Regulation of B-cell survival by BAFF-dependent PKCdelta-mediated nuclear signalling

Abstract

Approximately 65% of B cells generated in human bone marrow are potentially harmful autoreactive B cells. Most of these cells are clonally deleted in the bone marrow, while those autoreactive B cells that escape to the periphery are anergized or perish before becoming mature B cells. Escape of self-reactive B cells from tolerance permits production of pathogenic auto-antibodies; recent studies suggest that extended B lymphocyte survival is a cause of autoimmune disease in mice and humans. Here we report a mechanism for the regulation of peripheral B-cell survival by serine/threonine protein kinase Cdelta (PKCdelta): spontaneous death of resting B cells is regulated by nuclear localization of PKCdelta that contributes to phosphorylation of histone H2B at serine 14 (S14-H2B). We show that treatment of B cells with the potent B-cell survival factor BAFF ('B-cell-activating factor belonging to the TNF family') prevents nuclear accumulation of PKCdelta. Our data suggest the existence of a previously unknown BAFF-induced and PKCdelta-mediated nuclear signalling pathway which regulates B-cell survival.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
