Effects of sotrastaurin, mycophenolic acid and everolimus on human B-lymphocyte function and activation

Abstract: Summary Humoral rejection processes may lead to allograft injury and subsequent dysfunction. Today, only one B‐cell‐specific agent is in clinical use and the effects of standard and new immunosuppressant substances on B‐cell activation and function are not fully clarified. The impact of sotrastaurin, mycophenolic acid and everolimus on human B‐lymphocyte function was assessed by analysing proliferation, apoptosis, CD80/CD86 expression and immunoglobulin and IL‐10 production in primary stimulated B cells.

“…71 The fact that mTOR inhibitors are able to prevent the in vitro production of Ig with equal efficiency when human B cells are cultured with preactivated or not preactivated T cells further shows that mTOR inhibitors, in contrast with CNIs, have a direct effect on B cells. 65,72 This concept is also validated by the results of a recent study that compared the effects of CNI and mTOR inhibitors on B cells from healthy volunteers. Only sirolimus was able to inhibit the proliferation of B cells and their differentiation into plasma cells.…”

“…93 Similar findings have been reported in the T/B coculture model. 65,72 As expected, however, the drug has no effect on terminally differentiated plasma cells, 93 suggesting that it can only prevent (but not cure) AMR.…”

“…A recurrent issue in such a study is the effect of immunosuppressive treatments. Different immunosuppressive drugs are potent inhibitors of human B lymphocyte function and activation . Nevertheless, none of our patients was under these particular drugs and the decreased expression of XBP1 in late differentiated B cells from tolerant recipients was not shared by HV, suggesting that the effect of treatment was not involved in this process.…”

“…And there was 31- and 8.8-folds increased risk of developing all- and high-grades pneumonia when compared to controls. Additionally, the mTOR inhibitors were potent immunosuppressants and showed strong effects on the B-cell functions, CD80 and CD86 expression, proliferation, IgG/IgM and cytokine production in a dose-dependent manner [41], [42]. As a result, the use of mTOR inhibitors was associated with increased risk of infection due to immunosuppression.…”
