Foci of autoantigen-specific B lymphocytes in nonlymphoid tissues have been associated with development of autoimmune disease. To better understand the genesis of such ectopic lymphoid tissue, this study investigated whether several B cell-tropic innate immune system molecules, known to be elevated in response to inflammatory stimuli, can cooperate in fostering the T cell-independent clonal expansion of mature human B2 cells under conditions of limiting BCR engagement. Notable synergy was observed between BCR coligation with the C3dg-binding CD21/CD19 costimulatory complex, B cell-activating factor belonging to the TNF family (BAFF), and IL-4 in generating B cell progeny with sustained CD86 and DR expression. The synergy was observed over a wide range of BCR:ligand affinities and involved: 1) cooperative effects at promoting early cell cycle progression and viability; 2) BCR:CD21 coligation-promoted increases in BAFF receptors that were highly regulated by IL-4; 3) reciprocal effects of IL-4 and BAFF at dampening daughter cell apoptosis typical of stimulation by BCR:CD21 and either cytokine alone; and 4) BAFF-sustained expression of antiapoptotic Mcl-1 within replicating lymphoblasts. The results suggest that significant clonal proliferation of recirculating B2 cells occurs upon limited binding to C3dg-coated Ag in an inflammatory in vivo milieu containing both BAFF and IL-4. When rare autoantigen-presenting B cells undergo such expansions, both B cell and T cell autoimmunity may be promoted. 相似文献

The development and function of B lymphocytes is regulated by numerous signaling pathways, some emanating from the B‐cell antigen receptor (BCR). The spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) plays a central role in the activation of the BCR, but less is known about its contribution to the survival and maintenance of mature B cells. We generated mice with an inducible and B‐cell‐specific deletion of the Syk gene and found that a considerable fraction of mature Syk‐negative B cells can survive in the periphery for an extended time. Syk‐negative B cells are defective in BCR, RP105 and CD38 signaling but still respond to an IL‐4, anti‐CD40, CpG or LPS stimulus. Our in vivo experiments show that Syk‐deficient B cells require BAFF receptor and CD19/PI3K signaling for their long‐term survival. These studies also shed a new light on the signals regulating the maintenance of the normal mature murine B‐cell pool. 相似文献

Ag-induced B cell proliferation in vivo requires a costimulatory signal through CD40, whereas B cell Ag receptor (BCR) ligation by anti-Ig H chain Abs, such as anti-Ig micro H chain Ab and anti-Ig delta H chain Ab, alone induces proliferation of B cells in vitro, even in the absence of CD40 ligation. In this study, we demonstrate that CD40 signaling is required for survival and proliferation of B cells stimulated by protein Ags in vitro as well as in vivo. This indicates that the in vitro system represents B cell activation in vivo, and that protein Ags generate BCR signaling distinct from that by anti-Ig H chain Abs. Indeed, BCR ligation by Ags, but not by anti-Ig H chain Abs, efficiently phosphorylates the inhibitory coreceptors CD22 and CD72. When these coreceptors are activated, anti-Ig H chain Ab-stimulated B cells can survive and proliferate only in the presence of CD40 signaling. Conversely, treatment of Ag-stimulated B cells with anti-CD72 mAb blocks CD72 phosphorylation and induces proliferation, even in the absence of CD40 signaling. These results strongly suggest that activation of B cells by anti-Ig H chain Abs involves their ability to silence the inhibitory coreceptors, and that the inhibitory coreceptors install requirement of CD40 signaling for survival and proliferation of Ag-stimulated B cells. 相似文献

