TY - JOUR. T1 - Definition of human autoimmunity - autoantibodies versus autoimmune disease. AU - Lleo, Ana. AU - Invernizzi, Pietro. AU - Gao, Bin. AU - Podda, Mauro. AU - Gershwin, M. Eric. PY - 2010/3. Y1 - 2010/3. N2 - The critical function of the immune system is to discriminate self from non-self. Tolerance against self-antigens is a highly regulated process and, in order to maintain it, the immune system must be able to distinguish self-reactive lymphocytes as they develop. The presence of autoantibodies is the consequence of breakdown of tolerance and, although they are an important serological feature of autoimmune diseases, their presence is not exclusive of these conditions. Antibodies against self-antigens are also found in cancer, during massive tissue damage and even in healthy subjects. Natural autoantibodies provide immediate protection against infection and also prevent inflammation by facilitating the clearance of oxidized lipids, oxidized proteins, and apoptotic cells; their ...

Autoimmunity can begin long before damage is bad enough for a disease to be diagnosed. Many people can go years, decades, or even an entire lifetime with symptoms but never have damage bad enough to be labeled disease.. Another example is autoimmunity against the pancreas can cause blood sugar issues long before the development of type 1 diabetes. Additionally, about 10 percent of people with type 2 diabetes, which is caused by diet and lifestyle, also have pancreatic autoimmunity. This is called type 1.5 diabetes.. One of the most common autoimmune diseases is Hashimotos hypothyroidism. Patients may need to gradually increase their thyroid hormone because although they were diagnosed with low thyroid, the autoimmunity was overlooked and left unmanaged.. Or a patient may have an autoimmune reaction that has not been recognized as a disease. For instance, autoimmunity to nerve cells may produce symptoms similar to multiple sclerosis (MS), which is an autoimmune reaction to nerve sheathes. ...

N1 - Cited By :4 Export Date: 26 December 2018 Correspondence Address: Duan-Porter, W.D.. PY - 2005. Y1 - 2005. N2 - The increasing recognition that cancer is frequently associated with an autoantibody response, and observations that systemic autoimmunity is sometimes associated with the diagnosis of a variety of malignancies (many detected near the onset of autoimmune disease), strongly underscore a potential mechanistic connection between cancer immunity and systemic autoimmunity. Accumulating data suggest that autoantigens are critical partners in driving the autoimmune response. Furthermore, unique changes in antigen expression and conformation in the immunizing tumor and the target tissue may play a role in antigen selection and ongoing damage. This construct has important implications for diagnosis, monitoring, and ...

Although high expression of most B7 family members is largely restricted to immune cells, especially APCs, we were not able to detect protein expression of B7x in any cell type of hematopoietic origin. This strongly suggested that B7x does not play a role in regulating T cell priming in the lymphoid organs. However, histological staining of pancreatic sections demonstrated constitutive expression of B7x in the islets of Langerhans, indicating that this inhibitory molecule may have a role in maintaining peripheral tolerance to islet-reactive T cells. It has already been shown that PD-L1, another member of the B7 family, plays an important role in preventing diabetes by inhibiting islet-reactive T cells (Ansari et al., 2003). Although PD-L1 has been reported to be expressed at very low levels (Liang et al., 2003) or absent (Ansari et al., 2003) in naive pancreata, its expression is up-regulated in an age-dependent manner in NOD mice. Using bone marrow chimeras, it was shown that PD-L1 expression ...

Understanding the mode of action of genes influencing the development of type 1 diabetes requires knowledge as to whether genes influence the development of islet autoimmunity and/or progression from autoimmunity to diabetes. Here we have examined association in a cohort of genetically at-risk children who were followed from birth for both development of islet autoantibodies and diabetes. An association of the IFIH1 gene with diabetes development in this cohort allowed us to determine at what stage the gene is likely to influence diabetes development. Unlike HLA class II genes, which strongly influence the risk for developing islet autoantibodies (5-7), association of the IFIH1 gene was restricted to the progression to diabetes after development of islet autoimmunity. In view of the involvement of the IFIH1 gene in responses to virus infection (16,17), the findings are consistent with a role of infection in determining the progression to diabetes after islet autoimmunity has been ...

A better understanding of the molecules involved in immune responses has identified many potential targets for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. But although successful therapies have been found for immune disorders in animal studies, few have passed the much harder test of treating human diseases. So far, non-antigen-specific approaches, such as the blocking of tumour-necrosis factor, are achieving some success but the same is not true for antigen-specific approaches. Future therapies will probably include both non-antigen-specific strategies that target cytokines (cell-cell signalling molecules) or block the molecules that stimulate immune responses, and antigen-specific therapies that induce tolerance to self antigens.

