Transcript

Slide 1-

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Steve Beesley
Slide 2-

History 1948 – Malcolm Hargraves discovers the lupus erythematosus (LE) cell. 1957 – The first anti-DNA antibody is identified.
Slide 3-

LE Cell The LE cell is a neutrophil that has engulfed the antibody-coated nucleus of another neutrophil. LE cells may appear in rosettes where there are several neutrophils vying for an individual complement covered protein.
Slide 4-

Genetic Associations HLA’s are loci on genes that code for certain β chain on the MHC complex HLA-DR2 HLA-DR3 HLA-DQB1 – Involved in mediating production of antibodies to ds-DNA
Slide 5-

Symptoms Non-specific: Fatigue Weight loss Malaise = generally feeling ill Fever Anorexia (over time) Arthritis 90% of patients experience arthritic symptoms Symmetrical Appears in hands, wrists, and knees mainly
Slide 6-

Skin Manifestations Malar or Butterfly Rash Discoid Rash – Stimulated by UV light Skin manifestations only appear in 30-40% of lupus patients.
Slide 7-

Renal (Kidney) Manifestations 50-70% of all lupus patients experience renal developments. Most Dangerous: Glomerulonephritis where at least 50% of the glomeruli have cellular proliferation Glomeruli – capillary beds in the kidney that filter the blood. Renal Failure because of Glomerulonephritis is the leading cause of death among lupus patients. Normal Glomerulonephritis
Slide 8-

Other Manifestations Cardiac Central Nervous System Hematological
Slide 9-

Main Pathology The plasma cells are producing antibodies that are specific for self proteins, namely ds-DNA Overactive B-cells Suppressed regulatory function in T-cells Lack of T-cells Activation of the Complement system
Slide 10-

Overactive B-cells Estrogen is a stimulator of B-cell activity Lupus is much more prevalent in females of ages 15-45 Height of Estrogen production IL-10, also a B-cell stimulator is in high concentration in lupus patient serum. High concentration linked to cell damage caused by inflammation
Slide 11-

T-cell Malfunctions Fc region switch ζ  εγ Leads to malfunction in signaling and decreased IL-2 production Increased levels of Ca2+ Leads to spontaneous apoptosis
Slide 12-

T-cell Signal Transduction
Slide 13-

Activation of Complement System Complement system is activated by the binding of antibodies to foreign debris. In this case its over activation RBCs lack CR1 receptor Decreasing the affective removal of complexes
Slide 14-

IgG Pathogen IgG is the most “pathogenic” because it forms intermediate sized complexes that can get to the small places and block them.
Slide 15-

DNA is the Main man DNA is the main antigen for which antibodies are formed. Extracellular DNA has an affinity for basement membrane where it is bound by autoantibodies. Classical thickening of the basement membrane
Slide 16-

Testing ESR Urinalysis Complement Test Tests levels of C3, C4, CH50 Low levels indicates possible presence of disease FANA – Fluorescent antinuclear antibody Ouchterlony Test – shows interactions
Slide 17-

FANA ELISA Test Generally test for: ds-DNA antibodies Antihistone antibodies Binds to DNA, major constituent of chromatin Deoxyribonucleoprotein (DNP)
Slide 18-

Ouchterlony Test Used to determine immunological specificity Rules out a false positive Shows the serum does or does not have antinuclear antibodies
Slide 19-

Summary Lupus = Autoimmunity Systemic and affects connective tissue Caused by malfunctions of: T-cells B-cells Complement System Signal Transduction Can be lethal or not Unique to each individual
