Syk mediates BCR- and CD40-signaling integration during B cell activation
Open accessAbstract
CD40 is essential for optimal B cell activation. It has been shown that CD40 stimulation can augment BCR-induced B cell responses, but the molecular mechanism(s) by which CD40 regulates BCR signaling is poorly understood. In this report, we attempted to characterize the signaling synergy between BCR- and CD40-mediated pathways during B cell activation. We found that spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is involved in CD40 signaling, and is synergistically activated in B cells in response to BCR/CD40 costimulation. CD40 stimulation alone also activates B cell linker (BLNK), Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk), and Vav-2 downstream of Syk, and significantly enhances BCR-induced formation of complex consisting of, Vav-2, Btk, BLNK, and phospholipase C-gamma2 (PLC-γ2) leading to activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, Akt, and NF-κB required for optimal B cell activation. Therefore, our data suggest that CD40 can strengthen BCR-signaling pathway and quantitatively modify BCR signaling during B cell activation.

Alternative signaling pathways through CD38, CD40, IL-4R, LPS/TLR4/MyD88, and CD86 also utilize PLCγ2, while TGF-βR stimulation inhibits PLCγ2 function in B cells.
“Aside from BCR engagement, there are alternative signaling pathways initiated through extracellular immunological receptors that also utilize PLCγ2 to function, which include CD38 (16), CD40 (52), IL-4R (53, 54, 55) and the LPS/TLR4/MyD88 pathway, the latter of which induces ERK and NK-κB phosphorylation in MEKs in a PI3K-independent fashion (56). CD86 engagement was also observed to signal via PL”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
