Stimulation of thymocytes or mature T cells via the T cell receptor (TcR)/CD3 complex activates a cascade of processes inducing cells to enter the cell cycle. A key step is the activation of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) within seconds following TcR/CD3 stimulation, an event which is strongly enhanced by co-ligation of the CD4 (or CD8) accessory molecule with TcR/CD3. In contrast, co-ligation of CD45 inhibits the same TcR/CD3 responses. The machinery which couples the TcR/CD3 complex, CD4, and CD45 to PI-PLC appears to involve regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation, as the TcR/CD3 and CD4 receptors are associated with the tyrosine kinases p59fyn and p56lck, respectively, and CD45 has intrinsic tyrosine phosphatase activity. Here, we have examined the ability of CD45 to regulate signal transduction via TcR/CD3 in human thymocytes. Co-cross-linking CD45 to the TcR/CD3 complex strongly suppressed the tyrosine phosphorylation of several intracellular substrates normally seen following TcR/CD3 stimulation. This effect of CD45 was associated with inhibition of a rise in intracellular calcium following TcR/CD3 ligation. Since TcR/CD3 stimulation of mature T cells induces tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC gamma 1, we investigated this phenomenon in thymocytes, and asked whether ligation of CD45 might regulate this process. By immunoprecipitation we found that TcR/CD3 stimulation induced tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC gamma 1, an effect which was enhanced by co-cross-linking CD4 to TcR/CD3. In contrast, co-ligation of CD45 strongly blocked PLC gamma 1 phosphorylation induced by either stimulus. Consistent with previous findings in mature T cells, CD45 cross-linking was able to partially inhibit TcR/CD3-induced thymocyte proliferation when interleukin 2 was used as a second signal, but almost completely (80%-90%) blocked proliferation when anti-CD28 mAb was used as the second signal, suggesting that CD45 cross-linking may be able to block interleukin 2 production via the CD28 pathway. These effects of CD45 on TcR/CD3 signaling and proliferation in thymocytes point towards a potential role for this pathway in thymic selection.

It has been proposed that during T cell receptor antigen recognition, CD4- or CD8-p56lck molecules interact with the T cell antigen receptor-CD3 complex (TCR-CD3) to phosphorylate various undefined substrates, which then initiate signal transduction through the TCR-CD3 complex. The ability of CD4 to modulate the TCR-CD3-induced increase in intracellular Ca2+, [Ca2+]i, and substrate tyrosine phosphorylation was studied in mutants of the human leukemic T cell line HPB-ALL characterized by their low expression of the TCR-CD3 complex on the cell surface. In TCR-CD3low cells, in which CD3-zeta was found to be associated with the TCR-CD3 complex, cross-linking CD3 with CD4 resulted in a profile of calcium mobilization, CD3-zeta, and phospholipase C-gamma 1 tyrosine phosphorylation similar to that observed in HPB-ALL cells, although the magnitude of generalized substrate tyrosine phosphorylation appeared to be smaller, as compared with wild-type cells. Responses were weak or absent when CD3 was cross-linked alone. In contrast, in a mutant in which association of CD3-zeta 2 with the TCR-CD3 was defective, cross-linking of CD3 with CD4 had a weaker effect on any of the activation parameters tested. These experiments showed that the presence of CD3-zeta 2 in the TCR-CD3 complex is of critical importance for the ability of CD4 to enhance early transducing signals inside the cell. The data also suggest that CD4-associated protein tyrosine kinase p56lck could up-regulate defective CD3-mediated induction of phospholipase C activity by increasing tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma 1.

