The IL-15R{alpha} Chain Signals Through Association with Syk in Human B Cells1

The {alpha}-chain of the IL-15R (IL-15R{alpha}) serves as the specific, high-affinity receptor for IL-15. It is expressed by lymphoid and nonlymphoid cells, including B cell lymphoma lines. In this study, we have further explored IL-15R{alpha}-mediated signaling in activated primary B cells and in Raji cells, a human B-lymphoblastoid cell line which expresses the IL-15R{alpha} and IL-2R{gamma} chains, but lacks the IL-2R{beta} chain. Stimulation of Raji cells with IL-15 induces their proliferation and rescues them from C2-ceramide-induced apoptosis. By immunoprecipitation and Western blotting, we show that treatment of Raji cells and activated primary B cells with IL-15 induces coprecipitation of Syk kinase with the IL-15R{alpha} chain. Upon association, the activated Syk kinase phosphorylates the IL-15R{alpha} chain as well as phospholipase C{gamma}, which coprecipitates with Syk. Furthermore, transfection of Raji cells with stem-loop Syk antisense oligonucleotides prevents IL-15R{alpha} and phospholipase C{gamma} phosphorylation as well as the inhibition of apoptosis by IL-15. Mutation of a defined region of the intracellular signaling portion of IL-15R{alpha} (Tyr227) abrogates both the IL-15R{alpha}/Syk association and IL-15R{alpha} phosphorylation. Taken together, this suggests that Syk kinase physically and functionally associates with the IL-15R{alpha} chain in B cells and that Syk plays a key role in mediating IL-15-induced signal transduction, thus accounting for the distinct functional consequences of IL-15 vs IL-2 binding to B cells.
