Differential Regulation of B Cell Development, Activation, and Death by the Src Homology 2 Domain–Containing 5′ Inositol Phosphatase (Ship)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Although the Src homology 2 domain-containing 5' inositol phosphatase (SHIP) is a well-known mediator of inhibitory signals after B cell antigen receptor (BCR) coaggregation with the low affinity Fc receptor, it is not known whether SHIP functions to inhibit signals after stimulation through the BCR alone. Here, we show using gene-ablated mice that SHIP is a crucial regulator of BCR-mediated signaling, B cell activation, and B cell development. We demonstrate a critical role for SHIP in termination of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate (PI[3,4,5]P(3)) signals that follow BCR aggregation. Consistent with enhanced PI(3,4,5)P(3) signaling, we find that splenic B cells from SHIP-deficient mice display enhanced sensitivity to BCR-mediated induction of the activation markers CD86 and CD69. We further demonstrate that SHIP regulates the rate of B cell development in the bone marrow and spleen, as B cell precursors from SHIP-deficient mice progress more rapidly through the immature and transitional developmental stages. Finally, we observe that SHIP-deficient B cells have increased resistance to BCR-mediated cell death. These results demonstrate a central role for SHIP in regulation of BCR signaling and B cell biology, from signal driven development in the bone marrow and spleen, to activation and death in the periphery.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
