Cerebellar dysfunction can be associated with ataxia, dysarthria, dysmetria, nystagmus and cognitive deficits. While cerebellar dysfunction can be caused by vascular, traumatic, metabolic, genetic, inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic events, the cerebellum is also a frequent target of autoimmune attacks. The underlying cause for this vulnerability is unclear, but it may be a result of region-specific differences in blood–brain barrier permeability, the high concentration of neurons in the cerebellum and the presence of autoantigens on Purkinje cells. An autoimmune response targeting the cerebellum—or any structure in the CNS—is typically accompanied by an influx of peripheral immune cells to the brain. Under healthy conditions, the brain is protected from the periphery by the blood–brain barrier, blood–CSF barrier, and blood–leptomeningeal barrier. Entry of immune cells to the brain for immune surveillance occurs only at the blood-CSF barrier and is strictly controlled. A breakdown in the barrier permeability allows peripheral immune cells uncontrolled access to the CNS. Often—particularly in infectious diseases—the autoimmune response develops because of molecular mimicry between the trigger and a host protein. In this review, we discuss the immune surveillance of the CNS in health and disease and also discuss specific examples of autoimmunity affecting the cerebellum.

Abstract In autoimmune rheumatic diseases, immune hyperactivity and chronic inflammation associate with immune dysregulation and the breakdown of immune self-tolerance. A continued, unresolved imbalance between effector and regulatory immune responses further exacerbates inflammation that ultimately causes tissue and organ damage. Many treatment modalities have been developed to restore the immune tolerance and immmunoregulatory balance in autoimmune rheumatic diseases, including the use of peptide-based therapeutics or the use of nanoparticles-based nanotechnology. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art therapeutic use of peptide-based therapies in autoimmune rheumatic diseases, with a specific focus on lupus.

Dendritic cells (DC) play an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease with multiple tissue manifestations. In this review, we summarize recent studies on the roles of conventional DC and plasmacytoid DC in the development of both murine lupus and human SLE. In the past decade, studies using selective DC depletions have demonstrated critical roles of DC in lupus progression. Comprehensivein vitroandin vivostudies suggest activation of DC by self-antigens in lupus pathogenesis, followed by breakdown of immune tolerance to self. Potential treatment strategies targeting DC have been developed. However, many questions remain regarding the mechanisms by which DC modulate lupus pathogenesis that require further investigations.

Autoimmune diseases (ADs) arise when the immune system erroneously attacks self-tissues, often due to a breakdown in selftolerance. These conditions, influenced by genetic and environmental factors, are increasingly linked to bacterial infections as significant triggers. A healthy immune system protects the body against infections. However, when the immune system malfunctions, it attacks healthy cells, tissues, and organs of the body. This malfunction or dysfunction is called autoimmune disease and can affect any part of the body, impairing psychological function and potentially becoming fatal. This review explores how bacterial pathogens such as Helicobacter pylori, Campylobacter jejuni, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis contribute to autoimmunity through mechanisms like molecular mimicry, bystander activation, and epitope spreading. These processes provoke cross-reactive immune responses, amplify immune dysregulation, and exacerbate tissue damage. Epidemiological and experimental studies reveal strong associations between bacterial infections and diseases like Guillain-Barré syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and sarcoidosis. By analyzing the interactions between these pathogens and immune mechanisms, the review highlights the pivotal role of bacteria in disrupting immune tolerance and driving autoimmune disease progression. Moreover, therapeutic strategies such as antibiotics, immunomodulators, and vaccines targeting bacterial-induced autoimmunity offer promising avenues for prevention and treatment. Understanding the mechanisms of bacterial action provides valuable insights into the development of effective diagnostics, preventive measures, and therapies. This review emphasizes the need for continued research on bacterial pathogenesis in autoimmunity, particularly among genetically susceptible populations, to refine targeted clinical approaches and improve outcomes in these complex diseases.

Abstract T regulatory cells (Tregs) have a key role in the maintenance of immune homeostasis and the regulation of immune tolerance by preventing the inflammation and suppressing the autoimmune responses. Numerical and functional deficits of these cells have been reported in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and mouse models of SLE, where their imbalance and dysregulated activities have been reported to significantly influence the disease pathogenesis, progression and outcomes. Most studies in SLE have focused on CD4+ Tregs and it has become clear that a critical role in the control of immune tolerance after the breakdown of self-tolerance is provided by CD8+ Tregs. Here we review the role, cellular and molecular phenotypes, and mechanisms of action of CD8+ Tregs in SLE, including ways to induce these cells for immunotherapeutic modulation in SLE.

Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic progressive cholestatic liver disease which is characterized by the breakdown of self-tolerance to the highly conserved pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, specially the pyruvate dehydrogenase E2 complex (PDC-E2). The breakdown of the tolerance to such antigens leads to an autoimmune process characterized by portal inflammation and immune-mediated destruction of the intrahepatic bile ducts. Epidemiological studies have suggested that infections agents can trigger or even exacerbate the disease. Among other gram negative bacteria,Escherichia Coli, andNosphingobium aromaticivoransare the most associated agents reported hitherto. Epidemiological and molecular evidence points towards molecular mimicry between some components of these microorganisms and specific amino-acid sequences that are present in proteins on normal cells of the biliary tract. In this review, we revisit all reports suggesting that infectious agents might be associated with the autoimmune pathogenesis of PBC. We also retrieve the immune molecular mimicry mechanisms that are likely involved with the autoimmune process in PBC.

