Nucleosome, the main autoantigen in systemic lupus erythematosus, induces direct dendritic cell activation via a MyD88-independent pathway: consequences on inflammation.
Nucleosome is the major autoantigen in systemic lupus erythematosus. It is found as a circulating complex in the sera of patients and seems to play a key role in disease development. In this study, we show for the first time that physiologic concentrations of purified nucleosomes directly induce in vitro dendritic cell (DC) maturation of mouse bone marrow-derived DC, human monocyte-derived DC (...
متن کاملMethodological update detection of antibodies to dsDNA: current insights into its relevance.
Ever since its first discovery in 1957, anti-DNA has taken a special place amongst the other antinuclear antibodies. Even today, it stands out between these, because of its high specificity for one particular disease: systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Furthermore, anti-DNA has been shown to actually play a role in a key disease feature of SLE: lupus nephritis. Binding of anti-DNA to the glome...
متن کاملThe role of dendritic cells in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus
The etiology of the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus is not known, but aberrant apoptosis and/or insufficient clearance of apoptotic material have been assigned a pivotal role. During apoptosis, nucleosomes and several endogenous danger-associated molecular patterns are incorporated in blebs. Recent data indicate that apoptotic blebs induce maturation of myeloid dendritic cells, ...
متن کاملLupus nephritis: enigmas, conflicting models and an emerging concept.
Autoantibodies to components of chromatin, which include double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), histones and nucleosomes, are central in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis. How anti-chromatin autoantibodies exert their nephritogenic activity, however, is controversial. One model assumes that autoantibodies initiate inflammation when they cross-react with intrinsic glomerular structures such as component...
متن کاملReactivity in ELISA with DNA-loaded nucleosomes in patients with proliferative lupus nephritis.
Autoantibodies against nucleosomes are considered a hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We compared in patients with proliferative lupus nephritis the diagnostic usefulness of a dsDNA-loaded nucleosome ELISA (anti-dsDNA-NcX) with ELISAs in which dsDNA or nucleosomes alone were coated. First, we analysed whether DNA loading on nucleosomes led to masking of epitopes by using defined m...
