In patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a marked B lymphocytopenia was identified that affected CD19(+)/CD27(-) naive B cells more than CD19(+)/CD27(+) memory B cells, leading to a relative predominance of CD27-expressing peripheral B cells. CD27(high)/CD38(+)/CD19(dim)/surface Ig(low)/CD20(-)/CD138(+) plasma cells were found at high frequencies In active but not inactive SLE patients. Upon immunosuppressive therapy, CD27(high) plasma cells and naive CD27(-) B cells were markedly decreased in the peripheral blood, Mutational analysis of V gene rearrangements of individual B cells confirmed that CD27(+) B cells coexpressing IgD were memory B cells preferentially using V(H)3 family members with multiple somatic mutations. CD27(high) plasma cells showed a similar degree of somatic hypermutation, but preferentially employed V(H)4 family members, These results indicate that there are profound abnormalities in the various B cell compartments in SLE that respond differently to immunosuppressive therapy.
