Allergic asthma is a common airway inflammatory disease in which B cells play important roles through IgE production and antigen presentation. SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) analysis showed that Atg (autophagy-related) allele mutations are involved in asthma. It has been demonstrated that macroautophagy/autophagy is essential for B cell survival, plasma cell differentiation and immunological memory maintenance. However, whether B cell autophagy participates in asthma pathogenesis remains to be investigated. In this report, we found that autophagy was enhanced in pulmonary B cells from asthma-prone mice. Autophagy deficiency in B cells led to attenuated immunopathological symptoms in asthma-prone mice. Further investigation showed that IL4 (interleukin 4), a key effector Th2 cytokine in allergic asthma, was critical for autophagy induction in B cells both in vivo and in vitro, which further sustained B cell survival and enhanced antigen presentation by B cells. Moreover, IL4-induced autophagy depended on JAK signaling via an MTOR-independent, PtdIns3K-dependent pathway. Together, our data indicate that B cell autophagy aggravates experimental asthma through multiple mechanisms.Keywords: Antigen presentation; B cell; IL4; asthma; autophagy.
