The relevance of regulatory B cells in the maintenance of tolerance in healthy individuals or in patients with immune disorders remains understudied. In healthy individuals, CD19(+)CD24(hi)CD38(hi) B cells suppress CD4(+)CD25(-) T cell proliferation as well as the release of interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha by these cells; this suppression is partially mediated through the production of interleukin-10 (IL-10). We further elucidate the mechanisms of suppression by CD19(+)CD24(hi)CD38(hi) B cells. Healthy CD19(+)CD24(hi)CD38(hi) B cells inhibited naive T cell differentiation into T helper 1 (T(H)1) and T(H)17 cells and converted CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells into regulatory T cells (T-regs), in part through the production of IL-10. In contrast, CD19(+)CD24(hi)CD38(hi) B cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) failed to convert CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells into functionally suppressive T-regs or to curb T(H)17 development; however, they maintained the capacity to inhibit T(H)1 cell differentiation. Moreover, RA patients with active disease have reduced numbers of CD19(+)CD24(hi)CD38(hi) B cells in peripheral blood compared with either patients with inactive disease or healthy individuals. These results suggest that in patients with active RA, CD19(+)CD24(hi)CD38(hi) B cells with regulatory function may fail to prevent the development of autoreactive responses and inflammation, leading to autoimmunity.