Autoimmune diseases can be triggered and modulated by various molecular and cellular characteristics. The mechanisms of autoimmunity and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases have been investigated for several decades. It is well accepted that autoimmunity is caused by dysregulated/dysfunctional immune susceptible genes and environmental factors. There are multiple physiological mechanisms that regulate and control self-reactivity, but which can also lead to tolerance breakdown when in defect. The majority of autoreactive T or B cells are eliminated during the development of central tolerance by negative selection. Regulatory cells such as Tregs (regulatory T) and MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells), and molecules such as CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen 4) and IL (interleukin) 10 (IL-10), help to eliminate autoreactive cells that escaped to the periphery in order to prevent development of autoimmunity. Knowledge of the molecular basis of immune regulation is needed to further our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of loss of tolerance in autoimmune diseases and pave the way for the development of more effective, specific, and safer therapeutic interventions.

Recent advances highlight the importance of intrinsic peripheral tolerance in the maintenance of a steady state. Peripheral tolerance is tightly regulated and any alteration in its biological process contributes to the breakdown of immune tolerance and induction of autoimmunity. Recent evidence related to T cell tolerance mechanisms inspired researchers to treat autoimmunity via modulation of tolerant checkpoints that are involved in intrinsic T-cell tolerance such as ignorance, anergy, exhaustion, and senescence. So, understanding the underlying mechanisms might present an opportunity for therapeutic intervention. Here, we primarily highlight the importance of T cell-intrinsic peripheral tolerance mechanisms and their contribution to the development of autoimmune disorders, and then briefly discuss potential strategies to normalize T cell hemostasis in autoimmunity.

Self-tolerance involves protection from self-reactive B and T cells via negative selection during differentiation, programmed cell death, and inhibition of regulatory T cells. The breakdown of immune tolerance triggers various autoimmune diseases, owing to a lack of distinction between self-antigens and non-self-antigens. Exosomes are non-particles that are approximately 50–130 nm in diameter. Extracellular vesicles can be used for in vivo cell-free transmission to enable intracellular delivery of proteins and nucleic acids, including microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs encapsulated in exosomes can regulate the molecular pathways involved in the immune response through post-transcriptional regulation. Herein, we sought to summarize and review the molecular mechanisms whereby exosomal miRNAs modulate the expression of genes involved in the immune response.

Abstract Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is characterized by the presence of antiplatelet autoantibodies as a result of loss of tolerance. CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are important for maintenance of peripheral tolerance. Decreased levels of peripheral Tregs in patients with ITP have been reported. To test whether inefficient production or reduced immunosuppressive activity of Tregs contributes to loss of tolerance in patients with chronic ITP, we investigated the frequency and function of their circulating CD4+CD25hi Tregs. We found a com-parable frequency of circulating CD4+CD25hiFoxp3+ Tregs in patients and controls (n = 16, P > .05). However, sorted CD4+CD25hi cells from patients with chronic ITP (n = 13) had a 2-fold reduction of in vitro immunosuppressive activity compared with controls (n = 10, P < .05). The impaired suppression was specific to Tregs as shown by cross-mixing experiments with T cells from controls. These data suggest that functional defects in Tregs contribute to breakdown of self-tolerance in patients with chronic ITP.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Asthma is an inflammatory reaction mediated by type 2 helper T (Th2) cells and is known to increase eosinophil levels. Our previous study showed that stress-related asthma can cause neutrophilic and eosinophilic airway inflammation by suppressing immune tolerance. However, the mechanism of stress-induced neutrophilic and eosinophilic airway inflammation remains unclear. Therefore, to elucidate the cause of neutrophilic and eosinophilic inflammation, we investigated the immune response during the induction of airway inflammation. In addition, we focused on the relationship between immune response modulation immediately after stress exposure and the development of airway inflammation. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Asthmatic mice were induced by three phases using female BALB/c mice. During the first phase, the mice were made to inhale ovalbumin (OVA) to induce immune tolerance before sensitization. Some mice were exposed to restraint stress during the induction of immune tolerance. In the second phase, the mice were sensitized with OVA/alum intraperitoneal injections. In the final phase, onset of asthma was induced through OVA exposure. Asthma development was evaluated based on airway inflammation and T-cell differentiation. Microarray and qPCR analyses were used to enumerate candidate factors to investigate the starting point of immunological modification immediately after stress exposure. Furthermore, we focused on interleukin-1β (IL-1β), which initiates these immune modifications, and performed experiments using its receptor blocker interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA). <b><i>Results:</i></b> Stress exposure during immune tolerance induction increased eosinophil and neutrophil airway infiltration. This inflammation was associated with decreased T regulatory cell levels and increased Th2 and Th17 levels in bronchial lymph node cells. Microarray and qPCR analyses showed that the initiation of Th17 differentiation might be triggered by stress exposure during tolerance induction. IL-1RA administration during stress exposure suppressed neutrophilic and eosinophilic airway inflammation via Th17 reduction and Treg increase. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Our results show that psychological stress causes both eosinophilic and neutrophilic inflammatory responses due to the breakdown of immune tolerance. Furthermore, stress-induced inflammation can be abolished using IL-1RA.

