AbstractThe mechanisms by which anti-DNA antibodies contribute to the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis (LN) remain to be elucidated. This study investigates the binding of polyclonal anti-DNA immunoglobulins from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to human mesangial cells (HMC) in vitro. Testing of cross-sectional serum samples from 280 LN patients (108 during active disease; 172 during remission), 35 SLE patients without renal involvement, 72 patients with nonlupus primary glomerular diseases, and 37 healthy subjects with a cellular enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed significant IgG mesangial cell-binding activity in patients with SLE, particularly those with active LN (P < 0.0001). Significant HMC-binding activity was demonstrated in 83.9%, 42.8%, and 47.1% of patients with active LN, inactive LN, and non-renal SLE, respectively. This was predominantly attributed to binding by anti-DNA antibodies, and immune complex binding accounted for 4.6%, 3.5%, and 2.8% of seropositive samples in the respective groups. Longitudinal studies in 27 LN patients demonstrated correlation between serial levels of anti-DNA antibodies, serum HMC-binding activity, and disease activity in 18 patients (66.7%). Affinity-purified polyclonal IgG anti-DNA antibodies from sera with HMC-binding activity showed significant binding to cultured HMC, and to a lesser extent glomerular and proximal tubular epithelial cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells, but not tumor cell lines, peritoneal mesothelial cells, bronchial epithelial cells, or fibroblasts. The binding of anti-DNA antibodies to HMC was increased 1.47-fold (P = 0.0059) after the removal of Ig-associated DNA by DNase treatment, but it was unaffected by DNase treatment of HMC membrane. Controlled trypsinization of membrane proteins in HMC resulted in a 1.26-fold (P = 0.0025) increase in their binding by anti-DNA antibodies. In conclusion, subsets of anti-DNA antibodies from patients with SLE are capable of binding to HMC. The association of such binding with renal involvement and disease activity and its modulation by DNA concentration suggest that Ig binding to HMC can be a potential marker for disease activity in selected patients and that the binding of anti-DNA antibodies to HMC may be a pathogenetic mechanism in LN.
