Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of cell induction and culture, and more specifically, relates to a system, method and application of highly efficient induction of regulatory B cells. Background Art

[0002] Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a systemic disease that causes multiple system damage (skin, esophagus, gastrointestinal tract, liver, etc.) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and is the main cause of non-recurrence death after surgery. Currently, clinical medication mainly relies on glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants, but their therapeutic effect is poor, and long-term use can cause adverse reactions such as infection.

[0003] Recent studies have found that adoptive infusion of cells with immunomodulatory or regenerative properties can effectively prevent and treat GVHD. Regulatory B cells (Bregs) are a type of cells with immunosuppressive ability. They can inhibit the proliferation of effector T cells and the secretion of inflammatory factors, induce the production of regulatory T cells (Tregs), and play a role in immune tolerance in autoimmune diseases, infections, and transplant-related diseases. Other studies have found that Bregs are closely related to the occurrence and development of GVHD; the number of Bregs in the peripheral blood of GVHD patients is significantly reduced compared with patients without the disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; the lack of Bregs significantly increases the severity of GVHD in mice; umbilical cord blood containing Bregs and hematopoietic stem cells can effectively reduce the incidence of GVHD in patients; the improvement of symptoms in GVHD patients after treatment is accompanied by an increase in the proportion of Bregs. Adoptive infusion of mouse Bregs can effectively improve mouse GVHD. Therefore, cell therapy may be an effective means of preventing and treating GVHD in the future.

[0004] B cells only account for 5-15% of healthy human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and Bregs account for even less. The proportion of Bregs in human peripheral blood is less than 1%, and it is difficult to obtain Bregs that meet the treatment needs through separation. Although it has been reported that Bregs can be obtained by adding or combining multiple stimulants such as Toll-like receptor agonists, CD40 ligands or feeder cells during in vitro culture to culture and expand B cells. However, the induction effect of the above method is limited, and a sufficient number of Bregs cannot be produced. In addition, due to the lack of suitable purified surface markers, the obtained Bregs cannot meet the needs of further treatment; more importantly, the production of inflammatory factor TNF-α may be increased in this process, resulting in the loss of Bregs' immunoregulatory ability, and even having the effect of promoting inflammation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a system and method for amplifying and culturing Bregs with high induction efficiency and without increasing the production of inflammatory factors.
