CD40 mAb at subsaturating doses inhibit the growth of transformants of the M12 murine cell line expressing intact full length CD40 molecules (M12/CD40+ cells) but do not inhibit the growth of two M12 transformants expressing either a mutant CD40 cDNA missing most of the cytoplasmic tail (CD40/tailless) or a mutant cDNA with a substitution at residue 234 (CD40/234A, Ala for Thr). Using these transformants, we tested a panel of cytokines for the ability to mimic CD40 mAb. rIL-6 behaved like CD40 mAb and inhibited the growth of M12/CD40+ cells but not of CD40/tailless or CD40/234A mutants. The effect of IL-6 on M12/CD40+ cells not only required intact CD40 including threonine 234 but also was specific because IL-6 mAb blocked the inhibitory activity. The M12/CD40+ cells responsive to IL-6 expressed greater than 300,000 CD40 molecules/cells but, like M12/CD40-controls, expressed only small numbers (less than 50/cell) of high affinity IL-6R, indicating that CD40 is not a receptor for IL-6. Nevertheless, IL-6 utilizes intact CD40 efficiently when it signals these cells: treatment of M12/CD40+ cells with IL-6 induced increased phosphorylation of CD40. Conversely, triggering CD40 on M12/CD40+ cells leads to IL-6 production. Similar effects were evident in human CD40+ B cells: IL-6 increased the phosphorylation of CD40 in the IL-6-responsive cell line, CESS, and CD40 mAb induced IL-6 production in activated human B cells. Thus, CD40 may function to receive and regulate IL-6-dependent signals in B cells.
