Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a cytoplasmic signaling molecule that is crucial for precursor (pre-B) cell differentiation in humans. In this study, we show that during the transition of large cycling to small resting pre-B cells in the mouse, Btk-deficient cells failed to efficiently modulate the expression of CD43, surrogate L chain, CD2, and CD25. In an analysis of the kinetics of pre-B cell differentiation in vivo, Btk-deficient cells manifested a specific developmental delay within the small pre-B cell compartment of about 3 h, when compared with wild-type cells. Likewise, in in vitro bone marrow cultures, Btk-deficient large cycling pre-B cells showed increased IL-7 mediated expansion and reduced developmental progression into noncycling CD2(+)CD25(+) surrogate L chain-negative small pre-B cells and subsequently into Ig-positive B cells. Furthermore, the absence of Btk resulted in increased proliferative responses to IL-7 in recombination-activating gene-1-deficient pro-B cells. These findings identify a novel role for Btk in the regulation of the differentiation stage-specific modulation of IL-7 responsiveness in pro-B and pre-B cells. Moreover, our results show that Btk is critical for an efficient transit through the small pre-B cell compartment, thereby regulating cell surface phenotype changes during the developmental progression of cytoplasmic mu H chain expressing pre-B cells into immature IgM(+) B cells. 相似文献

The human fetal bone marrow B cell compartment of 14- to 21-wk gestational age was examined phenotypically and with respect to Ig H chain commitment and diversity. A dramatic expansion of fetal marrow B cell pools at 16- to 18-wk gestational age characterizes a rapid and concerted chain of differentiation events. Transiently up to 1/4 of nucleated marrow cells are CD20+/CD21+ cells which begin to express surface Ig other than IgM. Limiting dilution analysis of EBV-infected marrow cells delineated a virtually exclusive commitment to IgM production until 15 wk and the absolute and relative number of these cells were small (approximately 5% of comparable adult values). In parallel to the rapid increase in total B cell pools size, cells committed and able to secrete any of the five Ig isotypes are generated by 16-wk gestational age and by 18 wk the frequencies of these cells rapidly reach levels typical for adult peripheral tissue such as blood or lymph node. Fetal L chain diversity always anticipated that observed in adult serum. In addition to rising pool sizes and diverse IgH expression, EBV transformability is a major variable during this period of B cell development with up to 2/3 of B lineage cells transformable, about half of which are pre-B cells. By 21-wk gestational age transformable pre-B cells have disappeared and (as in adult tissue) approximately 10 to 20% of CD20+ cells are transformable. The rapid, concerted expression of full H chain diversity during a narrow period in fetal development is unique to marrow and implies a lymphopoietic process in a privileged site rather than an immunologic differentiation event. During this event, the relative proportions between the different IgH classes expressed, resembled that found in adult tissue, perhaps suggesting that B cell inherent programming rather than only antigenic forces determine heavy chain choice. The staggered expression, early in postnatal life, of IgH regions 3' of the C mu locus may reflect regulatory functions rather than inherent immaturity of the B lineage. 相似文献

Using a polyclonal rabbit antiserum against recombinant mouse lambda 5 protein, we determined that the pre-B cell specific mouse lambda 5 gene encodes a 22-kDa protein. The lambda 5 protein, which is related to conventional Ig lambda L chain proteins forms a complex with Ig mu H chain protein and an as yet unidentified 16-kDa protein (p16) in mu+ pre-B cell lines carrying a functionally rearranged VH-DH-JH allele. In pre-B cell lines which carry DH-JH rearrangements and do not express mu H chain protein, lambda 5 protein is associated with p16. Thus the expression of lambda 5 protein precedes the expression of intact mu H chain protein. This suggests the existence of developmentally regulated protein complexes involving the Ig L chain-like protein lambda 5 and p16 in mu- pre-B cells; lambda 5, p16, and Ig H chain protein in mu+ pre-B cells and Ig H chain and conventional Ig L chain proteins in B cells and plasma cells. 相似文献

