Supporting Information Desnues et al. 10.1073/pnas.1314121111 SI Materials and Methods Mice. Toll-like receptor (TLR)8 / and TLR9 / mice were generated as described previously (1, 2). TLR9 / mice were obtained from S. Akira (Osaka University, Osaka, Japan). Double TLR8/9 / mice were generated by intercrossing TLR8 / with TLR9 / mice. All three TLR-deficient mouse genotypes were backcrossed on the C57BL/6 background for more than 10 generations. C57BL/6 mice were purchased from the Charles River Laboratories. Unless otherwise specified, age- and sex-matched mice were used for each experiment. Mice were housed under specific pathogen-free conditions at the Centre d Immunologie de Marseille- Luminy and experiments were conducted in accordance with institutional guidelines for animal care and use and European directives. Reagents. R848, LPS from Escherichia coli 0111-B4, Pam 3 CSK 4, CpG ODN 1826, and poly I:C were purchased from Invivogen. Recombinant mouse IFN-α was from Calbiochem. Preparation of Cells and Quantification of Cytokines. Bone marrow cells from mice were extracted from femur and tibias and cultured with GM-CSF or M-CSF for the production of bone marrow dendritic cells (BM-DCs) or BM-macrophages, respectively as previously described (1). For the production of bone marrowplasmacytoid DCs (pdc), bone marrow cells depleted of erythrocytes were cultured in RPMI, 10% (vol/vol) FBS, 2 mm GlutaMAX (Gibco), 1 mm sodium pyruvate, 1% (vol/vol) MEM Non-Essential Amino Acids (Gibco), 50 μm β-mercaptoethanol, and 2.5% (vol/vol) B16-Flt3L cell line supernatant (source of Flt3 ligand) at 2 10 6 cells/ml in six-well plates for 9 d (3). B cells were purified from spleen by negative selection using the B-cell isolation kit (Miltenyi). Purity was assessed by FACS and above 96%. Cytokines levels in culture supernatants were measured by IL-6 and TNF (ebioscience) ELISA kits. For intracellular cytokine staining splenocytes were treated with the indicated stimuli in the presence of Brefeldin A (e-biosciences) for 4 h. RNA Isolation and Quantitative PCR. Total RNA was isolated with TRIzol reagent (Gibco, Invitrogen) or RNA easy kit (Qiagen). RNA was reversed-transcribed with Supercsript II reverse transcriptase (Invivogen) and quantitative PCR for TLR7, IFN-β, and β-actin was performed as described previously (1). Serological Analysis. Evaluation of IgM and IgG2a, and IgG autoantibodies against DNA, RNA, ribonucleoprotein (RNP) and Smith ribonucleoprotein (smrnp) on serum samples were performed as described previously (1). Flow Cytometric Analysis. Cell suspensions were incubated with 24G2 hybridoma supernatant and then stained using immunofluorescence-labeled antibodies against the following antigens: B220, CD3, CD4, CD8, NK1.1, CD19, CD11b, CD11c, Ly6G, Ly6C, CD21, CD23, CD5, CD44,, CD38, CD138, CD24, and CD172a (SIRPα) from BD Biosciences, IA/IE (MHC class II), GL7 from ebioscience, and SiglecH from Biolegend. For intracellular cytokine staining cells were fixed with Cytofix/Cytoperm (BD Biosciences) for 20 min on ice and stained using immunofluorescence-labeled antibodies for TNF and IL12p40/p70 (BD Biosciences). Flow cytometry was conducted using an LSR2 (BD Biosciences) and data were analyzed with FlowJo (Tree Star). Histology, Immunofluorescence, and Antinuclear Antibody Staining. For histopathology studies, kidneys were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. For light microscopy, 3- to 4-μm-thick tissue sections were stained with H&E and periodic acid-schiff. To determine the extent of renal damage, all renal biopsies were analyzed in a blinded fashion by a pathologist. Typical glomerular active lesions of lupus nephritis were evaluated: glomerular cellularity (mesangial cell proliferation, endocapillary proliferation, and inflammatory cells), glomerular deposits, extracapillary proliferation, as well as, tubulointerstitial chronic lesions: tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, and interstitial infiltrates. Lesions were graded semiquantitatively using a scoring system from 0 to 4 (0, no changes; 1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, high; 4, severe). The total histological score for each specimen was derived from the sum of all of the described parameters. Immunofluorescence IgG and IgM staining on kidney sections was performed as described previously (1). Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in mouse sera were tested with Hep-2 cells fixed on slides (Biomedical Diagnostics). Sera were diluted in PBS 1:60 and an Alexa Fluor 488 anti-mouse IgG antibody (Invitrogen) was used to detect mouse antibodies. Statistical Analysis. Statistics were calculated using Prism 5 (GraphPad Software) by Mann Whitney U test with P values indicated throughout as P < 0.05, P < 0.01, and P < 0.001. 1. Demaria O, et al.