Unresponsiveness to self is maintained through two mechanisms of immune regulation: thymic-negative selection and peripheral tolerance. Although thymic-negative selection is a major mechanism to eliminate self-reactive T cells, normal mice have readily detectable populations of T cells reactive to self-proteins but do not exhibit autoimmune responses. It has been postulated that autoimmune disease results from breakdown or loss of peripheral tolerance. We present data that demonstrate that peripheral tolerance or unresponsiveness to self can be broken in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. Immunization of NOD mice (but not of conventional mice) with self-peptides caused an immune response to self-peptide with resultant autoproliferation of peripheral lymphocytes. Autoproliferation of self-reactive T cells in NOD mice resulted from the recognition and proliferation of the activated T cells to endogenously processed and presented self-antigens. This loss of self-tolerance demonstrated in vitro may well be the basis of NOD autoimmune disease in vivo.

The immune system must balance the need to maintain a diverse repertoire of lymphocytes to be able to fight infection with the need to maintain tolerance to self-proteins. The immune system places strict regulation over the ability of T cells to produce the major T cell growth factor interleukin 2 as this cytokine can influence a variety of immune outcomes. T cells require the delivery of two signals, one through the antigen receptor and a second through the costimulatory receptor CD28. The immune system uses a variety of E3 ubiquitin ligases to target signaling proteins that function downstream of the TCR and CD28 receptors. Mutations in these E3 ligases can lead to a breakdown in immune tolerance and development of autoimmunity. This paper will examine the role of a range of E3 ubiquitin ligases and signaling pathways that influence the development of T-cell effector responses and the development of organ-specific autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes.

Abstract Breakdown of immune self tolerance is speculated to cause autoimmune diseases, but most studies on tolerance use foreign molecules as targets. In this study, we show another approach using delivery of a maleylated self protein to macrophage-specific scavenger receptors. Mice generate Abs against the maleylated form of a ubiquitous self Ag, mouse serum albumin (MSA), although native MSA is nonimmunogenic. This generation of anti-maleyl MSA Abs depends on binding of maleyl MSA to scavenger receptors in vivo, since coinjection of a serologically unrelated scavenger receptor ligand inhibits it, suggesting that the Ab response is T cell dependent. Spleen cells as well as nylon adherence-purified splenic T cells from maleyl MSA-immune mice proliferate in response to both maleyl MSA and MSA; this response is blocked by anti-MHC class II mAbs, and the autoimmune cells can recognize at least five 15-mer peptides from the MSA sequence, establishing that T cell tolerance to MSA has been broken in these mice. Maleyl MSA and MSA are recognized equally well, provided the scavenger receptor-specific delivery of maleyl MSA is blocked during stimulation in vitro, indicating that maleyl MSA-specific non-self peptides are unlikely to play a major role in the observed disruption of T cell tolerance. Thus, delivery of some self molecules to scavenger receptors may lead to disruption of immune tolerance. These results are relevant to mechanisms of immune tolerance and the etiopathogenesis of autoimmunity.

Background and ObjectivesParaneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) with anti-Yo antibodies is a cancer-related autoimmune disease directed against neural antigens expressed by tumor cells. A putative trigger of the immune tolerance breakdown is genetic alteration of Yo antigens. We aimed to identify the tumors' genetic and immune specificities involved in Yo-PCD pathogenesis.MethodsUsing clinicopathologic data, immunofluorescence (IF) imaging, and whole-transcriptome analysis, 22 breast cancers (BCs) associated with Yo-PCD were characterized in terms of oncologic characteristics, genetic alteration of Yo antigens, differential gene expression profiles, and morphofunctional specificities of their in situ antitumor immunity by comparing them with matched control BCs.ResultsYo-PCD BCs were invasive carcinoma of no special type, which early metastasized to lymph nodes. They overexpressed human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) but were hormone receptor negative. All Yo-PCD BCs carried at least 1 genetic alteration (variation or gain in copy number) on CDR2L, encoding the main Yo antigen that was found aberrantly overexpressed in Yo-PCD BCs. Analysis of the differentially expressed genes found 615 upregulated and 54 downregulated genes in Yo-PCD BCs compared with HER2-driven control BCs without PCD. Ontology enrichment analysis found significantly upregulated adaptive immune response pathways in Yo-PCD BCs. IF imaging confirmed an intense immune infiltration with an overwhelming predominance of immunoglobulin G–plasma cells.DiscussionThese data confirm the role of genetic alterations of Yo antigens in triggering the immune tolerance breakdown but also outline a specific biomolecular profile in Yo-PCD BCs, suggesting a cancer-specific pathogenesis.

Abstract The skin epithelium covers our body and serves as a vital interface with the external environment. Here, we review the context-specific interactions between immune cells and the epithelium that underlie barrier fitness and function. We highlight the mechanisms by which these two systems engage each other and how immune–epithelial interactions are tuned by microbial and inflammatory stimuli. Epithelial homeostasis relies on a delicate balance of immune surveillance and tolerance, breakdown of which results in disease. In addition to their canonical immune functions, resident and recruited immune cells also supply the epithelium with instructive signals to promote repair. Decoding the dialogue between immunity and the epithelium therefore has great potential for boosting barrier function or mitigating inflammatory epithelial diseases.

Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes are rare non-metastatic complications of cancer that have an immune-mediated aetiology. The central and peripheral nervous systems are considered to be immune-privileged sites, since the presence of the ‘blood-brain/nerve barrier’ means that antigens sequestered within the nervous system do not normally induce an immune response. Aberrant expression of a neuronal antigen by a tumour arising outside this barrier can lead to the breakdown of immune tolerance to the nervous system. However, in many cases the immune mechanisms that result in neurological dysfunction remain poorly defined. Furthermore, aberrant expression of neuronal antigens can be detected in many tumours that are not complicated by non-metastatic neurological syndromes. This review article examines current concepts in the immunopathogenesis of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes.

Immune checkpoints refer to a plethora of inhibitory pathways of the immune system that play a crucial role in maintaining self-tolerance and in tuning the duration and amplitude of physiological immune responses to minimize collateral tissue damages. The breakdown of this delicate balance leads to pathological conditions, including cancer. Indeed, tumor cells can develop multiple mechanisms to escape from immune system defense, including the activation of immune checkpoint pathways. The development of monoclonal antibodies, targeting inhibitory immune checkpoints, has provided an immense breakthrough in cancer therapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), initially developed to reverse functional exhaustion in T cells, recently emerged as important actors in natural killer (NK)-cell-based immunotherapy. Moreover, the discovery that also helper innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) express inhibitory immune checkpoints, suggests that these molecules might be targeted on ILCs, to modulate their functions in the tumor microenvironment. Recently, other strategies to achieve immune checkpoint blockade have been developed, including miRNA exploiting systems. Herein, we provide an overview of the current knowledge on inhibitory immune checkpoints on NK cells and ILCs and we discuss how to target these innate lymphocytes by ICI in both solid tumors and hematological malignancies.

Allergic diseases are chronic inflammatory disorders in which there is failure to mount effective tolerogenic immune responses to inciting allergens. The alarming rise in the prevalence of allergic diseases in recent decades has spurred investigations to elucidate the mechanisms of breakdown in tolerance in these disorders and means of restoring it. Tolerance to allergens is critically dependent on the generation of allergen-specific regulatory T (Treg) cells, which mediate a state of sustained non-responsiveness to the offending allergen. In this review, we summarize recent advances in our understanding of mechanisms governing the generation and function of allergen-specific Treg cells and their subversion in allergic diseases. We will also outline approaches to harness allergen-specific Treg cell responses to restore tolerance in these disorders.

Abstract Apoptosis in the immune system is essential for maintaining self-tolerance. Defective apoptosis causes systemic autoimmune diseases in humans and mice. However, inhibition of apoptosis in lymphocytes alone does not induce significant autoimmune responses, indicating that impaired apoptosis in other cell types plays a critical role in the breakdown of self-tolerance. To study whether apoptosis in dendritic cells (DCs) regulates self-tolerance, we generated transgenic mice expressing a potent caspase inhibitor from baculovirus, p35, in dendritic cells (DC-p35). DC-p35 transgenic mice displayed defective apoptosis in DCs, leading to DC accumulation, chronic lymphocyte activation and systemic autoimmune manifestations resembling the phenotypes in Fas-deficient lpr mice. Our results suggest that apoptosis in DCs is critical for limiting lymphocyte activation and preventing autoimmunity.

Alginate is rich in bioactive compounds and has been known to act as a stimulator on the innate immune system. The objective of this study is to determine polysaccharide and oligosaccharide alginate yield, that percentage inhibition with a different type of extraction, to evaluate growth performance as well as immune response by oxygen stress tolerance. Thermal heating with oven laboratory at 140oC for 4.5 hr was done to breakdown the polysaccharide into oligosaccharide. The extraction was conducted by maceration, filtration, precipitation, and centrifugation. Factorial design with two factors was implemented to 260 Zebrafish and reared in thirteen aquariums (20 fish per aquarium) for 12 days. Zebrafish was fed at different dose (4.0g; 6.0g; 8.0g.kg-1) and different type of extraction [noEDTA/noKCl; KCl; EDTA and (EDTAandKCl)]. The evaluation of radical scavenging activity was done spectrophotometrically at 515 nm. Results showed that the highest alginate yield either polysaccharide or oligosaccharide was gained from KCL treatments, percentage inhibition (82.61%), growth performance as well as tolerance of stress (P<0.05). The best growth performance was reached in oligosaccharide supplementation at 6.0g.kg-1 treatment. It can be concluded that alginate oliogosaccharide produced by thermal heating enhanced the antioxidant activity, boost the fish’s immune system, proofed by better growth performance and more tolerant to the low oxygen stress.

Abstract The innate immune system instructs adaptive immune activation to maintain host homeostasis, dysregulations of which underly many immune pathologies. Despite the multifold interactions, it is unclear whether innate immune responses are sufficient to enable adaptive activation and provoke disease. Breakdown of self-tolerance in T and B cells results in autoimmunity, yet innate immune control of self-reactivity is poorly understood. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) recently has emerged in autoimmune disorders. However, it is unclear how mitochondrial stress associated with inflammation skews downstream aberrant adaptive responses. Here we show circulating cell-free (ccf-) oxidized (Ox-) mtDNA, induced during NLRP3 inflammasome activation, drives antibody mediated systematic autoimmunity. Abundant ccf-Ox-mtDNA in mice triggered by persistent peritonitis leads to SLE-like pathologies, development of which specifically relies on the oxidation of mtDNA. Although non-oxidized and Ox-mtDNA are both interferogenic to induce IFN-I signaling in pDCs, only Ox-mtDNA induces caspase-1 activation and IL-21 and IL-1β production, required for Tfh responses to support antibody production, leading to GC reactions and pathogenic antibodies deposition on kidney. This study establishes Ox-mtDNA ascribed by diverse chronic inflammatory diseases as a key to engage self-tolerance breach, highlights the innate immune origins of autoimmunity, and provides therapeutic targets for autoimmune disorders.

Severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection during early life has been linked to gut dysbiosis, which correlates with increased disease severity and a higher risk of developing asthma later in life. However, the impact of such early-life RSV infections on intestinal immunity in adulthood remains unclear. Herein, we show that RSV infection in 3-week-old mice induced persistent differential natural killer (NK) and T cell profiles within the lungs and gastrointestinal (GI) lymphoid tissues (GALT) in adulthood. Notably, male mice exhibited more pronounced RSV-induced changes in immune cell populations in both the lungs and GALT, while female mice displayed greater resilience. Importantly, early-life RSV infection was associated with the chronic downregulation of CD69-expressing T lymphocytes, particularly T regulatory cells in Peyer’s patches, which could have a significant impact on T cell functionality and immune tolerance. We propose that RSV infection in early life is a trigger for the breakdown in immune tolerance at mucosal surfaces, with potential implications for airways allergic disease, food allergies, and other GI inflammatory diseases.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease characterized by self-immune tolerance breakdown and the production of autoantibodies, causing the deposition of immune complexes and triggering inflammation and immune-mediated damage. SLE pathogenesis involves genetic predisposition and a combination of environmental factors. Clinical manifestations are variable, making an early diagnosis challenging. Heat shock proteins (Hsps), belonging to the chaperone system, interact with the immune system, acting as pro-inflammatory factors, autoantigens, as well as immune tolerance promoters. Increased levels of some Hsps and the production of autoantibodies against them are correlated with SLE onset and progression. The production of these autoantibodies has been attributed to molecular mimicry, occurring upon viral and bacterial infections, since they are evolutionary highly conserved. Gut microbiota dysbiosis has been associated with the occurrence and severity of SLE. Numerous findings suggest that proteins and metabolites of commensal bacteria can mimic autoantigens, inducing autoimmunity, because of molecular mimicry. Here, we propose that shared epitopes between human Hsps and those of gut commensal bacteria cause the production of anti-Hsp autoantibodies that cross-react with human molecules, contributing to SLE pathogenesis. Thus, the involvement of the chaperone system, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and molecular mimicry in SLE ought to be coordinately studied.

Before being able to react against infectious non-self-antigens, the immune system has to be educated in the recognition and tolerance of neuroendocrine proteins, and this critical process essentially takes place in the thymus. The development of the autoimmune diabetogenic response results from a thymus dysfunction in programming central self-tolerance to pancreatic insulin-secreting isletβcells, leading to the breakdown of immune homeostasis with an enrichment of isletβcell reactive effector T cells and a deficiency ofβcell-specific natural regulatory T cells (nTreg) in the peripheral T-lymphocyte repertoire. Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) is the dominant member of the insulin family expressed during fetal life by the thymic epithelium under the control of the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene/protein. Based on the close homology and cross-tolerance between insulin, the primary T1D autoantigen, and IGF-2, the dominant self-antigen of the insulin family, a novel type of vaccination, so-called “negative/tolerogenic self-vaccination”, is currently developed for prevention and cure of T1D. If this approach were found to be effective for reprogramming immunological tolerance in T1D, it could pave the way for the design of negative self-vaccines against autoimmune endocrine diseases, as well as other organ-specific autoimmune diseases.

A hallmark of sera from patients with systemic rheumatic diseases is the presence of circulating autoantibodies directed against nuclear antigens. The identification of the antigens binding to these antibodies has provided the cell biologist and the immunologist with important tools to study cell structure, cell function, and the processes underlying the immune response. Through the elucidation of autoantibody specificities, the clinician has been provided with a better appreciation of the diagnostic and prognostic significance of autoantibodies. Many autoantigens, including those directed against components in the nuclear matrix, chromosomes, Golgi apparatus, and other intracellular antigens, are not yet characterized nor is their clinical significance established. The mechanisms leading to the breakdown of tolerance and the appearance of autoantibodies are not fully understood. Molecular mimicry at an interspecies or an intracellular level may be involved in altering immune tolerance. On the other hand, studies of epitopes on human autoantigens has provided compelling evidence that most autoantibody responses seen in systemic rheumatic diseases are driven by endogenous antigen.

Regulation of immune responses is critical for ensuring pathogen clearance and for preventing reaction against self-antigens. Failure or breakdown of immunological tolerance results in autoimmunity. CD28 is an important co-stimulatory receptor expressed on T cells that, upon specific ligand binding, delivers signals essential for full T-cell activation and for the development and homeostasis of suppressive regulatory T cells. Many in vivo mouse models have been used for understanding the role of CD28 in the maintenance of immune homeostasis, thus leading to the development of CD28 signaling modulators that have been approved for the treatment of some autoimmune diseases. Despite all of this progress, a deeper understanding of the differences between the mouse and human receptor is required to allow a safe translation of pre-clinical studies in efficient therapies. In this review, we discuss the role of CD28 in tolerance and autoimmunity and the clinical efficacy of drugs that block or enhance CD28 signaling, by highlighting the success and failure of pre-clinical studies, when translated to humans.

