B lymphocytes lacking the adaptor protein B cell linker (BLNK) do not proliferate in response to B cell antigen receptor (BCR) engagement. We demonstrate here that BCR-activated BLNK(-)/- B cells fail to enter the cell cycle, and this is due to their inability to induce the expression of the cell cycle regulatory proteins such as cyclin D2 and cyclin-dependent kinase 4. BCR-stimulated BLNK(-)/- B cells also do not up-regulate the cell survival protein Bcl-x(L), which may be necessary for the cells to complete the cell cycle. In addition, BLNK(-)/- B cells exhibit a high rate of spontaneous apoptosis in culture. Examination of the various BCR-activated signaling pathways in mouse BLNK(-)/- B cells reveals the intact activation of Akt and mitogen-activated protein kinases but the impaired activation of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB that is known to regulate genes involved in cell proliferation and survival. The inability to activate NF-kappaB in BCR-stimulated BLNK(-)/- B cells is due to a failure to induce the degradation of the inhibitory kappaB protein. In all these aspects, BLNK(-)/- B cells resemble xid B cells that have a mutation in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk). Recently, phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma2 has also been demonstrated to be essential for NF-kappaB activation. Since BLNK has been shown separately to interact with both Btk and PLC-gamma2, our finding of normal Btk but impaired PLC-gamma2 activation in BCR-stimulated BLNK(-)/- B cells strongly suggests that BLNK orchestrates the formation of a Btk-PLC-gamma2 signaling axis that regulates NF-kappaB activation. Taken together, the NF-kappaB activation defect may be sufficient to explain the similar defects in BCR-induced B cell proliferation and T cell-independent immune responses in BLNK(-)/-, Btk(-)/-, and PLC-gamma2(-)/- mice. 相似文献

B cells signal through both the B cell receptor (BCR) which binds antigens and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) including TLR9 which recognises CpG DNA. Activation of TLR9 synergises with BCR signalling when the BCR and TLR9 co-localise within an auto-phagosome-like compartment. Here we report that Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) is required for synergistic IL6 production and up-regulation of surface expression of MHC-class-II, CD69 and CD86 in primary murine and human B cells. We show that BTK is essential for co-localisation of the BCR and TLR9 within a potential auto-phagosome-like compartment in the Namalwa human B cell line. Downstream of BTK we find that calcium acting via calmodulin is required for this process. These data provide new insights into the role of BTK, an important target for autoimmune diseases, in B cell activation. 相似文献

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is essential for B cell development and B cell antigen receptor (BCR) function. Recent studies have shown that Btk plays an important role in BCR-mediated c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) 1 activation; however, the mechanism by which Btk participates in the JNK1 response remains elusive. Here we show that the BCR-mediated Rac1 activation is significantly inhibited by loss of Btk, while this Rac1 activation is not affected by loss of phospholipase C-gamma2 (PLC-gamma2). Since PLC-gamma2 is also required for BCR-mediated JNK1 response, our results suggest that Btk regulates Rac1 pathway as well as PLC-gamma2 pathway, both of which contribute to the BCR-mediated JNK1 response. 相似文献

Loss of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) function results in mouse Xid disease characterized by a reduction in mature B cells and impaired humoral immune responses. These defects have been mainly attributed to impaired BCR signaling including reduced activation of the classical NF-kappaB pathway. In this study we show that Btk also couples the receptor for B cell-activating factor (BAFF) of the TNF family (BAFF-R) to the NF-kappaB pathway. Loss of Btk results in defective BAFF-mediated activation of both classical and alternative NF-kappaB pathways. Btk appears to regulate directly the classical pathway in response to BAFF such that Btk-deficient B cells exhibit reduced kinase activity of IkappaB kinase gamma-containing complexes and defective IkappaBalpha degradation. In addition, Btk-deficient B cells produce reduced levels of NF-kappaB2 (p100) basally and in response to stimulation via the BCR or BAFF-R, resulting in impaired activation of the alternative NF-kappaB pathway by BAFF. These results suggest that Btk regulates B cell survival by directly regulating the classical NF-kappaB pathway under both BCR and BAFF-R, as well as by inducing the expression of the components of alternative pathway for sustained NF-kappaB activation in response BAFF. Thus, impaired BCR- and BAFF-induced signaling to NF-kappaB may contribute to the observed defects in B cell survival and humoral immune responses in Btk-deficient mice. 相似文献

