Anti-carbohydrate antibody responses, including those of anti-blood group ABO antibodies, are yet to be thoroughly studied in humans. Because anti-ABO antibody-mediated rejection is a key hurdle in ABO-incompatible transplantation, it is important to understand the cellular mechanism of anti-ABO responses. We aimed to identify the main human B cell subsets that produce anti-ABO antibodies by analyzing the correlation between B cell subsets and anti-ABO antibody titers.
Blood group A-binding B cells were analyzed in peritoneal fluid and peripheral blood samples from 43 patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis and 18 healthy volunteers with blood group B or O. The correlation between each blood group A-specific B cell subset and anti-A antibody titer was then analyzed using Pearson's correlation analysis.
Blood group A-binding B cells were enriched in CD27CD43CD1c B1, CD5 B1, CD11b B1, and CD27CD43CD1c marginal zone-B1 cells in peripheral blood. Blood group A-specific B1 cells (=0.029 and R=0.356 for IgM; =0.049 and R=0.325 for IgG) and marginal zone-B1 cells (=0.011 and R=0.410 for IgM) were positively correlated with anti-A antibody titer. Further analysis of peritoneal B cells confirmed B1 cell enrichment in the peritoneal cavity but showed no difference in blood group A-specific B1 cell enrichment between the peritoneal cavity and peripheral blood.
Human B1 cells are the key blood group A-specific B cells that have a moderate correlation with anti-A antibody titer and therefore constitute a potential therapeutic target for successful ABO-incompatible transplantation.
抗碳水化合物抗体反应,包括抗血型 ABO 抗体,在人类中尚未得到充分研究。由于抗 ABO 抗体介导的排斥反应是 ABO 不相容移植的关键障碍,因此了解抗 ABO 反应的细胞机制很重要。我们旨在通过分析 B 细胞亚群与抗 ABO 抗体滴度之间的相关性,来确定产生抗 ABO 抗体的主要人类 B 细胞亚群。
分析了 43 名接受腹膜透析的患者和 18 名血型 B 或 O 的健康志愿者的腹腔液和外周血样本中的血型 A 结合 B 细胞。然后使用 Pearson 相关分析分析了每个血型 A 特异性 B 细胞亚群与抗 A 抗体滴度之间的相关性。
在外周血中,血型 A 结合 B 细胞富集于 CD27CD43CD1c B1、CD5 B1、CD11b B1 和 CD27CD43CD1c 边缘区-B1 细胞中。血型 A 特异性 B1 细胞(=0.029 和 R=0.356 用于 IgM;=0.049 和 R=0.325 用于 IgG)和边缘区-B1 细胞(=0.011 和 R=0.410 用于 IgM)与抗 A 抗体滴度呈正相关。对腹腔 B 细胞的进一步分析证实了腹腔内 B1 细胞的富集,但在腹腔和外周血之间,血型 A 特异性 B1 细胞的富集没有差异。
人类 B1 细胞是产生与抗 A 抗体滴度中度相关的关键血型 A 特异性 B 细胞,因此构成成功 ABO 不相容移植的潜在治疗靶点。
