Lupus exacerbation in ovalbumin-induced asthma in Fc gamma receptor IIb deficient mice, partly due to hyperfunction of dendritic cells

BACKGROUND: Although allergy might be another factor that exacerbates lupus as demonstrated by several epidemiologic studies, the direct correlation between lupus activities and allergy is still in question.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between allergic reaction and lupus activities.

METHODS: The allergic asthma model using ovalbumin (OVA) administration in wildtype (WT) and Fc gamma receptor IIb deficient (FcgRIIb-/-) mice (a lupus-prone model) together with in vitro experiments on bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) were performed.

RESULTS: At 2-weeks-post OVA, both WT and FcgRIIb-/- mice demonstrated similar allergic reaction as indicated by an elevation of IgE and IL-4 in serum with asthma-liked lung histology (lung weight, inflammatory score, and bronchial thickness) with increased spleen weight. Apoptosis in the lungs and spleens (activated caspase 3 immunohistochemistry) was detected only in OVA-administered FcgRIIb-/- mice. Surprisingly, OVA-administered FcgRIIb-/- mice, demonstrated active lupus nephritis, as indicated by anti-dsDNA, proteinuria, and renal immune complex deposition (immunohistochemistry analysis) implying an impact of allergy on lupus activities. Meanwhile, serum creatinine and gut permeability defect (FitC-dextran assay and endotoxemia) were not different between the FcgRIIb-/- mice with OVA versus with control. In parallel, FcgRIIb-/- DCs were more susceptible to activations by OVA and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) than WT DCs as demonstrated by CD80 with major histocompatibility complex II (MHC II) using flow cytometry analysis.

CONCLUSION: OVA-induced allergy in FcgRIIb-/- mice exacerbated lupus activity, possibly due to hyper-responsiveness of FcgRIIb-/- DCs over WT from the loss of inhibitory FcgRIIb. The proper control of allergy might be beneficial for lupus.
