Immune suppression by regulatory T cells and regulatory B cells is a critical
mechanism to limit excess inflammation and autoimmunity. IL-10 is considered the
major mediator of B cell-induced immune suppression. We report a novel mechanism
for immune suppression through adenosine generation by B cells. We identified a
novel population of B cells that expresses CD73 as well as CD39, two ectoenzymes
that together catalyze the extracellular dephosphorylation of adenine nucleotides
to adenosine. Whereas CD39 expression is common among B cells, CD73 expression is
not. Approximately 30-50% of B-1 cells (B220(+)CD23(-)) and IL-10-producing B
(B10) cells (B220(+)CD5(+)CD1d(hi)) are CD73(hi), depending on mouse strain,
whereas few conventional B-2 cells (B220(+)CD23(+)AA4.1(-)) express CD73. In
keeping with expression of both CD73 and CD39, we found that CD73(+) B cells
produce adenosine in the presence of substrate, whereas B-2 cells do not.
CD73(-/-) mice were more susceptible to dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS)-induced
colitis than wild type (WT) mice were, and transfer of CD73(+) B cells
ameliorated the severity of colitis, suggesting that B cell CD73/CD39/adenosine
can modulate DSS-induced colitis. IL-10 production by B cells is not affected by
CD73 deficiency. Interestingly, adenosine generation by IL-10(-/-) B cells is
impaired because of reduced expression of CD73, indicating an unexpected
connection between IL-10 and adenosine and suggesting caution in interpreting the
results of studies with IL-10(-/-) cells. Our findings demonstrate a novel
regulatory role of B cells on colitis through adenosine generation in an
IL-10-independent manner.
