Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) plays critical roles in Ig class switch recombination and V(H) gene somatic hypermutation. We investigated the role of IL-4 in AID mRNA induction, the signaling transduction involved in IL-4-mediated AID induction, and the effect of CD45 on IL-4-dependent AID expression in human B cells. IL-4 was able to induce AID expression in human primary B cells and B cell lines, and IL-4-induced AID expression was further enhanced by CD40 signaling. IL-4-dependent AID induction was inhibited by a dominant-negative STAT6, indicating that IL-4 induced AID expression via the Janus kinase (JAK)/STAT6 signaling pathway. Moreover, triggering of CD45 with anti-CD45 Abs can inhibit IL-4-induced AID expression, and this CD45-mediated AID inhibition correlated with the ability of anti-CD45 to suppress IL-4-activated JAK1, JAK3, and STAT6 phosphorylations. Thus, in humans, IL-4 alone is sufficient to drive AID expression, and CD40 signaling is required for optimal AID production; IL-4-induced AID expression is mediated via the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, and can be negatively regulated by the JAK phosphatase activity of CD45. This study indicates that the JAK phosphatase activity of CD45 can be induced by anti-CD45 Ab treatment, and this principle may find clinical application in modulation of JAK activation in immune-mediated diseases.
