摘要
T cells play a critical role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Chronic T cell receptor (TCR) signalling induces T cell exhaustion, characterised by reduced capacity to induce tissue damage. Here, we investigated the therapeutic potential of the anti-TCR beta (H57-597) monoclonal antibody (mAb) in a mouse model of SLE. Four-month-old MRL/lpr mice exhibiting SLE phenotypes received 5 weekly doses of anti-TCR beta mAb or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) vehicle control. Subsequently, mouse survival was monitored daily. On day 1 post the final dose of treatment, SLE pathogenesis was determined using histological staining and spot urine test. T and B cell states in the brain, kidney, and secondary lymphoid organs were determined by flow cytometry. Transient treatment of anti-TCR beta mAb significantly prolonged the survival of MRL/lpr mice. Accordingly, MRL/lpr mice in the anti-TCR beta mAb group exhibited decreased proteinuria scores and minimal renal pathological damage compared to the PBS control group. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that anti-TCR beta mAb treatment resulted in a reduction in the frequencies of CD4+ T cells and CD138+B220lo/- plasma cells, plus an increase in Foxp3+ regulatory T cell frequency. Furthermore, CD4+ T cells from anti-TCR beta mAb treated mice exhibited elevated expression levels of PD-1 and TIM-3, with reduced IFN-gamma production, indicative of an exhaustion-like phenotype. Therefore, transient administration of anti-TCR beta mAb treatment induces an exhaustion-like phenotype in CD4+ T cells, resulting in prolonged survival of MRL/lpr mice. Inducing autoreactive T-cell exhaustion holds promise as an attractive therapeutic approach for SLE.
