ABSTRACT
LRRK2 is the causal molecule of autosomal dominant familial Parkinson's disease. B2 cells express a much higher LRRK2 mRNA level than B1 cells. To reveal the function of LRRK2 in B cells, we analyzed B cell functions in LRRK2-knockout (LRRK2(-/-)) mice. LRRK2(-/-) mice had significantly higher counts of peritoneal B1 cells than wild-type mice. After BCR stimulation, phosphor-Erk1/2 of splenic B2 cells was enhanced to a higher degree in LRRK2(-/-) mice. LRRK2(-/-) mice had a significantly higher serum IgA level, and TNP-Ficoll immunization increased the titer of serum anti-TNP IgM antibody. LRRK2 may play important roles in B cells.
