Autoimmune diseases
CENTRAL TOLERANCE IS INDUCED AND MAINTAINED IN THE BONE
MARROW AND THYMUS
Clonal deletion of self agressive B and T cell clones (not complete)
B AND T CELLS WITH SELF REACTIVITY ARE PRESENT IN THE
AVAILABLE PERIPHERAL T CELL REPERTOIRE
PERIPHERAL TOLERANCE
Maintenance of self tolerance of T-lymphocytes against tissuespecific self proteins which are not represented in the thymus
Active mechanisms at the level of CD4+ helper T-lymphocytes
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
Disturbance of tolerance
Misdirected adaptive immunity to healthy cells and tissues
PERIPHERAL TOLERANCE
IMMUNE RESPONSES ARE NOT INITIATED IN THE PERIPHERY
Normal tissue cells do not express MHC class II
NO SIGNAL 1. for CD4+ Th activation
Normal tissue cells do not express co-stimulatory molecules
and do not produce T cell differentiating cytokines
NO SIGNAL 2. for CD4+ Th activation
Migration of naive T lymphocytes to normal tissues is limited
Antigen presenting cells are not activated in normal tissues
NO SIGNAL 3.
PERIPHERAL TISSUES TOLERIZE THEMSELVES
(autoimmune regulator- AIRE)
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
• Chronic inflammatory conditions
• Repair mechanisms cannot compete with tissue
destruction caused by the immune system
• Variety of symptoms and of target tissues
• Mechanisms of recognition and effector functions are
the same as those acting against pathogens and
environmental antigens

Pemphigus vulgaris
Pemphigus is a rare skin disorder characterized by blistering of the skin
and mucous membranes. The most common type is pemphigus vulgaris,
which involves painful sores and blisters on the skin and in mouth.
Autoantibodies attack desmosomes.

Tolerance : Role of genetic and environmental factors
Practically all autoimmune diseases
Involve some T-cell defects
In the absence of T cell help
autoreactive B cells ate trapped
in the T-cell zone and die

FUNCTIONS OF REGULATORY T CELLS
• Maintenance of peripheral tolerance
• Prevention of autoimmunity
• Limitation of inflammatory processes asthma, inflammatory diseases
• Inhibition of protection against infectious diseases
• Limitation of anti-tumor immunity and protections

Sakaguchi,
Nat Immunol, 2010
In the absence of Treg cells the effector T-cells act as adjuvants as they
promote DC activation through increasing the expression of MHC and
co-stimulatory molecules and the production of inflammatory cytokines.

EFFICIENT WAY OF INHIBITION THROUGH DENDRITIC
CELLS
Defective central tolerance:
Autoimmune PolyEndocrinopathy Candidiasis-Ectodermal Dystrophy (APECED),
AIRE deficiency
Finnish population, Sardinians, Iranian Jews
APECED’ clinical signs
Regulatory T cells inhibit the activation of autoreactive
T-cells
IPEX: Immune dysregulation,
Polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy,
and X-linked syndrome
FoxP3 deficiency
Antibodies against streptococcal cell-wall antigens cross-react
with antigens on heart tissue
Self peptides that mimic pathogen-derived peptides
can stimulate T-cell responses
Sympathetic ophtalmia
Environmental factors – cigarette smoke
Goodpasture syndrome
Glomerulus stained for IgG deposition by immunofluorescence
Induction of MHC-II expression
on tissue cells facilitates autoimmunity
In SLE the immune response is broadened
in an antigen-specific manner
