Understanding the interplay of these cells with other immune components and the species-specific differences between mice and humans is of clinical importance. Protective responses to microorganisms involve the nonspecific but rapid defence mechanisms of the innate immune system, followed by the specific but slow defence mechanisms of the adaptive immune system. Located as sentinels at the interface between the circulation and lymphoid tissue, splenic marginal zone B cells rapidly respond to blood-borne antigens by adopting 'crossover' defensive strategies that blur the conventional boundaries of innate and adaptive immunity. This Review discusses how marginal zone B cells function as innate-like lymphocytes that mount rapid antibody responses to both T cell-dependent and T cell-independent antigens. These responses require the integration of activation signals from germline-encoded and somatically recombined receptors for microorganisms with helper signals from effector cells of the innate and adaptive immune systems.","datePublished":"2013-01-25T00:00:00Z","dateModified":"2013-01-25T00:00:00Z","pageStart":"118","pageEnd":"132","sameAs":"https://doi.org/10.1038/nri3383","keywords":["Adaptive immunity","B cells","Inflammation","Innate immunity","Marginal zone B cells","Signal transduction","Biomedicine","general","Immunology"],"image":["https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fnri3383/MediaObjects/41577_2013_Article_BFnri3383_Fig1_HTML.jpg","https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fnri3383/MediaObjects/41577_2013_Article_BFnri3383_Fig2_HTML.jpg","https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fnri3383/MediaObjects/41577_2013_Article_BFnri3383_Fig3_HTML.jpg"],"isPartOf":{"name":"Nature Reviews Immunology","issn":["1474-1741","1474-1733"],"volumeNumber":"13","@type":["Periodical","PublicationVolume"]},"publisher":{"name":"Nature Publishing Group UK","logo":{"url":"https://www.springernature.com/app-sn/public/images/logo-springernature.png","@type":"ImageObject"},"@type":"Organization"},"author":[{"name":"Andrea Cerutti","affiliation":[{"name":"Catalan Institute for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA)","address":{"name":"Catalan Institute for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA), Spain","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"},{"name":"The Immunology Institute, Mount Sinai School of Medicine","address":{"name":"Department of Medicine, The Immunology Institute, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"},{"name":"Institut Hospital del Mar d'Investigacions Mèdiques (IMIM)","address":{"name":"Institut Hospital del Mar d'Investigacions Mèdiques (IMIM), Spain","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"}],"email":"acerutti@imim.es","@type":"Person"},{"name":"Montserrat Cols","affiliation":[{"name":"The Immunology Institute, Mount Sinai School of Medicine","address":{"name":"Department of Medicine, The Immunology Institute, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"}],"@type":"Person"},{"name":"Irene Puga","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Hospital del Mar d'Investigacions Mèdiques (IMIM)","address":{"name":"Institut Hospital del Mar d'Investigacions Mèdiques (IMIM), Spain","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"}],"@type":"Person"}],"isAccessibleForFree":false,"hasPart":{"isAccessibleForFree":false,"cssSelector":".main-content","@type":"WebPageElement"},"@type":"ScholarlyArticle"},"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"WebPage"}</script> <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/nri3383"> <meta name="journal_id" content="41577"/> <meta name="dc.title" content="Marginal zone B cells: virtues of innate-like antibody-producing lymphocytes"/> <meta name="dc.source" content="Nature Reviews Immunology 2013 13:2"/> <meta name="dc.format" content="text/html"/> <meta name="dc.publisher" content="Nature Publishing Group"/> <meta name="dc.date" content="2013-01-25"/> <meta name="dc.type" content="ReviewPaper"/> <meta name="dc.language" content="En"/> <meta name="dc.copyright" content="2013 Springer Nature Limited"/> <meta name="dc.rights" content="2013 Springer Nature Limited"/> <meta name="dc.rightsAgent" content="journalpermissions@springernature.com"/> <meta name="dc.description" content="Marginal zone B cells are strategically positioned at the interface between the circulation and the white pulp of the spleen, where they can mediate a rapid, innate-like humoral response against both pathogens and commensals that breach the mucosal barrier.

