CD5+ B (or B-1) cells are the
normal precursors of B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. They
differ from conventional B (B-2) cells with respect to their phenotype
and mitogenic responses and are often secretors of the natural
polyreactive antibodies in the serum. The origin of B-1 cells remains
controversial, and the relationship between B-1 cells and autoreactive
B cells is unclear. Here, we compare the signaling pathways that are
activated by the engagement of the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) in B-1 and B-2 cells. Stimulation of the BCR leads to the induced activation of the three major classes of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPK, as well as the Akt kinase and the
transcription factors nuclear factor of activated T cells (NF-AT) and
NF- B in B-2 cells. In contrast, B-1 cells have constitutive activation of ERK and NF-AT but exhibit delayed JNK and lack p38 MAPK
and NF- B induction upon BCR cross-linking. The lack of NF- B activation in B-1 cells may be due to a lack of Akt activation in these
cells. Furthermore, our study using specific inhibitors reveals that
the extended survival of B-1 cells in culture is not due to the
constitutive activation of ERK; nor is it due to Akt signaling or
Bcl-xL up-regulation, since these are not induced in B-1
cells. The current findings of altered MAPK and NF-AT activation and
lack of NF- B induction in B-1 cells indicate that these cells have
signaling properties similar to tolerant B cells that are chronically
exposed to self-antigens. Indeed, BCR stimulation of B-1 cells does not
lead to their full activation as indicated by their lack of maximal
up-regulation of specific markers such as CD25, CD69, and CD86.
