    Abstract Cells of the innate immune system are rigged with sensors that detect nucleic acids derived from microbes, especially viruses. It has become clear that these same sensors that respond to nucleic acids derived from damaged cells or defective intracellular processing are implicated in triggering diseases such as lupus and arthritis. The ways in which cells die and the concomitant presence of proteins and peptides that allow nucleic acids to re-enter cells profoundly influence innate immune responses. In this review, we briefly discusses different types of programmed necrosis, such as pyroptosis, necroptosis, and NETosis, and explains how nucleic acids can engage intracellular receptors and stimulate inflammation. Host protective mechanisms that include compartmentalization of receptors and nucleases as well as the consequences of nuclease deficiencies are explored. In addition, proximal and distal targets in the nucleic acid stimulation of inflammation are discussed in terms of their potential amenability to therapy for the attenuation of innate immune activation and disease pathogenesis.

    Abstract Cells are equipped with numerous sensors that recognize nucleic acids, which probably evolved for defence against viruses. Once triggered, these sensors stimulate the production of type I interferons and other cytokines that activate immune cells and promote an antiviral state. The evolutionary conserved enzyme cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is one of the most recently identified DNA sensors. Upon ligand engagement, cGAS dimerizes and synthesizes the dinucleotide second messenger 2',3'-cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), which binds to the endoplasmic reticulum protein stimulator of interferon genes (STING) with high affinity, thereby unleashing an inflammatory response. cGAS-binding DNA is not restricted by sequence and must only be >45 nucleotides in length; therefore, cGAS can also be stimulated by self genomic or mitochondrial DNA. This broad specificity probably explains why the cGAS-STING pathway has been implicated in a number of autoinflammatory, autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases; this pathway might also be activated during acute and chronic kidney injury. Therapeutic manipulation of the cGAS-STING pathway, using synthetic cyclic dinucleotides or inhibitors of cGAMP metabolism, promises to enhance immune responses in cancer or viral infections. By contrast, inhibitors of cGAS or STING might be useful in diseases in which this pro-inflammatory pathway is chronically activated.

    Abstract Purpose and methods: B cell-activating factor (BAFF) contributes to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Although several anti-BAFF Abs and derivatives have been developed for the treatment of SLE, the specific sources of BAFF that sustain autoantibody (auto-Ab) producing cells have not been definitively identified. Using BAFF-RFP reporter mice, we identified major changes in BAFF-producing cells in two mouse spontaneous lupus models (
    Results: First, we confirmed that similar to their wildtype
    Conclusions: Our findings underscore the importance of considering the relative roles of specific myeloid BAFF sources and B cell niches when developing treatments for SLE and other BAFF-associated autoimmune diseases.
