PD-1 is a novel regulator of human B-cell activation
Abstract
The outcome of the adaptive immune response is determined by the integration of both positive and negative signals, respectively, induced upon the triggering of co-signaling receptors. One of them, programmed cell death 1 (PDCD1/PD-1) has largely been shown to be involved in the negative regulation of T-cell activation. However, PD-1 is also expressed on human B cells, and its role(s) in the process of human B-cell activation remains uncertain thus far. In this study, we describe the expression of PD-1 on the major human B-cells subsets isolated from peripheral blood and lymph nodes. We showed that PD-1 was expressed on naive B cells, was differentially expressed on peripheral IgM memory as compared with memory B cells and was lost on germinal center B cells. Expression of PD-1 ligands (PD-Ls) was induced by TLR9 activation. Finally, we showed that PD-1 was recruited to the B-cell receptor upon triggering. We determined that during TLR9 activation, blockade of PD-1/PD-Ls pathways indeed increased B-cell activation, proliferation and the production of inflammatory cytokines. Altogether, our results show, that, as reported in T cells, PD-1/PD-Ls complexes acted as inhibitors of the B-cell activation cascade and highlight the importance of devising future therapies able to modulate lymphocyte activation through the targeting of the PD-1/PD-Ls pathways.

“Since other cell types (such as dendritic cells and B cells) can also be influenced by PD-1 signaling, inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway may also have T cell-independent effects, whose impact on immune responses during checkpoint inhibitor therapy remain to be elucidated (36, 58).”

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.
