Functions of Bruton's tyrosine kinase in mast and B cells

Y Kawakami et al. J Leukoc Biol. 1999 Mar.

Abstract

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) plays crucial roles in B cell differentiation as well as mast cell activation through the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI). Defects in the btk gene lead to agammaglobulinemia (XLA) in humans and X-linked immunodeficiency (xid) in mice. Mast cells from xid and btk null mice exhibit mild defects in degranulation and severe impairments in the production of proinflammatory cytokines upon FcepsilonRI cross-linking. Recent studies demonstrated the role of Btk in a sustained increase in intracellular calcium concentrations in response to antigen receptor stimulation. Btk is also involved in the activation of stress-activated protein kinases, JNK/SAPK1/2, and thereby regulates c-Jun and other transcription factors that are important in cytokine gene activation. Regulation of the JNK/SAPK activation pathway by Btk may be related to the proapoptotic function of Btk in the programmed cell death in these hematopoietic cells.
