IFN-{gamma} Receptor Deletion Prevents Autoantibody Production and Glomerulonephritis in Lupus-Prone (NZB x NZW)F1 Mice1

(NZB x NZW)F1 female (BW) mice spontaneously develop an autoimmune disease, characterized by the production of autoantibodies (autoAbs) and glomerulonephritis, which can be delayed by neutralizing IFN-{gamma} Abs and accelerated by IFN-{gamma} injections. To define the role of IFN-{gamma} in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis, we established a population of BW mice deficient in IFN-{gamma}R (BW{gamma}R-/-) by repeated crossing; these mice were compared with BW{gamma}R+/+ and +/- littermates. Of the BW{gamma}R+/+ and +/- mice, 50% showed immune complex glomerulonephritis with heavy proteinuria at 8 mo of age, while only 10% of the BW{gamma}R-/- mice were affected at 14 mo. The serum concentration of anti-dsDNA and anti-histone Abs was dramatically reduced in BW{gamma}R-/- mice. The role of IFN-{gamma} in promoting class switch to IgG2a and IgG3 could not fully account for the impaired production of anti-dsDNA in BW{gamma}R-/- animals since, IgM and IgG1 levels were also reduced. There was a high incidence of B cell lymphoma in the BW{gamma}R-/- mice, which might be related to the suppression of autoAb production. Thus, the absence of glomerulonephritis in BW{gamma}R-/- mice is likely due to a dramatic yet unexplained effect of the inactivation of IFN-{gamma} signaling on autoAb production.