Digestion of phosphatidylinositol (PI) or glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors of membrane proteins on the external cell surface with exogenous PI-specific phospholipase C (PIPLC) from Bacillus thuringiensis was shown to transmit a signal into the thymocyte to modulate the TCR/CD3 complex-induced signal delivery for cell activation. This was demonstrated for very early protein tyrosine phosphorylation, early c-fos transcription and late DNA synthesis. For this effect preincubation of the cells with PIPLC was required, but there was no evidence of involvement of any soluble products released from the cell surface by PIPLC in the signaling, suggesting a crucial role of the membrane-bound counterpart (diacylglycerol or diradylglycerol) of the PI/GPI hydrolysate. A possible role for this accessory signal in the microorganism-linked control of the (diacylglycerol or diradylglycerol) of the PI/GPI hydrolysate. A possible role for this accessory signal in the microorganism-linked control of the T cell receptor function is discussed.

A monoclonal antibody (OKT3) directed against the T cell receptor (TcR)/CD3 molecular complex, as well as a protein kinase C (PKC) activator (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, PMA) were added to a culture of tumoral Jurkat T cells, in order to precise the sequence of intracellular signals leading to T cell activation. The experiments were performed in the presence or in absence of various stimulators of adenylate cyclase (AC) such as forskolin (FK), cholera toxin (CT) or prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). OKT3 increased inositol phosphate (IP) production; in parallel, it induced a slight accumulation of cAMP. The effect was markedly potentiated in presence of FK or CT, and to a lesser extent in the presence of PGE2. FK stimulated adenylate cyclase of Jurkat cell membranes, but the effect was not potentiated by OKT3, suggesting that potentiation of cAMP accumulation requires intact cells and is not mediated by direct receptor coupling. On the other hand, elevated cAMP accumulation induced a negative feedback on IP production. The effect of OKT3 on cAMP was mimicked by A23187, a Ca2+ ionophore, and abolished in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. PMA had the same effect as OKT3 on basal or FK- and CT-induced accumulation of cAMP. In contrast, it inhibited the PGE2 effect on the cyclic nucleotide. After desensitization of PKC by pretreatment with a high concentration of PMA, the phorbol ester was no longer effective. Under those conditions, facilitation by OKT3 of FK-induced accumulation of cAMP was preserved, whereas potentiation by the monoclonal antibody of the PGE2 stimulation of AC was even enhanced. The data indicate that cAMP accumulation indirectly elicited by phospholipase C activation is, at least partly, mediated by IP-dependent Ca2+ mobilization, while PKC is preferentially effective as an inhibitor of PGE2 stimulation.

Structural and functional analysis of T cell receptor (TcR)-ligand binding would be greatly advanced by the availability of an intact, assembled TcR in soluble form. We have produced such a molecule, by splicing the extracellular domains of a TcR to the glycosyl phosphatidylinositol membrane anchor sequences of Thy-1. The molecule is expressed in the absence of CD3 on the cell surface, and can be cleaved from the membrane by treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. The alpha and beta chains of the soluble molecule are paired in the native conformation as judged by reactivity with the anti-V beta 8 monoclonal antibody F23.1, and with the anti-clonotypic monoclonal antibody 1B2; it is a disulfide-linked dimer with a mol. mass of 95 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions, and 47 kDa after reduction. We conclude that we have generated an alpha/beta TcR in soluble form.

We have recently identified a novel murine glycoprotein termed sgp-60, which is expressed on the cell surface of T and B lymphocytes. Because of the profound modulatory effects of sgp-60 on activation through the T cell receptor/CD3 complex, we have examined the membrane attachment domain of the molecule. sgp-60 is not expressed on the surface of variants of a T-T hybridoma cell line that are defective in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis. In wild-type but not in mutant cells, sgp-60 can be labeled with palmitic acid. Furthermore, the molecule can be removed from the cell surface of both T and B lymphocytes by enzymatic digestion with a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. We conclude that the sgp-60 molecule is linked to the plasma membrane via a GPI anchor.