Little is known about the role of signals transduced by cell surface IgM (sIgM) expressed during early B cell development. A subclone (1.6) of the late pre-B cell lymphoma 70Z/3.12 was used to study signal transduction by surface mu heavy (H) chain before and after transition to the early immature B cell stage, and the functional consequences thereof. Although kappa L chain expression can be induced on 1.6 cells by LPS or cytokines, immunoprecipitations indicated that the non-induced 1.6 cells expressed mu H chain with an alternative protein(s) which may be a surrogate light chain(s). Consistent with this, anti-mu but not anti-kappa or anti-lambda antibodies caused transient Ca2+ mobilization in noninduced 1.6 cells. The Ca2+ signal was derived from both intracellular stores and Ca2+ influx in either noninduced cells or in cells that had been preinduced to express kappa L chain. Thus, the ability of mu H chain to mobilize Ca2+ as a second messenger does not depend upon the expression of mature L chains. The immature B lymphomas, WEHI-231 and CH1, express mature forms of IgM and undergo growth arrest when stimulated by anti-mu antibody. In contrast, signals generated by mu H chain on either noninduced or preinduced 1.6 cells or in the sIgM+ pre-B cell transfectant 300-19 mu lambda 36/8 did not cause growth arrest. These results suggest that mu H chain expressed on pre-B cells is capable of mobilizing Ca2+, but that this signal alone is insufficient to induce growth arrest in the pre-B cell. 相似文献

Differentiation of cloned populations of immature B cells after transformation with Abelson murine leukemia virus 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
The nature of the target cell for Abelson virus transformation and the effect of transformation on B cell differentiation were studied with six cloned lines of nontransformed immature B lymphocytes. Three clones were at the pre-B cell stage of maturation prior to A-MuLV infection; two were at the B cell stage, and one appeared to represent a stage prior to rearrangement of the mu heavy chain gene. All six cloned lines could be transformed by Abelson virus. Many of the transformants of the pre-B cell clones underwent kappa light chain gene rearrangement and expression following viral infection. Distinct light chain gene rearrangements were segregated by further subcloning these transformed lines. Abelson virus infection of one cloned cell line believed to represent a stage of maturation prior to the pre-B cell stage produced pre-B cell transformants with a variety of heavy chain gene rearrangements. Thus B lymphoid target cells for Abelson virus are not restricted to a single developmental stage, and some transformed subclones can undergo extensive immunoglobulin gene rearrangements shortly after viral infection. 相似文献

During B cell differentiation rearrangement of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes is partially regulated by the Ig proteins. Rearrangement of heavy (H) chain genes is inhibited, whilst that of light (L) chain genes is induced by the membrane form of the mu H chain. In order to analyse additional structural requirements of mu induced L chain gene rearrangement we transfected wild-type mu and mutant mu constructs lacking functional exons encoding the first or second constant domains into Abelson murine leukemia virus (AMuLV) transformed pre-B cells. All mu chains are expressed on the surface of the pre-B cell and all associate with omega and iota, two proteins forming a surrogate light chain, necessary for mu membrane expression. Nevertheless, only wild-type mu and not the mutant mu proteins promote L gene rearrangement. A heterodimer of proteins with Mr of 33 kd and 36 kd was found associated with wild-type but not with the mutant mu proteins. Continuous presence of mu is required for L chain gene recombination since loss of mu stopped and readdition of mu started L gene rearrangement. We propose that the protein complex composed of mu and the 33 kd/36 kd protein heterodimer is responsible for the activation of the L chain gene locus and its rearrangement. 相似文献

