Binding of ligand to the alpha subunit of Fc gamma RIIIA(CD16), expressed at the natural killer (NK) cell membrane in association with homo or heterodimers of proteins of the zeta family, results in phosphorylation of several proteins on tyrosine residues. We have analyzed the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in the regulation of molecular events induced upon stimulation of Fc gamma RIIIA in NK cells and in T cells expressing the Fc gamma RIII alpha chain in association with endogenous zeta 2 homodimers and devoid of other (CD3, CD2) transducing molecules. Our data indicate that treatment of these cells with protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors prevents not only Fc gamma RIIIA-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylation but also phosphatidylinositol 4,5 diphosphate hydrolysis and increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration, indicating a primary role of tyrosine kinase(s) in the induction of these early activation events. Occupancy of Fc gamma RIIIA by ligand results in phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 1 tyrosine phosphorylation in NK cells and in Fc gamma RIIIA-transfected CD3-/CD2- T cells, and induces functional activation of p56lck in Fc gamma RIIIA alpha/zeta 2-transfected T cells, suggesting the possibility that the receptor-induced PLC-gamma 1 activation occurs upon phosphorylation of its tyrosine residues mediated by this kinase and is, at least in part, responsible for the signal transduction mediated via CD16 upon ligand binding.

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.

Monoclonal antibody crosslinking of phosphatidylinositol-anchored Ly-6A.2 molecules on the surface of murine T lymphocytes leads to cell activation and secretion of IL-2. To examine the potential activity of these molecules in human T cells we transfected the Ly-6A.2 gene into Jurkat cells. Transfection of Jurkat cells with genomic Ly-6A.2 sequences results in low levels of Ly-6A.2 on the cell surface. However, linking the Ly-6A.2 sequences to the enhancer from the human CD2 gene results in greatly increased expression of Ly-6A.2. These molecules are anchored to the membrane via a phosphatidylinositol linkage. Crosslinking of Ly-6A.2 molecules with soluble mAb stimulates the transfected Jurkat cells to produce IL-2. This stimulation is abrogated by treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. The transfected human T cells displayed the same unusual crosslinking requirements for stimulation with anti-Ly-6A.2 mAbs as previously observed for murine T cells. Crosslinking of Ly-6A.2 with soluble antibodies is stimulatory, whereas immobilized antibodies are inactive. The crosslinking requirements for antiCD3 mAb stimulation display a reciprocal pattern. These data demonstrate that the Ly-6A.2 pathway for T cell activation is conserved between human and murine T cells.

The aim of this study was to explore whether Thy-1, like other members of the Ig-like superfamily (e.g., CD2 and neural cell adhesion molecule), participates in cell-cell adhesion. This was investigated by measuring the binding of Thy-1+ probe cells (thymocytes or AKR1 T lymphoma cells) to Thy-1- cloned mouse thymic epithelial (MTE) cells using a quantitative cell adhesion assay. The results were as follows: (a) the thymo-epithelial cell interaction was found to be inhibitable (by 25-40%) by soluble Thy-1 molecules purified from phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C-treated mouse thymocytes as well as by Fab' fragments of a Thy-1-specific mAb; (b) the binding of the Thy-1- AKR1 (Thy-1-d) mutant to MTE cells was found to be reduced (by 50%) as compared with that of the wild type T lymphoma; (c) the Thy-1-mediated adhesion pathway did not require Ca2+ and promoted the initial thymo-epithelial binding measured at 4 degrees C. These data provide the first direct evidence of an adhesive function of Thy-1 and suggest that this molecule, in addition to its T cell triggering properties, might play a role during the early T cell maturation by promoting thymocyte adhesion to thymic stroma.

