Abstract

Chronic and aberrant nucleic acid sensing causes type I IFN–driven autoimmune diseases, designated type I interferonopathies. We found a significant reduction of regulatory T cells (T regs ) in patients with type I interferonopathies caused by mutations in ADAR1 or IFIH1 (encoding MDA5). We analyzed the underlying mechanisms using murine models and found that T reg -specific deletion of Adar1 caused peripheral T reg loss and scurfy -like lethal autoimmune disorders. Similarly, knock-in mice with T reg -specific expression of an MDA5 gain-of-function mutant caused apoptosis of peripheral T regs and severe autoimmunity. Moreover, the impact of ADAR1 deficiency on T regs is multifaceted, involving both MDA5 and PKR sensing. Together, our results highlight the dysregulation of T reg homeostasis by intrinsic aberrant RNA sensing as a potential determinant for type I interferonopathies.
