ABSTRACT
Secretory IgA is crucial for preventing the invasion of entero-pathogens via intestinal mucosa. While it is well-established that Transforming growth factor ß1 (TGF-ß1) regulates IgA production in human and mouse B cells, our previous investigation revealed different functions of TGF-ß1 in IgA generation in pigs compared with humans and mice, with the underlying mechanism remaining elusive. In this study, IgM+ B cells from porcine Peyer's patches (PPs) were isolated and stimulated with recombinant porcine TGF-ß1 to evaluate the effect of TGF-ß1 on pigs. The results showed that antibody production from B cells of PPs was impaired by TGF-ß1 ex vivo. Furthermore, TGF-ß1 treatment led to a decrease in the expression of germ-line transcript αand postswitch transcript α. Moreover, we observed that TGF-ß1 predominantly inhibited the phosphorylation of p38-mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), confirming the involvement of the p38-MAPK pathway in porcine IgA generation and IgA class switch recombination. The application of p38-MAPK inhibitor resulted in decreased B-cell differentiation levels. Collectively, this study demonstrates that exogenous TGF-ß1 restrains the production and class switch recombination of IgA antibodies by inhibiting p38-MAPK signaling in porcine PPs B cells, which may constitute a component of TGF-ß1-mediated inhibition of B-cell activation.
