项目摘要

TITLE: FDC regulation of self-reactive B cells Abstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) is a B cell disease characterized by secretion of pathogenic autoantibody specific for nuclear antigens or "DAMPS". A hallmark of the disease is spontaneous formation of germinal centers (GC) in spleen and lymph nodes and development of pathogenic long- lived memory B cells. Follicular dendritic cells (FDC) which are stromal derived and important in maintaining the architecture of B cell follicles are essential to formation and maintenance of GC as they are a major source of B cell antigen and survival factors. We propose FDC play a critical role in the regulation of tolerance of autoreactive B cells and their differentiation and secretion of pathogenic antibodies. Using a lupus-prone mouse model, we found that FDC uptake of nuclear antigens via CD21 triggers endosomal TLR promoting B cell loss of tolerance and differentiation. Thus, FDC are not only a critical source of self-antigen; but they are an important source of signals that can “drive” self-reactive B cells to differentiate into autoantibody producing cells and memory B cells. These findings suggest FDC may be a novel target for therapy in lupus patients. To test this possibility in a pre-clinical model, lupus mice will be treated over a period of 1 month with a blocking antibody to the CD21 receptor expressed by FDC. Our hypothesis will take advantage of several novel murine models such as a human-mouse CD21 chimeric lupus mouse where the FDC express murine CD21 and the B cells express human CD21. Using this novel system, we will test the efficacy of anti-mouse CD21 therapy in the elimination of retention of nuclear antigens by FDC and "turning-off" TLR signaling and cytokine secretion. Three aims are proposed: Aim 1. Test the hypothesis that the tolerance of self-reactive B cells is regulated by FDCs Aim 2. Test the hypothesis that the maintenance of self-reactive memory B cells is FDC-dependent Aim 3. Test the efficacy of blocking CD21 in lupus mouse models Summary: The successful completion of this study will not only provide valuable reagents and novel tools to push the field forward but it could lead to development of novel strategies and/or blocking therapies for systemic autoimmunity such as lupus.

标题：FDC自反应B细胞的调节抽象的：全身性红斑狼疮（狼疮）是一种B细胞疾病，其特征是致病性的分泌针对核抗原或“潮湿”的自身抗体。该疾病的标志是发起的脾和淋巴结中的生发中心（GC）以及致病性长期记忆B细胞的发展。卵泡树突状细胞（FDC）是基质的衍生而成，对于维持B细胞的结构很重要卵泡对于GC的形成和维护至关重要，因为它们是B细胞抗原的主要来源，生存因子。我们建议FDC在调节自动反应性B细胞的耐受性和它们的病原抗体分化和分泌。使用可容易狼疮的鼠标模型，我们发现通过CD21触发核抗原的FDC摄取核抗原触发内体TLR促进B细胞丧失的耐受性和分化。那不仅是自我抗原的关键来源。但是它们是重要的来源可以“驱动”自反应性B细胞以区分自身抗体产生细胞和记忆b的信号细胞。这些发现表明，FDC可能是狼疮患者治疗的新目标。测试这种可能性 lupus小鼠将在1个月内用CD21的抗体进行1个月的治疗。 FDC表达的受体。我们的假设将利用几种新颖的鼠模型，例如人鼠CD21嵌合狼疮小鼠，其中FDC表达鼠CD21和B细胞表达人CD21。使用这种新型系统，我们将测试抗小鼠CD21治疗在进化中的效率 FDC和“关闭” TLR信号传导和细胞因子分泌保留核抗原的保留。提出了三个目标： AIM 1。检验以下假设：自反应B细胞的耐受性受到FDC的调节目标2。检验以下假设：自我反应记忆B细胞的维持是FDC依赖性的 AIM 3。测试在狼疮小鼠模型中阻断CD21的效率摘要：这项研究的成功完成不仅将提供有价值的试剂和新颖的工具将领域向前推动，但可能会导致新的策略和/或阻止疗法的发展系统性自身免疫，例如狼疮。