The T cell receptor for antigen (TCR) is a multichain complex on the surface of T lymphocytes which binds peptide antigen and transduces a transmembrane signal leading to IL-2 secretion. Engagement of the TCR leads to activation of a tyrosine phosphorylation pathway and a phospholipase C (PLC) pathway leading to activation of protein kinase C (PCK). Currently available data suggest that the primary event in signal transduction is tyrosine kinase activation, since when this pathway is inhibited, PLC activation is blocked and there is no production of IL-2. The nature of the tyrosine kinase which initiates the signaling cascade is currently unknown. The CD4/CD8 associated kinase p56lck clearly plays a role in tyrosine phosphorylation, but it is clearly not the only tyrosine kinase involved. Studies demonstrating physical association of p59lyn with the TCR implicate fyn as an important candidate for the TCR tyrosine kinase. The protein tyrosine phosphatase CD45 also plays a critical early role in signal transduction since in cells where it is deficient, neither tyrosine kinase activation nor later signaling events are seen. The importance of the PLC/PKC pathway is illustrated by the fact that activation of this pathway alone may lead to IL-2 production. However, there may also be other mechanisms which can generate an IL-2 response. Two proteins known to be involved in growth regulation--p21ras and c-raf--have now been shown to be downstream targets of the PLC/PKC pathway.

The importance of the tyrosine phosphatase CD45 in the regulation of lymphocyte activation was first demonstrated using antibodies against the extracellular domain of CD45 in functional assays. More recently it was reported that CD45-negative mutants were nonresponsive to stimulation through the T cell receptor-CD3 complex. We have studied the effect of CD45 cross-linking on the early signals induced by CD3 in mouse T cells. We show that CD45 cross-linking inhibits the increase in inositol phosphates and cytoplasmic Ca2+ induced by cross-linking of CD3. This indicates that CD45 is involved in the regulation of phospholipase C.

In lymphocytes, CD45 regulates the increase in cytoplasmic calcium concentration that occurs after receptor cross-linking. Here we show that T cell receptor complex (CD3/Ti)-mediated inositol phosphate production was inhibited by CD45 ligation in Jurkat cells. CD3/Ti signaling in normal T cells was also inhibited by CD45 ligation, but coupling of CD4 with CD3/Ti gave augmented calcium signals that were entirely resistant to the inhibitory effect of CD45. In contrast, CD3-induced T cell proliferation was suppressed by immobilized CD45 mAb even in the presence of CD4 mAb. The effect of CD45 and CD4 ligation on tyrosine phosphorylation during T cell activation was directly examined by immunoblotting with anti-phosphotyrosine. Using immobilized mAb, CD45 ligation suppressed the tyrosine phosphorylation of specific substrates induced by CD3/Ti stimulation, including almost complete suppression of 150-, 36-, and 35-kDa proteins and partial suppression of 76- and 80-kDa proteins. Other tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins induced by CD3/Ti stimulation, including 135- and 21-kDa proteins, were not suppressed by simultaneous ligation of CD3/Ti and CD45. Simultaneous ligation of CD3 and CD4 enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of all substrates, but did not overcome the CD45-mediated suppression of tyrosine phosphorylation of the 35- and 36-kDa proteins. The CD45-mediated suppression of phospholipase C activation is therefore modulated by association with CD4 without altering the specific inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation and T cell proliferation after co-ligation of CD45 and CD3/Ti.

It is known that the receptor for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) activates phospholipase C (PLC) by phosphorylating the gamma 1 isoform of PLC with the receptor protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK), whereas a guanine nucleotide-binding protein participates as a transducer in the PLC activation through the receptors for vasopressin, bombesin and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha). We have shown in a rat fibroblast line that staurosporine is a potent PTK inhibitor capable of clearly discriminating the two types of receptor-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization and, by inference, PLC activations the response triggered by PDGF was completely inhibited, whereas the responses triggered by vasopressin, bombesin and PGF2 alpha were not affected at all. The Ca2+ mobilization in human T and B cell lines induced by anti-CD3 and anti-immunoglobulins (Ig) was completely suppressed by staurosporine. The results indicate that the PTK activity plays an essential role in the PLC activation through the T cell receptor/CD3 complex and through membrane Ig.
