We have previously reported that CD40 stimulation sensitizes human memory B cells to undergo apoptosis upon subsequent B cell receptor (BCR) ligation. We have proposed that activation stimuli connect the BCR to an apoptotic pathway in mature B cells and that BCR-induced apoptosis of activated B cells could serve a similar function as activation-induced cell death in the mature T cell compartment. Although it has been reported that caspases are activated during this process, the early molecular events that link the Ag receptor to these apoptosis effectors are largely unknown. In this study, we report that acquisition of susceptibility to BCR-induced apoptosis requires entry of memory B cells into the S phase of the cell cycle. We also show that transduction of the death signal via the BCR sequentially proceeds through a caspase-independent and a caspase-dependent phase, which take place upstream and downstream of the mitochondria, respectively. Furthermore, our data indicate that the BCR-induced alterations of the mitochondrial functions are involved in activation of the caspase cascade. We have found both caspases-3 and -9, but not caspase-8, to be involved in the BCR apoptotic pathway, thus supporting the notion that initiation of the caspase cascade could be under the control of the caspase-9/Apaf-1/cytochrome c multimolecular complex. Altogether, our findings establish the mitochondria as the connection point through which the Ag receptor can trigger the executioners of apoptotic cell death in mature B lymphocytes.
