Abstract

We generated a mouse line in which the src homology 2 domain–bearing protein tyrosine phosphatase (SHP)-2 binding site of gp130, tyrosine 759, was mutated to phenylalanine (gp130F759/F759). The gp130F759/F759 mice developed rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-like joint disease. The disease was accompanied by autoantibody production and accumulated memory/activated T cells and myeloid cells. Before the disease onset, the T cells were hyperresponsive and thymic selection and peripheral clonal deletion were impaired. The inhibitory effect of IL-6 on Fas ligand expression during activation-induced cell death (AICD) was augmented in gp130F759/F759 T cells in a manner dependent on the tyrosine residues of gp130 required for signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 activation. Finally, we showed that disease development was dependent on lymphocytes. These results provide evidence that a point mutation of a cytokine receptor has the potential to induce autoimmune disease.

  • Enhancement of IL-6-STAT3 signaling causes IL-17A-dependent autoimmune arthritis in mice.

    “On the other hand, the enhancement of IL-6–STAT3 signaling causes IL-17A-dependent autoimmune arthritis in mice (41, 63, 66).”

    From IL-6 in inflammation, autoimmunity and cancer (2021) · cites this paper as [63]

    The Introduction reports that gp130 mutant mice have enhanced STAT3 signaling and spontaneously develop lymphocyte-dependent arthritis; the Discussion links augmented gp130-mediated STAT3 activation to autoimmune joint disease. The paper does not establish that the arthritis is IL-17A-dependent: its Discussion identifies a requirement for lymphocytes, not IL-17A (searched: IL-17A, interleukin 17, Th17). (LLM, conf=0.89)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
