Differentiation of B cells into antibody secreting cells induces changes in gene transcription, Igh RNA processing, the unfolded protein response, and cell architecture. The transcription elongation factor ELL2 (eleven nineteen lysine-rich leukemia gene) stimulates the processing of the secreted form of the Igh mRNA from the heavy chain gene. Mice (mus musculus) with the ELL2 gene floxed in either exon 1 or exon 3 were constructed and crossed to CD19 driven cre/ CD19+. The B-cell specific ELL2 conditional knockouts (ell2loxp/loxp CD19cre/+) exhibit curtailed humoral responses both in NP-ficoll and NP-KLH immunized animals; recall responses were also diminished. The number of immature and recirculating B cells in the bone marrow is increased in the conditional knockouts while plasma cells in spleen are reduced relative to control animals. There are fewer IgG1 antibody producing cells in the bone marrow of conditional knockouts. LPS ex vivo stimulated B220loCD138+ cells from ELL2 deficient mouse spleens are 4-fold less abundant than from control splenic B-cells, have a paucity of secreted Igh, and distended, abnormal appearing ER. IRE1alpha is efficiently phosphorylated but the amounts of Ig kappa, ATF6, BiP, Cyclin B2, OcaB (BOB1, Pou2af1), and XBP1 mRNAs, unspliced and spliced, are severely reduced in ELL2 deficient cells. ELL2 enhances the expression of BCMA, important for long term survival. Transcription yields from the cyclin B2 and the canonical UPR promoter elements are up-regulated by ELL2 cDNA. Thus ELL2 is important for many aspects of antibody secretion, XBP1 expression, and the unfolded protein response.
