Abstract:
:CH31 B lymphomas represent a model for antigen-induced deletional tolerance of immature B lymphocytes, because cross-linking the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) induces G(1) phase arrest and apoptosis. We have recently demonstrated that BCR cross-linking leads to a transient activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in CH31 B cells. In this paper, we functionally characterize the role of p38 MAPK in BCR-induced apoptosis as well as evaluate the regulation of additional MAPKs by the BCR. We demonstrate that JNK and ERK activities are not affected by BCR cross-linking, suggesting that these MAPKs are not directly involved in initiating the apoptotic cascade. By contrast, we show that pretreatment of CH31 B cells with the highly specific p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 ablated both BCR-induced p38 MAPK activity and apoptosis. Pretreatment of CH31 cells with an inactive SB203580 analog, SB202474, did not prevent apoptosis. These findings establish a key role for p38 MAPK in antigen receptor-mediated apoptosis of CH31 B cells.