The immunoglobulins produced by the earliest recognizable B cell precursors (pre-B cells) were characterized in the mouse and human. Immunofluorescent analysis revealed no evidence of surface IgM components, and only mu heavy chains could be detected intracytoplasmically in pre-B cells. Surface IgM components could not be isolated from intact fetal liver cells that lacked sIgM+ B lymphocytes but possessed pre-B cells. Pre-B cells were shown to synthesize and secrete mu heavy chains but not light chains by immunochemical analysis. These mu chains constituted less than 0.01% of TCA precipitable protein synthesized and secreted by fetal liver cells during an 8 hr labelling period. Migration of both intracellular and secreted mu chains on SDS-PAGE suggested that they were smaller than mu chains secreted by mouse and human plasmacytomas. These data indicate that mu chain synthesis precedes light chain expression during B cell ontogeny and suggest a new role for pre-B cells in the generation and expression of a diverse immunoglobulin repertoire. 相似文献

Pre-B cell generation potentiated by soluble factors from a bone marrow stromal cell line 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Two bone marrow stromal cell lines isolated from the adherent layer of a Dexter-type long term bone marrow culture differ markedly in their hemopoietic support capacity. S17 supports myelopoiesis and the differentiation of early B cell precursors into B lymphocytes while S10 supports myeloid cell differentiation and not B lymphopoiesis. The identification of a stromal cell line with B cell support capacity prompted an investigation of whether the effects of S17 were mediated via soluble factors. Results presented herein indicate that medium conditioned by S17 but not S10 contains an activity that can induce the expression of the 220,000 m.w. 14.8 antigen and cytoplasmic mu H chain of Ig in B lymphocyte progenitors that have not yet expressed these markers. Bone marrow cells were depleted of 14.8+, cytoplasmic mu+ pre-B cells on antibody-coated petri dishes. After 24-h liquid culture newly generated pre-B cells were enumerated as cells that expressed cytoplasmic mu H chain of Ig but not Ig L chains by immunofluorescence. Expression of Ly5(220) was monitored by 14.8 antibody binding. This pre-B cell differentiation activity was abrogated by digestion with pronase, aminopeptidase, or carboxypeptidase. Isoelectric focusing data revealed the activity to have isoelectric point of 5.9 to 6.2. S17-conditioned medium was fractionated using HPLC and each fraction tested for pre-B cell-generating activity. Fractions collected from a Superose 12 gel filtration column were found to have two peaks of activity associated with molecules of apparent m.w. of approximately 60,000 and 10,000. Virtually identical peaks of activity were observed when medium conditioned by heterogeneous stromal cell cultures was fractionated. Separation of S10-conditioned medium revealed no cryptic activity. S17-conditioned medium was further characterized by anion exchange chromatography and the majority of the pre-B cell generating activity shown to be associated with the void volume that eluted from a MonoQ column. These fractions were rechromatographed on Superose and the activity again found to be associated with two fractions corresponding to apparent m.w. of 60,000 and 10,000. The S17 pre-B cell differentiation activity appears to result from the presence of a novel molecule because other well characterized mediators had no activity in this short-term liquid culture system. No pre-B cell-generating activity was observed when IL-1 or conditioned medium containing IL-2, IL-3, or IL-4 (B cell stimulatory factor 1) were added to cultures.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Immunoglobulin mu chains synthesized in murine pre-B cells are known to be associated with surrogate light chains designated as omega (omega), iota (iota) and B34. In addition to these molecules, we identified the complexes of polypeptides (50, 40, 27 and 15.5 kd) associated with surface or intracellular mu chains of pre-B cell lines. Most of these polypeptides were continuously synthesized and associated with mu chains in virgin B cells lines, although some of them scarcely bound to the mu kappa dimer or mu 2 kappa 2 tetramer concomitantly present in the same clone or population. However, in mature B cells they were no longer detectable except B34. Cross-linking of micron chains on the surface of pre-B cells resulted in an increase in intracellular free Ca2+, indicating that the micron chain complex on the surface of pre-B cell lines acted as a signal transduction molecule. However, the receptor cross-linkage of pre-B cell lines did not induce the increased inositol phospholipid metabolism usually observed in virgin and mature B cell lines. These results suggest that, during the differentiation from pre-B to mature B cells, the cells express two types of mu chain complexes which exhibit different structures as a whole and possess different signal transducing capacities. 相似文献

