Abstrakt: In tuberculosis, T cell-mediated immunity is extensively studied whilst B cells received limited attention in human and mice. Of interest, Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) does increase IL-4 Receptor-alpha (IL4Rα) expression in murine B cells. To better understand the role of IL4Rα signalling in B cells, we compared wild type mice with B cell-specific IL4Rα deficient mice (mb1 cre IL-4Rα -/lox mice). Chronic Mtb aerosol infection in mb1 cre IL-4Rα -/lox mice reduced lung and spleen bacterial burdens, compared to littermate (IL-4Rα -/lox ) control animals. Consequently, lung pathology, inflammation and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression were reduced in the lungs of mb1 cre IL-4Rα -/lox mice, which was also accompanied by increased lung IgA and decreased IgG1 levels. Furthermore, intratracheal adoptive transfer of wild-type B cells into B cell-specific IL4Rα deficient mice reversed the protective phenotype. Moreover, constitutively mCherry expressing Mtb showed decreased association with B cells from mb1 cre IL-4Rα -/lox mice ex vivo . In addition, supernatants from Mtb -exposed B cells of mb1 cre IL-4Rα -/lox mice also increased the ability of macrophages to produce nitric oxide, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF. Together, this demonstrates that IL-4-responsive B cells are detrimental during the chronic phase of tuberculosis in mice with perturbed antibody profiles, inflammatory cytokines and tnf and stat1 levels in the lungs.
