项目摘要

Autoimmune diseases affect more than 2% of the US population, with effects on morbidity and mortality and associated health care costs that rival those of cancer and heart disease. Both genetic and environmental factors influence the development of autoimmune diseases, which result from an imbalance between activation and regulation of the immune system. As our understanding of the immunological mechanisms that drive these diseases has grown, the impetus has been to develop specific therapies that restore immune tolerance to disease-associated autoantigens. We recently identified by trans-ancestral mapping a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs1876453, located just inside the first intron of the immune-associated complement receptor 2 (CR2) gene that was enriched in controls rather than lupus cases, suggesting that it had a protective effect. CR2 is located directly 5’ of complement receptor 1 (CR1) at chromosome 1q32. We found that B cells from individuals with the protective SNP had increased transcription of the CR1 gene but no changes in CR2 transcriptional levels. We hypothesize that increased transcription of CR1 associated with the protective CR2 SNP results in the active induction of antigen-specific immune tolerance. We will evaluate the mechanism for this using several immunological and transcriptional approaches and ultimately test whether forced overexpression of CR1 restores tolerance in a model of systemic lupus erythematosus. We propose that CR1 is a viable target for the early treatment of lupus and other autoimmune diseases during the preclinical phase in which autoantibodies are present in the absence of symptoms. With rising enlistment into the military of young minority women who are at increased risk of developing lupus, the future extension of our findings into tangible interventions will have a substantial impact on veteran health.

自身免疫性疾病影响超过 2% 的美国人口，影响发病率和死亡率，相关的医疗保健费用可与癌症和心脏病的费用相媲美。因素影响自身免疫性疾病的发展，这是由于激活之间的不平衡造成的随着我们对驱动这些的免疫机制的理解。疾病已经增加，推动力是开发恢复免疫耐受的特定疗法我们最近通过单核苷酸的跨祖先定位来鉴定出与疾病相关的自身抗原。多态性 (SNP)，rs1876453，位于免疫相关补体的第一个内含子内受体 2 (CR2) 基因在对照而非狼疮病例中富集，表明它具有保护性 CR2 直接位于染色体 1q32 的补体受体 1 (CR1) 5’。具有保护性 SNP 的个体的 CR1 基因转录增加，但 CR2 基因没有变化我们努力研究与保护性 CR2 相关的 CR1 转录水平的增加。 SNP 导致主动诱导抗原特异性免疫耐受，我们将评估其机制。这使用了几种免疫学和转录方法，并最终测试是否强制 CR1 的过度表达可恢复系统性红斑狼疮模型的耐受性。是临床前阶段早期治疗狼疮和其他自身免疫性疾病的可行目标随着入伍人数的增加，在没有症状的情况下也存在自身抗体。年轻的少数族裔女性患狼疮的风险增加，未来我们的研究结果将扩展到切实的干预措施将对退伍军人的健康产生重大影响。