Loss of membrane-bound Ig results in the rapid onset of apoptosis in recirculating B cells. This observation implies that a competent B cell receptor (BCR) is not only required for Ag-dependent differentiation, but also for continued survival in the peripheral immune system. Expression of the B cell coreceptor, CD19, is likewise essential for key B cell differentiative events including the formation of B-1, germinal center, and marginal zone (MZ) B cells. In this study, we report that CD19 also exerts a role before Ag encounter by promoting the survival of naive recirculating B cells. This aspect of CD19 signaling was first suggested by the analysis of mixed bone marrow chimeras, wherein CD19-/- B cells fail to effectively compete with wild-type B cells to reconstitute the peripheral B cell compartment. Consistent with this observation, Bromodeoxyuridine- and CFSE-labeling studies reveal a shorter in vivo life span for CD19-/- B cells vs their wild-type counterparts. Moreover, we find that CD19 is necessary for propagation of BCR-induced survival signals and thus may contribute to homeostatic mechanisms of tonic signaling. To determine whether provision of a constitutive survival signal could compensate for the loss of CD19 in vivo, Bcl-2-transgenic mice were bred onto the CD19-/- background. Here, we observe an increase in follicular B cell numbers and selective recovery of the MZ B cell compartment. Together these findings suggest that maintenance of the follicular and MZ B cell compartments require CD19-dependent survival signals. 相似文献

Engagement of the low-affinity Ab receptor FcγRIIb downregulates B cell activation, and its dysfunction is associated with autoimmunity in mice and humans. We engineered the Fc domain of an anti-human CD19 Ab to bind FcγRIIb with high affinity, promoting the coengagement of FcγRIIb with the BCR complex. This Ab (XmAb5871) stimulated phosphorylation of the ITIM of FcγRIIb and suppressed BCR-induced calcium mobilization, proliferation, and costimulatory molecule expression of human B cells from healthy volunteers and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, as well as B cell proliferation induced by LPS, IL-4, or BAFF. XmAb5871 suppressed humoral immunity against tetanus toxoid and reduced serum IgM, IgG, and IgE levels in SCID mice engrafted with SLE or healthy human PBMC. XmAb5871 treatment also increased survival of mice engrafted with PBMC from a unique SLE patient. Unlike anti-CD20 Ab, coengagement of FcγRIIb and BCR complex did not promote B cell depletion in human PBMC cultures or in mice. Thus, amplification of the FcγRIIb inhibitory pathway in activated B cells may represent a novel B cell-targeted immunosuppressive therapeutic approach for SLE and other autoimmune diseases that should avoid the complications associated with B cell depletion. 相似文献

Cutting edge: BAFF regulates CD21/35 and CD23 expression independent of its B cell survival function 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Herein we demonstrate that B cell-activating factor of the TNF family (BAFF), a B cell survival factor, also regulates CD21/35 and CD23 expression. BAFF blockade in wild-type mice down-modulates CD21/35 and CD23 on B cells while survival remains intact, and BAFF exposure causes elevated CD21/35 and CD23 expression. Similar down-modulation is observed in bcl-2-transgenic mice treated with a BAFF inhibitor. This is the first evidence that BAFF has a function independent of B cell survival. Reports using CD21/35 and CD23 expression to assess splenic B cell subsets in BAFF-null mice concluded a lack of B cells beyond the immature stage. Since CD21/35 and CD23 are inadequate for delineating B cell subpopulations in BAFF-null mice, we used expression of BAFF-R and several B cell markers to identify more mature splenic B cells in these mice. These data broaden our understanding of BAFF function and correct the view that BAFF-null mice lack mature B cells. 相似文献

CD19 is a B cell-specific receptor that regulates the threshold of B cell receptor (BCR)-mediated cell proliferation. A CD47xCD19 bispecific antibody (biAb) was generated to target and deplete B cells via multiple antibody-mediated mechanisms. Interestingly, the biAb, constructed of a CD19 binding arm and a CD47 binding arm, inhibited BCR-mediated B-cell proliferation with an effect even more potent than a CD19 monoclonal antibody (mAb). The inhibitory effect of the biAb was not attributable to CD47 binding because a monovalent or bivalent anti-CD47 mAb had no effect on B cell proliferation. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer analysis demonstrated that co-engaging CD19 and CD47 prevented CD19 clustering and its migration to BCR clusters, while only engaging CD19 (with a mAb) showed no impact on either CD19 clustering or migration. The lack of association between CD19 and the BCR resulted in decreased phosphorylation of CD19 upon BCR activation. Furthermore, the biAb differentially modulated BCR-induced gene expression compared to a CD19 mAb. Taken together, this unexpected role of CD47xCD19 co-ligation in inhibiting B cell proliferation illuminates a novel approach in which two B cell surface molecules can be tethered, to one another in order, which may provide a therapeutic benefit in settings of autoimmunity and B cell malignancies. 相似文献

