Abstract

- Autoantibody-mediated inflammation contributes to the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and anti-type II collagen (CII) antibodies are present in the serum, synovial fluid, and cartilage of RA patients. We had previously generated and characterized knock-in mice expressing a germline-encoded, CII-specific IgH (B10Q.ACB), which demonstrated positive selection of self-reactive B cells. Here, we show that despite the spontaneous production of CII-specific autoantibodies, B10Q.ACB mice are protected from collagen-induced arthritis. Introducing a mutation in the Ncf1 gene, leading to ROS deficiency, breaks this strong arthritis resistance. Disease development in Ncf1-mutated B10Q.ACB mice is associated with an enhanced germinal center formation but without somatic mutations of the auto-reactive B cells, increased T-cell responses and intramolecular epitope-spreading. Thus, ROS-mediated B-cell tolerance to a self-antigen could operate by limiting the expansion of the auto-reactive B-cell repertoire, which has important implications for the understanding of epitope spreading phenomena in rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.
