Systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) is a polygenic inheritance disease. Among the integral components of SLE pathology, the signal transduction of abnormal activation of T and B cells and subsequent immune disfunction play the key roles on the pathogenesis of SLE. NF-κB is an important regulator of inflammation and apoptosis. The abnormal activation ,proliferation and fuction of B cells resulting from overactivity of NF-κB pathway are related to the occurrence and development of SLE. Studies have verified that TNFAIP3 and TNIP1 can negatively regulate NF-κB pathway. Recent GWA ,Case-contorl studies and our previous research demonstrated that TNFAIP3 and TNIP1 are the susceptible genes of SLE. In the present study, to investigate whether and how TNFAIP3 and TNIP1 affect activation,proliferation and function of B cells and activity of NF-κB pathway in cell,molecular and transcription levels, We will conduct TNFAIP3 and TNIP1 gene-transfection in SLE B cells mediated by the lentiviral expression vector,then test survival and apoptosis rates of B cells,the ratio of plasma cells to B cells,the expression levels of TNFAIP3,TNIP1,TLR7,TLR9,BCR and CD40.We will also establish TNFAIP3 and TNIP1 promoter-driven luciferase reporter gene vector to detemine the activity of promoters of these two genes.
系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)的发生发展与NF-κB信号通路过度活化所致T、B细胞异常活化以及免疫功能异常密切相关,而TNFAIP3、 TNIP1具有负性调节NF-κB信号通路的作用。近来不同地区人群GWAs和候选基因研究以及申请人前期工作已证实TNFAIP3和TNIP1为SLE易感基因,但相关基因功能研究少见报道。本研究拟采用双荧光素酶报告基因系统分别检测SLE患者TNFAIP3和TNIP1基因启动子、增强子活性,并用慢病毒表达系统转染SLE患者及正常人B细胞后测定TNFAIP3和TNIP1 mRNA水平,同时测定B细胞表型,存活和凋亡率,浆细胞比值,NF-κB活性,各种表面活性信号分子及狼疮"血清标志物"水平,分别从转录调控,基因表达和细胞、分子水平探讨TNFAIP3和TNIP1基因通过何种机制影响SLE患者B细胞活化、增殖、分化、存活和凋亡,以及对核因子信号转导系统活性及各组分的作用机制。
