Survival and death of lymphocytes is regulated by the balance between pro- and anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family, and this is coordinated with the control of cell cycling and differentiation. Bim, a pro-apoptotic BH3-only member of the Bcl-2 family, can be regulated by MEK/ERK-mediated phosphorylation, which affects its binding to pro-survival Bcl-2 family members and its turnover. We investigated Bim modifications in mouse B and T lymphoid cells after exposure to apoptotic stimuli and during mitogenic activation. Treatment with ionomycin or cytokine withdrawal caused an elevation in BimEL, the most abundant Bim isoform. In contrast, in mitogenically stimulated T and B cells, BimEL was rapidly phosphorylated and its levels declined. Pharmacological inhibitors of MEK/ERK-signaling prevented both of these changes in Bim, reduced proliferation and triggered apoptosis of mitogen-stimulated T and B cells. Remarkably, loss of Bim prevented this cell killing but did not restore cell cycling. These results show that during mitogenic stimulation of T and B lymphocytes MEK/ERK signaling is critical for two distinct processes, cell survival, mediated (at least in part) through phosphorylation and consequent inhibition of Bim, and cell cycling, which proceeds independently of Bim inactivation.
