OBJECTIVES: Despite the involvement of B cells in the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases (IMDs), biological mechanisms underlying their function are scarcely understood. To overcome this gap, here we constructed and investigated a large-scale repertoire catalogue of five B cell subsets of patients with IMDs.
METHODS: We mapped B cell receptor regions from RNA sequencing data of sorted B cell subsets. Our dataset consisted of 595 donors under IMDs and health. We characterised the repertoire features from various aspects, including their association with immune cell transcriptomes and clinical features and their response to belimumab treatment.
RESULTS: Heavy-chain complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR-H3) length among naïve B cells was shortened among autoimmune diseases. Strong negative correlation between interferon signature strength and CDR-H3 length was observed in naïve B cells and suggested the role for interferon in premature B cell development. VDJ gene usage was skewed especially in plasmablasts and unswitched-memory B cells of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We developed a scoring system to quantify this skewing, and it positively correlated with peripheral helper T cell transcriptomic signatures and negatively correlated with the amount of somatic hyper mutations in plasmablasts, suggesting the association of extrafollicular pathway. Further, this skewing led to high usage of IGHV4-34 gene with 9G4 idiotypes in unswitched-memory B cells, which showed a prominent positive correlation with disease activity in SLE. Gene usage skewing in unswitched-memory B cells was ameliorated after belimumab treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Our multimodal repertoire analysis enabled us the system-level understanding of B cell abnormality in diseases.
