项目摘要

Project Summary Uveitis is one of the leading causes of acquired blindness. Uveitis can be subdivided based on the anatomic portion of the uvea that is affected; 85% of uveitis is predominantly anterior. Since HLA B27 is associated with 50% of the patients who develop acute anterior uveitis, HLA B27 related acute anterior uveitis is easily the most common phenotype of uveitis. Despite HLA B7’s remarkable role in contributing to the pathogenesis of uveitis, the mechanism that explains this effect is unknown. Using a rat model, we have recently reported that HLA B27 shapes the microbiome, the microbial cells that co-habit the human body. Furthermore, we note that specific gut bacteria including Candidatus arthromatus are coated with IgA in the rat model. In addition, bacteria in the rat model are translocated from the gut to the joint. Importantly we have extrapolated these observations to patients by showing that HLA B27 shapes the microbiome in people and that IgA coated bacteria are more prevalent in B27+ subjects relative to controls. We hypothesize that the microbiome is causally related to B27-related acute anterior uveitis. We further hypothesize that intestinal bacteria are translocated to sites of inflammation such as the uvea. We propose 3 aims to test these hypotheses. These studies represent an innovative approach to understand the pathogenesis of HLA B27-related disease, a goal which has been elusive for 43 years despite the strength of the association.
项目摘要 葡萄膜炎是获得失明的主要原因之一。可以根据解剖学细分葡萄膜炎 受影响的葡萄病的一部分; 85%的葡萄膜炎主要是前部。由于HLA B27与 患有急性前葡萄膜炎的患者中有50%,HLA B27相关的急性前葡萄膜炎很容易是 葡萄膜炎的最常见表型。尽管HLA B7在促进发病机理方面发挥着出色的作用 葡萄膜炎,解释这种作用的机制尚不清楚。使用大鼠模型,我们最近报告了 HLA B27塑造了与人体共持的微生物细胞的微生物组。此外,我们注意到 在大鼠模型中,特定的肠道细菌在包括念珠菌的促腹膜膜中涂有IgA。此外, 大鼠模型中的细菌从肠道转换为关节。重要的是,我们推断了这些 通过证明HLA B27塑造了患者的观察 细菌在B27+受试者相对于对照组中更为普遍。我们假设微生物组是 与B27相关的急性前葡萄膜炎的因果关系。我们进一步假设肠道细菌是 易位到炎症部位,例如卵子。我们提出了3个旨在检验这些假设的目标。这些 研究代表了一种创新的方法来了解HLA B27相关疾病的发病机理,这是一个目标 目的地已有43年的目的地,这是该协会的实力。
