Interleukin 5 regulation of peritoneal Ly‐1 B lymphocyte proliferation, differentiation and autoantibody secretion

Abstract: The in vitro effects of recombinant interleukin (IL) 5 on proliferation and maturation of mouse Ly-1 B cells were studied. Most freshly isolated peritoneal Ly-1 B cells expressed high levels of IL5 receptor (R). Limiting dilution analyses showed that mitogens could reveal IL5 responsiveness in more than half of low density peritoneal Ly-1 B cells. IL 5 was able not only to increase the proportion of these Ly-1 B cells induced to proliferate, but it also shifted the clone size distribution of proliferating cell… Show more

“…Taken together, these findings suggest that the B-1a B cells in SMGs and NPs play key roles in the induction of TI Ag-specific mucosal IgA Ab responses in the oral-nasopharyngeal mucosa in addition to the gastrointestinal tract. The B-1 B cell subset has been shown to constitutively express IL-5R␣ (17,24) and to exhibit modest levels of proliferation and differentiation when treated with IL-5 (25)(26)(27). These studies clearly indicate that IL-5 plays a central role in B-1 B cell activation.…”

“…Importantly, IL-5 also induces proliferation and differentiation of B cells, particularly B-1 cells, which constitutively express the IL-5 receptor (31,(43)(44)(45). Accordingly, IL-5 transgenic mice have (in addition to eosinophilia) increased numbers of B-1 cells in the peritoneal cavity and elevated levels of serum IgM and IgA (46), while IL-5Rα -/-mice do not show IL-5-induced enhancement of B cell responses to TI type 2 (TI-2) antigens (47).…”

“…Although many stimuli, including antigen, LPS and cytokines, have been demonstrated to activate B-1 cells, the exact physiological triggers during an orchestrated immune response are not clear. IL-5 specifically plays a role in stimulating IgM secretion by B-1 cells (43,49). Moreover, IL-10 seems to be involved in B-1 cell activation as well (44,50), although partially in an autocrine manner (51), whereas IL-12 has been shown to inhibit B-1 cell proliferation (52).…”