We have previously shown that stimulation of the Ti/CD3 receptor complex on human T-cells potentiates adenylate cyclase activation by adenosine or forskolin. Anti-CD2 receptor antibodies shared with anti-CD3 antibodies the ability to potentiate dose dependently the adenosine- and forskolin-stimulated cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation, whereas stimulation of the CD45 receptor had no effect on cyclase activity. Modulation of the CD3 complex with anti-CD3 antibodies was found to decrease the CD2 receptor effect on adenylate cyclase activity greatly. The possible involvement of CD3-stimulated phospholipase C (PLC) activation on the cAMP potentiation was examined using HPB-ALL cells that express a CD3 complex with a defect coupling to PLC. Stimulation of the CD3 complex on HPB-ALL cells had only slight effects on adenosine-stimulated cAMP formation, whereas the effect on forskolin-stimulated cAMP was virtually unchanged. The CD3 effect was further analyzed in Jurkat cell membranes. In contrast to the results obtained after stimulation of intact cells, it was found that OKT3 stimulation of membranes did not potentiate the forskolin response. Finally, we tested whether inhibition of endogenous adenylate cyclase agonist production affected the CD3 effect. Inhibition of adenosine production or adenosine breakdown with 8-p-sulphophenyl theophylline (8-PST) or adenosine deaminase (ADA), respectively, did not alter the CD3 effects. Indometacin, which inhibits prostaglandin production, also had no effect. Together, these data show that stimulation of the CD2 receptor potentiates adenylate cyclase responses by a mechanism that is dependent on CD3 expression. Furthermore, the CD3 effect on cAMP appears to be mediated by two different mechanisms, one which is, and one which is not dependent on PLC. Finally, this effect is not due to an endogenous production of adenylate cyclase agonists.

Thapsigargin (TG), a sesquiterpene lactone and non-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate tumor promoter, stimulates a rapid increase in intracellular free Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i) in human T lymphocytes clone P28. The [Ca2+]i response to TG is sustained in the presence of 1 mM extracellular Ca2+, while it becomes transient in Ca2(+)-free medium suggesting that TG activates both the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and the entry of Ca2+ from extracellular spaces. TG-induced Ca2+ influx is completely abolished after cell depolarization caused by increased extracellular concentrations of K+. The rise in [Ca2+]i stimulated by TG occurs in the absence of detectable production of inositol phosphates. Moreover, TG does not alter the early biochemical events of T cell activation triggered through the CD2 or the CD3 T cell antigens. Indeed, both inositol phosphate production and intracellular pH increase induced by specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb) remain unchanged after TG treatment. These data suggest that in human T lymphocytes TG releases Ca2+ from an intracellular pool by a mechanism which is independent of the phospholipase C metabolic pathway. Preincubation with TG of T cell clone P28 empties both the CD2 and the CD3-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ pool(s). Conversely, prestimulation of T cell clone P28 by CD3 or CD2-specific mAb inhibits the Ca2(+)-mobilizing effect of TG. Thus it appears that TG and CD2- or CD3-specific mAb mobilize Ca2+ from common Ca2+ pool(s). Taken together, these results demonstrate that Ca2+ influx in human T cells may be linked to mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ pools and by a mechanism independent of phosphoinositide hydrolysis. They further indicate that the release of intracellular Ca2+ pool(s) may play a major role in the opening of cell membrane Ca2+ channels observed during the CD2- or CD3-induced stimulation of human T lymphocytes.

In previous studies we demonstrated the triggering of the phospholipase C (PLC) pathway during the activation of an Ag-specific human CD4+ T lymphocyte clone by a mitogenic pair of CD2 (X11,D66) mAb. Similar conditions were applied to investigate a possible involvement of a phospholipase A2 (PLA2) acting as an additional alternative pathway during human T cell activation. Our results show that arachidonic acid or its derivatives are released after CD2 triggering. This release is largely independent of PLC activation and is mediated by a PLA2 because: 1) phosphatidylcholine is the preferential source of [3H]arachidonate release; 2) [3H]arachidonic acid release and phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis are blocked by two inhibitors of solubilized PLA2, mepacrine, and 4-p-bromophenacylbromide; and 3) we evidenced a PLA2 activity in cell homogenates. Extracellular calcium appears to play a critical role because the effects of CD2 mAb were inhibited in a Ca2(+)-depleted medium. In contrast, protein kinase C is not implicated since PMA, a protein kinase C activator, neither stimulated arachidonic acid release nor modulated CD2-induced arachidonic acid release. Cyclic AMP which has been proved to regulate the activity of the PLC in T lymphocytes does not appear to play an important role in the regulation of PLA2 activity since PGE2 has only a minimal effect on [3H]-arachidonate release. Altogether, these findings suggest that CD2 triggering stimulates a PLA2 activity in T lymphocytes via an extracellular Ca2(+)-dependent PLC protein kinase C independent mechanism.

