The antigen receptor gene rearrangement at a given locus is tightly regulated with respect to cell lineage and developmental stage by an ill-defined mechanism. To study the possible role of precursor B cell antigen receptor (pre-BCR) signaling in the regulation of the ordered immunoglobulin (Ig) gene rearrangement during B cell differentiation, a newly developed system using μ heavy (H) chain membrane exon (μm)-deficient mice was employed. In this system, the antibody-mediated cross-linking of Igβ on developmentally arrested progenitor B (pro-B) cells mimicked pre-BCR signaling to induce early B cell differentiation in vivo. Analyses with ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction revealed that the Igβ cross-linking induced the redirection of Ig gene rearrangements, namely, the suppression of ongoing rearrangements at the H chain locus and the activation of rearrangements at the light (L) chain locus. Upon the cross-linking, the κL chain germline transcription was found to be upregulated whereas the VH germline transcription was promptly downregulated. Notably, this alteration of the accessibility at the H and L chain loci was detected even before the induction of cellular differentiation became detectable by the change of surface phenotype. Thus, the pre-BCR signaling through Igβ appears to regulate the ordered Ig gene rearrangement by altering the Ig locus accessibility.
