B cell activation is regulated by the stimulatory or inhibitory co-receptors of B cell receptors (BCRs). Here, we investigated the signaling mechanism of Fc receptor-like 1 (FcRL1), a newly identified BCR co-receptor. FcRL1 was passively recruited into B cell immunological synapses upon BCR engagement in the absence of FcRL1 cross-linking, suggesting that FcRL1 may intrinsically regulate B cell activation and function. BCR cross-linking alone led to the phosphorylation of the intracellular Y281ENV motif of FcRL1 to provide a docking site for c-Abl, an SH2 domain-containing kinase. The FcRL1 and c-Abl signaling module, in turn, potently augmented B cell activation and proliferation. FcRL1-deficient mice exhibited markedly impaired formation of extrafollicular plasmablasts and germinal centers, along with decreased antibody production upon antigen stimulation. These findings reveal a critical BCR signal-enhancing function of FcRL1 through its intrinsic recruitment to B cell immunological synapses and subsequent recruitment of c-Abl upon BCR cross-linking.

We investigated the mechanism of CD4 T cell accumulation in B cell follicles after immunization. Follicular T cell numbers were correlated with the number of B cells, indicating B cell control of the niche that T cells occupy. Despite this, we found no role for B cells in the follicular migration of T cells. Instead, T cells are induced to migrate into B cell follicles entirely as a result of interaction with dendritic cells (DCs). Migration relies on CD40-dependent maturation of DCs, as it did not occur in CD40-deficient mice but was reconstituted with CD40+ DCs. Restoration was not achieved by the activation of DCs with bacterial activators (e.g., lipopolysaccharide, CpG), but was by the injection of OX40L–huIgG1 fusion protein. Crucially, the up-regulation of OX40L (on antigen-presenting cells) and CXCR-5 (on T cells) are CD40-dependent events and we show that T cells do not migrate to follicles in immunized OX40-deficient mice.

Abstract CD81 is a component of the CD19/CD21 signaling complex in B cells. CD81 was originally discovered as target of an anti-proliferative antibody in a human B cell lymphoma. However, the exact role of CD81 in B cell function is not known. Here we studied B cells from CD81 knockout mice. We demonstrate that upon BCR induction these B cells flux higher intracellular free calcium ion; increase the phosphorylation of BCR-related proximal and distal substrates and increase their proliferation. Similarly, polyclonal activation of CD81-deficient B cells with LPS induced increased proliferation and antibody secretion. Consistent with these intrinsic B cell capabilities, CD81-deficient mice mounted significantly higher immune response upon antigenic stimulation. In addition, bone marrow perisinusoidal B cells (IgM+IgD+) capable of mounting T-independent immune responses against blood-borne pathogens were over represented in CD81-deficient mice. These cells also displayed increased calcium influx kinetics as splenic B cells and produced higher amounts of antibody after polyclonal stimulation. Taken together, these results suggest that CD81 is involved in suppressing B cell activation.

The termination of activation signals is a critical step in the control of the immune response; perturbation of inhibitory feedback pathways results in profound immune defects culminating in autoimmunity and overwhelming inflammation. FcγRIIB receptor is a well described inhibitory receptor. The ligation of B-cell receptor (BCR) and FcγRIIB leads to the inhibition of B-cell activation. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the SH2-domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase SHIP (referred hereto as SHIP-1) is essential in this process. The cDNA encoding a second SH2-domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase, SHIP-2, has been cloned [Pesesse, Deleu, De Smedt, Drayer and Erneux (1997) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 239, 697-700]. Here we report the distribution of SHIP-2 in mouse tissues: a Western blot analysis of mouse tissues reveals that SHIP-2 is expressed in both haemopoietic and non-haemopoietic cells. In addition to T-cell and B-cell lines, spleen, thymus and lung are shown to coexpress SHIP-1 and SHIP-2. Moreover, SHIP-2 is detected in fibroblasts, heart and different brain areas. SHIP-2 shows a maximal tyrosine phosphorylation and association to Shc after ligation of BCR to FcγRIIB but not after stimulation of BCR alone. Our results therefore suggest a possible role for SHIP-2 in the negative regulation of immunocompetent cells.