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K) has been linked to promitogenic responses in splenic B cells following B cell Ag receptor (BCR) cross-linking; however identification of the signaling intermediates that link PI-3K activity to the cell cycle remains incomplete. We show that cyclin D2 induction is blocked by the PI-3K inhibitors wortmannin and LY294002, which coincides with impaired BCR-mediated mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-related kinase kinase (MEK)1/2 and p42/44ERK phosphorylation on activation residues. Cyclin D2 induction is virtually absent in B lymphocytes from mice deficient in the class I(A) PI-3K p85alpha regulatory subunit. In contrast to studies with PI-3K inhibitors, which inhibit all classes of PI-3Ks, the p85alpha regulatory subunit is not required for BCR-induced MEK1/2 and p42/44ERK phosphorylation, suggesting the contribution of another PI-3K family members in MEK1/2 and p42/44ERK activation. However, p85alpha(-/-) splenic B cells are defective in BCR-induced IkappaB kinase beta and IkappaBalpha phosphorylation. We demonstrate that NF-kappaB signaling is required for cyclin D2 induction via the BCR in normal B cells, implicating a possible link with the defective IkappaB kinase beta and IkappaBalpha phosphorylation in p85alpha(-/-) splenic B cells and their ability to induce cyclin D2. These results indicate that MEK1/2-p42/44ERK and NF-kappaB pathways link PI-3K activity to Ag receptor-mediated cyclin D2 induction in splenic B cells. 相似文献

CD72 is a 45-kDa B cell transmembrane glycoprotein that has been shown to be important for B cell activation. However, whether CD72 ligation induces B cell activation by delivering positive signals or sequestering negative signals away from B cell receptor (BCR) signals remains unclear. Here, by comparing the late signaling events associated with the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, we identified many similarities and some differences between CD72 and BCR signaling. Thus, CD72 and BCR activated the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) but not p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. Both CD72- and BCR-mediated ERK and JNK activation required protein kinase C activity, which was equally important for CD72- and BCR-induced B cell proliferation. However, CD72 induced stronger JNK activation compared with BCR. Surprisingly, the JNK activation induced by both BCR and CD72 is Btk independent. Although both CD72 and BCR induced Btk-dependent ERK activation, CD72-mediated proliferation is more resistant to blocking of ERK activity than that of BCR, as shown by the proliferation response of B cells treated with PD98059 and dibutyryl cAMP, agents that inhibit ERK activity. Most importantly, CD72 signaling compensated for defective BCR signaling in X-linked immunodeficiency B cells and partially restored the proliferation response of X-linked immunodeficiency B cells to anti-IgM ligation. These results suggest that CD72 signals B cells by inducing BCR-independent positive signaling pathways. 相似文献

CD19 and Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) may function along common signaling pathways in regulating intrinsic and B cell Ag receptor (BCR)-induced signals. To identify physical and functional interactions between CD19 and Btk, a CD19-negative variant of the A20 B cell line was isolated, and CD19-deficient (CD19(-/-)) and CD19-overexpressing mice with the X-linked immunodeficient (Xid; Btk) mutation were generated. In A20 cells, Btk physically associated with CD19 following BCR engagement. CD19 and Btk interactions were not required for initial Btk phosphorylation, but CD19 expression maintained Btk in an activated state following BCR engagement. In primary B cells, CD19 signaling also required downstream Btk function since CD19-induced intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) responses were modest in Xid B cells. In addition, CD19 overexpression did not normalize the Xid phenotype and most phenotypic and functional hallmarks of CD19 overexpression were not evident in these mice. However, CD19 and Btk also regulate independent signaling pathways since their combined loss had additive inhibitory effects on BCR-induced [Ca(2+)](i) responses and CD19 deficiency induced a severe immunodeficiency in Xid mice. Thus, CD19 expression amplifies or prolongs Btk-mediated signaling, rather than serving as a required agent for Btk activation. Consistent with this, phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate kinase and Akt activation were normal in CD19(-/-) B cells following IgM engagement, although their kinetics of activation was altered. Thus, these biochemical and compound gene dosage studies indicate that Btk activation and [Ca(2+)](i) responses following BCR engagement are regulated through multiple pathways, including a CD19/Src family kinase-dependent pathway that promotes the longevity of Btk signaling. 相似文献

