摘要

Zinc deficiency impairs the immune system leading to frequent infections. Although zinc is known to play critical roles in maintaining healthy immune function, the underlying molecular targets are largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that zinc is important for the CD154–CD40‐mediated activation of downstream signaling pathways in human B lymphocytes. CD40 is a receptor localized on the cell surface of many immune cells, including B lymphocytes. It binds to CD154, a membrane protein expressed on antigen‐activated T helper (Th) lymphocytes. This CD154‐CD40 interaction leads to B‐cell activation. We showed that cellular zinc deficiency impaired the CD154‐CD40‐mediated p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) phosphorylation. We also showed that zinc supplemental treatment of B lymphocytes had limited effect on this CD40‐mediated p38 MAPK signaling. Most importantly, we demonstrated that the zinc transporter protein zinc transporter 7 (ZNT7) interacted with CD40 using immunoprecipitation analyses. ZNT7 knockdown in B lymphocytes had a negative effect on the cell surface expression of CD40. Consequently, the CD40‐mediated p38 MAPK signaling transduction was down‐regulated in ZNT7KD B lymphocytes. Conversely, this p38 MAPK signaling activity was up‐regulated by overexpression (OE) of ZNT7 in B lymphocytes. Moreover, we found that ZNT7 knockdown in B lymphocytes constitutively up‐ and down‐regulated the inhibitor of i kappa B kinase and AKT serine/threonine kinase phosphorylation, respectively, which implies the activation of survival signaling in ZNT7KD B cells. We conclude that CD40 is the target molecule for ZNT7 in regulation of immune function of B lymphocytes.
