OBJECTIVE: Increased levels of type I interferon (IFN) and type I IFN-regulated
genes are found in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and may be
central to its pathogenesis. Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) is
a key regulator of type I IFN that undergoes a dramatic prion-like aggregation
and self propagates the activation signal from viral RNA to amplify downstream
IFN production. We undertook this study to determine whether such MAVS aggregates
might play a role in the sustained increased production of type I IFN in SLE.
METHODS: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated and mitochondrial
extracts were prepared. MAVS aggregation was detected by semidenatured agarose
gel electrophoresis and confirmed by immunofluorescence staining. MAVS-associated
signaling proteins were analyzed by Western blotting. MAVS aggregation-associated
gene expression signature was analyzed by microarray. RESULTS: In blood cells
from 22 of 67 SLE patients, essentially all MAVS was in a high molecular weight
aggregated form. None of 6 rheumatoid arthritis patients and only 3 of 33 healthy
controls had abnormal MAVS. Compared to MAVS aggregate-negative patients, MAVS
aggregate-positive SLE patients had significantly higher serum levels of IFN? and
significantly increased levels of autoantibodies against Sm and U1 RNP. Gene
array data revealed a characteristic gene expression pattern in these patients,
with altered expression of genes involved in IFN signaling and membrane
trafficking. CONCLUSION: Persistent MAVS aggregates may lead to increased type I
IFN production and result in unmitigated signals leading to autoimmunity.
