Qin M, Chen Y, Wang X, Zhang X, Pan X. Dexmedetomidine induces IL-10 secretion by B lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Immunobiology 2024; 229:152842. [PMID: 39154383 DOI: 10.1016/j.imbio.2024.152842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM To investigate the distribution of subpopulations of peripheral blood B lymphocytes in individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on B lymphocyte differentiation in patients with HCC in vitro. METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from the HCC group and the healthy group, and the distribution of peripheral blood B-lymphocyte subpopulations in the two groups was examined by Flow Cytometry (FCM). B lymphocytes extracted from the peripheral blood of the HCC group were divided into D0, D1, D2 and D4 groups according to the different dose of DEX in the culture medium (0 μM, 1 μM, 2 μM and 4 μM). After 72 h of in vitro culture, FCM was used to detect differences in the percentage of apoptotic B lymphocytes and the percentage of B lymphocytes that can express interleukin 10(IL-10) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in each group. RESULTS In contrast to the healthy group, the HCC group exhibited a statistically significant increase in the proportion of CD19 + CD73 + B lymphocyte subpopulation (P<0.05). In the in vitro culture experiment, the differences in apoptosis of B lymphocytes and the percentage of TGF-β expression in each group were not statistically significant; When compared to the control group, there was a significant increase in the percentage of B lymphocytes expressing IL-10 across the D1, D2, and D4 groups (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The peripheral blood of HCC patients is characterized by an elevated presence of CD19 + CD73 + B lymphocyte subpopulations; DEX may have an immunosuppressive effect by promoting IL-10 secretion from peripheral blood B lymphocytes of HCC patients.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease that predominantly affects young males. AS is a condition in which the spine and sacroiliac joints become inflamed. More specifically, most AS patients experience spine malformations over time, resulting in functional incapability. The etiopathogenesis of AS is a complex combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Extensive studies on AS have revealed the central role of genetics and immune reactions in its etiology. However, an utmost agreement has yet to be created. The available evidence suggests that both autoinflammation and T-cell-mediated autoimmune processes have significant roles in the disease process of AS. So far, B cells have obtained moderately little attention in AS pathogenesis, primarily because of the absence of disease-defining autoantibodies. However, against general dogma, evidence is mounting showing B cell involvement. Disruptions depict this in circulating B cell populations, the increased expression of immunoglobulin (Ig)G, IgA, and IgM, and B cell infiltration within the axial skeleton of AS patients. Meanwhile, compared to many other inflammatory autoimmune disorders, AS has no disease-specific autoantibodies that help disease diagnosis. This study has provided an overview of the B lymphocytes and antibodies' role in AS pathogenesis. It also introduces autoantibodies that can be the prognosis and diagnosis biomarkers of AS.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, defined by a clinical relapse-remitting course. Affecting people worldwide, the origin of IBD is still undefined, arising as a consequence of the interaction between genes, environment, and microbiota. Although the root cause is difficult to identify, data clearly indicate that dysbiosis and pathogenic microbial taxa are connected with the establishment and clinical course of IBD. The composition of the microbiota is shaped by plasma cell IgA secretion and binding, while cytokines such as IL10 or IFN-γ are important fine-tuners of the immune response in the gastrointestinal environment. B cells may also influence the course of inflammation by promoting either an anti-inflammatory or a pro-inflammatory milieu. Here, we discuss IgA-producing B regulatory cells as an anti-inflammatory factor in intestinal inflammation. Moreover, we specify the context of IgA and IgG as players that can potentially participate in mucosal inflammation. Finally, we discuss the role of B cells in mouse infection models where IL10, IgA, or IgG contribute to the outcome of the infection.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that a particular group of nucleated cells that exhibit erythroid markers (TER119 in mice and CD235a in humans) possess the ability to suppress the immune system and promote tumor growth. These cells are known as CD45+ erythroid progenitor cells (EPCs). According to our study, it appears that a subset of these CD45+ EPCs originate from B lymphocytes. Under conditions of hypoxia, mouse B lymphoma cells are capable of converting to erythroblast-like cells, which display phenotypes of CD45+TER119+ cells, including immunosuppressive effects on CD8 T cells. Furthermore, non-neoplastic B cells have similar differentiation abilities and exert the same immunosuppressive effect under anemia or tumor conditions in mice. Similar B cells exist in neonatal mice, which provides an explanation for the potential origin of immunosuppressive erythroid cells in newborns. Additionally, CD19+CD235a+ double-positive cells can be identified in the peripheral blood of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. These findings indicate that some CD45+ EPCs are transdifferentiated from a selective population of CD19+ B lymphocytes in response to environmental stresses, highlighting the plasticity of B lymphocytes. We anticipate a potential therapeutic implication, in that targeting a specific set of B cells instead of erythroid cells should be expected to restore adaptive immunity and delay cancer progression.