OBJECTIVES: Long Interspersed Element 1 (LINE-1) is an endogenous retroelement that constitutes a significant portion of the human genome and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The LINE-1 RNA chaperone protein ORF1p was recently identified as an SLE autoantigen. Here we analyse ORF1p for qualities underlying SLE autoantigen status, compared anti-ORF1p antibodies to markers of SLE disease activity, and performed screening for antibodies against LINE-1 reverse transcriptase ORF2p.
METHODS: ORF1p was examined in epithelial cell lines treated with cytotoxic lymphocyte granules and UV irradiation. Anti-ORF1p and anti-ORF2p antibodies were assayed by ELISA and analysed in two SLE cohorts.
RESULTS: We found that ORF1p localises to cytoplasmic RNA-containing blebs in apoptotic cells, and is a substrate of the cytotoxic protease granzyme B (GrB). Anti-ORF1p antibodies were present in 4.2% of healthy controls, compared to 15.8% (p=0.0157) and 15.5% (p=0.036) of subjects in the two SLE cohorts. Anti-ORF1p antibodies were not associated with SLE disease activity nor peripheral blood markers of interferon (IFN) activation. Anti-ORF1p titres demonstrated stability over serial time points. Anti-ORF1p antibodies were not associated with anti-DNA, anti-RNP, or other SLE autoantibodies. There was no difference in anti-ORF2p ELISA results in controls versus SLE patients.
CONCLUSIONS: LINE-1 ORF1p is a component of apoptotic blebs and a substrate for GrB. Anti-ORF1p antibodies are enriched in SLE subjects but are not associated with dynamic markers of disease activity. These data support a potential role for LINE-1 dysregulation in SLE pathogenesis.