CD19 amplifies B lymphocyte signal transduction by regulating Src-family protein tyrosine kinase activation. 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Ligation of the B cell Ag receptor (BCR) induces cellular activation by stimulating Src-family protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) to phosphorylate members of the BCR complex. Subsequently, Src-family PTKs, particularly Lyn, are proposed to phosphorylate and bind CD19, a cell-surface costimulatory molecule that regulates mature B cell activation. Herein, we show that B cells from CD19-deficient mice have diminished Lyn kinase activity and BCR phosphorylation following BCR ligation. Tyrosine phosphorylation of other Src-family PTKs was also decreased in CD19-deficient B cells. In wild-type B cells, CD19 was constitutively complexed with Vav, Lyn, and other Src-family PTKs, with CD19 phosphorylation and its associations with Lyn and Vav increased after BCR ligation. Constitutive CD19/Lyn/Vav complex signaling may therefore be responsible for the establishment of baseline signaling thresholds in B cells before Ag receptor ligation, in addition to accelerating signaling following BCR engagement or other transmembrane signals. In vitro kinase assays using purified CD19 and purified Lyn revealed that the kinase activity of Lyn was significantly increased when coincubated with CD19. Thus, constitutive and induced CD19/Lyn complexes are likely to regulate basal signaling thresholds and BCR signaling by amplifying the kinase activity of Lyn and other Src-family PTKs. These in vivo and in vitro findings demonstrate a novel mechanism by which CD19 regulates signal transduction in B lymphocytes. The absence of this CD19/Src-family kinase amplification loop may account for the hyporesponsive phenotype of CD19-deficient B cells. 相似文献

Dkk3-Cre BAC transgenic mouse line: a tool for highly efficient gene deletion in retinal progenitor cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

To establish the genetic tools for conditional gene deletion in mouse retinal progenitors, we generated a Dkk3-Cre transgenic mouse line using bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgenesis. Cre recombination efficiency in vivo was assayed by crossing this transgenic line, termed BAC-Dkk3-Cre, with the CAG-CAT-Z reporter line. This BAC-Dkk3-Cre line showed Cre recombinase activity in most retinal progenitors. Cre activity was detectable from embryonic day 10.5 (E10.5) and generally restricted to the retina during embryogenesis. To verify that BAC-Dkk3-Cre mice successfully circumvented lethality, we generated Otx2flox/flox/BAC-Dkk3-Cre+ mice as Otx2 conditional knockout mice. The Otx2flox/flox/BAC-Dkk3-Cre+ mice were viable, and their retina showed loss of mature cell-type markers of photoreceptor cells, bipolar cells, and horizontal cells, in contrast, amacrine-like cells noticeably increased. Thus, the BAC-Dkk3-Cre transgenic mouse line provides a powerful tool for generating conditional knockout mouse lines for studying loss of gene functions in the developing retina. 相似文献

Expression of the B‐cell antigen receptor (BCR) is essential not only for the development but also for the maintenance of mature B cells. Similarly, many B‐cell lymphomas, including Burkitt lymphoma (BL), require continuous BCR signaling for their tumor growth. This growth is driven by immunoreceptor tyrosine‐based activation motif (ITAM) and PI3 kinase (PI3K) signaling. Here, we employ CRISPR/Cas9 to delete BCR and B‐cell co‐receptor genes in the human BL cell line Ramos. We find that Ramos B cells require the expression of the BCR signaling component Igβ (CD79b), and the co‐receptor CD19, for their fitness and competitive growth in culture. Furthermore, we show that in the absence of any other BCR component, Igβ can be expressed on the B‐cell surface, where it is found in close proximity to CD19 and signals in an ITAM‐dependent manner. These data suggest that Igβ and CD19 are part of an alternative B‐cell signaling module that use continuous ITAM/PI3K signaling to promote the survival of B lymphoma and normal B cells. 相似文献

