UBA1-depleted neutrophils disrupt immune homeostasis and induce VEXAS-like autoinflammatory disease in mice.

VEXAS (Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, Autoinflammatory, Somatic) syndrome is a haemato-rheumatoid disease caused by somatic UBA1 mutations in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The pathogenic cell type(s) responsible for the syndrome are unknown and murine models recapitulating the disease are lacking. We report that loss of Uba1 in various mouse hematopoietic cell types resulted in pleiotropic consequences and demonstrate that murine mutants with about 70% loss of Uba1 in neutrophils induced non-lethal VEXAS-like symptoms.

Introduction: VEXAS syndrome (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic), recently described, due to a somatic mutation of the UBA1 gene and often associated with hemopathy, is characterized by systemic symptoms close to those described in Still's disease or relapsing polychondritis. There are also patients with hemopathy, presenting inflammatory symptoms reminiscent of those of VEXAS syndrome but without mutation of the UBA1 gene.

Case/discussion: Two male patients consulted for general signs, dermatological symptoms, arthralgia, chondritis and venous thrombosis, like patients in the French cohort suffering from VEXAS syndrome.

We did not identify any vacuole-related differences in circulating immature myeloid cells between VEXAS patients and UBA1-WT 'VEXAS-like' patients. The similar vacuolization of circulating immature myeloid cells between VEXAS and UBA1-WT patients is explained by the main bloodstream passage of late precursors, in which the vacuolization is already similar in bone marrow in both cases.

Article Synopsis
  • VEXAS syndrome is a newly identified inflammatory disorder linked to gene mutations, characterized by both inflammatory symptoms and blood-related issues, leading to complications in multiple organs and decreased life expectancy.
  • The review highlights the discovery of VEXAS, the genetics and immune response associated with it, as well as its diverse clinical presentations and how it can resemble other diseases.
  • Experts emphasize the need for standardized diagnostic criteria, in-depth genetic analysis for sporadic cases, and more research to establish effective treatment strategies and selection criteria for stem cell transplants in affected patients.
