The roles of cytolytic regulatory mechanisms in the immune system
of lupus-prone mice were examined in perforin-deficient animals bearing
functional or defective (lpr) Fas Ag (CD95).
Perforin-deficient Fas+ animals developed accelerated
autoimmunity, characterized by increased hypergammaglobulinemia,
autoantibody production, and immune deposit-related end-organ disease
compared with perforin-intact counterparts. In comparison,
perforin-deficient lpr animals had accelerated mortality
compared with perforin-intact lpr mice, associated with the
abnormal accumulation of CD3+CD4-CD8- 
ß
T cells in conjunction with unaltered hypergammaglobulinemia,
autoantibody production, and immune complex renal disease. These
results indicate that cytolytic lymphoid regulation plays critical
roles in the immune homeostasis of lupus-prone animals, and identify
perforin-mediated cytotoxicity as a specific mechanism in the
regulation of systemic autoimmunity.
