PROJECT SUMMARY Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune disease that results in the development of severe itch and blisters. It is the most common form of autoimmune blistering disease and is overrepresented in the elderly. Treatment for bullous pemphigoid relies on the use of immunosuppression, which given the high prevalence of medical comorbidities in this group, results in one-year mortality rates ranging from 13% to 27%. Bullous pemphigoid is caused by the development of antibodies against collagen XVII leading to blister formation and the development of inflammation. Loss of self-tolerance to collagen XVII, especially in the aging immune system, is thought to lead to development of BP. Parkinson's disease and pre-existing pruritus both independently impose strong predisposition towards the development of bullous pemphigoid, likely through autoinoculation with collagen XVII. Understanding the mechanism of collagen XVII autoinoculation not only provides insight into the pathogenesis of bullous pemphigoid, but offers significant insight into the immune response in Parkinson's disease. We propose two discrete hypotheses, 1) that scratching induced skin barrier damage or 2) neuroinflammation seen in Parkinson's disease are sufficient to autoinoculate collagen XVII in a tolerant with minimal T-cell tolerance. To test this hypothesis, we propose utilizing a novel animal model. We have used CRISPR-Cas9 to develop a mouse expressing a LoxP-PolyA-LoxP sequence upstream of exon 18, the coding region of the NC15a domain of collagen XVII. This domain corresponds with the human NC16a domain, which serves as the principle autoantigen in BP. When crossed to a tamoxifen inducible Cre-Lox mouse model, restoration of collagen XVII expression occurs in early adulthood, bypassing T-cell tolerance once unmasked. With inflammation and antigen unmasking through scratching or experimentally induced Parkinson's disease, we anticipate development of antigen-specific CD4+ T-cells and autoantibodies against collagen XVII. Two specific aims are proposed: 1) Determine the impact of scratching behaviors on the development of anti- collagen XVII autoantibodies, antigen-specific CD4+ T-cells, and the development of BP. 2) Determine the effect of neuroinflammation in experimental Parkinsonism in inducing cutaneous autoimmunity against collagen XVII. This project will provide significant insight into both the role of scratching and neuroinflammation in antigen unmasking. This proposal is likely to have strong translational potential across several disease processes and organ systems. Our novel approach provides a valuable tool for studying the immune response in Parkinson's disease, as well as for studying other autoimmune diseases with well-characterized autoantigens.

项目摘要 大疱性类天疱疮（BP）是一种自身免疫性疾病，导致严重瘙痒和水泡的发展。 它是最常见的自身免疫性水疱病，在老年人中比例过高。治疗 对于大疱性类天疱疮依赖于使用免疫抑制剂，这是由于高患病率的医疗 该组中的合并症导致1年死亡率范围为13%至27%。大疱性类天疱疮 由抗胶原蛋白XVII的抗体的发展引起，导致水疱形成， 炎症的发展。对胶原蛋白XVII的自身耐受性丧失，特别是在衰老的免疫系统中， 这也是BP发展的原因。帕金森病和既存瘙痒症均独立 可能通过自身接种，对大疱性类天疱疮的发展产生强烈的易感性 胶原蛋白XVII了解胶原蛋白XVII自体接种的机制不仅提供了见解 大疱性类天疱疮的发病机制，但提供了重要的见解， 帕金森氏症。我们提出了两个独立的假设，1）抓挠引起皮肤屏障损伤， 2)帕金森氏病中所见的神经炎症足以在耐受的 最小的T细胞耐受性为了验证这一假设，我们提出利用一种新的动物模型。我们已经使用 CRISPR-Cas9以开发表达外显子18上游的LoxP-PolyA-LoxP序列的小鼠，外显子18的编码序列为： 胶原蛋白XVII的NC 15 a结构域的区域。该结构域对应于人NC 16 a结构域， 作为BP的主要自身抗原。当与他莫昔芬诱导的Cre-Lox小鼠模型杂交时， 胶原蛋白XVII表达的恢复发生在成年早期，一旦暴露就绕过T细胞耐受。 随着炎症和抗原通过抓挠或实验诱导的帕金森病暴露， 我们预期抗原特异性CD 4 + T细胞和抗胶原XVII的自身抗体的发展。两 提出了具体的目标：1）确定抓挠行为对抗- 胶原蛋白XVII自身抗体、抗原特异性CD 4 + T细胞和BP的发展。2)确定 实验性帕金森病神经炎症在诱导皮肤抗胶原自身免疫中作用 十七.这个项目将提供重要的洞察力，抓和神经炎症的作用， 抗原暴露这一提议可能在几种疾病中具有强大的转化潜力。 过程和器官系统。我们的新方法为研究免疫反应提供了有价值的工具 帕金森病，以及研究其他自身免疫性疾病， 自身抗原
