Lay Summary (German)

Lead
Primäre Immundefizienzen sind genetisch determinierte Erkrankungen des Menschen, welche einer Infektneigung zugrundeliegen koennen. Da ein normal arbeitendes Immunsystem auch für eine Toleranz gegen eigenes Körpergewebe notwendig ist, kann sich eine Immundefizienz auch als Autoimmunität (Immunantwort gegen Selbst) äussern.
Lay summary

Ziel dieses Forschungsprojektes ist es, mehr über die Zusammenhänge zwischen primärer Immundefizienz und Autoimmunität heraus zu finden.

 

Ziele des Forschungsprojektes:

Fü diese Fragestellung verwenden wir Mausmodelle, die durch eine mehr oder weniger gravierende (graduelle) genetische Störung im RAG (Recombination Activating Gene) Gen eine mehr oder schwerwiegende Störung der Lymphozytenproduktion  aufweisen.

 

1. Wir beobachten autoimmunologische Reaktionen bei Mäusen mit graduell reduzierter RAG Funktion.

2. Parallel dazu testen wir experimentell die Fähigkeit dieser Mäuse, verschiedene Viruserreger zu eliminieren.

3. Wir beobachten, ob Persistenz eines infektiösen Erregers in Mäusen mit graduell reduzierter RAG Funktion Autoimmunphänomene beeinflusst, oder deren Auftreten gar erst induziert.

 

Wissenschaftlicher Kontext:

Autoimmunerkrankungen beim Menschen sind häufig und deren Ursache(n) im klinischen Alltag bleiben oft ungeklärt. Dieses Forschungsprojekt soll dazu beitragen, eine allfällig zugrunde liegende Immundefizienz bei Patienten mit Autoimmunerkrankungen zu erkennen. Aus dieser Erkenntnis kann eine geeignete immunologische Therapie abgeleitet werden, um den Therapieerfolg zu erhöhen und Therapie-verursachte Komplikationen zu minimieren.

Abstract

Primary immunodeficiencies (PID) comprise more than 150 different disorders that affect the development, function -or both- of the immune system due to mutations in immune-related genes. Besides their association with infection, PID are associated with autoimmunity and immune-dysregulation. Autoimmunity is an independent risk factor of mortality in PID patients regardless of immunoglobulin replacement therapy. Since PID are monogenic diseases, the study of autoimmunity in patients or relevant mouse models represents a valuable tool to understand basic mechanisms involved in the induction of autoimmunity. Our preliminary data show that, in humans and murine models, mutations in the recombination activating genes (RAG) as a model PID may lead to different clinical entities ranging from severe combined immunodeficiency to Omenn syndrome or RAG-dependent granuloma that are defined by autoinflammation and autoimmunity, based on the functional severity of the RAG mutation. Using gradual impairment of RAG function in murine models, the here proposed work will address whether and how immunodeficiency and autoimmunity are interlinked. The results of our studies will help to understand which aspects of PID-related autoimmunity are mediated by B vs. T lymphocytes, and what mediators are involved. This may eventually impact the clinical treatment of autoimmunity. The work proposed will also show how infection influences autoimmunity in the setting of PID.
