Background: Patients with Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) are characterized by ANCA reactivity towards proteinase 3 (PR3), have PR3 deposition in granulomatous lesions and show increased neutrophil membrane PR3 expression, which inhibits apoptotic cell phagocytosis by macrophages. At the heart of the granuloma are multinucleate giant cells (MNGC). We tested whether persistent and excessive enzymatically active or inactive PR3 expression in GPA, may underlie giant cell and granuloma formation.Methods: In vitro model was created by isolating PBMCs and monocytes from healthy controls (n= 15), GPA (n= 15) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA)(n= 10) patients. Cells were stimulated with either enzymatically active (aPR3) or inactive PR3 (iPR3) or control auto-antigen myeloperoxidase (MPO). Light, epifluorescence and confocal microscopy was used to confirm cell fusion at different time points using dual cell and membrane labelling. Scanning electron microscopy was also used. In vivo model was generated in Danio rerio. Transgenic (Mpeg cherry: GFP) zebrafish at 24 hours post-fertilization were injected with enzymatically active or inactive PR3 or albumin. Fish were imaged by lightsheet microscopy 6 days later. Co-localisation of T cells was also tested by immunostaining.Results: Monocyte aggregation and giant cell formation occurred following stimulation with both aPR3 and iPR3 with a fusion index (p< 0.001) in GPA patients compared to MPA patients and healthy controls. Typical granuloma were observed using PBMC preparations with a greater fusion index (p< 0.001) in GPA patients. There was no significant difference between aPR3 and iPR3. No effect was seen with MPO. Supernatant profiling implicated the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines, particularly IL-6. In zebrafish (n= 9/group), both aPR3 and iPR3 were associated with a significant increase in aggregate volume (p< 0.001) when compared to albumin injected controls (figure 1). Importantly, IL-6 inhibition was associated with a significant reduction in aggregate volume (p< 0.01).Conclusion: These models support a role for antigenic PR3 in promoting monocyte and macrophage fusion and granuloma formation in vitro and in vivo, and provide an opportunity to test specific therapeutics in potentially high throughout model systems.Disclosures: National Institute of Health Research, UKVasculitis UK.Abstract 217 Figure 1Abstract 217 Figure 1
