CEACAM1 induces B-cell survival and is essential for protective antiviral antibody production. Nat Commun 2015; 6:6217.

Abstract
B cells are essential for antiviral immune defence because they produce neutralizing antibodies, present antigen and maintain the lymphoid architecture. Here we show that intrinsic signalling of CEACAM1 is essential for generating efficient B-cell responses. Although CEACAM1 exerts limited influence on the proliferation of B cells, expression of CEACAM1 induces survival of proliferating B cells via the BTK/Syk/NF-κB-axis. The absence of this signalling cascade in naive Ceacam1−/− mice limits the survival of B cells. During systemic infection with cytopathic vesicular stomatitis virus, Ceacam1−/− mice can barely induce neutralizing antibody responses and die early after infection. We find, therefore, that CEACAM1 is a crucial regulator of B-cell survival, influencing B-cell numbers and protective antiviral antibody responses. Antibody responses are regulated by selective survival of B cells with proper antigen specificity. Here the authors show that CEACAM1 is critical for B-cell survival during homeostasis and antiviral responses.

CEACAM1 on activated NK cells inhibits NKG2D-mediated cytolytic function and signaling. Eur J Immunol 2013; 43:2473-83. [PMID: 23696226 PMCID: PMC3775953 DOI: 10.1002/eji.201242676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2012] [Revised: 04/09/2013] [Accepted: 05/17/2013] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) is expressed on activated natural killer (NK) cells wherein it inhibits lysis of CEACAM1-bearing tumor cell lines. The mechanism for this is unknown. Here, we show that interleukin-2-induced expression of CEACAM1 on both mouse and primary human NK cells impairs the ability of NK gene complex group 2 member D (NKG2D) to stimulate cytolysis of CEACAM1-bearing cells. This process requires the expression of CEACAM1 on the NK cells and on the tumor cells, which is consistent with the involvement of trans-homophilic interactions between CEACAM1. Mechanistically, co-engagement of NKG2D and CEACAM1 results in a biochemical association between these two surface receptors and the recruitment of Src homology phosphatase 1 by CEACAM1 that leads to dephosphorylation of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor Vav1 and blockade of downstream signaling that is associated with the initiation of cytolysis. Thus, CEACAM1 on activated NK cells functions as an inhibitory receptor for NKG2D-mediated cytolysis, which has important implications for understanding the means by which CEACAM1 expression adversely affects tumor immunity.
