abstractText  Factor VIII (FVIII)-specific memory B cells are essential components for regulating anamnestic antibody responses against FVIII in hemophilia A with FVIII inhibitors. We asked how stimulation and inhibition of FVIII-specific memory B cells by low and high concentrations of FVIII, respectively, are affected by concurrent activation of the innate immune system. Using CD138(-) spleen cells from hemophilic mice treated with FVIII to study restimulation and differentiation of memory B cells in vitro, we tested modulating activities of agonists for Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9. Ligands for TLR7 and 9 were most effective. They not only amplified FVIII-specific memory responses in the presence of stimulating concentrations of FVIII, but also countered inhibition in the presence of inhibitory concentrations of FVIII. Notably, CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG-ODN), a ligand for TLR9, expressed biphasic effects. It amplified memory responses at low concentrations and inhibited memory responses at high concentrations, both in vitro and in vivo. Both stimulatory and inhibitory activities of CpG-ODN resulted from specific interactions with TLR9. Despite their strong immunomodulatory effects in the presence of FVIII, ligands for TLR induced negligible restimulation in the absence of FVIII in vitro and no restimulation in the absence of FVIII in vivo.
