The Syk tyrosine kinase is a key molecule in the development of the B cell lineage and the activation of B lymphocytes after Ag recognition by the B cell Ag receptor (BCR). Several genetic studies with chicken B cells have reported that the recruitment of Syk by BCR is essential for activation of a cascade of signaling molecules including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, mitogen-activated protein kinases, Ras signaling pathways, phospholipase C-gamma2 activation, and calcium mobilization. The identification of a Syk-deficient mouse IIA1.6/A20 B cell line provided us the opportunity to investigate Syk-mediated signaling in mouse. Surprisingly, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, Ras, and mitogen-activated protein kinases were activated upon BCR cross-linking in these Syk-deficient mouse B cells, whereas, as expected from results obtained in chicken B cells, phospholipase C-gamma2 activation and calcium mobilization were impaired as well as the NF-kappaB pathway. These results indicate that BCR signaling is not strictly dependent on Syk expression in mouse IIA1.6/A20 B cells. Thus, B lymphocyte activation may be initiated by Syk-dependent and Syk-independent signaling cascades.
