The study demonstrates the highly selective impact of the PGE(2)-EP4 signal on humoral immunity, and provides a link between ER stress response and the life span of SLPCs.
The mechanism regulating the life span of short-lived plasma cells (SLPCs) remains poorly understood. Here we demonstrated that the EP4-mediated activation of AKT by PGE(2) was required for the proper control of inositol-requiring transmembrane kinase endoribonuclease-1 alpha (IRE1 alpha) hyperactivation and hence the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis in IgM-producing SLPCs. Disruption of the PGE(2)-EP4-AKT signaling pathway resulted in IRE1 alpha-induced activation of JNK, leading to accelerated death of SLPCs. Consequently, Ptger4-deficient mice (C57BL/6) exhibited a markedly impaired IgM response to T-independent Ags and increased susceptibility to Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. This study reveals a highly selective impact of the PGE(2)-EP4 signal on the humoral immunity and provides a link between ER stress response and the life span of SLPCs.
