High-dose bee venom exposure induces similar tolerogenic B-cell responses in allergic patients and healthy beekeepers

Abstract: This study provides the first detailed characterization of allergen-specific B cells before and after bee venom tolerance induction. The observed B-cell responses in both venom immunotherapy-treated patients and naturally exposed beekeepers suggest a similar functional immunoregulatory role for B cells in allergen tolerance in both groups. These findings can be investigated in other AIT models to determine their potential as biomarkers of early and successful AIT responses.

“…These data clearly indicate that high doses of allergen exposure promote PLA‐specific Bregs expansion both in healthy beekeepers and bee venom allergic patients during AIT, suggesting the IL‐10‐producing Bregs might well play important functional roles in the induction and maintenance of allergen tolerance. In addition, it has been recently shown that PLA‐specific Bregs upregulate CCR5 expression, a marker expressed by Tregs that is needed for migration to inflamed tissues, in both healthy beekeepers and patients undergoing AIT after venom exposure . The overexpression of solely IL‐10 on human B cells demonstrated the importance of IL‐10 in Breg cells with the induction of a prominent immunoregulatory profile comprising upregulation of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), glycoprotein A repetitions predominant (GARP), the IL‐2 receptor α chain (CD25), and programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD‐L1).…”

“…T‐regulatory (Treg) cell subsets have distinct phenotypes and include constitutive and inducible subsets of CD4 + CD25 + Forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) + Treg cells and type 1 Treg cells (Tr1). As a second major player in immune regulation, IL‐10–producing B‐regulatory (Breg) cells have also been demonstrated to suppress allergen‐specific responses and promote IgG4 isotype antibodies . Allergen tolerance in high‐dose–exposed individuals such as beekeepers and cat owners, the AIT response, and protective effects of farm exposure make up one of the most representative areas where Treg and Breg cells display their major roles .…”
