http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/11160324http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Aging has been associated with intrinsic changes of the humoral immune response, which may lead to an increased occurrence of autoimmune disorders and pathogenic susceptibility. The transcription factor Pax-5 is a key regulator of B cell development. Pax-5a/B cell-specific activator protein and an alternatively spliced isoform, Pax-5d, may have opposing functions in transcriptional regulation due to the lack of a transactivation domain in Pax-5d. To study B cell-specific changes that occur during the aging process, we investigated expression patterns of Pax-5a and 5d in mature B cells of young and aged mice. RNase protection assays showed a similar transcriptional pattern for both age groups that indicates that aging has no affect on transcription initiation or alternative splicing for either isoform. In contrast, a significant reduction in the DNA binding activity of Pax-5a but not Pax-5d protein was observed in aged B cells in vitro, while Western blot analyses showed that similar levels of Pax-5a and 5d proteins were present in both age groups. The observed decrease in Pax-5a binding activity correlated with changes in expression of two Pax-5 target genes in aged B cells. Expression of the Ig J chain and the secreted form of Ig mu, which are both known to be suppressed by Pax-5a in mature B cells, were increased in B cells of aged mice. Together, our studies suggest that changes associated with the aging phenotype cause posttranslational modification(s) of Pax-5a but not Pax-5d, which may lead to an abnormal B cell phenotype in aged mice, associated with elevated levels of J chain, and secretion of IgM."xsd:string
