Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. The role of B-cells in pathogenesis of sarcoidosis was shown in several studies. The importance of B-lymphocytes activation in sarcoidosis can be confirmed by the efficacy of anti-CD20 treatment. However, there is no data about alteration of certain B-cells subsets. In this study changes in subsets of B-lymphocytes in patients with sarcoidosis (n=37) and a control group (n=30) are analyzed. In patients with sarcoidosis misbalance of B-naïve and B-memory cells was found, the level of B-naïve cells proved to be more than 70.00% and B memory cells less than 30.00% (sensitivity 76%, specificity 70%). Among regulatory B cells there was detected an elevation of CD24+++CD38+++ B cells more than 6.5% (sensitivity 91%, specificity 88%) and CD5+CD27-B cells than 12.45% (sensitivity 76%,specificity 80%). These results show, that in sarcoidosis pathogenesis are involved B-naïve and B-memory cells, that is characteristic for granulomatous diseases, and also regulatory B cells, that produce anti-inflammatory cytokines.
