Slc7a5 is an important amino acid transporter that is highly expressed in metabolically active and rapidly proliferating cells. To explore the effect of Slc7a5 on adult B cell development, we conditionally deleted Slc7a5 in murine B cells and observed a significant reduction of B1a cells. In contrast to PI3K-Akt pathway activation, activity of the mTOR pathway was decreased. This may result from intracellular amino acid starvation in Slc7a5 knockdown (Slc7a5 KD) bone marrow B cells, thereby dampening B1a development. RNA-seq analysis demonstrated increased translation and reduced proliferation in Slc7a5 KD bone marrow B cells. Overall, the results of our study highlight the importance of Slc7a5 in peritoneal B1a cell development.
