Dock5 controls the peripheral B cell differentiation via regulating BCR signaling and actin reorganization
Cellular Immunology(2019)
摘要
As an atypical guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), Dock5 has been extensively studied in cellular functions. However, the role of Dock5 on B-cell immunity still remain elusive. In this study, we generated a Dock5 knockout mouse model to study the effect of Dock5 deficiency on B cell development, differentiation and BCR signaling. We found that the absence of Dock5 leads to a moderate effect on B cell development in the bone marrow and reduces follicular (FO) and marginal zone (MZ) B cells. Mechanistically, the key positive upstream B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling molecules, CD19 and Brutons tyrosine kinase (Btk), whose activation determines the fate of FO and MZ B cells, is reduced in Dock5 KO B cells upon antigenic stimulation by using total internal reflection fluorscence microscopy (TIRF) and immunoblot. Interestingly we found that the cellular filamentous actin (F-actin), also decreased in Dock5 KO B cells upon stimulation, which, in turn, offers feedback to BCR signaling. Our study has unveiled that Dock5 regulates the peripheral B cell differentiation via controlling the CD19-Btk signaling axis as well as actin reorganization.
