Because the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis of lymphoid cells can be induced through P2X(7), we decided to study its expression, function (apoptosis, shedding of CD62L and synthesis of IL-1 beta induced by ATP) and genetic polymorphisms (1513 AC and 762 T/C) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 101 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 122 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 90 healthy controls. We found no significant differences in the distribution of 1513 and -762 genotypes of P2X(7) gene in SLE or RA patients compared with healthy controls. However, a diminished induction of apoptosis of CD4(+) T lymphocytes and monocytes was observed in SLE patients with the 1513 AC genotype, and the release of IL-1 beta upon stimulation with ATP was significantly decreased in SLE patients. In contrast, in RA patients we detected that the release of IL-1 beta was increased. In addition, in patients with SLE and RA the SNPs 1513 AC was associated with a low expression of P2X(7). These results suggest a possible involvement of P2X(7) in the pathogenesis of inflammatory autoimmune diseases. (C) 2010 American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics.