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) development and progression are thought to be driven by unknown antigens/autoantigens through the B cell receptor (BCR) and environmental signals for survival and expansion including toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands. CD180/RP105, a membrane-associated orphan receptor of the TLR family, induces normal B cell activation and proliferation and is expressed by approximately 60% of CLL samples. Half of these respond to ligation with anti-CD180 antibody by increased activation/phosphorylation of protein kinases associated with BCR signaling. Hence CLL cells expressing both CD180 and the BCR could receive signals via both receptors. Here we investigated cross-talk between BCR and CD180-mediated signaling on CLL cell survival and apoptosis. Our data indicate that ligation of CD180 on responsive CLL cells leads to activation of either prosurvival Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK)/phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT-mediated, or proapoptotic p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK)-mediated signaling pathways, while selective immunoglobulin M (sIgM) ligation predominantly engages the BTK/PI3K/AKT pathway. Furthermore, pretreatment of CLL cells with anti-CD180 redirects IgM-mediated signaling from the prosurvival BTK/PI3K/AKT toward the proapoptotic p38MAPK pathway. Thus preengaging CD180 could prevent further prosurvival signaling mediated via the BCR and, instead, induce CLL cell apoptosis, opening the door to therapeutic profiling and new strategies for the treatment of a substantial cohort of CLL patients. 相似文献

Cutting edge: CD40 engagement eliminates the need for Bruton's tyrosine kinase in B cell receptor signaling for NF-kappa B 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The Tec kinase Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) represents a key intermediary for B cell receptor (BCR) signaling. Btk mutation produces B cell deficiency in mice with X-linked immunodeficiency (xid), and surface Ig-mediated responses of mature B cells are seriously deranged. The central role that Btk plays in directing downstream events produced by BCR engagement is demonstrated by the complete failure of NF-kappa B induction and cellular proliferation following anti-Ig treatment of B cells obtained from xid mice. In this study, we report that the block in BCR signaling produced by Btk mutation is reversed by CD40 engagement. Prior treatment with CD40 ligand normalized subsequent responses of xid B cells to BCR cross-linking, so that typical outcomes of BCR signaling such as NF-kappa B activation and cell cycle progression occurred in a Btk-independent fashion. These results demonstrate that a specific genetic lesion interrupting BCR-mediated intracellular signaling is circumvented through stimulation of CD40. 相似文献

The CD38 cell surface receptor is a potent activator for splenic, B lymphocytes. The molecular mechanisms regulating this response, however, remain incompletely characterized. Activation of the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, Btk, is essential for CD38 downstream signaling function. The major Btk-dependent substrate in B cells, phospholipase C-gamma2 (PLC-gamma2), functions to generate the key secondary messengers, inositol-1,4,5 trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. Surprisingly, CD38 ligation results in no detectable increase in phosphoinositide metabolism and only a minimal increase in cytosolic calcium. We hypothesized that Btk functioned independently of PLC-gamma2 in the CD38 signaling pathway. Accordingly, we demonstrate that CD38 cross-linking does not result in the functional phosphorylation of PLC-gamma2 nor an increase in inositol-1,4,5 trisphosphate production. Furthermore, splenic B cells exhibit a normal CD38-mediated, proliferative response in the presence of the phosphoinositide-PLC inhibitor, U73122. Conversely, protein kinase C (PKC) beta-deficient mice, or PKC inhibitors, indicated the requirement for diacylglycerol-dependent PKC isoforms in this pathway. Loss of PKC activity blocked CD38-dependent, B cell proliferation, NF-kappaB activation, and subsequent expression of cyclin-D2. These results suggested that an alternate diacylglycerol-producing phospholipase must participate in CD38 signaling. Consistent with this idea, CD38 increased the enzymatic activity of the phosphatidylcholine (PC)-metabolizing enzymes, PC-PLC and phospholipase D. The PC-PLC inhibitor, D609, completely blocked CD38-dependent B cell proliferation, IkappaB-alpha degradation, and cyclin-D2 expression. Analysis of Btk mutant B cells demonstrated a partial requirement for Btk in the activation of both enzymes. Taken together, these data demonstrate that CD38 initiates a novel signaling cascade leading to Btk-, PC-PLC-, and phospholipase D-dependent, PLC-gamma2-independent, B lymphocyte activation. 相似文献

