Abstract

Targeted deletion of BAFF causes severe deficiency of splenic B cells. BAFF-R is commonly thought to signal to nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB)-inducing kinase dependent noncanonical NF-κB RelB. However, RelB-deficient mice have normal B-cell numbers. Recent studies showed that BAFF also signals to the canonical NF-κB pathway, and we found that both RelB and cRel are persistently activated, suggesting BAFF signaling coordinates both pathways to ensure robust B-cell development. Indeed, we report now that combined loss of these 2 NF-κB family members leads to impaired BAFF-mediated survival and development in vitro. Although single deletion of RelB and cRel was dispensable for normal B-cell development, double knockout mice displayed an early B-cell developmental blockade and decreased mature B cells. Despite disorganized splenic architecture in Relb(-/-)cRel(-/-) mice, generation of mixed-mouse chimeras established the developmental phenotype to be B-cell intrinsic. Together, our results indicate that BAFF signals coordinate both RelB and cRel activities to ensure survival during peripheral B-cell maturation.

B cell Activation

B cell activation is initiated by the ligation of the B cell receptor with antigen and ultimately results in the production of protective antibodies against potentially pathogenic invaders. Here is the latest research.

B cell Differentiation

Depending on the signal received through the B cell receptor and other receptors, B cells differentiate into follicular or marginal zone B cells. Here is the latest research pertaining to this differentiation process.

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.
