Genetic dissection of a major haplotype associated with autoimmune disease, FcγR2b and FcγR3 act additively
Genetic dissection of a major haplotype associated with autoimmune disease, FcγR2b and FcγR3 act additively
A haplotype with tightly linked Fc gamma receptor (FcγR) genes is known as a major locus controlling immune responses and autoimmune diseases, including arthritis. Here, we split a congenic fragment derived from the NOD mouse (Cia9) to study its effect on immune response and arthritis in mice. We found that arthritis susceptibility was indeed controlled by the FcγR gene cluster and a recombination between the FcγR2b and FcγR3 loci gave us the opportunity to separately study their impact. We identified the NOD‐derived FcγR2b and FcγR3 alleles as disease‐promoting for arthritis development without impact on antibody secretion. We further found that macrophage‐mediated phagocytosis was directly correlated to FcγR3 expression in the congenic mice. In conclusion, we positioned FcγR2b and FcγR3 alleles as disease regulatory and showed that their genetic polymorphisms independently and additively control innate immune cell activation and arthritis.

Abstract
A haplotype with tightly linked Fc gamma receptor (FcγR) genes is known as a major locus controlling immune responses and autoimmune diseases, including arthritis. Here, we split a congenic fragment derived from the NOD mouse (Cia9) to study its effect on immune response and arthritis in mice. We found that arthritis susceptibility was indeed controlled by the FcγR gene cluster and a recombination between the FcγR2b and FcγR3 loci gave us the opportunity to separately study their impact. We identified the NOD‐derived FcγR2b and FcγR3 alleles as disease‐promoting for arthritis development without impact on antibody secretion. We further found that macrophage‐mediated phagocytosis was directly correlated to FcγR3 expression in the congenic mice. In conclusion, we positioned FcγR2b and FcγR3 alleles as disease regulatory and showed that their genetic polymorphisms independently and additively control innate immune cell activation and arthritis.
