B cell development in the bone marrow is critical for producing numerous B cells that play an essential role in the adaptive immune response. B cells develop from common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs), which then differentiate through a series of stages, which include prepro-B cells, pro-B cells, pre-B cells, immature B cells, and mature B cells. 1 Within the pro-B stage, cells undergo proliferation to expand the pro-B cell pool and complete the recombination of the VH to DHJH segments to form the μ chain. However, the mechanisms involved in pro-B cell development are not fully understood. There have been several studies about the critical role of ubiquitination modifications in B cell development. 2, 3 Here, we report that DNA damage binding protein 1 (DDB1), an adaptor protein in CUL4-ring E3 ligases that is highly expressed in a variety of highly proliferative precursor cells, 4 is involved in regulating pro-B cell development. We initially examined DDB1 expression in B cell precursors at different stages. Pro-B cells expressed the highest amount of DDB1 (Fig. S1a), indicating that this protein might be involved in B lymphocytopoiesis. To further explore the role of DDB1 in B cell development, we crossed Ddb1 fl/fl mice with Mb1Cre mice to delete DDB1 from late-stage prepro-B cells. The efficiency of DDB1 deletion was verified (Fig. S1b). Strikingly, B cells in the spleen, lymph nodes and peripheral blood were severely decreased in DDB1-deficient mice (Fig. S1c). Few serum immunoglobulins were detectable in DDB1-deficient mice (Fig. S1d). Then, B cell subsets at different developmental stages in the bone marrow were analyzed. The number of cells in the pro-B stage decreased (Fig. 1 a). Together, these data demonstrated that DDB1 disruption severely impaired B cell development at the pro-B cell stage. Within the pro-B stage, IL-7 signaling provides survival and proliferation signaling and regulates the V-DJ recombination of immunoglobulin heavy chain. 5 However, DDB1 deletion did not induce obvious defects in IL-7R expression in pro-B cells (Fig. S2a). During the pro-B stage, only cells with successfully rearranged VDJ segments enter the next stage. PAX5 is an important regulator of VH-DHJH recombination. DDB1 deletion did not affect PAX5 expression in pro-B cells (Fig. S2b). The recombination of DH to JH and proximal VH segments (VH7183 and VHQ52 to DHJH) was intact, while the recombination of distal VH segments (VHGam3. 8, VH3609, and VHJ558 to DHJH) was slightly diminished in DDB1-deficient pro-B cells (Fig. S2c). This finding might explain the modest decrease in the intracellular μ chain in DDB1-deficient pro-B cells (Fig. S2d). It was unclear whether the loss of pro-B cells was resulted from elevated apoptosis. We performed Annexin V staining and found that the percentage of Annexin V-positive pro-B cells was comparable between wild-type and DDB1-deficient mice (Fig. S2e). Therefore, the severe loss of pro-B cells in DDB1-deficient mice was not caused by altered IL-7R expression, V-DJ recombination of IgH or cell apoptosis. The proliferation of pro-B cells following VH-DHJH rearrangement is crucial for the maintenance of the B cell pool. Next, we examined whether the loss of pro-B cells was caused by proliferation defects. Thus, we detected the proliferation markers proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Ki67. DDB1-deficient pro-B cells expressed more PCNA and Ki67 (Fig. 1 b, Fig. S3a). Consistently, pro-B cells without DDB1 were larger (Fig. 1 c). Cell cycle analysis showed that DDB1 deficiency led to G2/M-phase arrest in pro-B cells, with a slight block in S phase (Fig. 1 d). Western blot analysis also showed …