Interleukin 8 (IL-8), a member of the CXC subfamily of chemokines, is a potent inflammatory cytokine produced by many cell types in response to several stimuli. In an attempt to determine whether human B-cell IL-8 functions as an autocrine growth factor, a wide panel of B-cell lines derived from patients with AIDS-associated B-cell lymphomas (AABCL) (n = 5) and from non-AABCLs (n = 8) was studied for expression of IL-8, IL-8 Receptor type A (IL-8R), and secretion of IL-8 protein. Using RT-PCR and Northern Blot analysis, we were able to observe IL-8 expression ubiquitously. However, IL-8R expression was seen only in EBV negative (4 out of 7) B-cell lines. EBV and HIV-1 activated B-cell line; HBL-1, was the major secretor of IL-8. Our results demonstrate that IL-8 is expressed in malignant B-cell phenotypes that correspond to a narrow window in the B-cell differentiation pathway (pre-B, early-B, and intermediate-B) as well as in normal CD19-enriched B-cells. Furthermore, IL-8 autocrine loops were not evident since IL-8R was detected only in cell lines that did not secrete IL-8 protein. 相似文献

In the mouse, Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is essential for efficient developmental progression of CD43(+)CD2(-) large cycling into CD43(-)CD2(+) small resting pre-B cells in the bone marrow and of IgM(high) transitional type 2 B cells into IgM(low) mature B cells in the spleen. In this study, we show that the impaired induction of cell surface changes in Btk-deficient pre-B cells was still noticeable in kappa(+) immature B cells, but was largely corrected in lambda(+) immature B cells. As lambda gene rearrangements are programmed to follow kappa rearrangements and lambda expression is associated with receptor editing, we hypothesized that the transit time through the pre-B cell compartment or receptor editing may affect the extent of the cellular maturation defects in Btk-deficient B cells. To address this issue, we used 3-83 mu delta transgenic mice, which prematurely express a complete B cell receptor and therefore manifest accelerated B cell development. In Btk-deficient 3-83 mu delta mice, the IgM(+) B cells in the bone marrow exhibited a very immature phenotype (pre-BCR(+)CD43(+)CD2(-)) and were arrested at the transitional type 1 B cell stage upon arrival in the spleen. However, these cellular maturation defects were largely restored when Btk-deficient 3-83 mu delta B cells were on a centrally deleting background and therefore targeted for receptor editing. Providing an extended time window for developing B cells by enforced expression of the antiapoptotic gene Bcl-2 did not alter the Btk dependence of their cellular maturation. We conclude that premature B cell receptor expression amplifies the cellular maturation defects in Btk-deficient B cells, while extensive receptor editing reduces these defects. 相似文献

Early B-cell precursors in scid mice: normal numbers of cells transformable with Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
scid mice lack detectable B and T lymphocytes; there are no typical pre-B cells as defined by c mu and surface markers in their bone marrow and their thymus contains only 1% of the normal number of cells. In these characters scid mice seem to lack lymphoid stem cells. However, some mice have detectable serum immunoglobulin and others develop thymomas; both observations indicate that the block in lymphoid development is not absolute. To determine whether scid mice have any B-cell precursors, we looked for pre-B cells by their ability to be transformed by Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV). Surprisingly, scid mice contain as many B-cell precursors transformable with A-MuLV as normal control mice. Cell-surface markers specific for pre-B and B cells were detected on the A-MuLV-transformed bone marrow cells of both scid and normal mice, indicating that the A-MuLV-transformed cells belong to the B lineage. Interestingly, the same surface markers were undetectable on nontransformed scid bone marrow cells. We conclude from these results that scid mice have normal numbers of early B-cell precursors but that their differentiation into functional B cells is severely impaired. 相似文献

