International audience. B cell development in the bone marrow is a highly regulated process and expression of a functional pre-BCR represents a crucial checkpoint, common to human and mouse. In this review, we discuss pre-BCR analogies and differences between the two species leading to pre-B cell differentiation and proliferation. In addition, the mechanisms triggering pre-BCR activation are reviewed, taking into account the recent report of heparan sulfates and galectin 1 as stromal cell-derived pre-BCR ligands. Finally, ligand-induced pre-BCR activation models are proposed on the bases of the differences reported for pre-BCR and IL7 dependencies in the two species.

International audience. Background: Galectin-1 (GAL1) is a ligand for the pre-BCR which is involved in the proliferation and differentiation of normal pre-BII cells. Results: GAL1-dependent pre-BCR clustering is dri...

Osteoclast activity modulates B-cell development in the bone marrow.

International audience. B-cell development is dependent on the interactions between B-cell precursors and bone marrow stromal cells, but the role of osteoclasts (OCLs) in this process remains unknown. B lymphocytope...