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, regulatory B cells (Breg cells or Bregs) have emerged as an immunosuppressive subset of B lymphocytes playing a key role in inflammation, infection, allergy, transplantation, and cancer. However, the involvement of Bregs in various pathological conditions of the gastrointestinal tract is not fully understood and is the subject of much recent research. In this review, we aimed to summarize the current state of knowledge about the origin, phenotype, and suppressive mechanisms of Bregs. The relationship between the host gut microbiota and the function of Bregs in the context of the disturbance of mucosal immune homeostasis is also discussed. Moreover, we focused our attention on the role of Bregs in certain diseases and pathological conditions related to the digestive tract, especially Helicobacter pylori infection, parasitic diseases (leishmaniasis and schistosomiasis), and gastrointestinal neoplasms. Increasing evidence points to a relationship between the presence and number of Bregs and the severity and progression of these pathologies. As the number of cases is increasing year by year, also among young people, it is extremely important to understand the role of these cells in the digestive tract.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by destruction of the myelin sheath structure. The loss of myelin leads to damage of a neuron’s axon and cell body, which is identified as brain lesions on magnetic resonance image (MRI). The pathogenesis of MS remains largely unknown. However, immune mechanisms, especially those linked to the aberrant lymphocyte activity, are mainly responsible for neuronal damage. Th1 and Th17 populations of lymphocytes were primarily associated with MS pathogenesis. These lymphocytes are essential for differentiation of encephalitogenic CD8+ T cell and Th17 lymphocyte crossing the blood brain barrier and targeting myelin sheath in the CNS. B-lymphocytes could also contribute to MS pathogenesis by producing anti-myelin basic protein antibodies. In later studies, aberrant function of Treg and Th9 cells was identified as contributing to MS. This review summarizes the aberrant function and count of lymphocyte, and the contributions of these cell to the mechanisms of MS. Additionally, we have outlined the novel MS therapeutics aimed to amend the aberrant function or counts of these lymphocytes.

Front Immunol 2022; 13:975551. [PMID: 35983056 PMCID: PMC9378787 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.975551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Regulatory B cells have important roles in inflammation and autoimmune diseases. A newly discovered subpopulation of B cells with a CD19hiFcγRIIbhi phenotype inhibits the proliferation of CD4+ T cells by secreting interleukin (IL)-10. The expansion of CD19hiFcγRIIbhi B cells in mouse spleen can be induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or CpG oligodeoxynucleotide stimulation. However, the mechanism of CD19hiFcγRIIbhi B cell expansion and its role in inflammatory diseases are unclear. Here, we report that, under inflammatory conditions, the proliferation and immunosuppressive function of CD19hiFcγRIIbhi B cells were decreased in high mobility group box1 (HMGB1) C106A mutant mice, compared with wild-type mice. The HMGB1 (C106A) mutation in B cells reduced STAT3 phosphorylation, restricting the expansion and suppressive function of CD19hiFcγRIIbhi B cells. Compared with CD19hiFcγRIIbhi B cells from wild-type mice, CD19hiFcγRIIbhi B cells from Hmgb1(C106A) mice significantly reduced the survival of mice with sepsis. Recombinant HMGB1 promoted the expansion of IL-10-producing CD19hiFcγRIIbhi B cells among LPS-activated B cells in vitro. Furthermore, the percentage of CD19hiFcγRIIbhi regulatory B cells in the peripheral blood was increased in patients with sepsis, compared with healthy controls. These findings implicate the role of HMGB1 in the expansion and immunosuppressive function of CD19hiFcγRIIbhi B cells.

Abstract
The immune response is of great significance in the initiation and progression of a diversity of cardiovascular diseases involving pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Interleukin-35 (IL-35), a cytokine of the interleukin-12 family, is a novel anti-inflammation and immunosuppressive cytokine, maintaining inflammatory suppression and regulating immune homeostasis. The role of IL-35 in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has aroused enthusiastic attention, a diversity of experimental or clinical evidence has indicated that IL-35 potentially has a pivot role in protecting against cardiovascular diseases, especially atherosclerosis and myocarditis. In this review, we initiate an overview of the relationship between Interleukin-35 and cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, abdominal aortic aneurysm, heart failure, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion, aortic dissection and myocarditis. Although the specific molecular mechanisms entailing the protective effects of IL-35 remain an unsolved issue, targeted therapies with IL-35 might provide a promising and effective solution to prevent and cure cardiovascular diseases.
