Intravenous IgG (ivIg) is a therapeutic alternative for lupus erythematosus, the mechanism of which remains to be fully understood. Here we investigated whether ivIg affects two established sub-phenotypes of SLE, namely relative oligoclonality of circulating T-cells and reduced activity of CD4 + Foxp3+ regulatory T-cells (Tregs) reflected by lower CD25 surface density. We conducted a longitudinal study of 15 lupus patients (14 with SLE and one with discoid LE) treated with ivIg in cycles of 2–6 consecutive ...

Several lines of evidence implicate the Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen 4 (CTLA4) gene in susceptibility to autoimmune disease. We have examined the association of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with polymorhisms within the CTLA4 gene that were previously proposed to regulate CTLA-4 function: a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in position +49 of exon 1 and a dinucleotide repeat in the 3′ untranslated region (3'UTR). The 3′UTR repeat showed a significant association with SLE, with one allele conferring ...

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by various IgG autoreactivities, among which anti-Ro/SS-A is particularly pathology-associated and early detectable. SLE also shows significant familial aggregation, but genetic factors are not well understood and remain controversial for disease-associated IgG. Here we report that IgM anti-Ro showed a uniquely high degree of heritability in a study of SLE-affected families. Unlike IgM anti-La or anti-dsDNA, IgM anti-Ro was also significantly correlated ...

We studied the distribution of peripheral B-cell subsets in patients deficient for key factors of the TLR-signaling pathways (MyD88, TIRAP/MAL, IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 [IRAK-4], TLR3, UNC-93B, TRIF). All TLRs, except TLR3, which signals through the TRIF adaptor, require MyD88 and IRAK-4 to mediate their function. TLR4 and the TLR2 heterodimers (with TLR1, TLR6, and possibly TLR10) require in addition the adaptor TIRAP, whereas UNC-93B is needed for the proper localization of intracellular ...
