Notch1 signaling regulates B and T lymphocyte development and alsoin vitropromotes antibody secretion upon B cell activation. However, it is still unclear about the role of Notch1 in antibody production uponin vitroandin vivomixture lymphocytes activation. We first showed that Notch1 expressed in LPS-activated CD19hiB cells and CD19cremediated Notch1 knock-down in LPS-activated B cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that Notch1 knock-down in B cells reduced antibody production in LPS-stimulated B cells but did not affect antibody production in LPS-stimulated splenocytes and in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice. Importantly, Notch1 ligands Dll1 and Jag1 expressed in B cells and pre-coated Notch1 protein promotes Notch1-knocked down B cells to produce antibody in LPS-stimulated B cells suggesting that Notch1 in other cells may promote antibody production by binding its ligands Dll1 and Jag1 in B cells. Together, our results suggest that both Notch1 and its ligands in B cells play an important role in antibody production.
