Abstract

- The pentraxin C-reactive protein (CRP) is a pentameric protein now known to be able to undergo dissociation into a monomeric, modified isoform, referred to as mCRP. In carefully assessing the bioactivities of each isoform, mCRP has strong pro-inflammatory activities while pCRP has mild anti-inflammatory activities. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disease characterized by a vast number of autoantibodies, including anti-CRP autoan-tibodies which have been associated with SLE disease activity and lupus nephritis. The origin of these autoan-tibodies is currently unknown. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been implicated in SLE pathogenesis as they can expose nuclear antigens on their outside surface, thereby being a potential adjuvant for the generation of au-toantibodies. Herein, we studied exposure of both pCRP and mCRP on EVs in SLE plasma and the implications of each in disease activity, organ damage and clinical manifestations. We used flow cytometry to detect CRP iso-forms on EV surfaces in 67 well-characterized SLE patients and 60 sex-and age-matched healthy controls. Au-toantibodies against mCRP were measured using ELISA. We found an abundance of both pCRP and mCRP on SLE EVs compared to controls. Furthermore, mCRP+ but not pCRP+ EVs were elevated in patients with active disease and in anti-CRP positive patients. The proportions of mCRP+ EVs were lower in patients with acquired organ damage, especially in patients with lupus nephritis (LN), and displayed an inverse relationship with disease duration in LN and patients with active disease. Speculatively, these data suggest EV-bound mCRP as a relevant factor in SLE pathogenesis, which could contribute to development of anti-CRP autoantibodies by stimulating an immune response.
