Innate-like B-1a cells are an important cell population for production of natural IgM and interleukin-10 (IL-10), and act as the first line against pathogens. We determined that CMTM7 is essential for B-1a cell development. Following Cmtm7 (CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 7) knockout, B-1a cell numbers decreased markedly in all investigated tissues. Using a bone marrow and fetal liver adoptive transfer model and conditional knockout mice, we showed that the reduction of B-1a cells resulted from B-cell-intrinsic defects. Because of B-1a cell loss,Cmtm7-deficient mice produced less IgM and IL-10, and were more susceptible to microbial sepsis. Self-renewal and homeostasis of mature B-1a cells inCmtm7−/−mice were not impaired, suggesting the effect ofCmtm7on B-1a cell development. Further investigations demonstrated that the function ofCmtm7in B-1a cell development occurred at the specific transitional B-1a (TrB-1a) stage.Cmtm7deficiency resulted in a slow proliferation and high cell death rate of TrB-1a cells. Thus,Cmtm7controls B-1a cell development at the transitional stage.
