`
`We have introduced a functionally rearranged
`ABSTRACT
`murine c light chain immunoglobulin (Ig) gene into an Abelson
`murine leukemia virus-transformed lymphoid cell line. Plasmid
`pSV2gpt-ic41, containing the c light chain gene from the myeloma
`MOPC41 and the selectable marker gene gpt, was introduced into
`81A-2 cells by the calcium phosphate coprecipitation technique.
`Cells expressing the gpt gene were selected by growth in medium
`containing mycophenolic acid. One transfected cell line, K-2, was
`shown to make K mRNA and polypeptide chains and to assemble
`the K chain product with y2b heavy chains to form an apparently
`complete IgG2b. When bacterial lipopolysaccharide was added to
`the growth medium, levels of K mRNA and polypeptide increased,
`showing regulated expression of the introduced K gene.
`
`B cell differentiation proceeds from the "pre-B" lymphocyte,
`which synthesizes A immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chains but no
`light chains, to the mature B lymphocyte, which synthesizes
`both heavy and light chains and expresses surface Ig, and finally
`to the Ig-secreting plasma cell (1-5). The availability of trans-
`formed cell analogs has allowed biochemical characterization of
`these stages of cellular differentiation (6-11). Recently, such
`studies have contributed greatly to our understanding of the
`structure of Ig gene segments and the joining ofthese segments
`to produce a functionally rearranged Ig gene (12-17).
`Although much is now known about Ig gene structure, rel-
`atively little is known about the molecular mechanisms that
`control Ig gene expression. One approach to study such controls
`is to introduce Ig genes into various cell lines, including both
`lymphoid cells at various stages of differentiation and nonlym-
`phoid cells. One might then be able to identify control mech-
`anisms unique to lymphoid cells that allow the cells to express,
`assemble, and secrete Igs. To begin such studies, we have at-
`tempted to introduce a functionally rearranged murine K light
`chain gene into an Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV)-
`transformed lymphoid cell line.
`Previous studies have shown that A-MuLV infection ofbone
`marrow or fetal liver cells transforms cells of the B-lymphoid
`lineage, usually "pre-B" cells (18, 19). Derivatives of one A-
`MuLV transformant, 18-8, have been shown to switch from a
`to y2b heavy chain synthesis while in culture (20-22). One such
`derivative, 81A-2, synthesizes y2b protein, but has lost its K
`constant region light chain gene segments (unpublished data).
`Here we report that, after the introduction of a functionally
`rearranged K gene into 81A-2 cells, the K gene is expressed in
`a regulated manner.
`MATERIALS AND METHODS
`Cells. The A-MuLV-transformed cell line 81A-2, a derivative
`of the line 18-8, synthesizes y2b heavy chain protein, but no
`
`light chain, and has lost its K constant region genes (refs. 18 and
`22; unpublished data). Cells were grown and analyzed for Ig
`protein synthesis by metabolic labeling and immunoprecipita-
`tion as described (18). Nonreduced samples were prepared for
`electrophoresis as described by Margulies et al. (23).
`DNA Procedures. The phage ACh4A-41KC21, containing
`the rearranged genomic K light chain gene from the myeloma
`MOPC41, was obtained from P. Leder (12). The 7-kilobase-pair
`(kbp) EcoRI/BamHI fragment containing the K gene was in-
`serted into EcoRI- and BamHI-cleaved plasmid pSV2gpt, ob-
`tained from R. Mulligan (24). The resulting plasmid, shown in
`Fig. 1, is called pSV2gpt-K41. Ten micrograms of DNA from
`this plasmid was transfected into 5 x 107 81A-2 cells by a mod-
`ification ofthe calcium phosphate technique ofGraham and Van
`der Eb (25). Cells were washed in phosphate-buffered saline
`(0.14 M NaCl/2.5 mM KCl/16 mM Na2HPO4/1.4 mM
`KH2PO4), resuspended in 1 ml of transfection cocktail [made
`by adding DNA to 1 ml of Hepes-buffered saline, then adding
`62.5 j1. of 2 M CaCl2 (26)] and incubated 15 min at room tem-
`perature. Then 10 ml of medium was added and the cells were
`incubated at 370C for 4 hr. Cells were then washed in phos-
`phate-buffered saline, incubated at 37°C for 2 min in 2 ml of
`Hepes-buffered saline with glycerol (26), and washed again in
`phosphate-buffered saline. Cells were then resuspended in 10
`ml of nonselective medium, grown for 3 days, and then trans-
`ferred to selective medium [RPMI 1640 medium supplemented
`with mycophenolic acid at 2 ug/ml, xanthine at 250 ug/ml,
`hypoxanthine at 15 ,g/ml, and glutamine at 150 ,ug/ml (27)].
`Transfected and mock-transfected 81A-2 cells were passaged in
`selective medium for approximately 3 weeks, until the mock-
`transfected cells had died. The transfected cells were then
`cloned by limiting dilution in nonselective medium.
`RNA. Total cellular poly(A)-containing RNA was isolated by
`the guanidine-HCl procedure (28), fractionated according to
`size by electrophoresis in formaldehyde gels (29), transferred
`to nitrocellulose, and hybridized with 32P-labeled DNA probes
`as described (30).
`
`RESULTS
`To examine expression of a K gene from transfected plasmid
`DNA, the plasmid pSV2gpt-K41 was constructed to contain the
`rearranged chromosomal K light chain gene from the myeloma
`MOPC41 (12) and the selectable marker gene gpt, the gene
`from Escherichia coli that codes for the enzyme xanthine-gua-
`nine phosphoribosyltransferase [GPT; EC 2.4.2.22 (27)] (Fig.
`1). In mammalian cells grown in media containing inhibitors of
`purine synthesis (here, mycophenolic acid), expression of the
`gpt gene allows selective cell growth using xanthine as the pre-

