    Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells and trigger downstream immune responses to antigen while integrating cellular pathogen and damage-associated molecular pattern (PAMP and DAMP) or immunomodulatory signals. In healthy individuals, resting and tolerogenic DCs draining skin and intestine facilitate expansion of regulatory T cells (Treg) to maintain peripheral antigen-specific immune tolerance. In patients with rheumatic diseases, however, DCs activated by PAMPs and DAMPs expand self-reactive effector T cells, including follicular helper T cells that promote the expansion of activated autoreactive B cells, chronic inflammation and end-organ damage. With the development of cellular and nanoparticle (NP)-based self-antigen-specific immunotherapies we here consider the new opportunities and the challenges for restoring immunoregulation in the treatment and prevention of autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic conditions through DCs.

    Abstract Immunology research holds significant potential for enhanced inclusivity at the beginning of the science literacy journey, but persistent challenges stem from limited awareness that improvement is needed in this field. At the 2023 Monash Sensory Science Exhibition, we had the opportunity to present several tactile posters, using simple materials, for visually impaired participants to showcase our research on the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis as a result of immune tolerance breakdown and liposome-based tolerogenic immunotherapy. The posters stimulated lively discussions about autoimmune arthritic diseases and our research. With consideration of the diversity of the participants, the efforts of scientists in promoting science literacy for the community can promote a more inclusive environment and engage and inspire a broader audience.

    Abstract Autoimmune rheumatic diseases are characterised by an autoimmune inflammatory response to antigens of synovial tissue, muscles, and other organs. While the prognosis of these disorders has improved remarkably over recent years with the advent of biological therapeutics, prolonged drug-free remission is still rare. Advances in the understanding of the immunopathogenesis and response to immunotherapy of seropositive autoimmune rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis systemic lupus erythematosus, type 1 diabetes and the autoimmune-like celiac disease have revealed novel therapeutic opportunities. An improved understanding of preclinical disease states and how disease risk can be mitigated underpins further development of therapeutics to restore tolerance for disease prevention or early disease interception.

    Abstract Type 1 diabetes and Graves' disease are chronic autoimmune conditions, characterized by a dysregulated immune response. In Type 1 diabetes, there is beta cell destruction and subsequent insulin deficiency whereas in Graves' disease, there is unregulated excessive thyroid hormone production. Both diseases result in significant psychosocial, physiological, and emotional burden. There are associated risks of diabetic ketoacidosis and hypoglycaemia in Type 1 diabetes and risks of thyrotoxicosis and orbitopathy in Graves' disease. Advances in the understanding of the immunopathogenesis and response to immunotherapy in Type 1 diabetes and Graves' disease have facilitated the introduction of targeted therapies to induce self-tolerance, and subsequently, the potential to induce long-term remission if effective. We explore current research surrounding the use of antigen-specific immunotherapies, with a focus on human studies, in Type 1 diabetes and Graves' disease including protein-based, peptide-based, dendritic-cell-based, and nanoparticle-based immunotherapies, including discussion of factors to be considered when translating immunotherapies to clinical practice.

    Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic complex systemic autoimmune disease characterized by multiple autoantibodies and clinical manifestations, with the potential to affect nearly every organ. SLE treatments, including corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs, have greatly increased survival rates, but there is no curative therapy and SLE management is limited by drug complications and toxicities. There is an obvious clinical need for safe, effective SLE treatments. A promising treatment avenue is to restore immunological tolerance to reduce inflammatory clinical manifestations of SLE. Indeed, recent clinical trials of low-dose IL-2 supplementation in SLE patients showed that

    Abstract Purpose of review: Antigen-specific immunotherapy is a major goal for improvement in the treatment of autoimmune rheumatic disease. Dendritic cells are professional antigen-presenting cells, abundant at mucosal surfaces and in tissues. They also play a critical role in self-tolerance. This review covers recent advances in the field of dendritic cells as targets or therapeutics in rheumatic autoimmune disease.
    Recent findings: Key themes include the phenotypic and functional characterization, lineage relationships and transcription factors involved in the development of the various dendritic cell subsets. Phenotype and function of mouse and human subsets has now been much better mapped. Progress in the elucidation of targeting ligands and routes for induction of antigen-specific tolerance using either antigen-antibody fusion constructs or particulate conjugates is described. Various inflammatory molecules made by dendritic cells, including type I interferon, are important therapeutic targets in autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Approaches to block this and clinical trials in this area are discussed.
    Summary: There are considerable basic science developments in the field of dendritic cells and tolerance that will speed translation to human of the large amount of knowledge generated in mouse in-vivo systems. Various antigen-specific therapy approaches are in the process of translation to the clinic.