Expression of CD2 on developing and mature murine B cells was examined by using an antipeptide antiserum (L50). Most Ig-bearing splenic B cells were found to express CD2. Anti-CD5 and anti-B220 mAb divided the peritoneal B cells into two populations expressing high and low levels of these proteins; both populations were found to express uniform levels of CD2. Abelson murine leukemia virus-transformed pre-B cell lines derived from fetal liver and adult bone marrow were analyzed to delineate the ontogeny of CD2 in the B cell lineage. The results show that onset of CD2 expression correlates with the presence of cytoplasmic mu-chain. Therefore, the earliest CD2+ pre-B cell in the developing B cell population appears to be the classical pre-B cell. 相似文献

Differential expression of the c-myb proto-oncogene marks the pre-B cell/B cell junction in murine B lymphoid tumors 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
A series of murine B lymphoid tumor cell lines which are representative of the pre-B cell, immature and mature B cell, and plasma cell stages of B cell development have been examined for expression of c-myb proto-oncogene mRNA. The pre-B cell lymphoma cell lines express equivalent high steady state levels of c-myb mRNA. In contrast, the B cell lymphoma and plasmacytoma cell lines express steady state c-myb mRNA at levels which are 0.005 to 0.1 times that of the pre-B cell lymphoma lines. These results correlate high levels of c-myb mRNA expression with the pre-B cell stage of development. Subclones of the 1881 pre-B cell lymphoma which express K light chain and are surface IgM-positive as well as two types of hybrid B lymphoid cell lines have been used to demonstrate that surface immunoglobulin expression is not sufficient to result in the down-regulation of c-myb mRNA levels or changes in the expression N-myc mRNA, lambda 5 mRNA, or the BP-1 surface antigen which are markers of the pre-B cell stage of development. Thus, changes in the expression of genes which are independent of immunoglobulin expression are associated with transition from the pre-B cell to the immature B cell stage of development. 相似文献

Deficiency in the adaptor protein B cell linker protein (BLNK) results in a substantial but incomplete block in B cell development, suggesting that alternative pathways exist for B lineage differentiation. Another adaptor protein, c-Cbl, plays a negative regulatory role in several BCR-signaling pathways. We therefore investigated the role of c-Cbl during B cell development and addressed the possibility that redundancies in pathways for B cell differentiation could be further revealed by eliminating negative effects mediated by c-Cbl. Strikingly, c-Cbl inactivation reversed a number of the critical defects in early B cell differentiation that are seen in BLNK-deficient mice. c-Cbl(-/-)BLNK(-/-) mice exhibited normalized down-regulation of pre-BCR and CD43, up-regulation of MHC class II, and augmented L chain rearrangement, resulting in a successful transition from pre-B cells to immature B cells. c-Cbl inactivation also reversed the potentially tumor-predisposing hyperproliferative response of BLNK(-/-) pre-B cells to IL-7. Pre-BCR cross-linking induced enhanced and prolonged tyrosine phosphorylation in c-Cbl(-/-)BLNK(-/-) pre-BCR(+) pre-B cells compared with c-Cbl(+/-)BLNK(-/-) cells, including elevated phosphorylation of Lyn, Syk, Btk, and phospholipase C-gamma2. Our studies suggest that some, but not all, pre-BCR-triggered developmental events can be mediated by BLNK-independent pathways that are negatively regulated by c-Cbl, and further suggest that different events during early B cell development require different strength or duration of pre-BCR signaling. 相似文献

V(H)12 B cells undergo stringent selection at multiple checkpoints to favor development of B-1 cells that bind phosphatidylcholine. Selection begins with the V(H) third complementarity-determining region (CDR3) at the pre-B cell stage, in which most V(H)12 pre-B cells are selectively eliminated, enriching for those with V(H)CDR3s of 10 aa and a fourth position Gly (designated 10/G4). To understand this selection, we compared B cell differentiation in mice of two V(H)12 transgenic lines, one with the favored 10/G4 V(H)CDR3 and one with a non-10/G4 V(H)CDR3 of 8 aa and no Gly (8/G0). Both H chains drive B cell differentiation to the small pre-BII cell stage, and induce allelic exclusion and L chain gene rearrangement. However, unlike 10/G4 pre-B cells, 8/G0 pre-B cells are deficient in cell division and unable to differentiate to B cells. We suggest that this is due to poor 8/G0 pre-B cell receptor expression and to an inability to form an 8/G0 B cell receptor. Our findings also suggest that V(H)12 H chains have evolved such that association with surrogate and conventional L chains is most efficient with a 10/G4 CDR3. Thus, selection for phosphatidylcholine-binding B-1 cells is most likely the underlying evolutionary basis for the loss of non-10/G4 pre-B cells. 相似文献

