- Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) enhances immunity in addition to orchestrating metabolism. Here we show that mTOR coordinates immunometabolic reconfiguration of marginal zone (MZ) B cells, a pre-activated lymphocyte subset that mounts antibody responses to T-cell-independent antigens through a Toll-like receptor (TLR)-amplified pathway involving transmembrane activator and CAML interactor (TACI). This receptor interacts with mTOR via the TLR adapter MyD88. The resulting mTOR activation instigates MZ B-cell proliferation, immunoglobulin G (IgG) class switching, and plasmablast differentiation through a rapamycin-sensitive pathway that integrates metabolic and antibody-inducing transcription programs, including NF-κB. Disruption of TACI–mTOR interaction by rapamycin, truncation of the MyD88-binding domain of TACI, or B-cell-conditional mTOR deficiency interrupts TACI signaling via NF-κB and cooperation with TLRs, thereby hampering IgG production to T-cell-independent antigens but not B-cell survival. Thus, mTOR drives innate-like antibody responses by linking proximal TACI signaling events with distal immunometabolic transcription programs.

- Using whole-exome sequencing to examine the genetic causes of immune deficiency in 235 common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) patients seen in the United States (Mount Sinai, New York), 128 patients from Sweden, and 208 from Iran revealed 68 known disease-causing genes underlying this heterogeneous immune defect. The patients at the time of study ranged from 4 to 90 years of age. Overall, 31%, 36%, and 54% of the patients in the US, Swedish, or Iranian cohorts had mutations. The multiplicity of genes identified in the 571 subjects reflects the complex requirements of B-cell antigen signaling, activation, survival, migration, maturation, and maintenance of antibody-secreting memory B-cell populations to the plasma cell stage. For the US and Swedish cohorts, CVID subjects with noninfectious complications, lymphoid infiltrations, inflamatory conditions, or autoimmunity were somewhat more likely to have an identifiable gene, but in both cohorts, numerous subjects with these medical conditions had no potential gene that could be assigned. Specific clinical patterns of illnesses were also not linked to any given gene defect as there was considerable overlap in clinical presentations. These observations led to a new perspective on the complexity of the immunologic phenotype found in CVID syndrome.
