AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
Autoimmune Disease
• Autoimmunity: acquired immune
reaction, against self antigens
• Autoimmune diseases: the autoimmune
reaction induces lesions in tissues
• Auto-antibodies (Auto-Ab): Abs against
self Ags (usually IgG or IgM)
Autoimmune Reaction
• Natural – up to a point
• Needed to eliminate unwanted auto-Ags
(“old”, “non-efficient”, “alternated”), or to
reduce the immune response activated in
excess (“anti-idiotyp”)
• T ly, by linking to MHC  stimulate B ly to
secrete Auto-Abs (there are auto-Ab antialbumin etc)
Immune Tolerance
• This Immune tolerance induce either
deletion or inactivation of autoreactive T
ly
1. Central Tolerance : immature T and B ly
became tolerant to self Ags – clonally
deletion (takes place during the thymus
maturation, usually an irreversible
process. Its is followed by positive or
negative selection)
Immune Tolerance
• Induce deletion or inactivation of
autoreactive T ly
2. Peripheral Tolerance: takes place in
secondary lymphoid organs (Clonal
Anergy) – proliferative functions and
secretion one are inhibited by leak of
costimulitory mediators/signals
Immune Tolerance
• Induce deletion or inactivation of
autoreactive ly T
3. Activation of some suppressor
mechanisms : Ts ly act by inhibating
cytotoxic cells; idiotype – anti-idiotype
network or death of autoreactive cells)
Autoimmunity Hypothesis
• Theory of the hidden Ags (in Nervous
System, crystalline, thyroid, sperm cells,
bile)
• Theory of forbidden clone (some error
in deletion of autoreactive ly during fetal
life). Forbidden clones might appear also
after somatic mutation (normally they are
eliminated)
Autoimmunity Hypothesis
• Theory of clonal anergy: another form
of forbidden clones. Clones which
encounter the self Ag are not eliminated,
they are just temporally suppressed (they
recover at high quantities of Ags, or long
persistent of them)
Autoimmunity Hypothesis
• Theory of immune deficiency: there is
functional inhibition of suppressor cells
(CD8+ T ly) which do not block anymore
auto-aggressive phenomenon

Immune Recognition
• High organ Specificity
• Without organ Specificity (systemic
reactions)
Auto-Abs
• Anti-molecule
Immune Complexes (CI)
deposition in vessel, glomeruls
(colagenosis; SLE)
• Anti-cells (Ag in membranes)
cytotoxicity (C’ activation) or cell-mediated
cytotoxicity (CCAD) or phagocytosis
• Anti-receptor (cell receptor)
stimulation of function or neutralization of
receptor (myasthenia, hypertiroiditis)
Pathogenic Effects of Auto-Abs
• Cytotoxic (dependent of C’, mediated by
cells)
• Blocking, agglutination or masking (of
some cell function)
• Activation of phagocytosis (oposonization
and activation of macrophages)
Autoreactive T Lymphocytes
• Present in experimental encephalitis in
mice
• NK Cells – usually suppressed (they lose
their regulatory role of down-regulation of
immune responses)
Predisposing Factors
• Genetic Factors:
HLA-B27 with Ankylosis spondylitis
- in other diseases, the importance of
genetic factors is lesser

Definition
• Affection with unknown etiology,
where the tissues are damaged by
Auto-antibodies and Immune
Complexes
Ethiology

Epidemiology
• 90% are Female, aged 20-30 years
• More frequent in blacks, followed by
Hispanic populations, and Asiatic
populations
• Prevalence 15-50/100,000 (SUA)
Pathology
• Lesions induced by AutoAb, IC
1. Hyperreactivity of T, B lymphocytes
2. Genetic Induce
3. Environment factors: viruses,
bacteria, drugs
Pathology
Genetic Induce :
- more frequent in monozigots (25 - 58%) vs dizigots
(0-6%)
- more frequent in families with one patients
- more frequent in pts with defects or deletion of allele of classes
III C4AQO (40-50% pts)
- more frequent in homozygote with defects of C’ (C1q,
C2, C4) (< 5% pts)
- haplotype B8.DR3.DQw2.C4AQO predispose to SLE
in population from north of Europe
•
Genetic Predisposition for SLE induce by drugs: dependence of
the acetilation of the drug
Pathology
-


