Popis: | Septic shock is accompanied by the development of immune dysfunctions whose intensity and duration are associated with increased risk of secondary infections and mortality. Although B lymphocytes play a pivotal role in the immune response to infections, no comprehensive exploration of circulating B cell status has been performed during the immunosuppressive phase of septic shock. Thus, our aim was to extensively characterize the phenotype and function of B cells in septic shock, including IL-10 production. Circulating B lymphocyte phenotype and function were evaluated by flow cytometry on fresh whole blood and after ex vivo stimulation in adult septic shock patients sampled at day 1, 3, and 6 after the onset of shock. The circulating B cell number was reduced in septic shock patients, whereas the B cell proportion among total lymphocytes was increased. The remaining circulating B lymphocytes presented with decreased MHC class II expression and increased CD21low CD95high exhausted-like phenotype but showed no change in maturation status. Circulating B cell functions were markedly altered after sepsis with reduced ex vivo activation and proliferation capacities. Finally, B cell response after septic shock was characterized by a clear plasmacytosis and an increased IL-10 production in remaining B cells from patients after ex vivo stimulation. During the sepsis-induced immunosuppression phase, B cell response is altered and is oriented toward an exhausted-like/immunoregulatory profile. Further studies are now needed to confirm the immunoregulatory properties of B lymphocytes and evaluate their role in sepsis-induced immunosuppression. |
