Spontaneously developed germinal centers (GCs [Spt-GCs]) harbor autoreactive B
cells that generate somatically mutated and class-switched pathogenic
autoantibodies (auto-Abs) to promote autoimmunity. However, the mechanisms that
regulate Spt-GC development are not clear. In this study, we report that B
cell-intrinsic IFN-? receptor (IFN-?R) and STAT1 signaling are required for
Spt-GC and follicular T helper cell (Tfh cell) development. We further
demonstrate that IFN-?R and STAT1 signaling control Spt-GC and Tfh cell formation
by driving T-bet expression and IFN-? production by B cells. Global or B
cell-specific IFN-?R deficiency in autoimmune B6.Sle1b mice leads to
significantly reduced Spt-GC and Tfh cell responses, resulting in diminished
antinuclear Ab reactivity and IgG2c and IgG2b auto-Ab titers compared with
B6.Sle1b mice. Additionally, we observed that the proliferation and
differentiation of DNA-reactive B cells into a GC B cell phenotype require B
cell-intrinsic IFN-?R signaling, suggesting that IFN-?R signaling regulates GC B
cell tolerance to nuclear self-antigens. The IFN-?R deficiency, however, does not
affect GC, Tfh cell, or Ab responses against T cell-dependent foreign antigens,
indicating that IFN-?R signaling regulates autoimmune, but not the foreign
antigen-driven, GC and Tfh cell responses. Together, our data define a novel B
cell-intrinsic IFN-?R signaling pathway specific to Spt-GC development and
autoimmunity. This novel pathway can be targeted for future pharmacological
intervention to treat systemic lupus erythematosus.
