Abstract
The combined application of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell B-cell receptor sequencing (scBCR-seq) offers a multidimensional perspective for dissecting the immunopathological mechanisms of B cells in autoimmune diseases. This review systematically summarizes the principles of these techniques, the analytical framework, and their key applications in diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus et. al. It reveals the dynamic correlations between the transcriptome of B-cell subsets and B-cell receptor (BCR) clones. Furthermore, we focus on the potential roles of dual BCR B cells and B/T biphenotypic cells in autoimmunity, emphasizing their exacerbation of disease progression through abnormal clonal expansion and autoantibody secretion. By sorting through cutting-edge advancements and bottleneck issues, this article aims to propel the innovation of multi-omics research and precision treatment paradigms for autoimmune diseases.
