Refractory B cell responses to T cell-independent (TI) carbohydrate antigens (Ags) are critical drivers of rejection reactions to ABO-incompatible allogeneic grafts and xenogeneic grafts from other species. To explore the biological significance of crosstalk between Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and B cell receptors (BCRs) in the TI B cell immunity, we here used MyD88-, TRIF-, and α-galactosyltransferase-deficient mice to study B cell phenotypes and functional properties during TI transplant-related glycan-Ag exposure. BCR stimulation alone induced differentiation into CD5high (B-1a) cells, which were highly sensitive to a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI), while co-stimulation of TLRs and BCRs induced differentiation into CD5dim (B-1b) cells in MyD88-dependent and CNI-resistant manners. MyD88-dependent TLR stimulation in B-1b cells enhanced downstream factors in the BCR–calcineurin pathway, including a nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1). TLR inhibitor together with CNI abrogated refractory B-1b cell immune responses against the ABO-blood group Ags, while blocking both BCRs and TLRs–MyD88 by using Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor and histone deacetylase inhibitor abrogated refractory B-1b cell immune responses against Gal-glycan Ags. Thus, this study provides a rationale for a novel therapeutic approach to overcome refractory transplant-related anti-glycan Ab production by blocking both BCR and TLRs–MyD88 signals.
