Mst1 is a serine/ threonine kinase involved in cell survival, proliferation, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis. In mice, Mst1 regulates actin dynamics required for T-cell adhesion and migration, which correlate with thymic egress and entry into lymphatic tissue. The role of Mst1 in B cells and how it may control actin-dependent processes has not been well characterized. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) deficiency only moderately affects development and B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling, suggestingWASP likely associates with other molecules. We investigated whether Mst1 associates with WASP to regulate B-cell development and activation. Experimenting on Mst1/WASP double knockout (DKO) mice, we found a severe defect in the bone marrow B-cell development, and BCR signaling in the DKO mice was severely reduced. Even though WASP or Mst1 could influence the early B-cell activation, we found that the early activation events such as B-cell spreading, BCR clustering, and BCR signaling weremuchmore impaired in the B cells from DKOmice. Furthermore, reciprocal regulation between Mst1 and WASP was observed in WASP and Mst1 KO mice, whereby the localization and function of phosphorylated WASP were affected in Mst1 KO mice. Most importantly, Mst1 inhibits the expression of WASP by decreasing the expression of WASP-interacting protein. Interestingly, we also found that WASP deficiency in patients and mice interferes with phosphorylated Mst1 localization and therefore function in B cells. Overall, our study provides a partner for WASP to regulate B-cell development and BCR signaling, as well as the reciprocal regulating molecular mechanism of one another.