Mutations in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) result in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) in humans and X-linked immunodeficiency (xid) in mice. While targeted disruption of the protein kinase C-beta (PKCbeta) gene in mice results in an immunodeficiency similar to xid, the overall tyrosine phosphorylation of Btk is significantly enhanced in PKCbeta-deficient B cells. We provide direct evidence that PKCbeta acts as a feedback loop inhibitor of Btk activation. Inhibition of PKCbeta results in a dramatic increase in B-cell receptor (BCR)-mediated Ca2+ signaling. We identified a highly conserved PKCbeta serine phosphorylation site in a short linker within the Tec homology domain of Btk. Mutation of this phosphorylation site led to enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation and membrane association of Btk, and augmented BCR and FcepsilonRI-mediated signaling in B and mast cells, respectively. These findings provide a novel mechanism whereby reversible translocation of Btk/Tec kinases regulates the threshold for immunoreceptor signaling and thereby modulates lymphocyte activation. 相似文献

Cutting edge: essential role of phospholipase C-gamma 2 in B cell development and function 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Cross-linking of the B cell Ag receptor (BCR) induces the tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple cellular substrates, including phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 2, which is involved in the activation of the phosphatidylinositol pathway. To assess the importance of PLC-gamma 2 in murine lymphopoiesis, the PLC-gamma 2 gene was inducibly ablated by using IFN-regulated Cre recombinase. Mice with a neonatally induced loss of PLC-gamma 2 function displayed reduced numbers of mature conventional B cells and peritoneal B1 cells and defective responses in vitro to BCR stimulation and in vivo to immunization with thymus-independent type II Ags. In contrast, T cell development and TCR-mediated proliferation were normal. Taken together, PLC-gamma 2 is a critical component of BCR signaling pathways and is required to promote B cell development. 相似文献

Bruton agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a key protein in the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and plays an essential role in the differentiation of B lymphocytes. X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a primary humoral immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the gene encoding BTK. Previously, we identified two novel variations, L111P and E605G, in BTK; these are localized within the pleckstrin homology and Src homology 1 domains, respectively. In the present study, we evaluated the potential effects of these variations on the structural conformation and the function of BTK. Using in silico methods, we found that the L111P and E650G variations are not located directly in protein-protein interfaces but close to them. They distorted the native structural conformation of the BTK protein, affecting not only its geometry and stability but also its ability for protein recognition and in consequence its functionality. To confirm the results of the in silico assays, WT BTK, L111P, and E650G variants were expressed in the BTK-deficient DT40 cell line. The mutant proteins exhibited an absence of catalytic activity, aberrant redistribution after BCR-crosslinking, and deficient intracellular calcium mobilization. This work demonstrates that L111 and E605 residues are fundamental for the activation and function of BTK. 相似文献

