Expansion of FasL-Expressing CD5+ B Cells in Type 1 Diabetes Patients

چکیده
Fas ligand drives insulitis in the non-obese diabetic mouse model of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and negatively regulates IL-10-producing (IL-10pos) CD5+ B cells in pancreata. Relevance of these phenomena to the human disease is poorly understood. Here, using splenocytes from T1D, autoantibody (Ab+), and non-diabetic (ND) human subjects, we show that a subpopulation of CD5+ B cells that is characterized by expression of FasL (FasLhiCD5+) was significantly elevated in T1D subjects, many of whom had significantly reduced frequency of IL-10posCD5+ B cells compared to Ab+ subjects. The majority of FasLhiCD5+ B cells did not produce cytokines and were more highly resistant to activation-induced cell death than their IL-10posCD5+ counterparts. These results associate expansion of FasL-expressing CD5+ B cells with T1D and lay the groundwork for future mechanistic studies to understand specific role in disease pathogenesis.

Beyond their critical role in humoral immunity, B lymphocytes can employ a variety of immunomodulatory mechanisms including expression of the apoptosis-inducing molecule Fas ligand (FasL; CD178). Here, we extensively characterized the surface phenotype of FasL(+) killer B cells, showing they are enriched in the IgM(high)CD5(+)CD1d(high) B cell subset previously reported to contain a higher freq...

Background: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder, which its main feature is the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. In this disease, apoptosis is impaired in endometrial cells transmitted to the peritoneal cavity, and thus these cells remain in ectopic sites and grow there. FasL-expressing cells induce apoptosis when they bind to Fas-bearing immune cells. Solubl...

INTRODUCTION The objective was to study immune regulation in a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis that exhibits considerable heterogeneity of disease activity. METHODS T-cell receptor transgenic mice, in which nearly all CD4+ T cells recognize a single peptide of type II collagen, were immunized with collagen and observed for development of arthritis for 4 weeks. At 28 days post-immunization...

In autoimmune type 1 diabetes, Fas–to–Fas-ligand (FasL) interaction may represent one of the essential proapoptotic pathways leading to a loss of pancreatic b-cells. In the advanced stages of type 2 diabetes, a decline in b-cell mass is also observed, but its mechanism is not known. Human islets normally express FasL but not the Fas receptor. We observed upregulation of Fas in b-cells of type 2...
متن کاملIL-9-induced expansion of B-1b cells restores numbers but not function of B-1 lymphocytes in xid mice.
Mice expressing the X-linked immunodeficiency (xid) mutation lack functional Bruton's tyrosine kinase and were shown to be specifically deficient in peritoneal B-1 lymphocytes. We have previously shown that IL-9, a cytokine produced by TH2 lymphocytes, promotes B-1 cell expansion in vivo. To determine whether IL-9 overexpression might compensate the xid mutation for B-1 lymphocyte development, ...
