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. CD27high/CD38+/CD19dim/surface Iglow/CD20-/CD138+ plasma cells were found at high frequencies in active but not inactive SLE patients. Upon immunosuppressive therapy, CD27high 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 VH3 family members with multiple somatic mutations. CD27high plasma cells showed a similar degree of somatic hypermutation, but preferentially employed VH4 family members. These results indicate that there are profound abnormalities in the various B cell compartments in SLE that respond differently to immunosuppressive therapy.
