Type I interferon in systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases Banchereau J; Pascual VImmunity 2006[Sep]; 25 (3): 383-92Different genetic alterations may lead to type I interferon (IFN) overproduction in human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The increased bioavailability of type I IFN contributes to peripheral tolerance breakdown through the activation of immature myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs). IFN-matured mDCs activate autoreactive T cells. These cells, together with plasmacytoid DCs, help expand autoreactive B cells. IFN-matured DCs also activate cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, possibly increasing apoptotic cell availability. The capture of apoptotic cells by mDCs and of nucleic acid-containing immune complexes by plasmacytoid DCs and B cells amplifies the autoimmune reaction leading to disease manifestations. Genetic alterations in lineages other than B cells might explain other autoimmune syndromes where type I IFNs appear to be involved.|Animals[MESH]|Disease Models, Animal[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Interferon Type I/*physiology[MESH]|Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic/*immunology/*metabolism/pathology[MESH]|Syndrome[MESH] |
