Lessons learned from anti-CD40L treatment in systemic lupus erythematosus patients

Lupus
P I Sidiropoulos, Dimitrios T Boumpas

Abstract

The CD40-CD40L system has pleiotropic effects in a variety of cells and biological processes including immune response, thrombosis and atherogenesis. Within the immune system, these molecules represent a critical link between its humoral and cellular arms. As a result of these attributes and based on preclinical data in animals, anti-CD40L antibodies were tested in a variety of immunologic diseases including idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus and transplantation. Phase I/II studies in humans with lupus nephritis demonstrated reduction of anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies but not of protective antibodies. Reduction of anti-DNA was associated with increased serum complement levels and reduced glomerular inflammation. As a result of thrombotic effects, observed even in patients negative for anti-cardiolipin antibodies, there is a temporary halt on further human studies. The reasons for the prothrombotic effects are not clear at present but may represent effects on platelets and/or the endothelium. In view of the significant immunomodulatory effects of anti-CD40L treatment in patients with lupus nephritis, the increasing realization of the importance of prema...Continue Reading