Associated with HLA-DR2 or –DR3 (“gene for
autoimmunity”)
Cz 1 (1q23) has gene for FcγRIIA; and 1q4142 has poli gena (DNA-ribosil) polymerase
(PARP) and them may produce defects of the
way DNA is repaired and defects of apoptosis
AutoAb are associated with some symptoms in
SLE:
AutoAb to Ro/La (SS-A/SS-B) in sub acute SLE
normal Allele of FcγRIIA or FcγRIIIA which
bound to IgG2/IgG3 are more frequent in
nephritis (CI are not eliminated from
circulation)
Pathology
Immunological Factors: 
- IFN – type I (cz 9p21): -there are 13
-
isoforms of IFN-1 - they activate the
“program” of T ly for IFN-2 secretion (former
γ)
Toll Receptors (role in innate immune sist
and allows the formation of acquired
immunity; stimulatory and inhibitory functions)
Dendritic plasmocitoide Cells (they secrete
IFN- 1) – receptors to identified BDCA-2 si
BDCA-4
Pathology
Environmental Factors: 
- UV-B and UV-A (70% pts have photosensitivity)
- Chemical Substances (hidralazine, isoniazide,
clorpromazin, D-penicilamin, practolol, metildopa,
quinidin, IFN-, hidantoine, etosuximide, contraceptive
oral)

C’ low (= activity of disease)
CH50 – total hemolytic function of C’

CH50 very low + C3 normal = innate deficiency of
C’ (associated frequent with SLE - ANA neg)
Anemia (normochrom, sometimes hemolytic),

Differential Diagnostic
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Other autoimmune diseases
• Dermatitis
• Neurological Diseases: systemic sclerosis
• Psychiatric Diseases
• Hematological Diseases: idiopathic
purpura with low platelets
Progression of the disease
• Remission – rarely
• 25% have a mild form of SLE - no lethal risk
• With activity and remission periods
Treatment
• No curative treatment
• Mild Form:
• better without glucocorticosteroids (GCS)
• NSAD • COX-2 inhibitors
• Antimalarics: hidroxiclorochin (400 mg/day)
• UV protection oigments
• Topic or intralesional: GCS, quinacrin,
retinoids, dapson
• for drug induce – withdraw the drug (rarely
short term GCS)
Treatment
• Severe Form (renal, nervous system
etc):
• Gluco-Corticosteroids:
- 1-2 mg/kg/day (in 2-3 dose, at
8-12 hours; pulse therapy with
metilprednisolon 1000 mg/day iv, 2-5 days)
- after that in the morning, in alternative
days with GCS with short action:
prednisone, prednisolon, metilprednisolon
with maintenance doses: lowest dose
without symptoms
Treatment
• Severe Form (renal, cardiac etc):
To Reduce side effects of GCS:
• vaccine
• supplement: Vit D, Calcium,
Calcitonin,
Biphosphonats
• association with other therapy
Treatment
• Severe Form (renal, etc):
• Cytotoxic Agent (immunosuppressive): Azathioprin
2-3 mg/kg/day p.o., Clorambucil, Ciclofosfamid 10 -15
mg/kg/day iv for 4 weeks and 1,5-2,5 mg/kg/day p.o.,
Methotrexat 5-20 mg/day, once/week, p.o. or s.c.,
Mofetil Micofenolate –[CellCeptR, cp 500mg] - 1-2,5
g/day, p.o.)
• reduce the GCS dose: two even 3 drugs (ciclofosfamid +
azathioprina)
• in renal lesions (GCS + ciclofosfamida iv – most efficient, but
very toxic)
• try to reduce doses when the disease is controlled, (even
withdraw them)
Treatment
• Severe Form (renal etc):
• Anticoagulants (warfarina)
• Ig iv
• renal transplant - allograph (high risk
of
rejection)
• plasmaferesis (associated with
cytotoxicity)
• cyclosporine
New Treatments
• Mild Forms: dihidroepiandrosteron
• Rituxan (Mo Ab anti B Ly - anti CD20)
• Blocking the activity of B ly with antiBlys (member of TNF superfamily
molecules)
• induce tolerance to ADN
• MoAb anti - TNF - disappointment
Prognostic
• Prognostic is good in drug induced lupus (those drugs
•
•
•
•
•
may be administered in pts with SLE)
Remission (frequent, but short period) – la 20%
Survival
at 2 years: 90-95%
at 5 years: 71-80%
at 10 years: 63-75%
Prognostic is sever for renal involve. (mortality 50% at
10 years), CNS les.
Prognostic is severe when C’ is very low, or platelets are
low
Death: either from active disease, either infections in
first prima 10 years, or thrombembolism in next 10-20
years