G proteins are membrane-bound molecules involved in coupling of surface receptors with signal transduction effector systems in multiple cell types including T lymphocytes. Given that mature T cells which lack antigen receptors (CDl-Ti) are refractory to stimulation through CD2 or other accessory molecules, T cell receptor components likely play a critical role in coupling surface receptors with signal transduction effectors. It has recently been proposed that modulation of T cell receptor components with MAbs results in a physical loss or functional inactivation of G protein(s). In view of the importance of the T cell activation process, we herein examined G proteins in untreated or antibody-modulated Jurkat T cells as well as in genetic variants lacking either CD3-Ti or CD2 surface receptors. 43- and 41-kDa G protein alpha chains are ADP ribosylated with cholera (CTX) and pertussis (PTX) toxins, respectively, in wild type and receptor minus cell populations. In the wild type Jurkat cell line as well as in CD3- and CD2- variants, AlF4- can activate the G protein(s) presumably associated with phospholipase C to generate polyphosphoinositide turnover as well as an increase in cytoplasmic free calcium ions. Furthermore, G protein(s) linked to adenylylcyclase, a pathway which inhibits T lymphocyte activation, can be directly activated with CTX in the absence of CD3-Ti or CD2 on the membrane. Importantly, AlF4- can also induce polyphosphoinositide turnover in Jurkat cells whose T cell receptor proteins have been modulated with anti-CD3 MAb. These data provide functional and biochemical evidence that at least certain G proteins are intact in the absence of surface expression of CD3-Ti or CD2 molecules and imply that CD3-Ti desensitization is not singularly due to G protein loss.

In this study we compare the effect of CD3 and CD2 ligation on tyrosine kinase activation in human peripheral blood T cells. Using antiphosphotyrosine antibody to detect tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular substrates, we demonstrate that mAb stimulation of either CD3 or CD2 results in tyrosine phosphorylation of the TCR-zeta chain and 135- and 100-kDa proteins. However, differences are observed between CD3 and CD2 ligation; only the former results in rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of 72-, 65-, and 40-kDa substrates. Co-aggregation of CD2 and CD45, a tyrosine phosphatase, results in inhibition of intracellular calcium elevation and T cell proliferation. We demonstrate in this study that this manipulation also inhibits polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis and tyrosine phosphorylation of the 100-kDa substrate. The failure of tyrosine phosphorylation of the 100-kDa substrate is specific in that phosphorylation of the 135-kDa protein is not inhibited. Similar results are observed when CD2 and CD45 are independently cross-linked rather than co-aggregated. The observation that CD45 cross-linking alters tyrosine phosphorylation of T cell substrates and effects polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis is further evidence that tyrosine phosphorylation regulates early events in T cell activation including, perhaps, phospholipase C activity.

The predominant T lymphocytes that accumulate in the peripheral lymphoid tissues of mice homozygous for the lpr gene bear the phenotype CD3+CD4-CD8-. By certain functional criteria these cells would appear to have impaired CD3-mediated signal transduction, in that they do not respond to alloantigen and produce little if any detectable IL-2 or other lymphokines. However, the signal pathway appears adequate for achieving other T cell functions, including induction of high affinity IL-2R, and thymic deletion. To clarify the basis of this seeming discrepancy, we examined transmembrane signal transduction in T cell subsets of lpr/lpr (lpr) and +/+ mice, as defined by increased [Ca2+]i and the generation of inositol phosphates (InsPs). Stimulation of lpr CD4-CD8- cells with anti-CD3 antibody produced prompt and sustained increases in the concentration of [C2+]i and in InsPs. Similar responses occurred in mature T cells from lpr and +/+ mice, except for the somewhat slower kinetics of their increased [Ca2+]i. In marked distinction to the anti-CD2-mediated response, Con A, even in high doses, could not stimulate any increase of [Ca2+]i in lpr CD4-CD8- cells, and only modest increases in InsPs. Mature T cells, whether of lpr or +/+ origin, yielded normal increased [Ca2+]i with Con A. The reason for the differences in signal transduction between anti-CD3 and Con A stimulation of lpr CD4-CD8- cells may relate to the absence of surface structures on these immature T cells that are required for activation by Con A but not by anti-CD3. The data demonstrate that the CD3 complex in lpr CD4-CD8- T cells can couple to phospholipase C to hydrolyze phosphoinositides. These activation properties of lpr CD4-CD8- T cells have interesting functional parallels to thymocytes at the time of thymic selection, as well as tolerance induction of mature T lymphocytes.
