چکیده
Abstract While systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disproportionally affects women versus men, elevation in 17β -estradiol (E2) alone is not sufficient to promote the development of autoantibody producing B cells. The objective present study determine if B-cell intrinsic mechanisms contribute increased TLR7 response E2 stimulation. We identified that there were elevated circulating levels young African American (AA) SLE patients (24–41 yr-old), compared older AA (42–56 yr-old) and European (24–66 yr-old). Circulating positively correlated with anti-Smith (Sm) expression interferon-beta (IFNβ) naïve cells (n=39). Mouse studies used stimulates IFNβ sex plays a role influence cell responses E2. Serum Sm/RNP RNP autoantibodies female prone BXD2 mice post-puberty (12-wk-old) but pre-puberty (4–6-wk-old). At stage (>12 wk-old), significantly anti-DNA anti-Sm mice, male mice. This was associated an TLR7-induced CD69 transitional 1 (T1: CD23 −IgM +CD93 +) Interestingly, stimulation promoted intracellular T1 from Together, our results suggest combination susceptibility induction may play individuals predisposed SLE. supported by grants VA Merit Review grant (I01BX004049), NIH R01-AI-071110, R01 AI134023, Lupus Research Alliance Distinguished Innovator Award J.D.M, LRA Target Identification H-C.H., P30-AR-048311

Toll-like receptor 9 and interferon-γ receptor signaling suppress the B-cell fate of uncommitted progenitors in mice.
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome describes a heterogeneous group of cytokine storm disorders, with different immunogens and cytokines leading to variations in organ pathology. The severe inflammation generated by the cytokine storm results in widespread organ pathology including alterations in T- and B-lymphocyte counts. This study explores the roles of TLR9 and IFN-γR stimulation in dec...

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by the production of autoantibodies that are frequently directed against nucleic acid-associated antigens. To better understand how B cells reactive with such antigens are regulated, we generated a model system in which heavy and light chain genes encoding 564 immunoglobulin have been targeted to the heavy and light chain loci of the nonautoim...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the potential synergy of IL-7-driven T cell-dependent and TLR7-mediated B cell activation and to assess the additive effects of monocyte/macrophages in this respect. METHODS Isolated CD19 B cells and CD4 T cells from healthy donors were co-cultured with TLR7 agonist (TLR7A, Gardiquimod), IL-7, or their combination with or without CD14 monocytes/macrophages (T/B/mono;...
متن کاملType I interferon receptor controls B-cell expression of nucleic acid-sensing Toll-like receptors and autoantibody production in a murine model of lupus
INTRODUCTION Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the production of high-titer IgG autoantibodies directed against nuclear autoantigens. Type I interferon (IFN-I) has been shown to play a pathogenic role in this disease. In the current study, we characterized the role of the IFNAR2 chain of the type I IFN (IFN-I) receptor in the targeting of nuclei...
