heal.abstractOBJECTIVE: Certain HLA class II alleles are associated with susceptibility to the development of arthritis. However, the development of arthritis in some persons carrying non-rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated alleles remains unexplained. An individual who is heterozygous for the DQA1 and DQB1 genes can express the DQ molecule in cis or trans heterodimers. In a cis heterodimer, the alpha-chain interacts with the beta-chain coded by the same chromosome, while in a trans heterodimer it interacts with the beta-chain on the other chromosome. In this study, we used a humanized mouse model of arthritis in an attempt to determine whether a trans heterodimer of 2 nonassociated alleles, DQB1*0601 and DQB1*0604, can predispose to arthritis. METHODS: DQB1*0601 and *0604 occur in linkage with DQA1*0103 and *0102, respectively. To understand the role of trans heterodimers, we generated DQB1*0604/DQA1*0103-transgenic mice lacking endogenous HLA class II molecules. RESULTS: Severe arthritis developed in the DQB1*0604/A1*0103-trangenic mice, and an antigen-specific response was generated in vitro. DQB1*0604/DQA1*0103 presented type II collagen-derived peptides that were not presented by the arthritis-resistant DQB1*0601 allele, suggesting that trans heterodimer molecules between 2 DQB1 and DQA1 molecules may result in the presentation of unique antigens and susceptibility to the development of arthritis. Molecular modeling of type II collagen peptides showed that DQB1*0604/DQA1*0103 shares a p4 pocket with the arthritis-susceptible DQB1*0302 allele, suggesting a critical role of the p4 and p9 pockets in susceptibility to arthritis. CONCLUSION: These results provide a possible explanation for the parental inheritance of nonsusceptibility alleles in some patients with RA and a mechanism by which they can predispose to the development of arthritis.en
