The B Cell Antigen Receptor Controls Integrin Activity through Btk and PLCγ2
Integrin-mediated adhesion and B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling play a critical role in B cell development and function, including antigen-specific B cell differentiation. Here we show that the BCR controls integrin alpha4beta1 (VLA-4)-mediated adhesion of B cells to vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and fibronectin. Molecular dissection of the underlying signaling mechanism by a combine...
متن کاملBtk regulates B cell receptor-mediated antigen processing and presentation by controlling actin cytoskeleton dynamics in B cells.
The high efficiency of Ag processing and presentation by B cells requires Ag-induced BCR signaling and actin cytoskeleton reorganization, although the underlying mechanism for such requirements remains elusive. In this study, we identify Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) as a linker connecting BCR signaling to actin dynamics and the Ag transport pathway. Using xid mice and a Btk inhibitor, we show...
متن کاملProlactin Rescues Immature B-Cells from Apoptosis Induced by B-Cell Receptor Cross-Linking
Prolactin has an immunomodulatory effect and has been associated with B-cell-triggered autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In mice that develop SLE, the PRL receptor is expressed in early bone marrow B-cells, and increased levels of PRL hasten disease manifestations, which are correlated with a reduction in the absolute number of immature B-cells. The aim of this wo...
متن کاملIII . B Cell Plasma Membrane Depolarization and Hyper - Ia Antigen Expression Induced by Receptor Immunoglobul in Cross - linking Are Coupled
We have previously reported B lymphocyte plasma membrane depolarization resultant from receptor immunoglobulin cross-linking by anti-immunoglobulin (1) and specific antigen (2). These findings extend observations of Taki (3) and Kiefer et al. (4), who have reported an early decrease in the plasma membrane potential ofT and B lymphocytes in response to mitogens. The mutually exclusive induction ...
متن کاملAutoantigen-B cell antigen receptor interactions that regulate expression of B cell antigen receptor Loci.
Levels of AgR (BCR) expression are regulated during B cell development, activation, and induction of tolerance. The mechanisms responsible for and consequences of this regulation are poorly understood. We have described a class of DNA-based autoantigen-reactive B cell that down-regulates BCR expression during development to mature follicular phenotype. In this study, we show that at immature st...
