Abstract：
:Accumulating evidence indicates that B cells may undergo sequential rearrangements at the light chain loci, despite already expressing light chain receptors. This phenomenon may occur in the bone marrow and, perhaps, in germinal centers. As immunoglobulin (Ig)kappa light chains usually rearrange before Iglambda light chains, we analysed, by polymerase chain reaction, the Igkappa locus of bone marrow mononuclear cells from 29 patients with Iglambda myeloma to identify earlier recombinations in marrow plasma cells. The results demonstrated that Igkappa alleles were inactivated via the kappa-deleting element, presumably prior to V(kappa)-J(kappa) rearrangement, in many cases. Eighteen alleles (16 myeloma clones, 55%) showed V(kappa)-J(kappa) rearrangements, with increased utilization of 5' distant V(kappa) and 3' distant Jkappa gene segments (Jkappa4, 56%), an indication of multiple sequential rearrangements. In-frame, potentially functional V(kappa)-J(kappa) rearrangements were found in approximately one-third of available rearrangements (as expected by chance), each one in different myeloma clones: three were germline encoded, while one had several nucleotide substitutions, suggesting inactivation after the onset of somatic hypermutation. Three of four potentially functional V(kappa)-J(kappa)rearrangements involved V(kappa)4-1, a segment considered to be associated with autoimmunity. These findings provide insights into the regulation of light chain rearrangements and support the view that B cells may occasionally undergo sequential light chain rearrangements after the onset of somatic hypermutation.
