Key Points All populations of foreign Ag-specific B cells cross-react with self-antigens. Moderate cross-reactivity to self-antigen promotes optimal naive B cell response. Visual Abstract Upon Ag exposure, naive B cells expressing BCR able to bind Ag can undergo robust proliferation and differentiation that can result in the production of Ab-secreting and memory B cells. The factors determining whether an individual naive B cell will proliferate following Ag encounter remains unclear. In this study, we found that polyclonal naive murine B cell populations specific for a variety of foreign Ags express high levels of the orphan nuclear receptor Nur77, which is known to be upregulated downstream of BCR signaling as a result of cross-reactivity with self-antigens in vivo. Similarly, a fraction of naive human B cells specific for clinically-relevant Ags derived from respiratory syncytial virus and HIV-1 also exhibited an IgMLOW IgD+ phenotype, which is associated with self-antigen cross-reactivity. Functionally, naive B cells expressing moderate levels of Nur77 are most likely to proliferate in vivo following Ag injection. Together, our data indicate that BCR cross-reactivity with self-antigen is a common feature of populations of naive B cells specific for foreign Ags and a moderate level of cross-reactivity primes individual cells for optimal proliferative responses following Ag exposure.

与自身抗原的交叉反应调节外来抗原特异性的幼稚 B 细胞的功能潜力

要点 所有外来 Ag 特异性 B 细胞群都会与自身抗原发生交叉反应。对自身抗原的中度交叉反应可促进最佳初始 B 细胞反应。视觉摘要 暴露于 Ag 后,表达能够结合 Ag 的 BCR 的幼稚 B 细胞会经历强大的增殖和分化,从而产生分泌抗体和记忆 B 细胞。决定个体幼稚 B 细胞是否会在 Ag 遭遇后增殖的因素仍不清楚。在这项研究中,我们发现对多种外源 Ag 具有特异性的多克隆幼稚鼠 B 细胞群表达高水平的孤儿核受体 Nur77,众所周知,由于与自身的交叉反应,Nur77 在 BCR 信号下游被上调。体内抗原。相似地,一部分对源自呼吸道合胞病毒和 HIV-1 的临床相关抗原具有特异性的初始人类 B 细胞也表现出 IgMLOW IgD+ 表型,这与自身抗原交叉反应相关。在功能上,表达中等水平 Nur77 的幼稚 B 细胞最有可能在注射 Ag 后在体内增殖。总之,我们的数据表明,BCR 与自身抗原的交叉反应是特异性针对外源 Ag 的幼稚 B 细胞群体的一个共同特征,中等水平的交叉反应使单个细胞在 Ag 暴露后产生最佳增殖反应。在注射银后,表达中等水平 Nur77 的幼稚 B 细胞最有可能在体内增殖。总之,我们的数据表明,BCR 与自身抗原的交叉反应是特异性针对外源 Ag 的幼稚 B 细胞群的一个共同特征,中等水平的交叉反应使单个细胞在 Ag 暴露后产生最佳增殖反应。在注射银后,表达中等水平 Nur77 的幼稚 B 细胞最有可能在体内增殖。总之,我们的数据表明,BCR 与自身抗原的交叉反应是特异性针对外源 Ag 的幼稚 B 细胞群的一个共同特征,中等水平的交叉反应使单个细胞在 Ag 暴露后产生最佳增殖反应。
