Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Significance: On the one hand, redox emerges as a key mechanism in regulating intra- and inter-cellular signaling and homeostatic systems. On the other hand, cells of the B lineage provide powerful systems to unravel the intra- and inter-cellular mechanisms that coordinate the processes of development and terminal differentiation. Recent Advances: This essay summarizes a few paradigmatic examples of redox regulation and signal modulation that emerged from, or were confirmed by, studies on the development, differentiation and function of B cells. Critical Issues: While a role for intra- and inter-cellular redox signaling has been firmly established for differentiating B cells, many fundamental questions remain open including the cellular sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the spatial and temporal constraints of ROS signaling, the functional role of the anti-oxidant response. Future Directions: Given their robustness and biotechnological and clinical interest, cells of the B lineage continue to be fruitful goldmines from which redox biologists can dig novel mechanistic knowledge of general relevance.
