Abstract
Activation-induced deaminase (AID) is a prerequisite for immunoglobulin (Ig) class-switch recombination and somatic hypermutation, which is critical for antibody affinity maturation. IgM and IgG autoantibodies are characteristic of the systemic autoimmune disorders such as lupus. However, the relative contributions of hypermutated high-affinity IgG antibodies and germline-encoded IgM antibodies to systemic autoimmunity are not defined fully. The role of AID in autoimmunity is unclear. The current study used AID-deficient mice to investigate the role of AID in the development and pathogenesis of murine lupus. C57BL/6 mice deficient in both Fas and AID were generated. Compared to their AID-competent littermates, AID(-/-) lymphoproliferative (lpr) mice produced significantly elevated levels of IgM autoreactive antibodies with enhanced germinal centre (GC) response, developed more advanced splenomegaly and exhibited more severe glomerulonephritis. Thus, AID may play an important role in the negative regulation of systemic autoimmune manifestations in murine lupus. The results also indicate that hypermutated high-affinity IgG antibodies are not necessary for the development of autoimmune syndrome in lpr mice on a C57BL/6 background.