Systemic autoimmunity is thought to result from a mix of genetics, environmental factors and stochastic events [6]. Given the multitude of susceptibility genes, symptoms and immunological abnormalities, it is clear that numerous pathogenic pathways contribute to systemic autoimmune disease [5, 11, 12]. A major thrust of systemic autoimmunity research has centered on elucidation of abnormalities in the adaptive immune response [13, 14]. However more recent research has identified the innate immune response as a major player in the initiation and expansion of systemic autoimmune pathology [4, 5, 9, 15, 16].. The current paradigm for the disease process of idiopathic systemic lupus-like autoimmunity argues for a central role of type I IFN [15, 17, 18]. This is based on the early observation of increased expression of IFN-α inducible genes (or IFN signature) in the peripheral blood cells of patients with SLE [17]. The type I IFN signature is found in 60% to 70% of patients with SLE, ...

Curing type 1 diabetes by islet transplantation requires overcoming both allorejection and recurrent autoimmunity. This has been achieved with systemic immunosuppression, but tolerance induction would be preferable. Most islet allotransplant tolerance induction protocols have been tested in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, and most have failed. Failure has been attributed to the underlying autoimmunity, assuming that autoimmunity and resistance to transplantation tolerance have a common basis. Out of concern that NOD biology could be misleading in this regard, we tested the hypothesis that autoimmunity and resistance to transplantation tolerance in NOD mice are distinct phenotypes. Unexpectedly, we observed that (NOD x C57BL/6)F(1) mice, which have no diabetes, nonetheless resist prolongation of skin allografts by costimulation blockade. Further analyses revealed that the F(1) mice shared the dendritic cell maturation defects and abnormal CD4(+) T cell responses of the NOD but had lost its defects in

Some people seem to be under the belief that autoimmune conditions such as type-1 diabetes develop as a result of bad genes. This idea has little evolutionary support…. Theres no doubt that genetics do play a role in the etiology of autoimmunity; however, in most cases, its unlikely to be the primary factor involved. This statement is supported by the fact that the prevalence of autoimmune disease has increased markedly over the past centuries, despite the fact that our genes have changed very little over the same time period. Moreover, its supported by the finding that autoimmune diseases are very rare among hunter-gatherers and other traditional groups of people who live in environments that bear resemblance to the Paleolithic environments in which more than 99% of the evolutionary history of our genus Homo took place (1, 2, 3).. When we think about it, it isnt surprising that foragers rarely develop autoimmunity, given that a persons ability to survive and reproduce in a natural ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Cytokines and autoimmunity. T2 - Redundancy defines their complex nature. AU - Yadav, Deepak. AU - Sarvetnick, Nora. PY - 2003/12. Y1 - 2003/12. N2 - Cytokines are critical mediators in autoimmunity and a better understanding of their mode of action should contribute to the development of strategies for controlling harmful autoimmune reactions. Their complicated nature makes it difficult to classify them as pro- or anti-inflammatory mediators; redundancy in their mode of action has been widely reported. Their complexity is further exemplified by the fact that several cytokines display redundancy in their receptor usage, with the recently identified IL-12 and IL-10 families being prototypical examples. Several aspects - including kinetics of expression, mode of induction, regulation of receptor expression and competition for occupancy, and the stage (acute vs chronic) of the disease - are critical to the net effect, and all these aspects need to be understood if we are to define a ...

Recent evidences suggest that human gut microbiota with major component as bacteria can induce immunity. It is also known that gut lining depletes with ageing and that there is increased risk of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders with ageing. It is therefore likely that both may be correlated as depletion of gut lining exposes the gut bacterial antigens to host immune mechanisms, which may induce immunity to certain bacterial proteins, but at the same time such immunity may also be auto-immunogenic to host. This autoimmunity may make a protein molecule nonfunctional and thereby may be involved in late onset metabolic, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders such as, Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hyperlipidemias and Cancer. In this in-silico study we found a large number of peptides identical between human and gut bacteria which were binding to HLA-II alleles, and hence, likely to be auto-immunogenic. Further we observed that such autoimmune candidates were enriched in bacterial species belonging to

Overall, grade 3 or higher IRAEs developed in 10 of 23 patients following combination therapy, in 1 of 8 patients following anti-CTLA4 therapy, and in 1 of 8 patients following anti-PD1 therapy. The finding that CCB leads to higher rates of IRAEs as well as significant and distinct changes in B cells, including a decline in circulating B cells as well as an increase in CD21lo B cells and plasmablasts, led us to evaluate the correlation between these changes and the development of autoimmunity. Interestingly, the severity of an early decline in B cell numbers after therapy directly correlated with the time to onset of toxicity (Figure 3B; P = 0.007) as well as the grade of maximal toxicity (Figure 3C). The ability to identify patients at increased risk for developing autoimmunity is critical for the application of CCB. We developed a parameter for B cell changes following combination therapy by integrating the decline in B cell numbers (fold change after therapy, ≤70% of baseline) with a 2-fold ...

