BackgroundUltraviolet (UV) B irradiation is known to suppress contact hypersensitivity (CHS) responses in mouse models by suppressing immune responses. However, the cellular mechanisms responsible for UVB‐induced systemic suppression remain unclear. Regulatory B cells have been reported to play an inhibitory role during CHS. It is presently unknown whether regulatory B cells contribute to the effect of UVB phototherapy.ObjectiveTo investigate the inductive effect of UVB on regulatory B cells and the underlying mechanisms by using a CHS mouse model.MethodsCHS was induced with oxazolone, and evaluated by histopathology, flow cytometry, and quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction.ResultWe found that UVB irradiation induced regulatory B cell expansion and ameliorated CHS. UVB‐induced regulatory B cells contribute to systemic immunosuppression by inhibiting the proliferation of T cells. Moreover, we determined that toll‐like receptor (TLR) 4, the expression of which was upregulated in B cells after UVB exposure, played an essential role in the induction of regulatory B cells.ConclusionOur data identified regulatory B cells as regulators of UVB‐induced immunosuppression in CHS, and suggest the importance of the UVB–TLR4 axis in the generation of regulatory B cells.