Immune checkpoint receptors with co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory signals are important modulators for the immune system. However, unrestricted co-stimulation and/or inadequate co-inhibition may cause breakdown of self-tolerance, leading to autoimmunity. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex multi-organ disease with skewed and dysregulated immune responses interacting with genetics and the environment. The close connections between co-signaling pathways and SLE have gradually been established in past research. Also, the recent success of immune checkpoint blockade in cancer therapy illustrates the importance of the co-inhibitory receptors in cancer immunotherapy. Moreover, immune checkpoint blockade could result in substantial immune-related adverse events that mimic autoimmune diseases, including lupus. Together, immune checkpoint regulators represent viable immunotherapeutic targets for the treatment of both autoimmunity and cancer. Therefore, it appears reasonable to treat SLE by restoring the out-of-order co-signaling axis or by manipulating collateral pathways to control the pathogenic immune responses. Here, we review the current state of knowledge regarding the relationships between SLE and the co-signaling pathways of T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and neutrophils, and highlight their potential clinical implications. Current clinical trials targeting the specific co-signaling axes involved in SLE help to advance such knowledge, but further in-depth exploration is still warranted.

The ability of T cells to identify foreign antigens and mount an efficient immune response while limiting activation upon recognition of self and self-associated peptides is critical. Multiple tolerance mechanisms work in concert to prevent the generation and activation of self-reactive T cells. T cell tolerance is tightly regulated, as defects in these processes can lead to devastating disease; a wide variety of autoimmune diseases and, more recently, adverse immune-related events associated with checkpoint blockade immunotherapy have been linked to a breakdown in T cell tolerance. The quantity and quality of antigen receptor signaling depend on a variety of parameters that include T cell receptor affinity and avidity for peptide. Autoreactive T cell fate choices (e.g., deletion, anergy, regulatory T cell development) are highly dependent on the strength of T cell receptor interactions with self-peptide. However, less is known about how differences in the strength of T cell receptor signaling during differentiation influences the ‘function’ and persistence of anergic and regulatory T cell populations. Here, we review the literature on this subject and discuss the clinical implications of how T cell receptor signal strength influences the ‘quality’ of anergic and regulatory T cell populations.

Under normal circumstances immune system will not destroy self-antigens, but in Auto-immune disease breakdown of mechanisms responsible for self-tolerance and induction of an immune response against component of the self-body tissues. Activation of self- reactive clones of T or B lymphocytes generating humoral or cell mediated response against self-antigen. Worldwide up to 700 million peoples are estimate to be suffering from auto-immune disease. According to Ayurveda cause of auto-immune disease is due to mechanism of aberrant ‘Agni’ and ‘Ama’ production may occur at macro and micro level. That Ama is full of antigen or the molecules which are mimicking the shape and structure of our healthy tissues. Those molecules are intermediary harmful metabolites which are attacked by our immune system to neutralize. That’s how the autoimmune diseases are start. Also, in auto-immune disease different Dhatvagnis are involved and Dhatus and related Shrotas suffer, resulting Dhatukshay, Ojakshay occurs and further multiple Koshtang and there Avayav affected.

Abstract CD4+ T cells are the master regulators of adaptive immune responses, and many autoimmune diseases arise due to a breakdown of self tolerance in CD4+ cells. Gene related to anergy in lymphocytes (GRAIL), the E3 ubiqutine ligase, has acknowledged as one of key molecules implicated in T cell activation and tolerance. In order to understand the physiological function of GRAIL in immune regulation, we have generated and analyzed GRAIL deficient mice. Naive T cells lacking GRAIL showed greatly enhanced proliferation and cytokine production after T cell receptor (TcR) activation. In addition, lack of GRAIL abrogated suppressive function of regulatory T (Treg) cells. We found that GRAIL deficient naive and Treg cells after TcR activation expressed substantially higher amounts of NFATc1 compared to wild-type cells, whereas the activation of other factors in AP-1 and NFκB pathways were normal. Our data also suggested that sustained TcR cell-surface expression in the absence of GRAIL led to selective NFATc1 expression in both naive T cells and Treg cells. In contrast to naïve T cells, GRAIL, through controlling NFATc1 expression, inhibits IL-21 production and upregulation of Th17-specific genes in Treg cells. Thus, the immune regulation by GRAIL in both naive and Treg cells is absolutely critical as evidenced by the failure of T cell tolerance induction and greatly increased susceptibility to autoimmune diseases of GRAIL deficient mice.

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an immune mediated liver injury. The precise aetiology of AIH is still unknown but current evidence suggests both genetic and environmental factors are involved. Breakdown in peripheral self-tolerance, and impaired functions of FOXP3+regulatory T cell along with effector cell resistance to suppression at the tissue level seem to play an important role in AIH immunopathogenesis. AIH is predominantly a T lymphocytes driven disease but B lymphocytes are also involved in the immunopathology. Innate immune cells are crucial in the initial onset of disease and their response is followed by adaptive T (Th1, Th17, and cytotoxic T cells) and B cell responses evidenced by liver histology and peripheral blood serology. Standard treatment regimens involving steroid and immunosuppressive medications lead to global immune suppression requiring life-long therapy with many side effects. Biologic therapies have been attempted but duration of remission is short-lived. Future direction of diagnosis and treatment for AIH should be guided by “omics” and the immunology profile of the individual patient and clinicians should aim to deliver personalised medicine for their patients. Cell therapy such as infusion of autologous, antigen-specific, and liver-homing regulatory T cells to restore hepatic immune tolerance may soon be a potential future treatment for AIH patients.

