Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is the autoimmune disease associated with the higher risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma. To determine the nature of B cells driving lymphoproliferation in pSS. B cell subsets and function were analyzed in peripheral blood from 66 adult patients with pSS [including 14 patients with B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD)] and 30 healthy donors, using flow cytometry, calcium mobilization, and gene array analysis. We tested by ELISA the reactivity of recombinant antibodies isolated from single B cells from pSS-LPD. We report here the expansion of an unusual CD21-/low B-cell population which correlates with lymphoproliferation in pSS patients. A majority of CD21–/low B cells from pSS patients expressed autoreactive antibodies, which recognized nuclear and cytoplasmic structures. These B cells belonged to the memory compartment because their immunoglobulin genes were mutated. They were unable to induce calcium flux, become activated, or proliferate in response to B-cell receptor and/or CD40 triggering, suggesting that these autoreactive B cells may be anergic. However, CD21–/low B cells from pSS remained responsive to TLR stimulation. Gene array analyses of CD21–/low B cells revealed molecules specifically expressed in these B cells and that are likely to induce their unresponsive stage. pSS patients who display high frequencies of autoreactive and unresponsive CD21-/low B cells are susceptible for developing lymphoproliferation. These cells remain in peripheral blood controlled by functional anergy instead of being eliminated, and chronic antigenic stimulation through TLR stimulation may create a favorable environment for breaking tolerance and activating these cells.
