    Abstract

    Systemic lupus erythematosus is characterized by the production of autoantibodies directed against nuclear Ags, including nucleosome and DNA. TLR9 is thought to play a role in the production of these autoantibodies through the capacity of nuclear immunogenic particles to interact both with BCR and TLR9. To determine the role of TLR9 in SLE, C57BL/6-lpr/lpr-TLR9(-/-) and TLR9(+/+) mice were analyzed. The abrogation of TLR9 totally impaired the production of anti-nucleosome Abs, whereas no difference was observed in the frequency of anti-dsDNA autoantibodies whose titer was strikingly higher in TLR9(-/-) mice. In addition a higher rate of mesangial proliferation was observed in the kidney of TLR9-deficient animals. These results indicate that in C57BL/6-lpr/lpr mice, TLR9 is absolutely required for the anti-nucleosome Ab response but not for anti-dsDNA Ab production which is involved in mesangial proliferation.
