The complement system and human autoimmune diseases

Samantha L. Coss et al.

Summary: Genetic deficiencies of early components of the classical complement activation pathway, such as C1q, r, s, and C4, play a significant role in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, their prevalence is rare, while isotype genetic deficiencies of C4A and acquired deficiency of C1q by autoantibodies are more common in SLE patients. This review discusses the genetic basis of complement deficiencies in autoimmune disease, focusing on SLE and its established relationship with complement, but also touching upon other informative diseases like inflammatory arthritis and myositis.

The extrafollicular response is sufficient to drive initiation of autoimmunity and early disease hallmarks of lupus

Lasse F. Voss et al.

Summary: This study investigated the contribution of the extrafollicular pathway to the development of autoimmune diseases. The results showed that blocking the germinal center pathway did not effectively curb autoimmune progression in two mouse models. In addition, in vitro experiments showed that the loss of Bcl-6 prevented the expansion of germinal center B cells and accelerated plasma cell differentiation. Therefore, the extrafollicular pathway plays a key role in the progression of autoimmune diseases.

Increased maternofoetal transfer of antibodies in a murine model of systemic lupus erythematosus, but no immune activation and neuroimmune sequelae in offspring

Sofie Vestergaard Fonager et al.

Summary: Maternally transferred autoantibodies can negatively impact the development and health of offspring, increasing the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders. However, our findings suggest that in the BXSB/MpJ mouse model, mothers display a mild autoimmune phenotype that does not significantly impact the offspring.

B Cell Intrinsic STING Signaling Is Not Required for Autoreactive Germinal Center Participation

Kenneth Green et al.

Summary: Germinal centers (GCs) are essential for the quality of the antibody response to infections and vaccines. The cGAS-STING pathway plays a crucial role in B cell responses, impacting GC B cells and antibody production. Understanding the role of this pathway may have implications for vaccine design and autoimmune diseases.

Comparison of gamma and x-ray irradiation for myeloablation and establishment of normal and autoimmune syngeneic bone marrow chimeras

Thomas Rea Wittenborn et al.

Summary: Murine bone marrow chimeras are valuable in stem cell and immunology research; comparing Cesium-137 and 350 keV X-ray irradiation, both methods can achieve near-complete donor chimerism, with X-ray requiring lower doses. Despite some differences in donor chimerism, a similar autoimmune phenotype can be achieved using either irradiation source.
