The Spiral of disease progress in SLE
Apoptosis and antigen
• In SLE, apoptotic cells become secondarily necrotic because of their
impaired clearance.

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
Loss of B cell tolerance
• Gene defects may affect
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)
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
B cell development, selection, and function
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
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
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
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
Cytokines involved in SLE
• Activation of antigen-specific CD4+ T cell
 Activation of B cells by cytokines

 Sequester APRIL at cell
surface to improve TACI
and/or BCMA signalling?
 Mediate plasma cell

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
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
In SLE, all pathways lead to endogenous nucleic acids-mediated
production of interferon (IFNα).
Bertsias G K et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2010;69:1603-1611
• 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)

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.
