Triggering of the Fc gamma RIII (CD16) on natural killer (NK) cells by monoclonal antibodies or antibody-coated target cells stimulates a rapid phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids and results in subsequent delivery of the lytic hit. The role of initial tyrosine phosphorylation in these events was investigated with a tyrosine protein kinase (TPK) inhibitor, genistein. At doses that inhibited CD16-triggered tyrosine phosphorylation of substrates in intact cells, genistein did not influence serine/threonine phosphorylation or target cell binding but prevented PLC activation, cell-mediated cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. These findings indicate that tyrosine phosphorylation is an early and critical event during receptor-mediated activation of the lytic machinery.

Recently, we demonstrated that aggregation of the high affinity IgE receptor in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells results in rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of a 72-kDa protein (pp72). Here we investigated the relationship of pp72 phosphorylation to guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) activation and phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis. The activation of G proteins by NaF in intact cells or by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) in streptolysin O-permeabilized cells induced both phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis and histamine release without tyrosine phosphorylation of pp72. Similarly, in RBL-2H3 cells expressing the G protein-coupled muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, carbachol activated phospholipase C and induced secretion without concomitant pp72 phosphorylation. Therefore, pp72 phosphorylation was not induced by G protein activation or as a consequence of phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis. To investigate whether pp72 tyrosine phosphorylation precedes the activation of phospholipase C, we studied the effect of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein. Preincubation of cells with genistein decreased, in parallel, antigen-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of pp72 (IC50 = 34 micrograms/ml) and histamine release (IC50 = 31 micrograms/ml). However, genistein at concentrations of up to 60 micrograms/ml did not inhibit phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis nor did it change the amount of the secondary messenger inositol (1,4,5)-triphosphate. Previous observations showed that there was no pp72 tyrosine phosphorylation after activation of protein kinase C or after an increase in intracellular calcium. Taken together, these results suggest that pp72 tyrosine phosphorylation represents a distinct, independent signaling pathway induced specifically by aggregation of the Fc epsilon RI.

Cross-linking of the B cell AgR results in activation of mature B cells and tolerization of immature B cells. The initial signaling events stimulated by membrane immunoglobulin (mIg) cross-linking are tyrosine phosphorylation of a number of proteins. Among the targets of mIg-induced tyrosine phosphorylation are the tyrosine kinases encoded by the lyn, blk, fyn, and syk genes, the mIg-associated proteins MB-1 and Ig-beta, phospholipase C-gamma 1 and -gamma 2, as well as many unidentified proteins. In this report we show that mIg cross-linking also regulates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-kinase), an enzyme that phosphorylates inositol phospholipids and plays a key role in mediating the effects of tyrosine kinases on growth control in fibroblasts. Cross-linking mIg on B lymphocytes greatly increased the amount of PtdIns 3-kinase activity which could be immunoprecipitated with anti-phosphotyrosine (anti-tyr(P) antibodies. This response was observed after mIg cross-linking in mIgM- and mIgG-bearing B cell lines and after cross-linking either mIgM or mIgD in murine splenic B cells. Thus, regulation of PtdIns 3-kinase is a common feature of signaling by several different isotypes of mIg. This response was rapid and peaked 2 to 3 min after the addition of anti-Ig antibodies. The anti-Ig-stimulated increase in PtdIns 3-kinase activity associated with anti-Tyr(P) immunoprecipitates could reflect increased tyrosine phosphorylation of PtdIns 3-kinase, increased activity of the enzyme, or both. In favor of the first possibility, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A blocked the increase in ant-Tyr(P)-immunoprecipitated PtdIns 3-kinase activity as well as the anti-Ig-induced tyrosine phosphorylation. Moreover, this response was not secondary to phospholipase C activation but rather seemed to be a direct consequence of mIg-induced tyrosine phosphorylation. Activation of the phosphoinositide pathway by a transfected M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor expressed in WEHI-231 B lymphoma cells did not increase the amount of PtdIns 3-kinase activity which could be precipitated with anti-Tyr(P) antibodies. Similarly, inhibition of the phosphoinositide pathway did not abrogate the ability of mIg cross-linking to stimulate this response. Thus, mIg-induced tyrosine phosphorylation regulates PtdIns 3-kinase, an important mediator of growth control in fibroblasts and potentially an important regulatory component in B cells as well.

