Abstract Costimulation is essential for the induction of proliferation in naive T cells and for the inhibition of activation induced cell death (AICD) in activated T lymphocytes. While costimulatory signals mediated through the immunglobulin family member CD28 play a prominent role during primary T cell activation, ligation of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family member CD137/4-1BB is more important during late primary and secondary T cell activation. Signals mediated through either costimulatory protein block AICD. Inhibition of AICD through ligation of CD137/4-1BB or CD28 involves upregulation of Bcl-xL and FLIPshort (Eur J Immunol 2005, 35: 1257–66). We further demonstrated that costimulatory signals mediated through CD137/4-1BB or CD28 depend on the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and AKT/protein kinase B, two kinases that had formerly been implied in CD28-induced signaling, indicating that CD28- and CD137/4-1BB-mediated signals share downstream signaling pathways. Here, we demonstrate that p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) mediates CD137/4-1BB-induced as well as CD28-mediated costimulation of cell proliferation and inhibition of AICD. This coincides with upregulation of Bcl-xL and FLIPshort. Inhibition of p38 MAPK abrogates T cell receptor induced proliferation and antagonizes costimulation mediated survival. Thus, p38 MAPK, which was previously thought to be primarily involved in CD137/4-1BB-mediated signaling, is similarly important for CD28-induced costimulation and survival. This indicates that, while involving different protein families, signal transduction by CD28 and CD137/4-1BB depends on a common upstream and downstream network of survival kinases.

Abstract Activation of the T cell–mediated immune response has been associated with changes in the expression of specific microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the role of miRNAs in the development of an effective immune response is just beginning to be explored. This study focuses on the functional role of miR-146a in T lymphocyte–mediated immune response and provides interesting clues on the transcriptional regulation of miR-146a during T-cell activation. We show that miR-146a is low in human naive T cells and is abundantly expressed in human memory T cells; consistently, miR-146a is induced in human primary T lymphocytes upon T-cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. Moreover, we identified NF-kB and c-ETS binding sites as required for the induction of miR-146a transcription upon TCR engagement. Our results demonstrate that several signaling pathways, other than inflammation, are influenced by miR-146a. In particular, we provide experimental evidence that miR-146a modulates activation-induced cell death (AICD), acting as an antiapoptotic factor, and that Fas-associated death domain (FADD) is a target of miR-146a. Furthermore, miR-146a enforced expression impairs both activator protein 1 (AP-1) activity and interleukin-2 (IL-2) production induced by TCR engagement, thus suggesting a role of this miRNA in the modulation of adaptive immunity.
