Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 101: 16600\u201316605). Further analysis of the expression of TRAF2 and TRAF2DN in purified B cells demonstrated that expression of both endogenous TRAF2 and tg TRAF2DN was negligible in Traf2DN-tg B cells compared with 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 B cell population and have constitutive p100 NF-\u03baB2 processing. Also, TRAF3, X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis, and Bcl-XL expression levels were increased, whereas cellular inhibitors of apoptosis 1 and 2 levels were drastically reduced compared with 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 B cell activating factor for survival. Altogether, our results suggest that TRAF2 deficiency cooperates with BCL-2 in promoting chronic lymphocytic leukemia\/small lymphocytic lymphoma in mice, possibly by specifically enforcing marginal zone B cell accumulation, increasing X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis expression, and rendering B cells independent of B cell activating factor for survival.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.1200814","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,19]],"date-time":"2012-06-19T03:47:24Z","timestamp":1340077644000},"page":"1053-1061","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["TNFR-Associated Factor 2 Deficiency in B Lymphocytes Predisposes to Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia\/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma in Mice"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"189","author":[{"given":"Gema","family":"P\u00e9rez-Chac\u00f3n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investigaciones Biom\u00e9dicas \u201cAlberto Sols,\u201d Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas\/Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid , Madrid 28029,","place":["Spain"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Llobet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute , La Jolla, CA 92037"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Constanza","family":"Pardo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investigaciones Biom\u00e9dicas \u201cAlberto Sols,\u201d Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas\/Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid , Madrid 28029,","place":["Spain"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Pindado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute , La Jolla, CA 92037"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongwon","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine , Philadelphia, PA 19104"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John C","family":"Reed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute , La Jolla, CA 92037"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan M","family":"Zapata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investigaciones Biom\u00e9dicas \u201cAlberto Sols,\u201d Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas\/Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid , Madrid 28029,","place":["Spain"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025032409211167200_r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1007\/978-0-387-70630-6_1","article-title":"Phylogeny of the TRAF\/MATH domain","volume":"597","author":"Zapata","year":"2007","journal-title":"Adv.
