Regulatory B cells that inhibit immune responses through interleukin-10 (IL-10) secretion (B10 cells) have been characterized in adults with autoimmune disease. This study examines B10 cells across the entire age range of normal human development, and their changes during pediatric autoimmunity. The phenotype and numbers of blood B10 cells were examined in healthy individuals and children with autoimmunity by flow cytometry. B10 cell function was assessed by measuring the effect of B cell-derived IL-10 on CD4+ T cell interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) expression. Serum cytokine levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). B10 cell frequencies transiently increase during childhood when up to 30% of B cells were competent to produce IL-10, compared to the low frequencies in healthy newborns (3–4%) and adults (7–%). The surface phenotype of B10 cells in children revealed age-dependent variability. B10 cells from children were distinct from proinflammatory cytokine-producing B cells and down-regulated CD4+ T cell IFN-γ production in vitro. Compared to age-matched healthy controls, children with autoimmunity had lower B10 cell frequencies and numbers (decreased by 39% and 48%, respectively), higher IFN-γ and lower interleukin-21 (IL-21) serum levels. IFN-γ inhibited whereas IL-21 promoted B cell IL-10 competence in vitro. B10 cells, a functionally-defined subset with variable surface phenotype reflective of overall B cell development, transiently expand during childhood. The decreased B10 cell frequencies and numbers in children with autoimmunity may be partially explained by the differential regulation of B10 cell development by IFN-γ and IL-21 and alterations in serum cytokine levels.
