Bcl-3 is an atypical member of the family of IκB proteins. Unlike the classic members, Bcl-3 functions as a nuclear transcriptional cofactor that may, depending on context, promote or suppress genes via association with p50/NF-κB1 or p52/NF-κB2 homodimers. Bcl-3 is also an oncogene, since it is a partner in recurrent translocations in B cell tumors, resulting in deregulated expression. Bcl-3’s functions, however, remain poorly understood. We have investigated Bcl-3’s role in B cells and discovered a previously unknown involvement in the splenic development of these cells. Loss of Bcl-3 in B cells resulted in significantly more marginal zone (MZ) and fewer follicular (FO) B cells. Conversely, transgenic expression of Bcl-3 in B cells generated fewer MZ and more FO B cells. Both Bcl-3−/− FO and MZ B cells were more responsive to LPS stimulation compared with their wild-type counterparts, including increased proliferation. By contrast, Bcl-3−/− FO B cells were more prone to apoptosis upon B cell receptor (BCR) stimulation, also limiting their expansion. The data reveal Bcl-3 as a regulator of B cell fate determination, restricting the MZ path and favoring the FO pathway, at least in part via increased signal-specific survival of the latter, a finding of relevance to its tumorigenic activity.
