IL-10 Critically Modulates B Cell Responsiveness in Rankl−/− Mice

Abstract: The immune and the skeletal system are tightly interconnected, and B lymphocytes are uniquely endowed with osteo-interactive properties. In this context, receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) ligand (RANKL) plays a pivotal role in lymphoid tissue formation and bone homeostasis. Although murine models lacking RANK or RANKL show defects in B cell number, the role of the RANKL–RANK axis on B physiology is still a matter of debate. In this study, we have characterized in detail B cell compartment in Rankl−/− mice, fi… Show more

“…On the other hand, serum RANKL/OPG ratio was significantly decreased in Dpp3 KO mice (Fig. B ), possibly due to the contribution of other cell types to OPG levels in the circulation . Serological analysis revealed also a significant increase in TRAP and carboxyterminal collagen cross‐links (CTX) levels in Dpp3 KO mice, in line with enhanced bone resorption observed in the skeletal tissue, and a tendency to a reduction in parathyroid hormone (PTH), whereas no difference was found in serum total calcium and phosphate, procollagen type 1 N‐terminal propeptide (P1NP), and osteocalcin levels (Fig.…”

“…Since its first recognition as a survival factor for dendritic cells allowing efficient T cells priming, a huge amount of data has been produced on the multiple functions of the RANKL cytokine in many different organ compartments, in physiopathological conditions . For what pertains to bone, studies have been “osteoclastocentric”; in fact, after the demonstration of the essential role played by RANKL in osteoclast differentiation and function, the investigations have mainly focused on alterations of osteoclast formation and activity in the presence of increased RANKL concentration or in its absence .…”

“…This reveals that FcγRII low/− activated B cells represent a regulatory B-cell subset that has not been previously defined in human cancer tissues. More interestingly, IL-10 can act as an important regulator in promoting B-cell activation, proliferation, and maturation, although its suppressive role in limiting myeloid cell and T-cell functions has been established3637. It is plausible that IL-10 serving as a positive feedback during B-cell activation in cancer environments is utilized by tumours to suppress cytotoxic T-cell functions.…”