cells are strategically located at the interface between the circulation and the white pulp of the spleen, where they provide a first line of defence by rapidly producing IgM and class-switched IgG antibodies in response to infections by blood-borne viruses and encapsulated bacteria. Mouse MZ B cells primarily express a non-mutated B cell receptor (BCR) and enter the circulation only to shuttle antigens to the follicle, whereas human MZ B cells express a mutated BCR and extensively recirculate.</p> </li> <li> <p>MZ B cells may also produce IgM and class-switched IgG and IgA antibodies in response to commensal antigens that physiologically translocate from the intestinal mucosa to the general circulation in the absence of infection. This innate-like humoral response may generate a ready-to-use pre-immune antibody repertoire that provides a rapid systemic line of defence not only against pathogens, but also against commensal bacteria that breach the mucosal barrier.</p> </li> <li> <p>In mice, MZ B cells originate from splenic transitional stage 2 B cells via a pathway involving the BCR, the B cell-activating factor (BAFF) receptor and the receptor NOTCH2. In humans, some MZ B cells may arise from immature or transitional B cells located in the liver and mesenteric lymph nodes via a fetal pathway involving NOTCH2, whereas other MZ B cells may emerge from transitional or germinal centre B cells located in the spleen through a postnatal pathway involving the BCR, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and CD40.</p> </li> <li> <p>MZ B cells have a lower activation threshold than follicular B cells, which permits the rapid initiation of IgM production and of IgG- and IgA-inducing class-switch recombination (CSR) in the absence of CD40-dependent help from T follicular helper (T<sub>FH</sub>) cells. This T cell-independent pathway requires dual BCR and TLR engagement by conserved microbial antigens together with co-stimulatory signals from dendritic cells, macrophages and neutrophils via various cytokines, including BAFF, a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, IL-21, interferon-α (IFNα), IFNβ and CXC-chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10).</p> </li> <li> <p>MZ B cells can also undergo T cell-dependent antibody production by following either a follicular pathway involving CD40-dependent help from germinal centre T<sub>FH</sub> cells or an extrafollicular pathway involving CD40-dependent help from extrafollicular T<sub>FH</sub> cells or invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. In addition to expressing CD40 ligand, T<sub>FH</sub> and iNKT cells secrete various CSR- and antibody-inducing cytokines, including IL-4, IL-21 and IFNγ.</p> </li> <li> <p>In humans, MZ B cells probably have a heterogeneous ontogeny and can undergo somatic hypermutation both before and after birth through either an extrafollicular T cell-independent or a follicular T cell-dependent pathway. The extrafollicular T cell-independent pathway diversifies MZ B cells mainly during fetal life or after postnatal exposure to conserved commensal antigens or native polysaccharides, whereas the follicular T cell-dependent pathway may diversify MZ B cells predominantly after postnatal exposure to proteins or protein-conjugated polysaccharides.</p> </li> </ul> </div></div></section><section aria-labelledby="Abs3" data-title="Abstract" lang="en"><div class="c-article-section" id="Abs3-section"><h2 class="c-article-section__title js-section-title js-c-reading-companion-sections-item" id="Abs3">Abstract</h2><div class="c-article-section__content" id="Abs3-content"><p>Protective responses to microorganisms involve the nonspecific but rapid defence mechanisms of the innate immune system, followed by the specific but slow defence mechanisms of the adaptive immune system. Located as sentinels at the interface between the circulation and lymphoid tissue, splenic marginal zone B cells rapidly respond to blood-borne antigens by adopting 'crossover' defensive strategies that blur the conventional boundaries of innate and adaptive immunity. This Review discusses how marginal zone B cells function as innate-like lymphocytes that mount rapid antibody responses to both T cell-dependent and T cell-independent antigens. These responses require the integration of activation signals from germline-encoded and somatically recombined receptors for microorganisms with helper signals from effector cells of the innate and adaptive immune systems.</p></div></div></section> <noscript> <div class="c-nature-box c-nature-box--side " data-component="entitlement-box"> <div class="js-access-button"> <a
