Latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A) is one of only two viral proteins expressed during latent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections in human peripheral B cells. LMP2A blocks B-cell receptor (BCR) signal transduction in vitro by modulation of the Syk and Lyn protein tyrosine kinases. Five genetically unique LMP2A transgenic mouse lines (EmuLMP2A) with B-cell lineage expression of LMP2A were generated in this study to analyze the importance of LMP2A expression in vivo. These animals can be grouped into EmuLMP2A(BCR+) (TgB, Tg6, and TgC) and EmuLMP2A(BCR-) (Tg7 and TgE) lines based on B-cell phenotype. LMP2A expression in bone marrow cells of EmuLMP2A(BCR-) lines was associated with a bypass of normal B-lymphocyte developmental checkpoints inasmuch as immunoglobulin light-chain gene rearrangement occurred in the absence of complete immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene rearrangement. The resulting BCR-negative B cells were able to exit the bone marrow and colonize peripheral lymphoid organs. LMP2A expression in EmuLMP2A(BCR+) lines was not associated with altered B-cell development in a genetically wild-type background. When crossed into a recombinase activating null (RAG(-/-)) genetic background, LMP2A expression in either RAG(-/-) EmuLMP2A(BCR+) or RAG(-/-) EmuLMP2A(BCR-) animals was able to provide a survival signal to BCR-negative splenic B cells. Additionally, bone marrow cells from all EmuLMP2A animals were able to proliferate in response to interleukin-7-dependent developmental signals in vitro. These studies illustrate that LMP2A can provide a survival signal to BCR-negative B cells in two different groups of EmuLMP2A transgenic mice.
