Sjef Verbeek,‖,1 and Sachiko Hirose*,1 C57BL/6 (B6).FcgRIIb2/2.Yaa mice spontaneously develop lethal lupus nephritis. To define the cell type–specific role of FcgRIIb in Yaa-associated lupus, we established B cell– (CD19Cre.Yaa), myeloid cell– (C/EBPaCre.Yaa), and dendritic cell– (DC) (CD11cCre.Yaa) specific FcgRIIb-deficient B6.Yaa mouse strains. CD19Cre.Yaa mice developed milder lupus than B6.FcgRIIb2/2. Yaa mice, indicating that FcgRIIb deficiency on B cells is not sufficient for the development of severe disease. Surprisingly, Downloaded from C/EBPaCre.Yaa mice also showed autoantibody production and mild lupus similar to that in CD19Cre.Yaa mice, whereas CD11cCre.Yaa mice stayed disease free. These observations indicate that FcgRIIb deficiency in B cells and myeloid cells, but not DCs, contributes to the severe disease in B6.FcgRIIb2/2.Yaa mice. Flow cytometric analysis showed that the frequency of peripheral Gr-12 but not Gr-1+ monocyte was increased in B6.FcgRIIb2/2.Yaa and C/EBPaCre.Yaa but not CD19Cre.Yaa mice, suggesting a link between FcgRIIb deficiency on myeloid cells and the high frequency of Gr-12 monocytes. RNA sequencing revealed that compared with Gr-1+ monocytes, Gr-12 monocytes expressed higher levels of the B cell–stimulating cytokines http://www.jimmunol.org/ BSF-3, IL-10, and IL-1b, the DC markers CD11c, CD83, and Adamdec1, and the antiapoptotic factors Bcl2 and Bcl6. In conclusion, in Yaa-associated lupus nephritis, FcgRIIb on B cells and myeloid cells modulates B cell activation via different but synergistic pathways. Gr-12 monocytes are the most likely candidate myeloid cells involved.
