Dock8 deficiency leads to immunodeficiency, and the role of Dock8 in B-cell development and function has been revealed; however, the role of DocK8 on B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling and function of memory B cells remains elusive. In this study, we generated a Dock8 knockout mouse model and collected peripheral blood mononuclear cells from Dock8 patients to study the effect of Dock8 deficiency on the BCR signaling and activation of memory B cells with confocal microscopy and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. The activation of key, positive upstream BCR signaling molecules, pCD19 and phosphorylated Brutons tyrosine kinase (pBtk), is reduced. Interestingly, the total protein and activated levels of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) are decreased in Dock8-deficient mouse B cells. Our previous research has shown that WASP positively regulates cd19 transcription; further-more, we found that Dock8 regulates cd19 transcription. What we found in Dock8 patients can be a phenotype copied from Dock8 mice. The early activation of memory B cells from Dock8 patients is disrupted with reduced BCR clustering, B-cell spreading, and signalosome recruitment into the degree of naive B cells, as well as the transition from naive B cells to unswitched memory B cells. Overall, our study provides a novel mechanism for Dock8 regulation of BCR signaling by regulating cd19 transcription, as well as the underlying mechanism of noncompetence of memory B cells in Dock8 patients.
