C1q and MBL, components of the innate immune system, influence monocyte cytokine expression

Abstract

It has recently been recognized that the innate immune response, the powerful first response to infection, has significant influence in determining the nature of the subsequent adaptive immune response. C1q, mannose-binding lectin (MBL), and other members of the defense collagen family of proteins are pattern recognition molecules, able to enhance the phagocytosis of pathogens, cellular debris, and apoptotic cells in vitro and in vivo. Humans deficient in C1q inevitably develop a lupus-like autoimmune disorder, and studies in C1q knockout mice demonstrate a deficiency in the clearance of apoptotic cells with a propensity for autoimmune responses. The data presented here show that under conditions in which phagocytosis is enhanced, C1q and MBL modulate cytokine production at the mRNA and protein levels. Specifically, these recognition molecules of the innate immune system contribute signals to human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, leading to the suppression of lipopolysaccharide-induced proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin (IL)-1alpha and IL-1beta, and an increase in the secretion of cytokines IL-10, IL-1 receptor antagonist, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and IL-6. These data support the hypothesis that defense colla...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
