Suppressory B-cell function controls immune responses and is mainly dependent on IL-10 secretion. Pharmacological manipulation of B-cell-specific IL-10 synthesis could, thus, be therapeutically useful in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, transplantation, autoimmunity and sepsis. TLR are thought to play a protagonistic role in the formation of IL-10-secreting B cells. The aim of the study was to identify the molecular events selectively driving IL-10 production in TLR9-stimulated human B cells. Our data highlight the selectivity of calcineurin inhibitors in blocking TLR9-induced B-cell-derived IL-10 transcription and secretion, while IL-6 transcription and release, B-cell proliferation, and differentiation remain unaffected. Nevertheless, TLR9-induced IL-10 production was found to be independent of calcineurin phosphatase activity and was even negatively regulated by NFAT. In contrast to TLR9-induced IL-6, IL-10 secretion was highly sensitive to targeting of spleen tyrosine kinase (syk) and Bruton's tyrosine kinase. Further analyses demonstrated increased phosphorylation of Ca2+/calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) in TLR9-stimulated B cells and selective reduction of TLR9-induced secretion of IL-10 upon treatment with CaMKII inhibitors, with negligible impact on IL-6 levels. Altogether, our results identify calcineurin antagonists as selective inhibitors of IL-10 transcription and syk/Bruton ' s tyrosine kinase-induced Ca2+/calmodulin- and CaMKII-dependent signaling as a pathway regulating the release of TLR9-induced B-cell-derived IL-10.
