IMMUNOBIOLOGY

Differential roles for beta2 integrins in experimental autoimmune bullous pemphigoid

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune disease associated with autoantibodies directed against the hemidesmosomal antigens anti-BP230 and anti-B180. Neonatal mice injected with rabbit anti-mouse BP180 (mBP10) IgG develop a BP-like disease. Complement, immune complexes, mast cells, and neutrophils play a key role in subepidermal blistering in this animal model. In this study we investigated the role of beta2 integrins in experimental BP. Wild-type (WT) mice pretreated with neutralizing antibody against CD11a (LFA-1), CD11b (Mac-1), CD11a plus CD11b, or CD18 alone failed to develop BP when injected with pathogenic anti-mBP180 IgG. This was associated with a significant reduction in neutrophil accumulation in neutralizing antibody-treated mice. Mac-1-deficient (Mac-1 knockout [KO]) mice were resistant to experimental BP despite normal complement deposition and mast cell and neutrophil degranulation. Neutrophil infiltration in Mac-1 KO mice was severely impaired at 24 hours. However, more neutrophils accumulated in the skin of Mac-1 KO mice compared with WT mice at early time points (2-4 hours), which was associated with an increase in their survival as determined by apoptosis markers. These data suggest that beta2 integrins play differential roles in experimental BP: LFA-1 is required for neutrophil recruitment, while Mac-1 mediates late neutrophil accumulation and apoptosis of infiltrating neutrophils.