The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in several cancers is expanding; however, their use in patients with cancer and an organ transplant is very limited. In this review, we summarize the literature and the experience of anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors in the organ transplant patient. The immunology of CTLA-4 and PD-1 inhibitors and their role in tolerance breakdown is also reviewed. While CTLA-4 inhibitors have been successfully used in kidney, liver, and heart transplant patients without rejection, the uses of PD-1 inhibitors and the combination therapy of CTLA-4 and PD-1 inhibitors have been associated with cellular- and antibody-mediated rejection. While immunosuppression minimization is needed for ICI to provide the best response when managing transplant patients who develop malignancy, this can lead to rejection episodes. Prevention strategies, such as the use of ongoing steroids and sirolimus, could prevent rejection while sustaining tumor response. As the experience grows with these agents, we will learn more about tolerance and the use of ICI in the organ transplant patient. Therefore, the use of an immune checkpoint blockade in transplantation is extremely difficult, and future research should focus on finding the right balance between unleashing the immune system to provide an anti-tumor effect but at the same time sustaining tolerance so that rejection is suppressed. Also, the ability to identify biomarkers that may predict rejection early and allow for the fine tuning of doses and frequencies of drug administration would be very helpful.

Abstract Background: Pre-eclampsia is an elusive disease specific to human pregnancy. Risk factors suggest an immunologic cause, but specific data is lacking. Methods: A case control study of normal to pre-eclamptic mothers was undertaken (UCLA IRB # 11-002962). Cells were harvested at the uteroplacental interface at the time of cesarean section using a surgical sponge and, together with peripheral blood lymphocytes, subjected to FACS analysis. Results: Comprehensive evaluation of the peripheral and local maternal cellular milieu demonstrates maternal immune activation during pre-eclampsia. Significant reduction of peripheral naïve CD4 T cells concomitant with increased central memory CD4 T cells is accompanied by a significant increase of HLA-DR+ Activated Treg in pre-eclampsia. At the uteroplacental interface, CD8 HLA-DR+ effector T cells and Fas+ CD56hi NK cells are significantly enriched. Discussion: Systemic and local maternal immune activation is a feature of pre-eclampsia suggesting a breakdown in maternal immune tolerance. The observed peripheral increase in Activated Tregs is not mirrored at the uteroplacental interface suggesting a potential deficit in Treg trafficking. In pre-eclampsia, maternal cellular immune activation is invoked at the uteroplacental interface involving both the T cell and NK cell compartments. The kinetics of peripheral blood CD4 immune activation suggests long-standing underlying inflammation potentially providing a diagnostic- and prognostic tool.

A multitude of environmental factors can result in breakdown of immune tolerance in susceptible hosts. Infectious pathogens are among the most important environmental triggers in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity. Certain autoimmune disorders have a strong association with specific infections.

In this review, we discuss the proposed mechanisms underlying pathogen-induced autoimmunity, and highlight the clinical presentation and treatment of several post-infectious autoimmune neurological disorders.

Abstract T cells are the master regulators of adaptive immune responses, and many autoimmune diseases arise due to a breakdown of self-tolerance in T cells. Understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying T cell tolerance will lead to development of pharmacological approaches either to promote the tolerance state in terms of autoimmunity or to break tolerance in cancer. E3 ubiquitin ligases have been placed among the essential molecules involved in the regulation of T cell functions and T cell tolerance. We as well as other groups have reported that T cells activated in the absence of both CD28 and ICOS costimulation developed into tolerant T cells, associated with markedly upregulated expression of the E3 ubiquitin ligase GRAIL. In order to understand the physiological function of GRAIL, we generated mice deficient in Grail by replacing region that encompassing most of the RING domain and responsible for E3 ubiquitin activity. Remarkably, genetic inactivation of E3 ubiquitin ligase function of GRAIL led to T cell hyper-responsiveness to TCR/CD3z signaling and their independency to costimulation for activation. As a result, GRAIL-deficient mice were more predisposing to autoimmune diseases. On the other hand, modulation of GRAIL function helped to boost T cell immune responses to cancer, and, therefore, mediate tumor rejection. Thus, modulation of the E3 ligase activity of GRAIL might be an important approach to control T cell functions in autoimmunity or cancer.

AbstractMechanisms occurring in the thymus and periphery are responsible for the generation and maintenance of tolerance in the immune system. Various reports have shown that the existence of an antigen in the peripheral circulation results in tolerance induction towards that protein. These observations imply that the lack of a self antigen can lead to induction of autoimmunity. Previously we have reported that Tyrosinase related protein-2 (TRP-2) transcripts from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are absent in vitiligo patients but present in healthy individuals. Here, we show that MART1 (Melanoma antigen recognized by T cells) transcripts are not detected in the PBMCs of vitiligo patients but is detected in healthy controls. Our result suggests that as MART1 is not expressed in the PBMCs, MART1 is also not available for induction and maintenance of peripheral tolerance in vitiligo patients. We therefore conclude that nonexpression of MART1 in PBMCs of vitiligo patients may be somehow responsible for the tolerance breakdown finally resulting in the induction of autoimmunity seen against these self antigens in vitiligo.

