Human Gene Set: GSE21063_3H_VS_16H_ANTI_IGM_STIM_BCELL_DN


Standard name GSE21063_3H_VS_16H_ANTI_IGM_STIM_BCELL_DN
Systematic name M8271
Brief description Genes down-regulated in B lymphocytes stimulated by anti-IgM: 3h versus 16h.
Full description or abstract Triggering of B cell receptors (BCR) induces a massive synthesis of NFATc1 in splenic B cells. By inactivating the Nfatc1 gene and re-expressing NFATc1 we show that NFATc1 levels are critical for the survival of splenic B cells upon BCR stimulation. NFATc1 ablation led to decreased BCR-induced Ca++ flux and proliferation of splenic B cells, increased apoptosis and suppressed germinal centre formation and immunoglobulin class switch by T cell-independent antigens. By controlling IL-10 synthesis in B cells, NFATc1 supported the proliferation and IL-2 synthesis of T cells in vitro and appeared to contribute to the mild clinical course of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis in mice bearing NFATc1-/- B cells. These data indicate NFATc1 as a key factor controlling B cell function.