`
`cursor for synthesis ofguanine nucleotides (27). In pSV2gpt, the
`parental plasmid used for this construction, the gpt gene is tran-
`scribed from the SV40 early promoter and is followed by a re-
`gion of SV40 DNA containing the small tumor antigen inter-
`vening sequence and signal sequences for transcript termination
`and polyadenylylation (24). To reduce the possibility of tran-
`scription of the K light chain gene from promoters other than
`its own, plasmid pSV2gpt-K41 was designed so that transcrip-
`tion from the SV40 promoter is in opposite orientation from that
`required for K gene expression.
`The 81A-2 cell line used as recipient ofthe transfected DNA
`is an A-MuLV-transformed murine lymphoid cell that synthe-
`sizes y2b heavy chain but no light chain [no CK alleles can be
`detected by hybridization (ref. 22 and unpublished data)]. Plas-
`mid pSV2gpt-K41 DNA was introduced into 81A-2 cells by the
`calcium phosphate coprecipitation technique (25). Cells ex-
`pressing the gpt gene were selected by growth in medium con-
`taining mycophenolic acid and then cloned by limiting dilution.
`When DNA from three selected cell lines was prepared and
`analyzed by hybridization with a K probe, all three lines were
`found to have acquired one or a small number ofthe introduced
`K genes. From the pattern ofthe hybridizing bands, at least two
`of three lines were judged to be independent transfectants.
`Eight cell lines were assayed for GPT enzyme activity by the
`in situ gel assay ofMulligan and Berg (24); all eight were positive
`(data not shown).
`When the eight gpt+ cell lines were assayed for production
`of K protein by metabolic labeling with [3S]methionine and im-
`munoprecipitation with anti-K antiserum, all eight were found
`to synthesize a polypeptide which (i) was precipitable with anti-
`K antiserum (Fig. 2, lane d for clone K-2 and data not shown for
`the others); (ii) comigrated with the K chain produced by the
`myeloma MPC1l (apparent Mr 23,000) (Fig. 2, lane a); and (iii)
`was not evident in the nontransfected 81A-2 parent cell line
`(Fig. 2, lane b). In the original autoradiogram, the background
`bands in the Mr 23,000 region are much fainter than reproduced
`here. Because the 81A-2 cells lack CK alleles, none of the back-
`ground bands are K light chain. Precipitation of the Mr 23,000

`were prepared from cells labeled with [35S]methionine, immunopre-
`cipitated, and analyzed by NaDodSO4/polyacrylamide gel electropho-
`resis. Lane a, myeloma MPC11 extract immunoprecipitated with anti-

`grown in the absence (lane d) and presence (lane e) of LPS and im-
`munoprecipitated with anti-K antiserum; lanes f and g, extract from
`the transfectant K-2 mixed with unlabeled MPC11 extract (lane f) or
`unlabeled MOPC104E extract (lane g) and immunoprecipitated with
`anti-K antiserum; lane h, extract from the transfectant K-2 immuno-
`precipitated with anti-AT antiserum. Sizes of molecular weight marker
`proteins are indicated.
`
`polypeptide by anti-K serum was blocked by competition with
`an unlabeled MPC11 protein extract (containing authentic K
`light chains) but not by an unlabeled MOPC104E protein ex-
`tract (containing AI light chains) (Fig. 2, lanes fand g). Also, the
`apparent K chain was not precipitable by anti-AI antiserum (Fig.
`2, lane h). Therefore, the Mr 23,000 polypeptide appears to be
`the protein product of the K light chain gene transfected into
`the 81A-2 cells.
`To examine the RNA produced from the transfected K gene,
`poly(A)-containing mRNA was prepared from the parent 81A-
`2 cell line and the transfectant K-2. The RNA was size-fraction-
`ated by agarose gel electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellu-
`lose, and hybridized with a 32P-labeled plasmid DNA probe
`containing the K constant region (CK), the K joining (J,) seg-
`ments, and the sequence that intervenes between them. No
`hybridization was detected to the RNA prepared from the par-

