We have previously shown that transgenic mice expressing in B lymphocytes both BCL-2 and a TRAF2 mutant lacking the RING and zinc finger domains (TRAF2DN) develop small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with high incidence. Further analysis of the expression of TRAF2 and TRAF2DN in purified B cells demonstrated that expression of both endogenous TRAF2 and transgenic TRAF2DN was negligible in Traf2DN-tg B cells compared to wild-type mice. This was the result of proteasome-dependent degradation, and rendered TRAF2DN B cells as bona fide TRAF2 deficient B cells. Similar to B cells with targeted Traf2 deletion, Traf2DN-tg mice show expanded marginal zone (MZ) B cell population and have constitutive p100 NF- κ B2 processing. Also, TRAF3, XIAP and Bcl-XL expression levels were increased, while cIAP1/2 levels were drastically reduced compared to those found in wild-type B cells. Moreover, consistent with previous results, we also show that TRAF2 was required for efficient JNK and ERK activation in response to CD40 engagement. However, TRAF2 was deleterious for BCR-mediated activation of these kinases. In contrast, TRAF2 deficiency had no effect on CD40-mediated p38 MAPK activation but significantly reduced BCR-mediated p38 activation. Finally, we further confirm that TRAF2 was required for CD40-mediated proliferation, but its absence relieved B cells of the need for BAFF for survival. Altogether, our results suggest that TRAF2 deficiency cooperates with BCL-2 in promoting CLL/SLL in mice, possibly by specifically enforcing MZ B cell accumulation, increasing XIAP expression, and rendering B cells independent of BAFF for survival.
