Recent studies indicate that IFN-
is involved in pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus. However, direct proof that IFN-
is not only necessary, but also sufficient to induce lupus pathogenicity is lacking. In this study, we show that in vivo adenovector-mediated delivery of murine IFN-
results in preautoimmune (New Zealand Black (NZB) x New Zealand White (NZW))F1, but not in normal, mice, in a rapid and severe disease with all characteristics of systemic lupus erythematosus. Anti-dsDNA Abs appeared as soon as day 10 after initiation of IFN-
treatment. Proteinuria and death caused by glomerulonephritis occurred in all treated mice within, respectively,
9 and
18 wk, at a time when all untreated (NZB x NZW)F1 did not show any sign of disease. IFN-
in vivo induced an overexpression of B lymphocyte stimulator in circulation at similar levels in both the preautoimmune and the normal mouse strains. All effects elicited by IFN-
were dose dependent. (NZB x NZW)F1 infused with purified murine IFN-
also showed acceleration of lupus. Thus, prolonged expression of IFN-
in vivo induces early lethal lupus in susceptible animals.
