Human Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy Ameliorates Lupus through Increasing CD4+ T Cell Senescence via MiR-199a-5p/Sirt1/p53 Axis

MRL/lpr mice were injected with miR-199a-5p agomir to evaluate the effects of miR-199a-5p on splenic CD4+ T cell senescence and disease in vivo.

B Cell Depletion Therapies in Autoimmune Disease: Advances and Mechanistic Insights

The authors update our understanding of B cell biology, review the results of clinical trials using B cell depletion therapies (BCDT) in autoimmune indications, discuss hypotheses for the mechanism of action of BCDT and speculate on evolving strategies for targeting B cells beyond depletion.

Functionally Impaired Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells and Non-Haematopoietic Sources of Type I Interferon Characterize Human Autoimmunity

The authors showed that in preclinical autoimmunity and established systemic lupus erythematosus, plasmacytoid dendritic cells were not effector cells, had lost capacity for Toll-like-receptor-mediated cytokine production and did not induce T cell activation.

Tissue-Resident PSGL1loCD4+ T Cells Promote B Cell Differentiation and Chronic Graft-versus-Host-Disease-Associated Autoimmunity

With murine and humanized MHC–/–HLA-A2+DR4+ murine models of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), researchers showed that both murine and human PSGL1loCD4+ T cells from GVHD target tissues have features of B cell helpers with upregulated-expression of PD1 and ICOS and production of IL-21.

IL-17 Sustains the Plasma Cell Response via p38-Mediated Bcl-XL RNA Stability in Lupus Pathogenesis

Using a humanized lupus mouse model, researchsrs showed that the transfer of Th17 cell-depleted PBMCs from lupus patients resulted in a significantly reduced plasma cell response and attenuated renal damage in recipient mice compared to the transfer of total systemic lupus erythematosus PBMCs.

Autoantibody-Dependent Amplification of Inflammation in SLE

Functional analysis indicated that one subclass of antibodies bound strongly to decondensed DNA areas in neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and protected NETs from nuclease digestion, similar to the sera from active SLE patients.

Abundance and Nuclear Antigen Reactivity of Intestinal and Fecal Immunoglobulin A in Lupus-Prone Mice at Younger Ages Correlate with the Onset of Eventual Systemic Autoimmunity

Scientists determined the abundance and the nAg reactivity of IgA antibody produced in the intestine under lupus susceptibility. Intestinal lymphoid tissues from SNF1 mice, females particularly, showed significantly higher frequencies of nAg reactive IgA producing B cells compared to B6 females.
