Supplemental Figure 4. Alteration of the MKL1/MKL2/SRF pathway in BXD2 mice that were treated with LTβR-Fc or are deficient of

IFNAR. MZMs were sorted by flow cytometry from the spleens of 2.5-mo-old BXD2 mice that were treated with PBS or LTβR-Fc (injected i.v. with 25

μg sLTβR-Fc), and BXD2-Ifnar‒⁄‒ mice treated with PBS. Mice were sacrificed 10 hrs following the treatment. RNA was isolated via a TRIzol

method (Invitrogen). (A) Gene array upstream pathway analysis of genes regulated by MKL1, MKL2 and SRF in sorted MZMs from vehicle-

vs LTβR-Fc-administered BXD2 mice or BXD2-Ifnar+/+ vs. BXD2-Ifnar‒⁄‒ mice. Gene expression analysis was performed using the mouse WG-

6 BeadChip and iScan system from Illumina, Inc. Total RNA was converted to cDNA by reverse transcription, followed by second-strand

synthesis to generate double-stranded cDNA. After purification, the cDNA was converted to biotin-labeled cRNA, hybridized to a mouse WG-6

BeadChip and stained with strepavidin-Cy3 for visualization. The mouse WG-6 BeadChips contain sequences representing approximately

45,200 curated and putative genes and ESTs. Quality standards for hybridization, labeling, staining, background signal, and basal level of

housekeeping gene expression for each chip were verified. After scanning the probe array, the resulting image was analyzed using

GenomeStudio software (v2011.1, Illumina, Inc.). Gene lists were further analyzed using GeneSpring version 12.1 (Agilent) software. Data

were analyzed through the use of Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA, Ingenuity® Systems, www.ingenuity.com). Upstream Regulator Analysis

from IPA was used to identify the upstream regulators that were responsible for gene expression changes observed in the data. The

activation z-score (an algorithm designed to reduce the chance that random data will generate significant predictions) identifies upstream

regulators that can explain observed gene expression changes in the data, and predicts the activation state of the upstream regulators. An

absolute z-score ≥ 2 is considered significant. Predictions where both the z-score is significant (absolute value ≥ 2) and the p-value is

significant (<10E-3) are the most reliable predictions. The results were obtained from a pool of 2 mouse spleens per chip from each group for 2

chips from BXD2 mice and 1 chip from the other 2 groups). The P value for each comparison is shown. (B) qRT-PCR analysis of

representative genes that are regulated by the MKL-SRF axis in sorted MZMs from the indicated strains. All data are mean ± SEM from each

group (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.005 between the indicated groups. n = 2-3 mice per group for 2 independent experiments, Student’s t-

test). The full name of each gene is shown in Supplementary Table 1.

Supplemental Figure 8. Decreased percent and abnormal actin polymerization in MZMs from Mkl1‒⁄‒ mice after mixed BM

reconstitution. (A) Mixed bone marrow chimeric mice were generated by reconstitution of equal numbers (107) of Group 1 (CD45.1

[WT]:CD45.2 [WT] BM cells) or Group 2 (CD45.1 [WT]:CD45.2 [Mkl1‒⁄‒] BM cells into B6-Rag1‒⁄‒ mice (6-weeks-old) and analyzed 1 or 4 months

later. (B) FACS analysis of the percent of MZMs derived from either WT or Mkl1‒⁄‒ donor BMs. MZMs were gated as CD11bloF4/80negSIGN-R1+I-

Ab- cells and were further gated to show the distribution of CD45.1 or CD45.2 donor cells. (C) Sequential ImageStream gating for the expression

of MKL1 and F-actin in recipient spleen MZMs 4 months following the transfer of BM derived from WT or Mkl1‒⁄‒ donors. Results are mean

percent of cells in the gated region ± SEM (n = 2-3 per group for 2 independent experiments, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.005 between

results from the indicated groups, Student’s t-test).

Supplemental Figure 9. Liposome-CCG100602 administration resulted in increased IgG deposition in kidney glomeruli.

B6 and BXD2 mice (3-mo-old) were administered i.v. every other day for 4 weeks with liposome-CCG-100602 (100 μg/mouse) or control

liposome-PBS. Mice were sacrificed 4 weeks later at 4 months of age. (A) Florescence microscopic imaging analysis of IgG+ glomeruli in

the kidney (objective lens, 4). (B) Boxed regions in Panel A are digitally magnified to show a higher power view of the selected region.

(C) ImageJ analysis of the intensity of IgG in each glomerulus. A representative histogram quantitating the IgG intensity in a

representative glomerulus is shown. At least 20 glomeruli were quantitated for each kidney section. Numbers represent mean intensity of

green fluorescent ± SEM (*P < 0.05 or ** P < 0.01 between the indicated comparisons. n ≥ 6 mice/group, Student’s t-test).

Supplemental Figure 10. Type I IFN disrupts the LTβR/MKL1/F-actin axis leading to defective mechanoreceptor signaling for AC

clearance of spleen MZMs.

ACs are normally taken up by scavenger receptors (SR), such as MARCO and SIGN-R1, on MZMs. This process normally leads to

tolerogenic signals and decreased AC autoantigens. In lupus, increased interactions of ACs with pDCs in the MZ leads to type I IFN-induced

follicular translocation of MZ B cells that disrupts the ability of MZ B cells to signal via mLT through mLTβR on MZMs. Decreased LTβR

signaling in MZMs leads to decreased expression and nuclear translocation of MKL1 and defects in SRF. MKL1 is normally localized in the

cytoplasm by binding to cytoplasmic G-actin. Mechanical stimulation triggers actin polymerization, liberating MKL1 from G-actin, increasing

its nuclear import and accumulation of MKL1, where it co-activates SRF to turn on genes regulating cellular motility and contractility,

including vinculin, actin, and SRF. MKL1 and SRF regulate efficient development of endolysosomal vacuoles important for uptake of ACs. In

addition, defects in the MKL1/SRF pathway in MZMs leads to altered expression of other genes that can affect function and survival of

MZMs. Defects in F-actin polymerization and AC uptake leads to increased ACs and AC debris which further accentuates follicular

translocation of MZ B cells. Also, defects in MKL1 and SRF pathways in MZMs lead to first, their loss of AC uptake function and later,

decreased MZM survival and loss of MZMs.
