Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent stimulator of B-cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation. We examined the genetic response of B-Lineage cells to LPS via trapping of expressed genes with a gene-trap retrovirus. This analysis showed that expression of only a small fraction of genes is altered during LPS stimulation of B-lineage cells. Isolation of the cellular portion of the trapped LPS-response genes via 5' RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) cloning identified novel genes for all the cloned loci. These novel LPS-response genes were also found to have differentiation stage-restricted expression within the B-lymphoid lineage. That LPS-response genes in B cells also have differentiation stage-restricted expression suggests that these genes may be involved in the control of B-cell function and differentiation, since the known members of this class of genes have frequently been found to play a role in the function and differentiation of B-lineage cells. The isolation of novel members of this class of genes, including a gene that contains a putative SH2 domain, will further increase our understanding of the molecular events involved in the control of B-cell differentiation and function.
