The kinase TBK1 controls IgA class switching by negatively regulating noncanonical NF-?B signaling.

ABSTRACT: Immunoglobulin class switching is crucial for the generation of antibody diversity in humoral immunity and, when deregulated, also has severe pathological consequences. How the magnitude of immunoglobulin isotype switching is controlled is still poorly understood. Here we identify the kinase TBK1 as a pivotal negative regulator of class switching to the immunoglobulin A (IgA) isotype. B cell-specific ablation of TBK1 in mice resulted in uncontrolled production of IgA and the development of nephropathy-like disease signs. TBK1 negatively regulated IgA class switching by attenuating noncanonical signaling via the transcription factor NF-?B, an action that involved TBK1-mediated phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of the NF-?B-inducing kinase NIK. Our findings establish TBK1 as a pivotal negative regulator of the noncanonical NF-?B pathway and identify a unique mechanism that controls IgA production.

Project description:NF?B signaling is of paramount importance in the regulation of apoptosis, proliferation, and inflammatory responses during human development and homeostasis, as well as in many human cancers. Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs), including the Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs) are also important in development and disease. However, a direct relationship between growth factor signaling pathways and NF?B activation has not been previously described, although FGFs have been known to antagonize TNF?-induced apoptosis.Here, we demonstrate an interaction between FGFR4 and IKK? (Inhibitor of NF?B Kinase ? subunit), an essential component in the NF?B pathway. This novel interaction was identified utilizing a yeast two-hybrid screen [1] and confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis. We demonstrate tyrosine phosphorylation of IKK? in the presence of activated FGFR4, but not kinase-dead FGFR4. Following stimulation by TNF? (Tumor Necrosis Factor ?) to activate NF?B pathways, FGFR4 activation results in significant inhibition of NF?B signaling as measured by decreased nuclear NF?B localization, by reduced NF?B transcriptional activation in electophoretic mobility shift assays, and by inhibition of IKK? kinase activity towards the substrate GST-I?B? in in vitro assays. FGF19 stimulation of endogenous FGFR4 in TNF?-treated DU145 prostate cancer cells also leads to a decrease in IKK? activity, concomitant reduction in NF?B nuclear localization, and reduced apoptosis. Microarray analysis demonstrates that FGF19 + TNF? treatment of DU145 cells, in comparison with TNF? alone, favors proliferative genes while downregulating genes involved in apoptotic responses and NF?B signaling.These results identify a compelling link between FGFR4 signaling and the NF?B pathway, and reveal that FGFR4 activation leads to a negative effect on NF?B signaling including an inhibitory effect on proapoptotic signaling. We anticipate that this interaction between an RTK and a component of NF?B signaling will not be limited to FGFR4 alone.
