Journal Article
The Role of TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 5 in the Formation of Germinal Centers by B Cells During the Primary Phase of the Immune Response in Mice
2024
Overview
TNF receptor-associated factors (TRAFs) function as intracellular adaptor proteins utilized by members of the TNF receptor superfamily, such as CD40. Among the TRAF family proteins, TRAF5 has been identified as a potential regulator of CD40. However, it remains unclear whether TRAF5 regulates the generation of germinal center (GC) B cells and antigen-specific antibody production in the T-dependent (TD) immune response. TRAF5-deficient (Traf5−/−) and TRAF5-sufficient (Traf5+/+) mice were immunized in the footpad with 2,4,6-trinitrophenol-conjugated keyhole limpet hemocyanin (TNP-KLH) and complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA). We found that GC B cell generation and antigen-specific IgM and IgG1 production were significantly impaired in Traf5−/− mice compared to Traf5+/+ mice. The expression levels of CD40-target genes Fas and Lta, which are involved in GC formation, were significantly decreased in B220+ cells isolated from immunized Traf5−/− mice. Traf5−/− B cells showed decreased antibody production, proliferation, and induction of CD40-target genes Tnfaip3, Tnfsf4, and Cd80 in response to agonistic Fc-CD40L protein in vitro. Furthermore, administration of TNP-KLH and Fc-CD40L to Traf5−/− mice resulted in a severe loss of GC B cell development. These results highlight the crucial role of TRAF5 in driving CD40-mediated TD immune response in vivo.
