Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is the most prevalent orbital disease in adults caused by an autoimmune disorder, which can lead to disfigurement and vision impairment. Developing effective treatments for this condition presents challenges due our limited understanding of its underlying immune aberrations. In study, we profiled components peripheral blood patients with TAO as well healthy individuals, utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing B-cell receptor repertoires (BCR) analysis. We observed a significant reduction proportions regulatory B cells (Bregs) type 2 conventional dendritic (DCs) during active phase. Conversely, there was increase proportion 1 DCs. Further analysis cell differentiation trajectory revealed potential impairment transition towards Breg phenotype phase TAO. Besides, activation process appeared involve inflammation dysfunction, indicated dynamic changes activities key regulators. The abnormalities system, such reduced capacity Bregs suppress inflammation, were primarily driven enhanced interaction among Breg, DCs, monocytes (i.e., CD22-PTPRC BTLA-TNFRSF14).

B cells play a central role in the immune system through production of antibodies. During past two decades, it has become increasingly clear that also have capacity to regulate responses mechanisms extend beyond antibody production. Several types human and murine regulatory been reported suppress inflammatory autoimmune disease, allergy, infection, transplantation, cancer. Key suppressive molecules associated with B-cell function include cytokines IL-10, IL-35, TGF-β as well cell membrane-bound such programmed death-ligand 1, CD39, CD73, aryl hydrocarbon receptor. Regulatory can be induced by range different stimuli, including microbial products TLR4 or TLR9 ligands, IL-6, IL-1β, IFN-α, CD40 ligation. This review provides an overview our current knowledge on cells. We discuss cells, which they exert their functions, factors lead induction alteration diseases.

The aim of the following review is to shed light on putative role regulatory B cells (Bregs) in various human diseases and highlight their potential prognostic therapeutic relevance humans. Regulatory are a heterogeneous group lymphocytes capable suppressing inflammatory immune reactions. In this way, Bregs contribute maintenance tolerance homeostasis by limiting ongoing reactions temporally spatially. play an important attenuating pathological that can be associated with transplant rejection, graft-versus-host disease, autoimmune allergies but also infectious, neoplastic metabolic diseases. Early studies identified IL-10 as functional molecule, so IL-10-secreting murine B10 cell still considered prototype Breg, has long been central search for Breg equivalents. However, over past two decades, other molecules may immunosuppressive function have discovered, some which only present Bregs.