Activation of T cells through the TCR/CD3 receptor complex with either specific Ag or antibody results in tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular protein substrates and phosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C (PLC) signaling, leading to the generation of PI breakdown products and the mobilization of intracellular calcium. Stimulation of the T cell surface receptor CD2 similarly propagates early signals through phosphatidylinositol-PLC activation. Previous reports have shown that CD3 activation leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of the PLC isozyme PLC gamma 1. In this report, we investigated the potential similarity between CD3-induced signaling through PLC gamma 1 and that induced by CD2. We show that stimulation of CD2 receptors on T cells caused tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC gamma 1. Cross-linking of CD2 with CD3 receptors augmented the phosphorylation of PLC gamma 1 on tyrosine, whereas ligation of the CD45 tyrosine phosphatase with CD2 receptors prevented PLC gamma 1 tyrosine phosphorylation. T cells stimulated by ligation of CD2 with its counter-receptor in the form of a soluble LFA-3/Ig fusion protein cross-linked on the cell surface, resulted in a low, but detectable level of PLC gamma 1 phosphorylation with prolonged kinetics, whereas that induced by cross-linking with anti-CD2 was stronger but transient. Co-ligation of LFA-3/Ig with suboptimal concentrations of anti-CD3 resulted in profound augmentation of PLC gamma 1 tyrosine phosphorylation, mobilization of intracellular calcium and T cell proliferation. To explore the relationship between CD3- and CD2-stimulated signaling, T cells were desensitized through 1 h incubation with anti-CD3. CD3 receptor modulation potently down-regulated CD2-induced PLC gamma 1 tyrosine phosphorylation and calcium mobilization. In contrast, PMA or ionomycin treatment did not alter CD2-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC gamma 1, suggesting that tyrosine kinase inhibition by CD3 receptor modulation was not caused by signaling events downstream of PLC gamma 1. Taken together, these results support the hypothesis that CD2 provides a potent co-stimulatory signal for CD3-induced T cell activation that is associated with tyrosine kinase(s) and PLC gamma 1.

The human monocytic cell line U937 possesses two classes of the IgG Fc receptor (Fc gamma R), a high-affinity 72-kDa Fc gamma R (Fc gamma RI) and a low-affinity 40-kDa Fc gamma R (Fc gamma RII). Cross-linking of either class of Fc gamma R in U937 cells elicits an increase in the concentration of free intracellular Ca2+. A rapid rise in the concentration of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-1,4,5-P3) and of several other inositol phosphates derived from Ins-1,4,5-P3 was observed after cross-linking of Fc gamma Rs in U937 cells. This result suggests that Ins-1,4,5-P3, generated by the action of phospholipase C (PLC), acts as a second messenger by which Fc gamma Rs mobilize intracellular Ca2+ in U937 cells. The mechanism by which the cross-linking of Fc gamma Rs triggers activation of PLC was studied. Cross-linking of Fc gamma RI or Fc gamma RII resulted in a rapid and transient phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 1 on tyrosine residues. It has previously been shown that phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 1 on tyrosine residues activates its enzymatic activity in cells. Prior incubation of U937 cells with a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, herbimycin A, prevented the tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 1 and the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate induced by the cross-linking of Fc gamma Rs. Thus, Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII appear to be functionally coupled to a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase that phosphorylates PLC-gamma 1 after receptor cross-linking, thereby causing activation of PLC-gamma 1.

We investigated the possible role of tyrosine phosphorylation in the activation process of mast cells by cross-linking of cell-bound IgE antibodies. Bone marrow-derived mouse mast cells (BMMC) were sensitized with mouse IgE antiDNP mAb and then challenged with multivalent Ag DNP conjugates of human serum albumin. Analysis of phosphotyrosine-containing proteins in their lysates by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting revealed that cross-linking of cell-bound IgE antibodies induced a marked increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins. To obtain direct evidence for activation of protein-tyrosine kinases (PTK), phosphotyrosine-containing proteins in lysates of mast cells were affinity purified, and kinase activity of the immunoprecipitates was assessed by an in vitro kinase assay. The results clearly showed activation of PTK upon cross-linking of Fc epsilon RI. Activation of PTK was not detected by the same assay when the sensitized BMMC were challenged with monovalent DNP-lysine. Treatment of sensitized BMMC with either Ca2+ ionophore or PMA failed to induce the activation of PTK. A representative IgE-independent secretagogue, thrombin, induced histamine release from BMMC but failed to induce activation of PTK. The results excluded the possibility that PTK activation is the consequence of an increase in intracellular Ca2+ or activation of protein kinase C. Addition of genistein, a PTK inhibitor, to sensitized BMMC before Ag challenge inhibited not only Ag-induced PTK activation, but also inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production, and histamine release in a similar dose-response relationship. Other PTK inhibitors, such as lavendustin A and tyrphostin RG50864, also inhibited the Ag-induced activation of PTK and histamine release. The results collectively suggest that activation of PTK is an early event upstream of the activation of phospholipase C, and is involved in transduction of IgE-dependent triggering signals to mediator release.

