• W794274082 abstract "Elevated expression of ‘B cell activating factor’ (BAFF), a potent B cell survival factor contributes to the expansion of low-affinity self-reactive B cells during the establishment of tolerance. However, mechanisms leading to BAFF over-expression in autoimmune diseases are not understood. We reported the discovery of a new variant for BAFF, 4BAFF in humans (in which exon 4 is excised) or 5BAFF in mice (in which exon 5 is excised), which acts as a transcription factor of the full-length form of BAFF, and which is preferentially found in cells isolated from patients with autoimmune diseases. When transfected in human B cells, D4BAFF upregulates a large number of genes associated with immune response and especially innate immunity and regulation of apoptotis. Furthermore D4BAFF acts, in association with p50 from the NF- B pathway, as a transcription factor for its own parent gene. Another important finding is that 4BAFF is an important component of the efficacy of regulatory B cell activity. Our work introduces an entirely novel concept in biology suggesting that a human cytokine gene can be transcriptionally regulated by the activity of one of its own splice variants.We have also tried to understand the complexity of the various forms of BAFF. We observed that epithelial cells expressed BAFF-receptor (BR3) and produce BAFF suggesting autocrine properties. Blocking BR3 results in nuclear translocation of PKC promoting epithelial cell apoptosis.Furthermore, only some forms of BAFF are required for epithelial cell survival. Finally, we studied the consequences of the expression of TLR9 on the B cell surface and demonstrated that TLR9 acts as a co-receptor of the B cell receptor to influence B cell fate independently of CpG binding. We show that CpG activation of B cells, acting synergistically with BCR signals, was inhibited by anti-TLR9 stimulation. Induction of CD25 expression and proliferation of B cells were thus down-regulated by engagement of cell surface TLR9. Overall, our results indicate that TLR9 expressed on B cell plasma membrane might be a negative regulator of endosomal TLR9, and could provide a novel control by which activation of autoreactive B cells is restrained. All these findings contribute to a better understanding on immunopathology of autoimmune diseases with potential applications in therapy." @default.
