It has been shown that CD40 is required for optimal B cell activation. Casitas-B-lineage lymphoma-b (Cbl-b), a RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligase, inhibits B cell activation. In this report, we demonstrate that CD40 stimulation markedly enhances IgM-induced B cell proliferation in wild-type (WT) mice, whereas this cell proliferation was reduced in CD40-deficient (Cd40(-/-)) mice. Interestingly, CD40 ligation strongly augments IgM-induced Cbl-b ubiquitination and degradation in primary mouse B cells, which closely correlates with their proliferation capacity. Cbl-b deficiency uncouples BCR-induced B cell proliferation from CD40 costimulation. Our results indicate that Cbl-b negatively regulates costimulation of BCR and CD40, possibly by setting the threshold for B cell activation via controlling Cbl-b expression.
