Experiments with B cell-deficient (B-/-) mice indicate that a number of
autoimmune diseases require B cells in addition to T cells for their development.
Using B-/- Non-obese diabetic (NOD) and NOD.H-2h4 mice, we demonstrated that
development of spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis (SAT), Sjogren's syndrome and
diabetes do not develop in B-/- mice, whereas all three diseases develop in B
cell-positive wild-type (WT) mice. B cells are required early in life, since
reconstitution of adult mice with B cells or autoantibodies did not restore their
ability to develop disease. B cells function as important antigen presenting
cells (APC) to initiate activation of autoreactive CD4+ effector T cells. If B
cells are absent or greatly reduced in number, other APC will present the
antigen, such that Treg are preferentially activated and effector T cells are not
activated. In these situations, B-/- or B cell-depleted mice develop the
autoimmune disease when T regulatory cells (Treg) are transiently depleted. This
review focuses on how B cells influence Treg activation and function, and briefly
considers factors that influence the effectiveness of B cell depletion for
treatment of autoimmune diseases.
