The PTPN22 allele encoding an R620W variant interferes with the removal of developing autoreactive B cells in humans.
Protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene polymorphisms are associated with many autoimmune diseases. The major risk allele encodes an R620W amino acid change that alters B cell receptor (BCR) signaling involved in the regulation of central B cell tolerance. To assess whether this PTPN22 risk allele affects the removal of developing autoreactive B cells, we tested by ELISA ...
متن کاملA disease-associated PTPN22 variant promotes systemic autoimmunity in murine models.
Multiple autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Graves disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus, are associated with an allelic variant of protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor 22 (PTPN22), which encodes the protein LYP. To model the human disease-linked variant LYP-R620W, we generated knockin mice expressing the analogous mutation, R619W, in the murine orthol...
متن کاملThe role of PTPN22 risk variant in the development of autoimmunity: finding common ground between mouse and human.
The PTPN22 1858T variant was among the first single nucleotide polymorphisms to be associated with multiple autoimmune diseases. Lymphocyte tyrosine phosphatase, a coding variant within the tyrosine phosphatases, is known to participate in AgR signaling; the impact of this variant on the immune response and its role in the development of autoimmunity have been a focus of study. These studies us...
متن کاملAutoimmunity-associated protein tyrosine phosphatase PEP negatively regulates IFN-α receptor signaling
The protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN22(C1858T) allelic polymorphism is associated with increased susceptibility for development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune diseases. PTPN22 (also known as LYP) and its mouse orthologue PEP play important roles in antigen and Toll-like receptor signaling in immune cell functions. We demonstrate here that PEP also plays an important...
متن کاملAltered B cell homeostasis is associated with type I diabetes and carriers of the PTPN22 allelic variant.
The PTPN22 genetic variant 1858T, encoding Lyp620W, is associated with multiple autoimmune disorders for which the production of autoantibodies is a common feature, suggesting a loss of B cell tolerance. Lyp620W results in blunted BCR signaling in memory B cells. Because BCR signal strength is tightly coupled to central and peripheral tolerance, we examined whether Lyp620W impacts peripheral B ...
