    Abstract Homeostasis of metabolism by hormone production is crucial for maintaining physiological integrity, as disbalance can cause severe metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus. Here, we show that antibody-deficient mice and immunodeficiency patients have subphysiological blood glucose concentrations. Restoring blood glucose physiology required total IgG injections and insulin-specific IgG antibodies detected in total IgG preparations and in the serum of healthy individuals. In addition to the insulin-neutralizing anti-insulin IgG, we identified two fractions of anti-insulin IgM in the serum of healthy individuals. These autoreactive IgM fractions differ in their affinity to insulin. Interestingly, the low-affinity IgM fraction (anti-insulin IgM

    Abstract Mature B cells co-express IgM and IgD B cell antigen receptors (BCR) on their surface. While IgM BCR expression is already essential at early stages of development, the role of the IgD-class BCR remains unclear as most B cell functions appeared unchanged in IgD-deficient mice. Here, we show that IgD-deficient mice have an accelerated rate of B cell responsiveness as they activate antibody production within 24h after immunization, whereas wildtype (WT) animals required 3 days to activate primary antibody responses. Strikingly, soluble monovalent antigen suppresses IgG antibody production induced by multivalent antigen in WT mice. In contrast, IgD-deficient mice were not able to modulate IgG responses suggesting that IgD controls the activation rate of B cells and subsequent antibody production by sensing and distinguishing antigen-valences. Using an insulin-derived peptide we tested the role of IgD in autoimmunity. We show that primary autoreactive antibody responses are generated in WT and in IgD-deficient mice. However, insulin-specific autoantibodies were detected earlier and caused more severe symptoms of autoimmune diabetes in IgD-deficient mice as compared to WT mice. The rapid control of autoimmune diabetes in WT animals was associated with the generation of high-affinity IgM that protects insulin from autoimmune degradation. In IgD-deficient mice, however, the generation of high-affinity protective IgM is delayed resulting in prolonged autoimmune diabetes. Our data suggest that IgD is required for the transition from primary, highly autoreactive, to secondary antigen-specific antibody responses generated by affinity maturation.

    Abstract Phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) signaling is important for the survival of numerous cell types and class IA of PI3K is specifically required for the development of B cells but not for T cell development. Here, we show that class IA PI3K-mediated signals induce the expression of the transcription factor Pax5, which plays a central role in B cell commitment and differentiation by activating the expression of central B cell-specific signaling proteins such as SLP-65 and CD19. Defective class IA PI3K function leads to reduction in Pax5 expression and prevents B cell development beyond the stage expressing the precursor B cell receptor (pre-BCR). Investigating the mechanism of PI3K-induced Pax5 expression revealed that it involves a network of transcription factors including FoxO1 and Irf4 that directly binds to the Pax5 gene. Together, our results suggest that PI3K signaling links survival and differentiation of developing B cells with B cell identity and that decreased PI3K activity in pre-B cells results in reduced Pax5 expression and lineage plasticity.

    Abstract Activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling plays a central role in regulating proliferation and survival of B cells. Here, we tested the hypothesis that B cell receptor (BCR)-mediated activation of PI3K induces the terminal differentiation factor Blimp-1 that interferes with proliferation and survival, thereby controlling the expansion of activated B cells. In fact, B-cell-specific inactivation of Pten, the negative regulator of PI3K signaling, leads to deregulated PI3K activity and elevated Blimp-1 expression. Combined deficiency for Pten and Blimp-1 results in abnormal expansion of B-1 B cells and splenomegaly. Interestingly, Blimp-1 also acts at early stages of B cell development to regulate B cell selection, as Blimp-1 deficiency results in an increased proportion of autoreactive B cells. Together, our data suggest that the combined requirement of deregulated PI3K signaling in addition to defective terminal differentiation represents the basis for proper selection and expansion of developing B cells.

Thus, the interplay between PI3K activity and regulation of terminal differentiation determines proper selection and expansion of developing B cells.

    Abstract In contrast to other B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) classes, the function of IgD BCR on mature B cells remains largely elusive as mature B cells co-express IgM, which is sufficient for development, survival, and activation of B cells. Here, we show that IgD expression is regulated by the forkhead box transcription factor FoxO1, thereby shifting the responsiveness of mature B cells towards recognition of multivalent antigen. FoxO1 is repressed by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling and requires the lipid phosphatase Pten for its activation. Consequently, Pten-deficient B cells expressing knock-ins for BCR

    Abstract B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) expression is a key feature of most B-cell lymphomas, but the mechanisms of BCR signal induction and the involvement of autoantigen recognition remain unclear. In follicular lymphoma (FL) B cells, BCR expression is retained despite a chromosomal translocation that links the antiapoptotic gene BCL2 to the regulatory elements of immunoglobulin genes, thereby disrupting 1 heavy-chain allele. A remarkable feature of FL-BCRs is the acquisition of potential N-glycosylation sites during somatic hypermutation. The introduced glycans carry mannose termini, which create potential novel binding sites for mannose-specific lectins. Here, we investigated the effect of N-linked variable-region glycosylation for BCR interaction with cognate antigen and with lectins of different origins. N-glycans were found to severely impair BCR specificity and affinity to the initial cognate antigen. In addition, we found that lectins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia cenocepacia bind and stimulate FL cells. Human exposure to these bacteria can occur by contact with soil and water. In addition, they represent opportunistic pathogens in susceptible hosts. Understanding the role of bacterial lectins might elucidate the pathogenesis of FL and establish novel therapeutic approaches.