A cardinal feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the development of autoantibodies. The first autoantibodies described in patients with SLE were those specific for nuclei and DNA, but subsequent work has shown that individuals with this disease produce a panoply of different autoantibodies. Thus, one of the constant features of SLE is a profound breakdown in tolerance in the antibody system. The appearance of self-reactive antibodies in SLE precedes clinical disease, but where in the B cell pathway tolerance is first broken has not been defined. In healthy humans, autoantibodies are removed from the B cell repertoire in two discrete early checkpoints in B cell development. We found these checkpoints to be defective in three adolescent patients with SLE. 25–50% of the mature naive B cells in SLE patients produce self-reactive antibodies even before they participate in immune responses as compared with 5–20% in controls. We conclude that SLE is associated with abnormal early B cell tolerance.

Recognition of foreign nucleic acids is the primary mechanism by which a type I interferon–mediated antiviral response is triggered. Given that human cells are replete with DNA and RNA, this evolutionary strategy poses an inherent biological challenge, i.e., the fundamental requirement to reliably differentiate self–nucleic acids from nonself nucleic acids. We suggest that the group of Mendelian inborn errors of immunity referred to as the type I interferonopathies relate to a breakdown of self/nonself discrimination, with the associated mutant genotypes involving molecules playing direct or indirect roles in nucleic acid signaling. This perspective begs the question as to the sources of self-derived nucleic acids that drive an inappropriate immune response. Resolving this question will provide fundamental insights into immune tolerance, antiviral signaling, and complex autoinflammatory disease states. Here we develop these ideas, discussing type I interferonopathies within the broader framework of nucleic acid–driven inflammation.

There has been considerable historical interest in the concept of a specialist T-cell subset which suppresses over-zealous or inappropriate T-cell responses. However, it was not until the discovery that CD4+CD25+ T-cells had suppressive capabilities both in vitro and in vivo that this concept regained credibility and developed into one of the most active research areas in immunology today. The notion that in healthy individuals there is a subset of Treg-cells (regulatory T-cells) involved in ‘policing’ the immune system has led to the intensive exploration of the role of this subset in disease resulting in a number of studies concluding that a quantitative or qualitative decline in Treg-cells is an important part of the breakdown in self-tolerance leading to the development of autoimmune diseases. Although Treg-cells have subsequently been widely postulated to represent a potential immunotherapy option for patients with autoimmune disease, several studies of autoimmune disorders have demonstrated high numbers of Treg-cells in inflamed tissue. The present review highlights the need to consider a range of other factors which may be impairing Treg-cell function when considering the mechanisms involved in the breakdown of self-tolerance rather than focussing on intrinsic Treg-cell factors.

The article discusses the determining role of immunopathogenesis of the main diseases of the modern man (cancer, atherosclerosis, autoimmune, allergic and infectious diseases). In this regard, the concept of «immune paradigm» is introduced. There is evidence that any pathology is based on the classical immune response to the antigen, whether auto- or xenoantigen, with all stages of its development and parallel changes in the state of immune tolerance: its breakdown in cases of autoimmune and allergic diseases and atherosclerosis; its establishment in cases of cancer and infectious diseases. In the meantime, it is emphasized that the immunopathogenesis is based on insufficient or increased function of immunocompetent regulatory cells with suppressive activity. Here the concept of «immunosuppressive dominant» is introduced. Finally, we discuss the need for fundamental changes in treatment of these diseases, with a focus on molecular and cellular immunotherapy methods and development of integrated approaches to their application.

When CD4+ cell suspensions prepared from BALB/c nu/+ mice lymph nodes and spleens were depleted of CD25+ cells by specific mAb and C, and then inoculated into BALB/c athymic nude (nu/nu) mice, all recipients spontaneously developed histologically and serologically evident autoimmune diseases (such as thyroiditis, gastritis, insulitis, sialoadenitis, adrenalitis, oophoritis, glomerulonephritis, and polyarthritis); some mice also developed graft-vs-host-like wasting disease. Reconstitution of CD4+CD25+ cells within a limited period after transfer of CD4+CD25- cells prevented these autoimmune developments in a dose-dependent fashion, whereas the reconstitution several days later, or inoculation of an equivalent dose of CD8+ cells, was far less efficient for the prevention. When nu/nu mice were transplanted with allogeneic skins or immunized with xenogeneic proteins at the time of CD25- cell inoculation, they showed significantly heightened immune responses to the skins or proteins, and reconstitution of CD4+CD25+ cells normalized the responses. Taken together, these results indicate that CD4+CD25+ cells contribute to maintaining self-tolerance by down-regulating immune response to self and non-self Ags in an Ag-nonspecific manner, presumably at the T cell activation stage; elimination/reduction of CD4+CD25+ cells relieves this general suppression, thereby not only enhancing immune responses to non-self Ags, but also eliciting autoimmune responses to certain self-Ags. Abnormality of this T cell-mediated mechanism of peripheral tolerance can be a possible cause of various autoimmune diseases.
