EndoS Reduces the Pathogenicity of Anti-mCOL7 IgG through Reduced Binding of Immune Complexes to Neutrophils
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (EndoS) has been shown to act as a potent pathogen-derived immunomodulatory molecule in autoimmune diseases. Here we investigated how EndoS treatment reduces the pathogenicity of rabbit anti-mCOL7 IgG using different experimental models of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA). Our results show that the EndoS treatment does not interfere with the binding of the antibody to the antigen but reduces immune complex (IC)-mediated neutrophil activation by impairing the binding of the IC to FcγR on neutrophils. On the basis of this newly identified EndoS-mediated mechanism we hope to develop new strategies in the treatment of the disease.

متن کاملIgG glycan hydrolysis attenuates ANCA-mediated glomerulonephritis.
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) directed against myeloperoxidase (MPO) and proteinase 3 (Pr3) are considered pathogenic in ANCA-associated necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis (NCGN) and vasculitis. Modulation of ANCA IgG glycosylation may potentially reduce its pathogenicity by abolishing Fc receptor-mediated activation of leukocytes and complement. Here, we investig...
متن کاملIgG glycan hydrolysis by a bacterial enzyme as a therapy against autoimmune conditions.
EndoS from Streptococcus pyogenes efficiently hydrolyzes the functionally important and conserved N-linked glycan of IgG in human blood. Repeated i.v. administration of EndoS in rabbits completely hydrolyzes the glycans of the whole IgG pool, despite the generation of anti-EndoS antibodies. EndoS administration had no apparent effects on the health of the animals. EndoS hydrolysis of the IgG gl...
متن کاملTherapeutic potential of deglycosylated antibodies.
Autoimmune destruction of self tissue is the consequential result of a convergence of several factors, both genetic and environmental, that effectively dislocates the immune system’s ability to tolerate selfantigens but simultaneously retains its focus on those perceived as foreign. Although many of these autoimmune targeted selfantigens are known, immune system triggers can be more elusive. Ne...
متن کاملEnzymatic deglycosylation converts pathogenic neuromyelitis optica anti-aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G into therapeutic antibody.
OBJECTIVE Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is caused by binding of pathogenic autoantibodies (NMO-immunoglobulin G [IgG]) to aquaporin-4 (AQP4) on astrocytes, which initiates complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and inflammation. We recently introduced mutated antibody (aquaporumab) and small-molecule blocker strategies for therapy of NMO, based on prevention of NMO-IgG binding to AQP4. Here, we i...
