Oxidized mitochondrial nucleoids released by neutrophils drive type I Interferon production in human lupus


ABSTRACT: Autoantibodies against nucleic acids and excessive type I Interferon (IFN) are hallmarks of human Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). We previously reported that SLE neutrophils, exposed to TLR7-agonist autoantibodies, release interferogenic DNA, which we now demonstrate to be of mitochondrial origin. We further show that healthy human neutrophils do not complete mitophagy upon induction of mitochondrial damage. Rather, they extrude mitochondrial components, including DNA (mtDNA), devoid of oxidized residues. When MtDNA undergoes oxidation, it is directly routed to lysosomes for degradation. This rerouting requires dissociation from the transcription factor TFAM, a dual high mobility group (HMG) protein involved in maintenance and compaction of the mitochondrial genome into nucleoids. Exposure of SLE neutrophils, or healthy IFNprimed neutrophils, to anti-RNP autoantibodies blocks TFAM phosphorylation, a necessary step for nucleoid dissociation. Consequently, oxidized nucleoids accumulate within mitochondria and are eventually extruded as potent interferogenic complexes. In support of the in vivo relevance of this phenomenon, mitochondrial retention of oxidized nucleoids is a feature of SLE blood neutrophils, and autoantibodies against oxidized mtDNA are present in a fraction of patients. This pathway represents a novel therapeutic target in human SLE.
