Disease relevance of Tnfrsf13c

  • Unexpectedly, the BAFF-R mutation in MRL-lpr mice did not result in decreased autoantibody production, hypergammaglobulinaemia or immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis [1].
  • Further studies found increased numbers of B cells in the bone marrow of BAFF-R-mutant MRL-lpr mice compared to the BAFF-R-intact lupus mice [1].
  • By replacing BAFF-R signals, constitutive canonical NF-kappaB signaling, a hallmark of various B cell lymphomas, causes accumulation of resting B cells and promotes their proliferation and survival upon activation, but does not per se induce lymphomagenesis [2].
  • Recent studies on BAFF, a member of the tumor necrosis factor family, and the discovery of a new BAFF receptor have revealed that this ligand-receptor pair is essential for B-cell survival and differentiation, holding promise for a better understanding and treatment of some autoimmune diseases and lymphomas [3].
  • Several QTLs controlled the mastocytosis in this intercross, and it was not possible to determine whether any of them co-segregated with Bcmd-1 [4].
 

High impact information on Tnfrsf13c

  • In a Perspective, Waldschmidt and Noelle discuss new findings showing that the TNF family ligand BAFF and its receptor BAFF-R are crucial for selecting transitional B cells into the mature B cell pool (Thompson et al., Schiemann et al.) [5].
  • In addition, canonical NF-kappaB activity mediates differentiation and proper localization of follicular and marginal zone B cells in the absence of BAFF-R, but not CD19 [2].
  • TNF receptor (TNFR) superfamily members, CD40, and BAFFR play critical roles in B cell survival and differentiation [6].
  • These findings demonstrate that Act1 plays an important role in the homeostasis of B cells by attenuating CD40 and BAFFR signaling [6].
  • Heightened expression of B cell maturation antigen (BCMA), and lowered expression of transmembrane activator and cyclophilin ligand interactor and BAFF receptor in PCs relative to resting B cells suggests a vital role of BCMA in PC survival [7].
 

Biological context of Tnfrsf13c

 

Anatomical context of Tnfrsf13c

 

Associations of Tnfrsf13c with chemical compounds

  • The Br3 antibody, which specifically recognizes CldUrd, was applied first, followed by indirect staining with goat anti-mouse phycoerythrin [14].
 

Regulatory relationships of Tnfrsf13c

  • These studies clearly demonstrate that BAFF regulates Ab responses in vivo through receptors in addition to BAFF-R [15].
  • In addition, we propose that BAFF-R signaling enhances the expression of survival genes through direct chromatin modifications in NF-kappa B target gene promoters [16].
 

Other interactions of Tnfrsf13c

  • A BAFF-specific receptor (BAFF-R; BR3) appears to mediate these functions via activation of the NF-kappaB2 pathway [8].
  • Therefore, our data suggest that the BAFF-R-mediated survival signal, provided by PLC-gamma2, is not sufficient to promote B cell maturation, and that, in addition, activation of PLC-gamma2 by BCR is required for B cell development [11].
  • This indicates that BASH-mediated BCR signaling primarily controls B cell survival and maturation, with BAFF-R signaling and its inhibition of PKCdelta acting as a secondary regulator [17].
  • In addition, Bcmd-2 or a linked locus controls mastocytosis, while Bcmd-1 does not, as indicated by splenic mast cell analysis in the congenic strains [4].
  • We have used the CBA/N X-linked B-cell maturation defect (xid) as a probe to analyse the B-cell subset involved in spontaneous anti-DNA production in MRL/1 and NZB mice [18].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Tnfrsf13c

  • Three polyclonal antisera recognizing the uncleaved native toxin could be found using an ELISA test (Br3, Bro2, Bro5) [19].
