Background: Most patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) present with severely reduced switched memory B-cell counts, and some display an increase of CD21 (low) B-cell counts (CVID 21low), whereas others do not (CVID 21norm). Altered B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling might contribute to the defective memory formation observed in patients with CVID.Objective: We sought to investigate canonical nuclear factor of kappa light chain (NF-kappa B) signaling in B cells from patients with CVID as a central pathway in B-cell differentiation.Methods: Degradation of inhibitor of kappa B alpha (I kappa B alpha) and p65 phosphorylation, nuclear translocation of p65, and regulation of target genes and cell function were investigated after different modes of B-cell stimulation.Results: BCR-mediated canonical NF-kappa B signaling was impaired in all mature naive CVID-derived B cells. This impairment was more profound in naive B cells from CVID 21low patients than CVID 21norm patients and most pronounced in CD21 (low) B cells. The signaling defect translated into reduced induction of Bcl-xL and I kappa B alpha, 2 bona fide target genes of the canonical NF-kappa B pathway. CD40 ligand-and Toll-like receptor 9-mediated signaling were less strongly altered. Signaling in CD21 (low) B cells but not CD21 (+) B cells of patients with HIV was similarly affected.Conclusion: Combined with the previous description of disturbed Ca (2+) signaling, the discovery of NF-kappa B signaling defects, especially in CVID 21low patients, suggests a broad underlying signaling defect affecting especially BCR-derived signals. Given the immune phenotype of monogenic defects affecting Ca (2+) and NF-kappa B signaling, the latter is more likely to contribute to the humoral deficiency. The strongly disturbed BCR signaling of CD21 (low) B cells is characteristic for this cell type and independent of the underlying disease.
