OBJECTIVE: Increased Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR-7) signaling leading to the production of type I interferon (IFN) is an important contributor to human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Protein kinase C and casein kinase substrate in neurons 1 (PACSIN1), a molecule that regulates synaptic vesicle recycling, has been linked to TLR-7/TLR-9-mediated type I IFN production in humans and mice, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. We undertook this study to explore the pathogenicity and underlying mechanism of a de novo PACSIN1 missense variant identified in a child with SLE.
METHODS: PACSIN1 Q59K de novo and null variants were introduced into a human plasmacytoid dendritic cell line and into mice using CRISPR/Cas9 editing. The effects of the variants on TLR-7/TLR-9 signaling in human and mouse cells, as well as PACSIN1 messenger RNA and IFN signature in SLE patients, were assessed using real-time polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry. Mechanisms were investigated using luciferase reporter assays, RNA interference, coimmunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence.
RESULTS: We established that PACSIN1 forms a trimolecular complex with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 4 (TRAF4) and TRAF6 that is important for the regulation of type I IFN. The Q59K mutation in PACSIN1 augments binding to neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein while it decreases binding to TRAF4, leading to unrestrained TRAF6-mediated activation of type I IFN. Intriguingly, PACSIN1 Q59K increased TLR-7 but not TLR-9 signaling in human cells, leading to elevated expression of IFNβ and IFN-inducible genes. Untreated SLE patients had high PACSIN1 expression in peripheral blood cells that correlated positively with IFN-related genes. Introduction of the Pacsin1 Q59K mutation into mice caused increased surface TLR-7 and TRAIL expression in B cells.
CONCLUSION: PACSIN1 Q59K increases IFNβ activity through the impairment of TRAF4-mediated inhibition of TLR-7 signaling, possibly contributing to SLE risk.