`quence from J. through CK. Lanes a and b, RNA from the transfectant

`ent line 81A-2 (not shown), but RNA from the K-2 line contained
`hybridizing species ofapproximately 1.2, 1.9, and 2.6 kilobases
`(kb) (Fig. 3, lane a). The smaller RNA comigrated with authentic
`K mRNA from the A-MuLV-transformed cell line 18-48 (Fig.
`3, lane c). [The smaller 0.8-kb RNA in 18-48 is an aberrantly
`small K transcript (5).] In other experiments, both the 1.9-kb
`and the 2.6-kb RNAs were found to hybridize strongly to a probe
`specific for the intervening sequence between JK and CK and
`hybridize weakly to a pBR322 DNA probe. Hence, these higher
`molecular weight species are some type of aberrant RNA. The
`1.2-kb species, however, appears to be an authentic K mRNA
`transcript in that it hybridizes only to the probe containing K
`coding sequences and not to the intervening sequence probe
`or pBR322.
`Because many A-MuLV-transformed lymphoid cell lines in-
`crease Ig production when LPS is added to the medium (18, 31),
`we investigated the effects of LPS on K chain synthesis in the
`transfected line. The parent line 81A-2 increases synthesis of
`y2b heavy chain protein and mRNA upon induction by LPS
`(22) (Fig. 2, lane c). When LPS was added to the K-2 cells, K
`light chain synthesis increased approximately 5-fold, to a level
`approximately 1/15th that ofthe myeloma MPC1l (Fig. 2, lane
`e). To determine if the LPS-induced increase in K chain syn-
`thesis was due to an increased content of specific mRNA, the
`mRNA fraction was prepared from LPS-treated 81A-2 parent
`cells and transfected K-2 cells. Again, no K mRNA species was

`detected in the parental cells, but the K-2 cells contained in-
`creased levels of the 1.2- and 1.9-kb species (Fig. 3, lane b).
`Interestingly, the level of the 1.9-kb RNA species increased
`even more than that of the presumably authentic 1.2-kb RNA
`species.
`Because the transfected cells were producing both y2b heavy
`chains and K light chains, it was possible that the cells could
`assemble the heavy and light chains into IgG. To examine this
`question, samples of [35S]methionine-labeled protein extracts
`were immunoprecipitated with anti-K antiserum and the non-
`reduced samples were subjected to NaDodSO4/polyacryl-
`amide gel electrophoresis. The parental 81A-2 cells produced
`a protein of approximately the correct size for y2b heavy chain
`dimers (Fig. 4, lanes a and b; the darker appearance of lane a
`is due to more labeled extract present). The K-2 cells produced
`a protein that migrated slightly faster than the IgG2b produced
`by the myeloma MPC11 (Fig. 4, lanes d and e) but slower than
`the bulk of the rabbit IgG antiserum visualized by staining (not
`shown). In other experiments (not shown) no free K chain was
`found in the K-2 cells, although a significant amount was present
`in MPC1L cells. Essentially all of the K chain produced in the
`K-2 cells appears to be assembled into IgG2b.
`
`DISCUSSION
`The major result of these studies is the demonstration that a
`functional K gene can be introduced into a lymphoid cell line
`in which it will be continuously expressed. This opens the pos-
`sibility of examining control and rearrangement mechanisms in

`lymphoid cells by using inserted genetic elements.
`The K gene introduced into 81A-2 cells apparently functions
`normally in spite of being in a very unusual context. The gene
`was in an SV40/pBR322 vector that then integrated into a pre-
`sumably random site in the cell genome, a site unlikely to be
`related to the normal location of the K gene in chromosome 6.
`In spite of its unusual context, the introduced gene was ex-
`pressed at about the same level as the resident y2b heavy chain
`gene. The K gene was apparently using its own promoter be-
`cause in the construction no promoter was provided that faced
`-in the correct direction. It is possible that the SV40 DNA se-
`quences present might have provided some enhancing function
`for K expression (32).
`The introduced K gene not only was expressed at a basal level
`but also- was inducible by LPS. The mechanism and function
`of this induction system are far from clear, but the ability ofthe
`introduced K gene to respond indicates that sufficient K-related
`DNA sequences to provide for LPS inducibility were included
`in the construct. The construct contained, in addition to the VK,
`JK1 and CK coding segments, the intervening sequence between
`the coding regions and about 1-L5 kb of DNA both 5' of VKJK
`and 3' of CK. Any of this extra DNA could be involved in pro-
`moter and control functions, but the results make it unlikely that
`any sequences important for K expression exist more than 1.5
`kb to either side of the coding region.
`LPS control ofheavy chain expression in 81A-2 cells is allele
`specific and correlates with a deletion in the intervening se-
`quence between VHDJH and CM (22, 33). The productively rear-
`ranged heavy chain allele is inducible by LPS and contains this
`deletion, whereas the other allele, containing a nonproductive
`rearrangement, lacks the deletion and is not inducible by LPS.
`Therefore, LPS inducibility of heavy chain seems to be deter-
`mined at the DNA level. Whether the introduced K gene is
`responding directly to LPS or to the product ofthe heavy chain
`allele is an open question. The possibility that transcription of
`the light chain gene is controlled by a product ofthe heavy chain
`locus is an interesting possibility and needs further investigation.
