AbstractThe role of B cells in viral myocarditis (VMC) remains controversial. In order to establish a role and mechanism of action for B cells in acute VMC, we established an acute VMC mouse model by intraperitoneal injection of Coxsackie virus group B type 3 (CVB3). At day 7, mice were analyzed using myocardial histopathology, and the presence of M2 macrophages in spleen and heart. Mice were divided into four groups, all having a C57BL/6 background: control group; wild-type (WT) VMC; mMt/mMt (−/−) VMC (BKO), and BKO + B cell VMC. A role for B cells was demonstrated by a significant reduction in myocardial pathological score and an increase in the frequency of M2 macrophages in the BKO group, when compared to the WT group. Once BKO mice underwent B cell reconstitution with isolated WT B cells, the myocardial pathological score was increased significantly, while the frequency of M2 macrophages decrease. Our findings demonstrate that B cells increase myocardial inflammation by suppressing M2 polarization in acute VMCin vivo.
