- The mature B cell compartment consists of follicular and marginal zone (MZ) B cells, which develop from transitional type 2 (T2) B cells. TACI, a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, is expressed on all mature B cells, with highest levels on MZ B cells and plasma cells. Previous studies reported that TACI is a negative regulator of B cell survival. However, this conclusion is confounded by elevated levels of BAFF, a cytokine that supports B cell survival, in TACI-deficient mice. We now show that TACI does not directly regulate B cell survival in mice but rather has a cell-intrinsic role in MZ B cell development. Loss of TACI leads to reduced MZ B cell numbers and an impaired T-independent antibody response. Mechanistically, we show that TACI is required for MZ B cell development from T2 B cell precursors via activation of the PI3K-AKT pathway and subsequent inhibition of the FOXO1 transcription factor. - Source: PubMed

Yan ChenjueJiang LingHu YiboYou TingChen JingWu Songjiang - Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disease primarily affecting older individuals. B-cell activating factor (BAFF), a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily, is crucial for B cell survival and T cell function. However, its role in the development of BP remains unclear. - Source: PubMed

Aquaporins, a group of transmembrane channels, are known to help prime immune cells and their migration. In this study, a qRT-PCR analysis was performed to identify aquaporins whose expression in SLE patients was associated with the inflammatory profile of B cells. - Source: PubMed

Baharlooi HusseinEnayati SamanehAhmadzadeh NooshinMadreseh ElhamFaezi Seyedeh TaherehAlikhani MajidJamshidi AhmadrezaMahmoudi MahdiFarhadi Elham - B-cell activating factor belonging to the TNF family (BAFF), also known as B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS), plays a crucial role in B-cell development. It has multiple receptors, including BCMA, TACI, and BAFF-R, with diverse roles in different cell types. BAFF induces B-cell proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion, and acts as a survival factor for immature, naive, and activated B cells. Consequently, BAFF-deficient mice often show suppressed humoral responses, while BAFF-overexpressing mice show the higher number of mature B cells and may develop autoimmune-like manifestations and B-cell lymphoproliferative diseases. Elevated BAFF levels are also associated with various hematological malignancies, and its expression correlates with disease progression in some cases. Therefore, BAFF-targeted therapies, such as belimumab, atacicept, and tabalumab, are being explored in clinical trials for conditions like chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and multiple myeloma. Belimumab, an anti-BAFF monoclonal antibody, is being investigated in combination with rituximab/venetoclax for CLL. Atacicept, a decoy receptor for BAFF and APRIL, showed tolerability in a phase 1b trial for CLL. Tabalumab, another monoclonal antibody targeting BAFF, did not demonstrate significant efficacy in a phase 2 study for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. BAFF ligand-based CAR-T cells are designed to target BAFF receptors and show promise in preclinical studies, particularly for B-cell malignancies. The review emphasizes the importance of understanding the roles of BAFF and its receptors in the microenvironment of hematologic malignancies. Targeting BAFF and its receptors presents potential therapeutic avenues, and ongoing clinical trials provide valuable insights. - Source: PubMed
