In DNase II\u2013deficient mice, the excessive accrual of undegraded DNA leads to both a STING-dependent inflammatory arthritis and additional Unc93b1-dependent autoimmune manifestations, including splenomegaly, extramedullary hematopoiesis, and autoantibody production. In this study, we use bone marrow chimeras to show that clinical and histological inflammation in the joint depends upon DNase II deficiency in both donor hematopoietic cells and host radioresistant cells. Additional features of autoimmunity in these mice, known to depend on Unc93b1 and therefore endosomal TLRs, also require DNase II deficiency in both donor and host compartments, but only require functional TLRs in the hematopoietic cells. Collectively, our data demonstrate a major role of both stromal and hematopoietic cells in all aspects of DNA-driven autoimmunity. These findings further point to the importance of cytosolic nucleic acid sensors in creating an inflammatory environment that facilitates the development of Unc93b1-dependent autoimmunity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.1502130","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,5]],"date-time":"2016-01-05T01:49:04Z","timestamp":1451958544000},"page":"1348-1354","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Synergy between Hematopoietic and Radioresistant Stromal Cells Is Required for Autoimmune Manifestations of DNase II\u2212\/\u2212IFNaR\u2212\/\u2212 Mice"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"196","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7766-3422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rebecca","family":"Baum","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Department of Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School , Worcester, MA 01605"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kerstin","family":"N\u00fcndel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Department of Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School , Worcester, MA 01605"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sudesh","family":"Pawaria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Department of Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School , Worcester, MA 01605"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shruti","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Program in Innate Immunity, Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School , Worcester, MA 01605"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Busto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Department of Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School , Worcester, MA 01605"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katherine A","family":"Fitzgerald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Program in Innate Immunity, Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School , Worcester, MA 01605"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ellen M","family":"Gravallese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Department of Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School , Worcester, MA 01605"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ann","family":"Marshak-Rothstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Department of Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School , Worcester, MA 01605"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025030702125509700_r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1001310","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.ppat.1001310","article-title":"Innate immune sensing of DNA","volume":"7","author":"Sharma","year":"2011","journal-title":"PLoS Pathog."},{"key":"2025030702125509700_r2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"634","DOI":"10.1002\/eji.201344127","article-title":"Recognition of cytosolic DNA by cGAS and other STING-dependent sensors","volume":"44","author":"Bhat","year":"2014","journal-title":"Eur.
