B cell TLRs and induction of immunoglobulin class-switch DNA recombination.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of conserved pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Engagement of B cell TLRs by microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) induces T-independent (TI) antibody responses and plays an important role in the early stages of T-dependent (TD) antibody responses before specific T cell help becomes available. The role of B cell TLRs in the antibody response is magnified by the synergy of B cell receptor (BCR) crosslinking and TLR engagement in inducing immunoglobulin (Ig) class switch DNA recombination (CSR), which crucially diversifies the antibody biological effector functions. Dual BCR/TLR engagement induces CSR to all Ig isotypes, as directed by cytokines, while TLR engagement alone induces marginal CSR. Integration of BCR and TLR signaling results in activation of the canonical and non-canonical NF-κB pathways, induction of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) and germline transcription of IgH switch (S) regions. A critical role of B cell TLRs in CSR and the antibody response is emphasized by the emergence of several TLR ligands as integral components of vaccines that greatly boost humoral immunity in a B cell-intrinsic fashion.

BCR-signalling synergizes with TLR-signalling for induction of AID and immunoglobulin class-switching through the non-canonical NF-κB pathway
By diversifying antibody biological effector functions, class switch DNA recombination has a central role in the maturation of the antibody response. Here we show that BCR-signalling synergizes with Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling to induce class switch DNA recombination. BCR-signalling activates the non-canonical NF-κB pathway and enhances the TLR-dependent canonical NF-κB pathway, thereby...
متن کاملTLR9 signaling in B cells determines class switch recombination to IgG2a.
Although IgG2a is the most potent Ab isotype in the host response to viral and bacterial infections, the regulation of class switch recombination to IgG2a in vivo is not yet well understood. Recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns by dendritic cells expressing TLRs, like TLR7, recognizing ssRNA, or TLR9, recognizing DNA rich in nonmethylated CG motifs (CpG), favors induction of Th...
متن کاملE2A activity is induced during B-cell activation to promote immunoglobulin class switch recombination.
The basic helix-loop-helix protein, E2A, is required for proper early B lymphopoiesis. Specifically, in E2A-deficient mice, B-cell development is blocked at the progenitor stage prior to the onset of immunoglobulin (Ig) V(D)J recombination. Here, we demonstrate that E2A plays an additional role during peripheral B lymphopoiesis. Upon activation of primary mature B lymphocytes, both E2A protein ...
متن کاملIndependent Regulation of DNA Recombination and Immunoglobulln (Ig) Secretion during Isotype Switching to IgG1 and IgE
Induction of switch recombination to the 3'1 and e immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain loci was examined in B cells preactivated with anti-Ig (B lymphoblasts). In B lymphoblasts cultured with interlenkin 4 (IL-4), IL-5 induced the accumulation of S/~-$3'1 rearrangements, but not e recombination. Thus, IL-5 facilitates switch recombination directed to the 3'1 heavy chain locus by IL-4, but additiona...
متن کاملSpontaneous class switch recombination in B cell lymphopoiesis generates aberrant switch junctions and is increased after VDJ rearrangement.
Mature B cells replace the mu constant region of the H chain with a downstream isotype in a process of class switch recombination (CSR). Studies suggest that CSR induction is limited to activated mature B cells in the periphery. Recently, we have shown that CSR spontaneously occur in B lymphopoiesis. However, the mechanism and regulation of it have not been defined. In this study, we show that ...