Microenvironmental studies of pre-B and B cell development in human and mouse fetuses 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Immunofluorescence techniques were used to trace the development of cells expressing mu heavy chains in humans and mice. IgM B cells were distinguished from pre-B cells by their additional expression of kappa or lambda light chains. Generation of pre-B and progeny B cells was evident in hemopoietic fetal liver and bone marrow, but not in thymus, heart, lung, spleen, kidney, and placental tissues. Pre-B and B cells, in a ratio of 2 to 1, were abundant in sections of hemopoietic liver and in bone marrow from 12- to 15-wk-old human fetuses, whereas these cells were rare in nonhemopoietic liver samples obtained beyond the 34th week. In mouse fetal liver mu+ cells appeared first around the 12th day of gestation and increased in frequency throughout the third trimester. On day 17 of gestation, kappa light chain expression by 1% of mu+ cells was noted, and the percentage of kappa+/mu+ cells increased progressively to more than 80% by 5 days after birth. Pre-B and B cells were interspersed among myeloid and more abundant erythropoietic cellular elements in the extrasinusoidal areas adjacent to hepatic cords. A loose clustering or "starburst" distribution pattern of pre-B cells became evident around day 17. These observations suggest a model for in situ generation of pre-B and progeny B cells in the hemopoietic fetal liver. In the midst of more numerous erythropoietic elements, immunoglobulin-negative precursors divide to generate a loose colony of mu+ pre-B cells that divide again before giving rise to a wave of IgM B cells. 相似文献

Subpopulations of normal adult murine splenic B cells and a panel of murine B cell tumors were examined for their ability to bind murine IgM specifically. By using two-color flow cytometric analyses, we have demonstrated that 90 to 95% of surface (s)IgD+ B cells express surface membrane receptors for IgM (Fc mu R). The binding of pentameric murine IgM to splenocyte Fc mu R was IgM-specific since it was totally inhibited by other polymeric IgM proteins, but not by Ig of other H chain classes or by mAb specific for the murine IgG or IgE FcR. Binding of IgM to splenic cells was saturable. Fc mu R were co-expressed with the Fc gamma R as well as the Fc epsilon R on the majority of splenic B cells. Minor populations of splenic mononuclear cells expressed only an Fc mu R, Fc gamma R or Fc epsilon R. In a survey of B tumor cell lines representing different stages of B cell development, we observed that the Fc mu R was expressed on pre-B cell lines and that Fc mu R detection was maximal on immature B cell lines that expressed sIgM and low amounts of sIgD and Ia. Fc mu R were not detected on cell lines that had switched from sIgM to the expression of another sIg, or on plasmacytomas and hybridomas. The studies with normal splenocytes establish that the majority of sIgD+ B lymphocytes in adult BALB/c mice express surface membrane receptors that specifically bind IgM. The studies with B lineage tumor cells suggest that the expression of Fc mu R on B cells is developmentally regulated and that the pattern of expression exhibited by Fc mu R during B cell ontogeny differs from the patterns that have been previously found for IgG and IgE FcR. These observations raise the possibility that Fc mu R might have a functional significance in some aspect of B cell maturation and activation. By using a family of IgM H chain constant region domain deletional mutants, we have further demonstrated that, like the T cell Fc mu R, the B cell Fc mu R also requires a C mu 3 domain for binding to occur, raising the possibility that the T and B cell Fc mu R in mice may be structurally related molecules. 相似文献
