24 Apoptosis and antigen In SLE, apoptotic cells become secondarily necrotic because of their impaired clearance. Eggleton, P Antigen Antibody Complexes. els. Nature Genetics 2000;25:135

25 Arbuckle MR, et al. N Engl J Med. 2003;349(16): 전신홍반루푸스발생전자가항체의존재 At least one SLE autoantibody was present before the diagnosis in 88% of SLE patients. ANA, anti-phospholipid, anti-ro, and anti-la in a mean 3.4 years before the Dx. Anti-ds DNA antibodies in a mean 2.2 years before the Dx. Anti-Sm and anti-nrnp in a mean 1.2 years before the Dx.

28 B cell biology Role of B cells in SLE - Loss of B cell tolerance - Abnormalities in the B cell compartment - Initiation and propagation of autoimmunity - Autoantibody-independent function

29 Gene defects may affect Loss of B cell tolerance 1) B-cell activation thresholds (eg, Fc receptor [FcR]) 2) B-cell longevity (eg, B-cell activator of the tumor necrosis factor family [BAFF] transgenics) 3) apoptotic cell/autoantigen processing (eg, mer knockout)

30 Abnormalities in the B cell compartment in human SLE Healthy subject - Important tolerance checkpoint operates to censor autoreactive B cells in the mature naive compartment - 50% to 75% of newly produced human B cells are autoreactive and must be silenced by tolerance mechanisms Key checkpoints - immature B-cell stage in the BM - between new transitional emigrants and mature B cells in the periphery SLE - Defect in transitional B-cell checkpoint

31 B cell development, selection, and function

32 Abnormalities in the B cell compartment in human SLE increased calcium flux on signaling through the BCR - high or aberrant expression of costimulatory molecules (CD80, CD86, and CD40 ligand) abnormalities in B-cell homeostasis - naive B-cell lymphopenia - expansion of peripheral blood plasma cells - increased transitional B cells - expansion of activated memory B-cell subsets

33 Initiation and propagation of autoimmunity Immune dysregulation by B cells in SLE - serving as the precursors of antibody-secreting cells - taking up and presenting autoantigens to T cells - helping to regulate and organize inflammatory responses through cytokine and chemokine secretion - regulating other immune cells

34 Immune complex binding -> activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (DCs) by costimulation of TLRs (TLR-7, -8, or -9) and FcRs -> stimulating the secretion of large quantities of IFN-a -> activation and maturation of DCs and stimulation of T and B cells -> myeloid DCs produce BAFF, triggers more B-cell activation Binding autoantibodies -> can directly trigger activation and proliferation of autoantibodyproducing B cells - Deficiency of TLR-7 or -9 - prevent autoab production in mouse models - Mechanisms of action of antimalarials - inhibition of TLR signaling

35 Autoantibody-dependent and independent mechanisms Recruit CXCR5+ follicular T helper (TFH) cells to GC -> influence of B cells on TFH cells via ICOSL and OX40L costimulation -> hyperactive GC, breakdown of B-cell tolerance, autoab production, lupus-like phenoytype

36

37 Cytokines involved in SLE Activation of antigen-specific CD4+ T cell Activation of B cells by cytokines TNF-α (Tumor necrosis factor-α) IFN type 1, 2 (Interferon type 1, 2) BLyS (B lymphocyte stimulator) IL-6, IL-10 (Interleukin-6, 10) IL-2, TGF (Transforming growth factor) Decreased induction of regulatory & inhibitory T cells

38 Roles of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in SLE

40 B-cell growth factors Ligands BLyS APRIL Heterotrimer Receptors BAFF-R BCMA TACI Proteoglycans Increased B-cell survival Costimulation of B-cell prolferation Ig class switch recombination Enhanced APC function Germinal center formation Regulation of B-cell tolerance Sequester APRIL at cell surface to improve TACI and/or BCMA signalling? Mediate plasma cell trafficking Issacs JD, et al. EULAR 2007, Barcelona #SP0069

41 Interferon-alpha in SLE Family of type I IFNs: IFN-α, IFN-β - induced by DNA and RNA virus infection (through intracellular nucleic acid receptors or after engagement of TLR: TLR3 for double-stranded RNA, TLR7 or -8 for single-stranded RNA, or TLR9 for demethylated CpG-richDNA) - mainly by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pdcs) Function of IFN-α - differentiation of monocytes into dendritic-like cells - induction of natural killer and natural killer T cells - promotion of IFN-γ production - support for B-cell differentiation into class-switched antibody producing cells - occasionally induce apoptosis -> produce self antigen

42 Insights from gene expression studies Microarray - increased levels of type I IFN induced genes in lupus PBMCs (MX1, the OAS family, and IFIT1) - both type I IFNs and type II IFN (IFN-γ) fluctuation of IFN levels in individual patients - ELISA platforms for measuring IFN-α have not been useful - fluctuations in IFN-inducible gene expression in PBMC over time, in some cases, with close parallel to fluctuations in disease activity scores or response to therapy

43 In SLE, all pathways lead to endogenous nucleic acids-mediated production of interferon (IFNα). Bertsias G K et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2010;69:

44 Advances in research into mechanisms of IFN pathway activation in SLE - Genetic contributions to type I interferon production and response (IRF5, TRF7, TNFAIP3, STAT4,..) - Molecular pathways mediating production of IFN-α (Fc receptor, TLR7, TLR9, anti RBP,.. ) - IFN-α in murine lupus model (pristane administration)

45 Mechanisms of organ damage in SLE

46 Biomarkers of SLE Previous: ex) GFR, serum creatinine, ESR, CRP defined as a genetic, biologic, biochemical, or event related correlate with disease pathogenesis or manifestations can be evaluated qualitatively and/or quantitatively in laboratories should be (1) biologically active and pathophysiologically relevant (2) be simple to use in routine practice (3) accurately and sensitively change with disease activity

47 Biomarkers in SLE Overall disease activity Genes Interleukins Chemokines Other molecules Lupus diagnosis Organ specific Renal involvement -serum Urine Neural Skin PTPN22, IRF-5, STAT-4, type I interferon, IFIT 1, OAS1, LY6E, ISG15, Mx1, FCγIIa polymorphysm IL-22, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-18, IL-2 receptor α RANTES, CXCL-11, CCL-19, MCP-1, CXCL-13, IP-10 CD27, Reticulocyte-C4d, BLys E-C4d, anti-ds DNA, ANA, Antinucleosome Antinucleosome, Anti-C1q, α-actinin, anti-α-actinin, Adrenomedulin Endothelial-1, Lipocalin-2, U-MCP-1, Migration inhibition factor, Adiponectin, VCAM-1, P-selectin, CXCL-16, FOXP3, TWEAK, Osteoprotegerin Antihistone, Anti-N, AECA, MMP-9, Anti-NMDA, Anti-NR2, Anti-P ribosome Anticyclic citrullinated peptide

48 Summary B cell is a critical player in the pathogenesis of SLE. B cells contribute to SLE pathogenesis by antibody-dependent and independent mechanisms. Although the primary triggers of SLE and the IFN pathway remain undefined, many studies showed crucial roles of IFN pathway in SLE pathogenesis. To understand these cytokine abnormalities may be beneficial in figuring out the pathogenesis of SLE and developing effective targeting therapeutics.
