Unraveling the molecular mechanisms by which filarial nematodes, major human pathogens in the tropics, evade the host immune system remains an elusive goal. We have previously shown that excretory-secretory product-62 (ES-62), a homologue of phosphorylcholine-containing molecules that are secreted by human parasites and which is active in rodent models of filarial infection, is able to polyclonally activate certain protein tyrosine kinase and mitogen-activating protein kinase signal transduction elements in B lymphocytes. Such activation mediates desensitization of subsequent B cell Ag receptor (BCR) ligation-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase-mitogen-activated protein (ErkMAP) kinase and ultimately B cell proliferation. We now show that the desensitization is due to ES-62 targeting two major regulatory sites of B cell activation. Firstly, pre-exposure to ES-62 primes subsequent BCR-mediated recruitment of SHP-1 tyrosine phosphatase to abolish recruitment of the RasErkMAP kinase cascade via the Ig alpha beta -ShcGrb2Sos adaptor complex interactions. Secondly, any ongoing ErkMAP kinase signaling in ES-62-primed BCR.
