We used our monoclonal model of germinal center maturation, CL-01 B cells, to investigate the role of CD30 in human B cell differentiation. CL-01 cells are IgM+ IgD+ CD30+ and switch to IgG, IgA, and IgE when exposed to CD40L and IL-4. Switching is hampered by CD30 coengagement, possibly through interference with the CD40-mediated NF-kappaB-dependent transcriptional activation of downstream C(H) genes. The physiological relevance of this phenomenon is emphasized by similar CD30-mediated effects in naive B cells. Expression of CD30 by these cells is induced by CD40L but is inhibited by B cell receptor coengagement and/or exposure to IL-6 and IL-12. Our data suggest that CD30 critically regulates the CD40-mediated differentiation of non-antigen-selected human B cells.
我们利用生发中心成熟的单克隆模型CL-01 B细胞,来研究CD30在人类B细胞分化中的作用。CL-01细胞为IgM+ IgD+ CD30+,当暴露于CD40L和IL-4时会转换为IgG、IgA和IgE。CD30共刺激会阻碍这种转换,可能是通过干扰CD40介导的下游C(H)基因的NF-κB依赖性转录激活。幼稚B细胞中类似的CD30介导效应强调了这一现象的生理相关性。这些细胞中CD30的表达由CD40L诱导,但受B细胞受体共刺激和/或暴露于IL-6和IL-12的抑制。我们的数据表明,CD30关键地调节非抗原选择的人类B细胞的CD40介导的分化。