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks and destroys the organs and tissues of its own host. Autoimmunity is the third most common type of disease in the United States. Because there is no cure for autoimmunity, it is extremely important to study the mechanisms that trigger these diseases. Most autoimmune diseases predominantly affect females, indicating a strong sex bias. Various factors, including sex hormones, the presence or absence of a second X chromosome, and sex-specific gut microbiota can influence gene expression in a sex-specific way. These changes in gene expression may, in turn, lead to susceptibility or protection from autoimmunity, creating a sex bias for autoimmune diseases. In this Review we discuss recent findings in the field of sex-dependent regulation of gene expression and autoimmunity.. ...

Increasing evidence suggests that islet autoimmunity also targets neoepitopes expressed by the target cells, which may not be available for negative thymic selection. Differential expression of IA-2 and IGRP mRNAs in thymus and pancreas (157, 158) may promote autoimmunity, as the immune system may not be tolerant to alternatively spliced variants expressed in pancreas but not thymus (159). Many autoantigens in autoimmune disease are post-translationally modified (PTM) (160). Inflammation and stress are likely factors in the generation of PTM antigens, which derive from both normal and abnormal processes in cells. Predisposing HLA types are critical for the presentation of these epitopes to T cells (161, 162). Below, the major neoepitope classes associated with T1D are described.. Neoepitopes generated by PTM. A PTM epitope exists in the insulin A chain (A1-A13): T cell recognition requires oxidized cysteine residues at A6 and A7, with the formation of a vicinal disulfide bond between them (60). ...

Dear Immunonetters, I would like to bring another player into the Self/non-self discrimination arena. That Being the effect of Anergic T-cells on other autoreactive T-cells.This concept has been discussed in the papers by Lasalle and Hafler ( FASEB J. 8:601-608 1994) and Lombardi et al ( science 264:1587 1994). I agree with the authors that the Anergic T-cells play an important rolein self/nonself discrimination. In summary this is whats happening. The Thymus, site of clonal deletion, is very efficient in removing autoreactive T-cells. But nothing is perfect and some autoreactive cells escape this screening. These T-cells can be safely present in the periphery if the antigens they are reactive to are hidden away from them or not presented to them. This is called Clonal Ignorance. If MHC/AG is presented to the autoreactive T-cell but is not followed by costimulation, the result is Clonal anergy. In these cases the T-cells can recognize the self antigen however the extent of the response stops ...

T cell responses are essential for protection against pathogens but can also be detrimental to the host. Therefore many overlapping mechanisms exist to prevent both the development of autoimmunity and excessive tissue damage during chronic infections. T cell differentiation and effector function are shaped by the integration of different signals from the environment. These signals are orchestrated through a variety of signaling receptors including the T cell receptor, activating (co-stimulatory molecules or cytokines) and inhibitory (checkpoint) receptors. Thus, the modulation of external signals could impact on the development or function of effector and/or regulatory T (Treg) cells. In pre-clinical human or animal studies, the manipulation of T cell function has been attempted via numerous different approaches. These include (i) immune checkpoint blockade (PD-1, PD-L1, Tim3 and/or CTLA-4 among others), (ii) alterations in metabolic pathways and (iii) the utilization of biological agents such as

Combination checkpoint blockade (CCB) targeting inhibitory CTLA4 and PD1 receptors holds promise for cancer therapy. Immune-related adverse events (IRAEs) remain a major obstacle for the optimal application of CCB in cancer. Here, we analyzed B cell changes in patients with melanoma following treatment with either anti-CTLA4 or anti-PD1, or in combination. CCB therapy led to changes in circulating B cells that were detectable after the first cycle of therapy and characterized by a decline in circulating B cells and an increase in CD21lo B cells and plasmablasts. PD1 expression was higher in the CD21lo B cells, and B cell receptor sequencing of these cells demonstrated greater clonality and a higher frequency of clones compared with CD21hi cells. CCB induced proliferation in the CD21lo compartment, and single-cell RNA sequencing identified B cell activation in cells with genomic profiles of CD21lo B cells in vivo. Increased clonality of circulating B cells following CCB occurred in some patients. ...

Current Research: My main interest is mechanistic dissection of natural and induced causes that precipitate the pathological state of the immune system, called autoimmunity. Autoimmunity generally clinically manifests as a variety of organ-specific diseases such as Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), for which we have a plethora of mouse models. Progression of T1D involves the activation of autoimmune T cells, consequent honing of activated lymphocytes to the pancreatic islets, and ensuing destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. Our studies focus on determining how autoimmune T cells are initially activated during T1D pathogenesis, how they hone to the target organ, and how they destroy their beta cell targets, causing clinical onset of T1D. The main goal of the research projects in my laboratory is to design and exploit tools for the manipulation of adaptive immunity for therapeutic purposes. To achieve this goal we use a variety of genetic, molecular biological, and biochemical approaches.. ...
