  • Description: <jats:sec><jats:title>Objective</jats:title><jats:p>Fcγ receptors (FcγR) play important roles in both protective and pathogenic immune responses. The assembly of the CBM signalosome encompassing caspase recruitment domain–containing protein 9, B cell CLL/lymphoma 10, and mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT‐1) is required for optimal FcγR‐induced canonical NF‐κB activation and proinflammatory cytokine release. This study was undertaken to clarify the relevance of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">MALT</jats:styled-content>‐1 protease activity in FcγR‐driven events and evaluate the therapeutic potential of selective <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">MALT</jats:styled-content>‐1 protease inhibitors in FcγR‐mediated diseases.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>Using genetic and pharmacologic disruption of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">MALT</jats:styled-content>‐1 scaffolding and enzymatic activity, we assessed the relevance of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">MALT</jats:styled-content>‐1 function in murine and human primary myeloid cells upon stimulation with immune complexes (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">IC</jats:styled-content>s) and in murine models of autoantibody‐driven arthritis and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ITP</jats:styled-content>).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p><jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">MALT</jats:styled-content>‐1 protease function is essential for optimal FcγR‐induced production of proinflammatory cytokines by various murine and human myeloid cells stimulated with <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">IC</jats:styled-content>s.
