Effective humoral immunity requires class switch recombination (CSR) catalyzed by activation-induced deaminase (AID). In response to T cell-dependent (TD) antigens, CSR can be induced by CD40 signaling in B cells. Tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factors 2 and 3 (TRAF2/TRAF3) function as adaptors of the CD40 signaling pathway. B cell-intrinsic TRAF2 or TRAF3 knockout mice (B-TRAF2 or B-TRAF3 KO) were previously reported to have indistinguishable phenotypes in gene expression, B cell survival and development as well as enlarged peripheral lymphoid organs. However, it remains unknown whether deficiency of B-TRAF2 or B-TRAF3 differentially affects TD humoral immune responses and CD40-induced CSR. Here, we show that B-TRAF2 is essential for optimal isotype-switching induced by in vivo TD antigen immunization or by engaging CD40 in vitro. Our data clarify the controversial role of B-TRAF3 and confirm its dispensability in CD40-induced CSR. Mechanistically, CD40-induced AID expression was markedly impaired by B-TRAF2 but not B-TRAF3 deficiency. Moreover, B-TRAF2 deficiency causes defective activation of the NF-κB1 complex in a CD40-autonomous manner, and restoring CD40-induced NF-κB1 activation in TRAF2-deficient B cells rescues AID expression and CSR. We conclude that TRAF2 is essential but TRAF3 is dispensable for TD humoral immunity and CD40-induced CSR. Our studies provide significant biological bases for optimizing treatment of B cell-associated immune disorders by targeting CD40 signaling.
