Monocytosis in the BXSB model for systemic lupus erythematosus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autoimmunity in BXSB mice is associated with a progressive increase in the number of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). This is due to a marked rise in circulating monocytes, identified by: (a) their appearance on light and electron microscopy; (b) their surface antigenic characteristics; (c) their expression of Fc receptors; and (d) their capacity for phagocytosis. Among murine models for systemic lupus erythematosus, only the BXSB strain is characterized by monocytosis, suggesting that cells of monocytic lineage may contribute significantly to the pathogenesis of autoimmune disease in BXSB mice.

The accelerated development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in BXSB male mice is associated with the presence of the Y-linked autoimmune acceleration (Yaa) mutation, which induces an age-dependent monocytosis. Using a cohort of C57BL/6 (B6) ؋ (NZB ؋ B6)F 1 backcross male mice bearing the Yaa mutation, we defined the pathogenic role and genetic basis for Yaa-associated monocytosis. We obse...

Interleukin 21 (IL-21) is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by CD4 T cells that affects the differentiation and function of T, B, and NK cells by binding to a receptor consisting of the common cytokine receptor gamma chain and the IL-21 receptor (IL-21R). IL-21, a product associated with IL-17-producing CD4 T cells (T(H)17) and follicular CD4 T helper cells (T(FH)), has been implicated in autoimm...

متن کامل[Fcγ receptor and systemic autoimmune disease].
The systemic autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by the deposition of immune complexes in multiple organs. Fcγ receptors (FcγR) recognize the Fc portion of IgG and are important in determining the response of leukocytes to deposited immune complexes. FcγR also provide positive and negative regulation of immune cell responses. The activatory FcγR includ...
متن کاملEvidence for genes in addition to Tlr7 in the Yaa translocation linked with acceleration of systemic lupus erythematosus.
The accelerated development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in male BXSB mice is associated with the genetic abnormality in its Y chromosome, designated Yaa (Y-linked autoimmune acceleration). Recently, the Yaa mutation was identified to be a translocation from the telomeric end of the X chromosome (containing the gene encoding TLR7) onto the Y chromosome. In the present study, we determi...
