Abstract

PLCgamma2 plays a critical role in B cell receptor (BCR) signaling and its targeted deletion results in defective B cell development and function. Here, we show that PLCgamma2 deficiency specifically blocks B cell maturation at the transitional type 2 (T2) to follicular (FO) B cell transition and the PLCgamma2 pathway regulates survival of B cells. BCR-induced apoptosis is dramatically enhanced in all subsets of splenic PLCgamma2-deficient B cells, especially in T2 and FO B cell subpopulations. We also find that all splenic PLCgamma2-deficient B cell subpopulations express abnormally low levels of Bcl-2 protein. In addition, PLCgamma2 deficiency disrupts BCR-mediated induction of A1 expression. Enforced expression of Bcl-2 prevents BCR-induced apoptosis in all splenic PLCgamma2-deficient B cell subpopulations and partially restores the numbers of PLCgamma2-deficient FO B cells. In contrast to Bcl-2, enforced expression of A1 preferentially prevents BCR-induced apoptosis in PLCgamma2-deficient FO B cells and partially restores the numbers of these B cells. Therefore, the PLCgamma2 pathway provides a survival signal via regulation of Bcl-2 in all splenic B cell subpopulations and via additional induction of A1 in mature FO B cells.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • PLCγ2−/− mice show a block in B cell maturation from transitional 2 to follicular B cells, with increased BCR-induced apoptosis.

    “The first PLCγ2−/− mouse studies showed a block in B cell maturation from transitional 2 to follicular B cells, with these cells also exhibiting increased levels of BCR-induced apoptosis (28, 32).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
