PURPOSE: Genome-wide association study of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) revealed tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3, A20) as a susceptibility gene. Here, we report a de novo mutation in TNFAIP3 in a Chinese patient with neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE).
METHODS: Whole exome sequencing was performed for the patient and healthy members from the family. Suspected pathogenic variants were further analyzed and co-segregation was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Real-time PCR and western blot were performed with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and patient-derived T cells. Transfected HEK293T cells, human umbilical vein endothelial cells, normal human astrocytes, and microglia were used for in vitro studies.
RESULTS: A de novo frameshift mutation in TNFAIP3 was found in the NPSLE patient. Western blot analysis showed activated NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. Real-time PCR revealed elevated expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. On immunoprecipitation assay, the mutant A20 altered the K63-linked ubiquitin level of TRAF6 via its ubiquitin-editing function.
CONCLUSIONS: The mutant A20 may play a role in weakening the tight junction of the blood-brain barrier to cause neurologic symptoms. We report a rare variant of TNFAIP3 in a patient with NPSLE and reveal its autoimmune disease-causing mechanism in both peripheral tissues and the central nervous system.
