Cardinal features of lupus include elevated B cell activation and autoantibody production with a female sex preponderance. We quantified interactions of sex and genetic variation on the development of autoimmune B-cell phenotypes and autoantibodies in the BXD2 murine model of lupus using a cohort of backcrossed progeny (BXD2 x C57BL/6J) x BXD2. Sex was the key factor leading to increased total IgG, IgG2b, and autoantibodies. The percentage of T-betCD11c IgD activated naive B cells (aNAV) was higher in females and was associated with increased T-betCD11c IgD age-related B cells, FasGL7 germinal center B cells, Cxcr5Icos peripheral T-helper cells, and Cxcr5Icos follicular T-helper cells. IFN-β was elevated in females. Variation in aNAV cells was mapped to Chr 7 in a locus that shows significant interactions between the female sex and heterozygous B/D variant. Our results suggest that activation of naive B cells forms the basis for the female-predominant development of autoantibodies in lupus-susceptible BXD2 mice.
狼疮的主要特征包括 B 细胞激活和自身抗体产生增加，且女性居多。我们使用狼疮 BXD2 小鼠模型的回交后代（BXD2 x C57BL/6J）x BXD2 队列，定量分析了性别和遗传变异对自身免疫性 B 细胞表型和自身抗体发展的影响。性别是导致总 IgG、IgG2b 和自身抗体增加的关键因素。T-betCD11c IgD 激活的幼稚 B 细胞（aNAV）在女性中比例更高，与 T-betCD11c IgD 年龄相关的 B 细胞、FasGL7 生发中心 B 细胞、Cxcr5Icos 外周辅助性 T 细胞和 Cxcr5Icos 滤泡辅助性 T 细胞的增加有关。女性 IFN-β 水平升高。aNAV 细胞的变异映射到 Chr 7 上的一个位点，该位点显示女性性别和杂合 B/D 变异之间存在显著的相互作用。我们的研究结果表明，幼稚 B 细胞的激活是狼疮易感 BXD2 小鼠中女性为主的自身抗体发展的基础。
