B1-cell-produced anti-phosphatidylserine antibodies contribute to lupus nephritis development via TLR-mediated Syk activation

Autoantibodies produced by B cells play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).However,both the cellular source of antiphospholipid antibodies and their contributions to the development of lupus nephritis(LN)remain largely unclear.Here,we report a pathogenic role of anti-phosphatidylserine(PS)autoantibodies in the development of LN.Elevated serum PS-specific IgG levels were measured in model mice and SLE patients,especially in those with LN.PS-specific IgG accumulation was found in the kidney biopsies of LN patients.Both transfer of SLE PS-specific IgG and PS immunization triggered lupus-like glomerular immune complex deposition in recipient mice.ELISPOT analysis identified B1a cells as the main cell type that secretes PS-specific IgG in both lupus model mice and patients.Adoptive transfer of PS-specific B1a cells accelerated the PS-specific autoimmune response and renal damage in recipient lupus model mice,whereas depletion of B1a cells attenuated lupus progression.In culture,PS-specific B1a cells were significantly expanded upon treatment with chromatin components,while blockade of TLR signal cascades by DNase I digestion and inhibitory ODN 2088 or R406 treatment profoundly abrogated chromatin-induced PS-specific IgG secretion by lupus B1a cells.Thus,our study has demonstrated that the anti-PS autoantibodies produced by B1 cells contribute to lupus nephritis development.Our findings that blockade of the TLR/Syk signaling cascade inhibits PS-specific B1-cell expansion provide new insights into lupus pathogenesis and may facilitate the development of novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of LN in SLE.
