Antigen receptor signaling competence and the determination of B cell fate in B-lymphopoiesis.

چکیده
Recent studies suggest that developmental check-points in B-lymphopoiesis are set in order to test the B cell receptor signaling competence. In these check-points ligand-independent and ligand-dependent receptor signals confer B-lymphopoiesis with positive and negative selection events. As a consequence, B-lymphocytes are forced to make crucial fate decisions to determine developmental progression, survival or apoptosis. In here we review recent progress in unraveling molecular and cellular mechanisms for the role of B cell receptor signaling competence in determination of the B cell fate.

CD19 regulates positive selection and maturation in B lymphopoiesis: lack of CD19 imposes developmental arrest of immature B cells and consequential stimulation of receptor editing.
Ligand-independent signals that are produced by the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) confer an important positive selection checkpoint for immature B cells. Generation of inappropriate signals imposes developmental arrest of immature B cells, though the fate of these cells has not been investigated. Studies have shown that the lack of CD19 results in inappropriate signaling. In immunoglobulin tran...

The immune system of mammalian organisms undergoes alterations that may account for an increased susceptibility to certain infections, autoimmune diseases, or malignancies. Well characterized are age related defect in T cell functions and cell mediated immunity. Although it is well established that the functional properties of T cells decrease with age, its biochemical and molecular nature is...

Background: Precursor B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (precursor B-ALL) oc-curs due to the uncontrolled proliferation of B-lymphoid precursors arrested at a par-ticular stage of B-cell development. Precursor-B-ALL is classified mainly into pro-B-ALL, common-ALL and pre-B-ALL. The Common Acute Lymphoblastic Antigen CD10 is the marker for common-ALL. Objective: This study was aimed to examine the ...

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome describes a heterogeneous group of cytokine storm disorders, with different immunogens and cytokines leading to variations in organ pathology. The severe inflammation generated by the cytokine storm results in widespread organ pathology including alterations in T- and B-lymphocyte counts. This study explores the roles of TLR9 and IFN-γR stimulation in dec...
