    Abstract Purpose of review: New insight into altered B cell distribution including newly identified subsets and abnormalities in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as well as their role in immune protection are summarized in this review.
    Recent findings: SLE carries characteristic B cell abnormalities, which offer new insights into B cell differentiation and their disturbances including discoveries of pathogenic B cell subsets and intrinsic B cell abnormalities. A recent study in SLE found that antigen-experienced B cell subsets lacking expression of CD27 and IgD defined by their lack of CXCR5 and CD19low expression are expanded in SLE and represent plasmablasts likely escaping proper selection. In terms of therapeutic targeting with broader coverage than rituximab, second-generation anti-CD20, anti-CD38 and CD19-CART treatment experiences have advanced our understanding recently. However, the key role of qualitative and quantitative B cell requirements in connection with T cells became apparent during SARS-Cov2 infection and vaccination, especially in patients with gradual B cell impairments by rituximab, mycophenolate mofetil and cyclophosphamide.
    Summary: Identification and characterization relevant B cell subsets together with altered regulatory mechanisms in SLE facilitates new approaches in targeting pathogenic B cells but require consideration of preservation of protection.

    Abstract B cells are primarily known for their capacity to differentiate into antibody-secreting cells (ASCs). ASCs are usually viewed as terminally differentiated cells sharing a unique phenotype. However, it lately became evident that ASCs exist in a variety of subsets differing by their lifespan, anatomic location, and immunological function. Thus, ASCs can exist as long-lived plasma cells (LLPC) that can persist for years in a nonproliferating state within particular niches in the bone marrow (BM), or as short-lived plasma cells (SLPC) that are primarily found in secondary lymphoid organs or inflamed tissues and wane upon the termination of the associated immune response. Another layer of ASC diversity was uncovered with the discovery of their capacity to produce various pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines. Notably, a subset of natural regulatory plasma cells characterized by the distinctive expression of the inhibitory receptor lymphocyte activation gene (LAG)-3 and a unique capacity to produce interleukin (IL)-10 upon stimulation was recently identified. Here, we describe how to immunophenotypically characterize murine plasma cells as well as how to isolate them using cell sorting, with a special focus on these recently described natural regulatory plasma cells.

    Abstract B lymphocytes play a central role in immunity owing to their unique antibody-producing capacity that provides protection against certain infections and during vaccination. In autoimmune diseases, B cells can gain pathogenic relevance through autoantibody production, antigen presentation, and proinflammatory cytokine secretion. Recent data indicate that B and plasma cells can function as regulators through the production of immunoregulatory cytokines and/or employing checkpoint molecules. In this study, we review the key findings that define subsets of B and plasma cells with pathogenic and protective functions in autoimmunity. In addition to harsh B-cell depletion, we discuss the strategies that have the potential to reinstall the balance of pathogenic and protective B cells with the potential of more specific and personalized therapies.

    Abstract The bone marrow (BM) is, in addition to being the site of B cell development, a tissue that harbors long-lived plasma cells (PC), the cells that protect the body against foreign antigens by continuous production of antibodies. Nothing is known about the long-term stability and functionality of both B cells and PC in the BM at the individual donor level since repeated sampling possibilities outside of oncology are scarce. Here, we had the opportunity to obtain BM samples from a patient undergoing bilateral total hip arthroplasty half a year apart. We observed that the frequencies of the analyzed B cell and PC subsets were similar despite a time of six months in between and sampling on left and right side of the body. Additionally, B cell receptor stimulation led to comparable results. Our data suggest that composition and functionality of B cells are stable in the BM of adults at the individual donor level.

    Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterised by numerous abnormalities in B lineage cells, including increased CD27++ plasmablasts/plasma cells, atypical CD27-IgD- B cells with increased CD95, spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk)++, CXCR5- and CXCR5+ subsets and anergic CD11c+Tbet+ age-associated B cells. Most findings, together with preclinical lupus models, support the concept of B cell hyperactivity in SLE. However, it remains largely unknown whether these specific B cell subsets have pathogenic consequences and whether they provide relevant therapeutic targets. Recent findings indicate a global distortion of B cell functional capability, in which the entire repertoire of naïve and memory B cells in SLE exhibits an anergic or postactivated (APA) functional phenotype. The APA status of SLE B cells has some similarities to the functional derangement of lupus T cells. APA B cells are characterised by reduced global cytokine production, diminished B cell receptor (BCR) signalling with decreased Syk and Bruton's tyrosine kinase phosphorylation related to repeated in vivo BCR stimulation as well as hyporesponsiveness to toll-like receptor 9 engagement, but intact CD40 signalling. This APA status was related to constitutive co-localisation of CD22 linked to phosphatase SHP-1 and increased overall protein phosphatase activities. Notably, CD40 co-stimulation could revert this APA status and restore BCR signalling, downregulate protein tyrosine phosphatase transcription and promote B cell proliferation and differentiation. The APA status and their potential rescue by bystander help conveyed through CD40 stimulation not only provides insights into possible mechanisms of escape of autoreactive clones from negative selection but also into novel ways to target B cells therapeutically.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the expression of programmed death 1 (PD-1), PD ligand 1 (PD-L1), and PD-L2 by B cells from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at baseline and after in vitro stimulation and to analyze their functional relationship to B cell proliferation.
    Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from 29 SLE patients and 27 healthy donors were stimulated with interleukin-2 (IL-2)/IL-10, anti-B cell receptor (anti-BCR), CpG, and CD40L alone or in combination. Expression of PD-1, PD-L1, and PD-L2 on defined B cell subsets as well as on CD3+ T cells was analyzed by flow cytometry at baseline and after 48 hours of stimulation. Additionally, after 48 hours of stimulation, CD71 was evaluated as a proliferation marker on CD19+CD20+ B cells.
    Results: Increased PD-1 expression was characteristic of unstimulated lupus B cells and T cells. Upon stimulation of B cells with IL-2/IL-10, anti-BCR, CpG, and CD40L for 48 hours, the capacity of SLE B cells to up-regulate PD-L1 expression was substantially diminished (P = 0.0006) along with reduced B cell proliferation (P = 0.0039). Reduced PD-L1 expression was inversely correlated with the presence of the interferon signature (r = -0.8571, P < 0.0001) and the clinical SLE Disease Activity Index score (r = -0.5696, P = 0.0087).
    Conclusion: Post-activated, hyporesponsive lupus B cells are characterized by a phenotype of increased PD-1, functionally diminished PD-L1 up-regulation capacity, and reduced proliferation upon stimulation.

    Abstract Background: Durable vaccine-mediated immunity relies on the generation of long-lived plasma cells and memory B cells (MBCs), differentiating upon germinal center (GC) reactions. SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination induces a strong GC response in healthy volunteers (HC), but limited data is available about response longevity upon rituximab treatment.
    Methods: We evaluated humoral and cellular responses upon 3rd vaccination in seven patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who initially mounted anti-spike SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies after primary 2x vaccination and got re-exposed to rituximab (RTX) 1-2 months after the second vaccination. Ten patients with RA on other therapies and ten HC represented the control groups. As control for known long-lived induced immunity, we analyzed humoral and cellular tetanus toxoid (TT) immune responses in steady-state.
    Results: After 3
    Summary: On the basis of pre-existing affinity matured MBCs within primary immunisation, RTX re-exposed patients revealed a persistent but atypical GC immune response accompanied by boosted spike-specific memory CD4 T cells upon SARS-CoV-2 recall vaccination.