Antigen receptor signaling is known to activate NF-kappaB in lymphocytes. While T-cell-receptor-induced NF-kappaB activation critically depends on novel protein kinase C theta (PKCtheta), the role of novel PKCs in B-cell stimulation has not been elucidated. In primary murine splenic B cells, we found high expression of the novel PKCs delta and epsilon but only weak expression of the theta isoform. Rottlerin blocks phorbol ester (phorbol myristate acetate [PMA])- or B-cell receptor (BCR)-mediated NF-kappaB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation in primary B and T cells to a similar extent, suggesting that novel PKCs are positive regulators of signaling in hematopoietic cells. Mouse 70Z/3 pre-B cells have been widely used as a model for NF-kappaB activation in B cells. Similar to the situation in splenic B cells, rottlerin inhibits BCR and PMA stimulation of NF-kappaB in 70Z/3 cells. A derivative of 70Z/3 cells, 1.3E2 cells, are defective in NF-kappaB activation due to the lack of the IkappaB kinase (IKKgamma) protein. Ectopic expression of IKKgamma can rescue NF-kappaB activation in response to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), but not to PMA. In addition, PMA-induced activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase JNK is blocked in 1.3E2 cells, suggesting that an upstream component common to both pathways is either missing or mutated. Analysis of various PKC isoforms revealed that exclusively PKCtheta was absent in 1.3E2 cells while it was expressed in 70Z/3 cells. Stable expression of either novel PKCtheta or -delta but not classical PKCbetaII in 1.3E2 IKKgamma-expressing cells rescues PMA activation of NF-kappaB and JNK signaling, demonstrating a critical role of novel PKCs for B-cell activation. 相似文献

Reduced dosage of Bruton's tyrosine kinase uncouples B cell hyperresponsiveness from autoimmunity in lyn-/- mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The development of autoimmunity is correlated with heightened sensitivity of B cells to B cell Ag receptor (BCR) cross-linking. BCR signals are down-regulated by Lyn, which phosphorylates inhibitory receptors. lyn(-/-) mice have reduced BCR signaling thresholds and develop autoantibodies, glomerulonephritis, splenomegaly due to myeloid hyperplasia, and increased B-1 cell numbers. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), a critical component of BCR signaling pathways, is required for autoantibody production in lyn(-/-) mice. It is unclear whether Btk mediates autoimmunity at the level of BCR signal transduction or B cell development, given that lyn(-/-)Btk(-/-) mice have a severe reduction in conventional B and B-1 cell numbers. To address this issue, we crossed a transgene expressing a low dosage of Btk (Btk(low)) in B cells to lyn(-/-)Btk(-/-) mice. Conventional B cell populations were restored to levels similar to those in lyn(-/-) mice. These cells were as hypersensitive to BCR cross-linking as lyn(-/-) B cells as measured by proliferation, Ca(2+) flux, and activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and Akt. However, lyn(-/-)Btk(low) mice did not produce anti-ssDNA, anti-dsDNA, anti-histone, or anti-histone/DNA IgM or IgG. They also lacked B-1 cells and did not exhibit splenomegaly. Thus, B cell hyperresponsiveness is insufficient for autoimmunity in lyn(-/-) mice. These studies implicate B-1 and/or myeloid cells as key contributors to the lyn(-/-) autoimmune phenotype. 相似文献

Cutting edge: association of phospholipase C-gamma 2 Src homology 2 domains with BLNK is critical for B cell antigen receptor signaling. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

To explore the mechanism(s) by which phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 2 participates in B cell Ag receptor (BCR) signaling, we have studied the function of PLC-gamma 2 mutants in B cells deficient in PLC-gamma 2. Mutation of the N-terminal Src homology 2 domain [SH2(N)] resulted in the complete loss of inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate generation upon BCR engagement. A possible explanation for the SH2(N) requirement was provided by findings that this mutation abrogates the association of PLC-gamma 2 with an adaptor protein BLNK. Moreover, expression of a membrane-associated form (CD16/PLC-gamma 2) with SH2(N) mutation required coligation of BCR and CD16 for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate generation. Together, our results suggest a central role for the SH2(N) domain in directing PLC-gamma 2 into the close proximity of BCR signaling complex by its association with BLNK, whereby PLC-gamma 2 becomes tyrosine phosphorylated and thereby activated. 相似文献