The interactions of the phosphotyrosine (Tyr(P))-containing proteins in basal and insulin-stimulated 3T3-L1 adipocytes with src homology 2 (SH2) domains from phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP), and phospholipase C gamma have been examined. The Tyr(P) forms of the insulin receptor and its 160-kDa substrate protein (pp160) associated with fusion proteins containing either or both the SH2 domains of PI3K, but not with fusion proteins containing the two SH2 domains of GAP or phospholipase C gamma. These results demonstrate a specificity for the association of the Tyr(P) form of the insulin receptor and pp160 with SH2 domains that parallels the reported effects of insulin on PI3K, GAP, and phospholipase C gamma in vivo. Immunoprecipitates of pp160 from the cytosol of insulin-treated, but not basal, 3T3-L1 adipocytes contained PI3K activity. Moreover, the Tyr(P) form of pp160 with associated PI3K activity migrated at 10 S on a sucrose velocity gradient, whereas the Tyr(P) form without associated activity migrated at 6 S. These findings indicate that the Tyr(P) form of pp160 associates directly with PI3K in vivo.

We examined the role of MHC class II molecules in transducing signals to activated human T cells. Cross-linking of MHC class II molecules synergized with submitogenic amounts of anti-CD3 mAb in causing proliferation and secretion of the cytokines IL-2, IL-3, IFN-gamma, and TNF-alpha by MHC class II-alloreactive T cell lines. Signaling via MHC class II molecules in T cells resulted in activation of tyrosine kinases, in generation of inositol phosphates, and in Ca2+ mobilization that was abrogated by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A. Thus, like signaling via TCR/CD3, signaling via MHC class II molecules involved tyrosine kinase-dependent activation of phospholipase C, resulting in phosphoinositol turnover and Ca2+ flux. However the signaling pathways coupled to MHC class II molecules and to TCR/CD3 differed, because engagement of the transmembrane phosphatase CD45 inhibited Ca2+ fluxes triggered via TCR/CD3 but not Ca2+ fluxes triggered via MHC class II molecules.

The triggering of T- or B-cell antigen-specific receptors is accompanied by rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of distinct cellular substrates, one of which is the gamma 1 isoform of inositol phospholipid-specific phospholipase C (PLC-gamma 1). This phosphorylation event, mediated by a putative protein tyrosine kinase coupled to the antigen receptor, probably stimulates the enzymatic activity of PLC-gamma 1, thereby promoting inositol phospholipid hydrolysis and other downstream signal transduction events. Recently, another ubiquitously expressed PLC isoform, PLC-gamma 2 (which shares 50.2% amino acid homology with PLC-gamma 1), has been identified. PLC-gamma 2-specific antibodies were used to evaluate the distribution and potential signaling role of this isoform in lymphocytes. Here, we report that, in contrast to T lymphocytes that express predominantly PLC-gamma 1, the major isoform expressed in murine and human resting B cells is PLC-gamma 2. Among B-cell tumor lines, all five murine B-lymphoma lines tested and one of six human B-lymphoblastoid cell lines also expressed predominantly PLC-gamma 2. However, three other human lines preferentially expressed PLC-gamma 1, and two others displayed similar levels of the two PLC-gamma isoforms. Furthermore, the triggering of B-cell surface immunoglobulin by anti-receptor antibodies was accompanied by a rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 2, which peaked after 5 min of stimulation. Conversely, and in agreement with recent reports, triggering of the T-cell antigen receptor complex led to the predominant phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 1 on tyrosine. These findings identify PLC-gamma 2 as a substrate for a B-cell putative protein tyrosine kinase coupled to the antigen receptor and suggest that its tyrosine phosphorylation constitutes a critical and early event in B-cell activation and, furthermore, that PLC-gamma 1 and PLC-gamma 2 may participate in similar but distinct signal transduction pathways in lymphocytes.

Stimulation of certain receptor tyrosine kinases results in the tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of phospholipase C gamma (PLC gamma), an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns). This hydrolysis generates diacylglycerol and free inositol phosphate, which in turn activate protein kinase C and increase intracellular Ca2+, respectively. PLC gamma physically associates with activated receptor tyrosine kinases, suggesting that it is a substrate for direct phosphorylation by these kinases. Here we report that a fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor with a single point mutation at residue 766 replacing tyrosine with phenylalanine fails to associate with PLC gamma in response to FGF. This mutant receptor also failed to mediate PtdIns hydrolysis and Ca2+ mobilization after FGF stimulation. However, the mutant receptor phosphorylated itself and several other cellular proteins, and it mediated mitogenesis in response to FGF. These findings show that a point mutation in the FGF receptor selectively eliminates activation of PLC gamma and that neither Ca2+ mobilization nor PtdIns hydrolysis are required for FGF-induced mitogenesis.
