Chronic Intestinal Inflammatory Condition Generates IL-10-Producing Regulatory B Cell Subset Characterized by CD1d Upregulation
Open accessAbstract
B cells possess a variety of immune functions that are involved in normal and abnormal immune responses, including autoimmune disorders. Through murine models of intestinal inflammation, we here demonstrate a B cell subset that is induced in gut-associated lymphoid tissues and is characterized by CD1d upregulation. This B cell subset appears under a chronic inflammatory environment, produces IL-10, and suppresses progression of intestinal inflammation by downregulating inflammatory cascades associated with IL-1 upregulation and STAT3 activation rather than by altering polarized T helper responses. This study indicates that B cells, by producing cytokines such as IL-10, can act as regulatory cells in immunologically mediated inflammatory reactions.

Bregs numbers and their suppressive abilities are often increased in response to chronic inflammation or autoimmune diseases.
“Bregs numbers and their suppressive abilities are often increased in response to chronic inflammation or autoimmune diseases [59,61].”
From Is there a role for B cells in Alzheimer's disease? (2026) · cites this paper as [61]
The Results (page unavailable) show that gut-associated B cells upregulated CD1d in mice with colitis, and transfer experiments show that these cells suppressed intestinal inflammation. The paper does not establish that Breg numbers and suppressive abilities are often increased across chronic inflammatory or autoimmune diseases; it reports no difference in the number of splenic CD1d-high B cells between diseased and control mice.

“Given that T cells also play critical regulatory roles during IBD development in mice, as well as in humans (1, 3), it is likely that B10 and regulatory Foxp3+ CD4+ T cells share complementary regulatory functions for IBD, as previously shown for experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (29).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