Cutting edge: essential role of phospholipase C-gamma 2 in B cell development and function 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Cross-linking of the B cell Ag receptor (BCR) induces the tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple cellular substrates, including phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 2, which is involved in the activation of the phosphatidylinositol pathway. To assess the importance of PLC-gamma 2 in murine lymphopoiesis, the PLC-gamma 2 gene was inducibly ablated by using IFN-regulated Cre recombinase. Mice with a neonatally induced loss of PLC-gamma 2 function displayed reduced numbers of mature conventional B cells and peritoneal B1 cells and defective responses in vitro to BCR stimulation and in vivo to immunization with thymus-independent type II Ags. In contrast, T cell development and TCR-mediated proliferation were normal. Taken together, PLC-gamma 2 is a critical component of BCR signaling pathways and is required to promote B cell development. 相似文献

B cell-activating factor (BAFF) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) play key roles in peripheral B cell survival, maturation, and differentiation. BAFF and APRIL are produced by a variety of cell types such as macrophages/monocytes and dendritic cells. Our analysis shows that BAFF mRNA is also expressed in all B cell subsets isolated from bone marrow, spleen, and peritoneal cavity of BALB/c mice. APRIL expression is restricted to early stages of B cell development in the bone marrow and the peritoneal B1 subset. Stimulation of B2 and B1 cells with LPS or CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides induced MyD88-dependent plasma cell differentiation and intracellular expression of BAFF and APRIL. Furthermore, activation of B cells up-regulated membrane expression of BAFF. The finding that in vitro activation of B cells is inhibited by the antagonist transmembrane activator and calcium modulator ligand interactor Ig, indicates that BAFF and/or APRIL are released into the culture supernatants. It shows that B cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation are supported by an autocrine pathway. In vivo activation of B cells with a T-dependent Ag- induced BAFF expression in germinal center B cells. In (NZB x NZW)F(1) mice with established autoimmune disease, marginal zone, germinal center B cells, as well as splenic plasma cells expressed high levels of BAFF. In (NZB x NZW)F(1) mice, the continuous activation of B cells and thus overexpression of BAFF and APRIL may contribute to the development of autoimmune disease. 相似文献

The c-Abl tyrosine kinase is regulated downstream of the B cell antigen receptor and interacts with CD19 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

c-Abl is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase that we have recently linked to growth factor receptor signaling. The c-Abl kinase is ubiquitously expressed and localizes to the cytoplasm, plasma membrane, cytoskeleton, and nucleus. Thus, c-Abl may regulate signaling processes in multiple subcellular compartments. Targeted deletion or mutation of c-Abl in mice results in a variety of phenotypes, including splenic and thymic atrophy and lymphopenia. Additionally, lymphocytes isolated from specific compartments of c-Abl mutant mice have reduced responses to a variety of stimuli and an increased susceptibility to apoptosis following growth factor deprivation. Despite these observations, little is known regarding the signaling mechanisms responsible for these phenotypes. We report here that splenic B cells from c-Abl-deficient mice are hyporesponsive to the proliferative effects of B cell Ag receptor (BCR) stimulation. The c-Abl kinase activity and protein levels are elevated in the cytosol following activation of the BCR in B cell lines. We show that c-Abl associates with and phosphorylates the BCR coreceptor CD19, and that c-Abl and CD19 colocalize in lipid membrane rafts. These data suggest a role for c-Abl in the regulation of B cell proliferation downstream of the BCR, possibly through interactions with CD19. 相似文献

Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), e.g. toll receptors (TLRs) that bind ligands within the microbiome have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer. LPS is a ligand for two TLR family members, TLR4 and RP105 which mediate LPS signaling in B cell proliferation and migration. Although LPS/TLR/RP105 signaling is well-studied; our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms controlling these PRR signaling pathways remains incomplete. Previous studies have demonstrated a role for PTEN/PI-3K signaling in B cell selection and survival, however a role for PTEN/PI-3K in TLR4/RP105/LPS signaling in the B cell compartment has not been reported. Herein, we crossed a CD19cre and PTENfl/fl mouse to generate a conditional PTEN knockout mouse in the CD19+ B cell compartment. These mice were further crossed with an IL-14α transgenic mouse to study the combined effect of PTEN deletion, PI-3K inhibition and expression of IL-14α (a cytokine originally identified as a B cell growth factor) in CD19+ B cell lymphoproliferation and response to LPS stimulation. Targeted deletion of PTEN and directed expression of IL-14α in the CD19+ B cell compartment (IL-14+PTEN-/-) lead to marked splenomegaly and altered spleen morphology at baseline due to expansion of marginal zone B cells, a phenotype that was exaggerated by treatment with the B cell mitogen and TLR4/RP105 ligand, LPS. Moreover, LPS stimulation of CD19+ cells isolated from these mice display increased proliferation, augmented AKT and NFκB activation as well as increased expression of c-myc and cyclinD1. Interestingly, treatment of LPS treated IL-14+PTEN-/- mice with a pan PI-3K inhibitor, SF1126, reduced splenomegaly, cell proliferation, c-myc and cyclin D1 expression in the CD19+ B cell compartment and normalized the splenic histopathologic architecture. These findings provide the direct evidence that PTEN and PI-3K inhibitors control TLR4/RP105/LPS signaling in the CD19+ B cell compartment and that pan PI-3 kinase inhibitors reverse the lymphoproliferative phenotype in vivo. 相似文献

Bruton's tyrosine kinase mediates NF-kappa B activation and B cell survival by B cell-activating factor receptor of the TNF-R family 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Loss of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) function results in mouse Xid disease characterized by a reduction in mature B cells and impaired humoral immune responses. These defects have been mainly attributed to impaired BCR signaling including reduced activation of the classical NF-kappaB pathway. In this study we show that Btk also couples the receptor for B cell-activating factor (BAFF) of the TNF family (BAFF-R) to the NF-kappaB pathway. Loss of Btk results in defective BAFF-mediated activation of both classical and alternative NF-kappaB pathways. Btk appears to regulate directly the classical pathway in response to BAFF such that Btk-deficient B cells exhibit reduced kinase activity of IkappaB kinase gamma-containing complexes and defective IkappaBalpha degradation. In addition, Btk-deficient B cells produce reduced levels of NF-kappaB2 (p100) basally and in response to stimulation via the BCR or BAFF-R, resulting in impaired activation of the alternative NF-kappaB pathway by BAFF. These results suggest that Btk regulates B cell survival by directly regulating the classical NF-kappaB pathway under both BCR and BAFF-R, as well as by inducing the expression of the components of alternative pathway for sustained NF-kappaB activation in response BAFF. Thus, impaired BCR- and BAFF-induced signaling to NF-kappaB may contribute to the observed defects in B cell survival and humoral immune responses in Btk-deficient mice. 相似文献

We analyzed here the expression of the prosurvival Bcl-2 homologue A1 in peripheral B cell compartment. We observed that A1 mRNA are highly expressed in peripheral B cells as compared with other anti-apoptotic genes of the Bcl-2 family such as bcl-xl and bcl-2 itself. The expression of A1 is up-regulated in immature B cells at the transition between transitional type 1 (T1) and type 2 (T2) cells, and remained highly expressed in mature (M) B cells. We, therefore, analyzed the effect of B cell antigen receptor (BCR) and BAFF receptor (BAFF-R) engagement on the regulation of A1 in total B220(+) cells but also FACS-sorted immature T1, T2 and M B cells. We demonstrated that only BCR engagement up-regulated the expression of A1 mRNA and protein. These results suggest that A1 may play a key role in antigen-dependent signals that are required for survival and/or proliferation of peripheral B cells. 相似文献
