Cysteinyl cathepsin K (CatK) is expressed in osteoclasts to mediate bone
resorption, but is also inducible under inflammatory conditions. Fas(lpr) mice on
a C57BL/6 background develop spontaneous systemic lupus erythematosus-like
manifestations. Although normal mouse kidneys expressed negligible CatK, those
from Fas(lpr) mice showed elevated CatK expression in the glomeruli and
tubulointerstitial space. Fas(lpr) mice also showed elevated serum CatK levels.
CatK deficiency in Fas(lpr) mice reduced all tested kidney pathologies, including
glomerulus and tubulointerstitial scores, glomerulus complement C3 and IgG
deposition, chemokine expression and macrophage infiltration, and serum
autoantibodies. CatK contributed to Fas(lpr) mouse autoimmunity and pathology in
part by its activity in TLR-7 proteolytic processing and consequent regulatory T
(Treg) cell biology. Elevated TLR7 expression and proteolytic processing in
Fas(lpr) mouse kidneys and Tregs showed significantly reduced levels in
CatK-deficient mice, leading to increased spleen and kidney Treg content.
Purified CD4(+)CD25(high)Foxp3(+) Tregs from CatK-deficient mice doubled their
immunosuppressive activity against T effector cells, compared with those from
CatK-sufficient mice. In Fas(lpr) mice, repopulation of purified Tregs from
CatK-sufficient mice reduced spleen sizes, autoantibody titers, and glomerulus C3
and IgG deposition, and increased splenic and kidney Treg contents. Tregs from
CatK-deficient mice had significantly more potency than CatK-sufficient Tregs in
reducing spleen sizes, serum autoantibody titers, and glomerulus C3 deposition,
and in increasing splenic and kidney Treg content. This study established a
possible role of CatK in TLR7 proteolytic activation, Treg immunosuppressive
activity, and lupus autoimmunity and pathology.
