Popis: | The RNA-binding protein heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L-like (hnRNPLL) controls alternative splicing of protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type C (Ptprc) which encodes CD45. hnRNPLL deficiency leads to a failure in silencing Ptprc exons 4-6 causing aberrant expression of the corresponding CD45 isoforms, namely, CD45RA, RB and RC. While an N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea-induced point mutation in murine Hnrnpll results in loss of peripheral naive T cells, its role in B-cell biology remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that B-cell development in the bone marrow of Hnrnpllthu/thu mice is normal and the number of mature B-cell subsets in the spleen and peritoneal cavity is comparable to control littermates. In response to in vivo immunization, Hnrnpllthu/thu mice were deficient in generating germinal center (GC) B cells, and analysis of mixed bone marrow chimeras revealed that the GC B-cell deficiency was a B-cell extrinsic effect of the hnRNPLL mutation. Mature Hnrnpllthu/thu B cells proliferated normally in response to various B-cell receptor- and Toll-like receptor-mediated stimuli. Similarly, in vitro stimulation of mutant B cells led to normal generation of plasmablasts, but mutant plasmablasts failed to downregulate B220 expression because of the inability of cells to undergo proper CD45 pre-messenger RNA alternative splicing. These findings collectively suggest that, like in T and natural killer T cells, the mutation disrupts hnRNPLL-mediated alternative splicing of the Ptprc gene in plasmablasts, but this dysregulation of Ptprc alternative splicing does not affect the development and function of B cells. |
