The development of B lymphocytes in the bone marrow is a highly ordered process with the goal of somatically assembling its antigen receptor through V(D)J recombination. In this process, the immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene gets assembled first, followed by the light-chain gene. Interestingly, a developing B cell monitors its own progress in completing heavy-chain gene rearrangement before it proceeds to the next stage of development to rearrange its light-chain gene. The successful rearrangement of a heavy-chain gene results in the production of an immunoglobulin mu protein that gets deposited on the plasma membrane in a signaling complex called the pre-BCR. The phenomenon known as the pro-to-pre-B cell transition, regulated by this pre-BCR, is reviewed in the introductory chapter. Next, we made and analyzed transgenic mice expressing a mutant pre-BCR missing the variable, C<sub>H</sub>1, C<sub>H</sub>2 and C<sub>H</sub>3 extracellular domains of mu heavy-chain, to determine if these domains play a role in signaling. Our findings suggest that these extracellular portions of the pre-BCR are dispensable for signaling and precursor B (pre-B) cell development. Finally, we consider Abl tyrosine kinase as an antagonist of pre-BCR signaling. Indeed, v-Abl transforms progenitor B (pro-B) cells by virtue of its constitutive kinase activity and results in their developmental arrest. These transformed pro-B cells appear to be prohibited from carrying out precursor B cell developmental events such as rearrangement of immunoglobulin light-chain genes. However, upon treatment with STI571, an inhibitor of Abl kinase, these cells show evidence of bypassing the pro-to-pre-B transition. To determine how v-Abl arrests pre-B cell development and/or how STI571 rescues B cell development, we undertook DNA microarray experiments to compare gene expression in three Abl-transformed lines when untreated or treated with STI571. This strategy led to the identification of numerous transcripts from genes which may be responsible for the transformation effects of v-Abl and the apparent resumption of pre-B cell differentiation upon STI571 treatment. For example, we found that STI571 resulted in the rapid induction of the transcription factors SpiB and IRF4, which may play a role in activating light-chain gene rearrangement both at the kappa and lambda loci. Taken together these findings provide a better understanding of the function of v-Abl in Abelson-transformed pro-B cells. The discovery of genes differentially-regulated by v-Abl provides a foundation for the study of the roles of c-Abl in B cell development <italic>in vivo</italic>. In conclusion, we propose a model in which the tyrosine kinase activity of c-Abl, and perhaps its close relative Arg, is down-regulated in order for B cell development to proceed through the pro-to-pre-B cell transition.
