We previously generated MRL/lpr mice deficient in the activation-induced deaminase (AID) who lack isotype switching and immunoglobulin hypermutation. These mice have high levels of unmutated (germline) autoreactive IgM yet experienced an increase in survival and an improvement in lupus nephritis that exceeded that of MRL/lpr mice lacking IgG. Herein, we test the hypothesis that high levels of germline autoreactive IgM in these mice confer protection against lupus nephritis. Autoreactive IgM antibodies of various specificities including against dsDNA from AID-deficient-MRL/lpr mice were given to asymptomatic MRL/lpr mice and the levels of cytokines, proteinuria, immune complex deposition in the kidneys, and glomerulonephritis were examined. Novel AID-deficient MRL/lpr mice that lack any antibodies were generated to compare to AID-deficient-MRL/lpr mice that secrete only IgM. Anti-dsDNA IgM treatment resulted in a dramatic improvement in lupus nephritis. Other autoreactive IgM’s such as anti-phospholipid and anti-Smith antigen did not alter pathology. Secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by macrophages, and the levels of inflammatory cells and apoptotic debris in the kidneys were lower in mice receiving anti-dsDNA IgM. Protective IgM derived from AID-deficient-MRL/lpr mice, displayed a distinct B cell repertoire, with a bias towards members of the Vh7183 family. Anti-dsDNA IgM protected MRL/lpr mice from lupus nephritis likely by stopping the inflammatory cascade leading to kidney damage. A distinct repertoire of Vh usage in anti-dsDNA IgM hybridomas from AID-deficient mice, suggests enrichment in these mice of a dedicated B cell population that secretes unmutated protective IgM.
