Systemic autoinflammatory diseases are driven by abnormal activation of innate
immunity. Herein we describe a new disease caused by high-penetrance heterozygous
germline mutations in TNFAIP3, which encodes the NF-?B regulatory protein A20, in
six unrelated families with early-onset systemic inflammation. The disorder
resembles Behçet's disease, which is typically considered a polygenic disorder
with onset in early adulthood. A20 is a potent inhibitor of the NF-?B signaling
pathway. Mutant, truncated A20 proteins are likely to act through
haploinsufficiency because they do not exert a dominant-negative effect in
overexpression experiments. Patient-derived cells show increased degradation of
I?B? and nuclear translocation of the NF-?B p65 subunit together with increased
expression of NF-?B-mediated proinflammatory cytokines. A20 restricts NF-?B
signals via its deubiquitinase activity. In cells expressing mutant A20 protein,
there is defective removal of Lys63-linked ubiquitin from TRAF6, NEMO and RIP1
after stimulation with tumor necrosis factor (TNF). NF-?B-dependent
proinflammatory cytokines are potential therapeutic targets for the patients with
this disease.
