induction of A20.
