A costimulatory signal from the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family molecule OX40 (CD134), which is induced on activated T cells, is important for T‐cell immunity. Aberrant OX40 cosignaling has been implicated in autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. However, the molecular mechanism by which the OX40 cosignaling regulates the T‐cell response remains obscure. We found that OX40 associated with a scaffold protein, IQ motif‐containing GTPase‐activating protein 1 (IQGAP1) after ligation by its ligand OX40L. Naïve CD4+T cells fromIqgap1−/−mice displayed enhanced proliferation and cytokine secretion upon receiving OX40 cosignaling. A C‐terminal IQGAP1 region was responsible for its association with OX40, and TNFR‐associated factor 2 (TRAF2) bridged these two proteins. The enhanced cytokine response inIqgap1−/−T cells was restored by the expression of the C‐terminal IQGAP1. Thus, the IQGAP1 binding limits the OX40 cosignaling. Disease severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was significantly exacerbated inIqgap1−/−mice as compared to wild‐type mice. Additionally, recipient mice withIqgap1−/−donor CD4+T cells exhibited significantly higher EAE scores than those with their wild‐type counterparts, and OX40 blockade led to a significant reduction in the EAE severity. Thus, our study defines an important component of the OX40 cosignaling that restricts inflammation driven by antigen‐activated T cells.
