B cells and antibodies in refractory immune thrombocytopenia

© 2023 The Authors. British Journal of Haematology published by British Society for Haematology and John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired bleeding disorder mediated by pathogenic autoantibodies secreted by plasma cells (PCs) in many patients. In refractory ITP patients, the persistence of splenic and bone marrow autoreactive long-lived PCs (LLPCs) may explain primary failure of rituximab and splenectomy respectively. The reactivation of autoreactive memory B cells generating new autoreactive PCs contributes to relapses after initial response to rituximab. Emerging strategies targeting B cells and PCs aim to prevent the settlement of splenic LLPCs with the combination of anti-BAFF and rituximab, to deplete autoreactive PCs with anti-CD38 antibodies, and to induce deeper B-cell depletion in tissues with novel anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies and anti-CD19 therapies. Alternative strategies, focused on controlling autoantibody mediated effects, have also been developed, including SYK and BTK inhibitors, complement inhibitors, FcRn blockers and inhibitors of platelet desialylation.
