The role of IL-21, produced mainly by T helper (Th) 17 cells and T follicular helper cells, has been intensively investigated in B cell differentiation and antibody class switch. However, how IL-21 regulates memory IgA+ B cell development and memory IgA responses in the intestines is still not completely understood. In this study, we found the total IgA+ B cells as well as CD38+CD138−IgA+ memory B cells were significantly increased in intestinal lamina propria (LP) of TCRβxδ−/− mice after transfer of microbiota antigen-specific Th17 cells but not Th1 cells. Although IL-21R−/− mice or IL-17R−/− mice showed decreased antigen-specific memory IgA production in the intestines upon infection with Citrobacter rodentium (C. rodentium), the percentage of IgA+CD38+CD138− memory B cells in Peyer’s patches (PP) and LP was decreased only in IL-21R−/− mice, but not in IL-17R−/− mice, after re-infection with C. rodentium compared with WT mice. Blockade IL-21 in vivo suppressed intestinal C. rodentium-specific IgA production as well as IgA+CD38+CD138− memory B cells in PP and LP. Furthermore, IL-21 significantly induced B cell IgA production in vitro, with the increased expression of genes related with class-switching and memory B cell development, including Aicda, Ski, Bmi1, and Klf2. Consistently, Acida and Ski expression was decreased in B cells of IL-21R−/− mice after C. rodentium re-infection. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that IL-21 promotes intestinal memory IgA B cell development, possibly through up-regulating differentiation-related and class switching-related genes, indicating a potential role of IL-21 in memory IgA+ B cell responses in the intestines.
