Fc
RIIB1 molecules serve as negative feedback regulator for B
cell Ag receptor-elicited activation of B cells; thus, any impaired
Fc
RIIB1 function may possibly be related to aberrant B cell
activation. We earlier found deletion polymorphism in the
Fcgr2b promoter region among mouse strains in which
systemic autoimmune disease-prone NZB, BXSB, MRL, and autoimmune
diabetes-prone nonobese diabetic, but not NZW, BALB/c, and
C57BL/6 mice have two identical deletion sites, consisting of 13 and 3
nucleotides. In this study, we established congenic C57BL/6 mice for
NZB-type Fcgr2b allele and found that NZB-type allele
down-regulates Fc
RIIB1 expression levels in germinal center B cells
and up-regulates IgG Ab responses. We did luciferase reporter assays to
determine whether NZB-type deletion polymorphism affects
transcriptional regulation of Fcgr2b gene. Although NZW-
and BALB/c-derived segments from position -302 to +585 of
Fcgr2b upstream region produced significant levels of
luciferase activities, only a limited activity was detected in the
NZB-derived sequence. EMSA and Southwestern analysis revealed that
defect in transcription activity in the NZB-derived segment is likely
due to absence of transactivation by AP-4, which binds to the
polymorphic 13 nucleotide deletion site. Our data imply that because of
the deficient AP-4 binding, the NZB-type Fcgr2b allele
polymorphism results in up-regulation of IgG Ab responses through
down-regulation of Fc
RIIB1 expression levels in germinal center B
cells, and that such polymorphism may possibly form the basis of
autoimmune susceptibility in combination with other background
contributing genes.
