Abstract
B cells are central players in the immune system, responsible for producing antibodies and modulating immune responses. This review explores the intricate relationship between aberrant B cell activation and the development of autoimmune diseases, emphasizing the essential role of B cells in these conditions. We also summarize B cell receptor signaling and Toll-like receptor signaling in B cell activation, as well as their association with autoimmune diseases, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms behind these associations. Additionally, we explore the clinical observations involving B cell activation and their significance in autoimmune disease management. Various clinical studies related to B cell-targeted therapies are also discussed, offering insights into potential avenues for improving treatment strategies. Overall, this review serves as a resource for researchers and clinicians in the field of immunology and autoimmune diseases, providing a general view of B cell signaling and its role in autoimmunity.
B 细胞是免疫系统的核心角色,负责产生抗体和调节免疫反应。本综述探讨了 B 细胞异常活化与自身免疫性疾病发展之间错综复杂的关系,强调了 B 细胞在这些疾病中的重要作用。我们还总结了 B 细胞活化过程中的 B 细胞受体信号转导和 Toll 样受体信号转导,以及它们与自身免疫性疾病的关联,揭示了这些关联背后的分子机制。此外,我们还探讨了涉及 B 细胞活化的临床观察结果及其在自身免疫性疾病治疗中的意义。我们还讨论了与 B 细胞靶向疗法有关的各种临床研究,为改进治疗策略的潜在途径提供了见解。总之,这篇综述为免疫学和自身免疫性疾病领域的研究人员和临床医生提供了一个资源库,提供了有关 B 细胞信号传导及其在自身免疫中作用的总体观点。
期刊介绍:
Evidence-based updates of best clinical practice across the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions.
Best Practice & Research: Clinical Rheumatology keeps the clinician or trainee informed of the latest developments and current recommended practice in the rapidly advancing fields of musculoskeletal conditions and science.
The series provides a continuous update of current clinical practice. It is a topical serial publication that covers the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions in a 4-year cycle. Each topic-based issue contains around 200 pages of practical, evidence-based review articles, which integrate the results from the latest original research with current clinical practice and thinking to provide a continuous update.
Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach that focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known. The review articles seek to address the clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Management is described in practical terms so that it can be applied to the individual patient. The serial is aimed at the physician in both practice and training.
