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.

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.

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 TCR is a multimeric structure comprised of distinct Ag recognition and signal transduction components. Although none of the molecules that make up the TCR possess intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity, stimulation of T cells via the TCR results in the rapid appearance of newly tyrosine phosphorylated proteins in cell lysates. Evidence suggests ligation of the TCR induces activation of a PTK that may be a member of the src family. One early consequence of this TCR-mediated PTK activation is the phosphorylation of the gamma 1 isoform of phospholipase C. This phosphorylation event is associated with increased enzymatic activity resulting in the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate into two second messengers, inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. Recently, our laboratory and others have isolated mutant T cells that lack surface expression of CD45, the major surface tyrosine phosphatase expressed on lymphoid cells. Stimulation of the TCR on these cells fails to result in the expected activation events. We demonstrate that reconstitution of surface expression of the 180-kDa isoform of CD45 by gene transfer into a CD45-deficient mutant of the Jurkat T cell leukemic line restores the ability of the TCR to couple fully to its signal transduction machinery. These results support the role of CD45 tyrosine phosphatase activity in regulating the TCR-activated PTK.

Antibody-mediated ligation of the CD3/T cell antigen receptor (TcR) activates phospholipase C (PLC) via a tyrosine kinase signaling pathway that requires expression of the transmembrane tyrosine phosphatase CD45. In normal T cells, CD3-mediated PLC activation is significantly augmented by co-ligation of CD3 with the CD4 co-receptor; however, unlike CD3-associated tyrosine kinases, antibody-induced activation of the CD4-associated tyrosine kinase p56lck does not require CD45 expression. To explore the role of CD45 in the CD3 and CD4 activation pathways further, we examined the effect of CD3/CD4 cross-linking on tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of phospholipase C in CD45- mutant cells of the T cell leukemia line HPB.ALL. In accord with previous observations, anti-CD3 stimulation of the CD45-deficient cells failed to activate tyrosine kinases, or PLC as measured by mobilization of intracellular calcium. However, we show here that ligation of CD3 with CD4 leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC gamma 1 and elevation in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration in CD45- cells that is in excess of that seen in CD45+ cells. Since CD4 stimulation alone did not activate PLC, a component of the CD3 signaling pathway must be independent of CD45. Anti-CD4-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of CD4-associated lck was also enhanced in CD45- cells, suggesting that increased lck activation compensates for the defect in CD3/TcR signaling, such that interaction of the CD3 signaling pathway with the CD4-associated pathway activates PLC even in the absence of CD45. The data demonstrate that the requirement for CD45 in coupling CD3/TcR to the PI-PLC activation cascade is not absolute, but rather substantiates a role for CD45 in modifying molecular interactions that control T cell activation.

Stimulation of the signal transduction cascade in T cells through the T-cell receptor (CD3) coincides with activation of the phosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C (PI-PLC) pathway. activation of phospholipase C-gamma 1 (PLC gamma 1) occurs through tyrosine phosphorylation in T cells following surface ligation of CD3 receptors with CD3-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb). Here we show that cross-linking of CD4 molecules with CD3 augments the tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC gamma 1, while co-ligation of CD3 with CD45 (a receptor tyrosine phosphatase) results in reduced PLC gamma 1 tyrosine phosphorylation. Mobilization of intracellular calcium correlated with the extent of PLC gamma 1 tyrosine phosphorylation, indicating that PLC gamma 1 enzymatic activity in T cells may be regulated by its phosphorylation state. The time-course of PLC gamma 1 tyrosine phosphorylation in cells stimulated by soluble anti-CD3 was transient and closely paralleled that of calcium mobilization, while the kinetics in cells stimulated by immobilized anti-CD3 were prolonged. The PI-PLC pathway in T cells was not stimulated by tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC gamma 2, a homologue of PLC gamma 1, demonstrating the strict regulation of PLC gamma isoform usage in CD3-stimulated T cells. A 35,000/36,000 MW tyrosine phosphorylated protein in T cells formed stable complexes with PLC gamma 1, and its tyrosine phosphorylation was co-regulated with that of PLC gamma 1 by CD4 and CD45 receptors. Enzymatic activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC gamma 1 occurs during growth factor stimulation of fibroblasts, where PLC gamma 1 exists in multi-component complexes. The observation that PLC gamma 1 exists in complexes with unique tyrosine phosphorylated proteins in T cells suggests that haematopoietic lineage-specific proteins associated with PLC gamma 1 may play roles in cellular signalling.

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.

Cross-linking surface Ig on human B cells, or the TCR complex on T cells leads to the rapid appearance of newly tyrosine phosphorylated proteins. This is associated with inositol phospholipid turnover and a rise in intracellular calcium. Incubation of human B or T lymphocytes with the tyrosine kinase inhibitors, herbimycin and genistein, inhibits new tyrosine phosphorylation after receptor-linked activation. This is associated with complete abrogation of the increase in intracellular calcium in these lymphocytes and inhibition of inositol phospholipid turnover. Herbimycin- and genistein-treated lymphocytes are nevertheless still capable of responding to aluminum fluoride with a rise in intracellular calcium. These data support the contention that a B cell-associated protein tyrosine kinase regulates signal transduction via phospholipase C. CD45, the membrane associated protein tyrosine phosphatase, and PMA that activates protein kinase C, both inhibit the calcium response in B lymphocytes induced by receptor cross-linking. PMA and cross-linking CD45 both induced the appearance of tyrosine phosphorylated proteins in human B cells, although the pattern is quite distinct from that seen when surface lg is cross-linked. However, the induction of new tyrosine phosphorylation by anti-mu does not appear to be affected by these reagents. Although this may reflect an insensitivity of the tyrosine phosphorylation assay, it could indicate that regulation of the calcium response and regulation of the tyrosine kinase can be independent processes.

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 T cell antigen receptor (TCR) must recognize antigen, and translate this recognition event into intracellular signal transduction events. Two signal transduction events are regulated by the TCR: the activation of a protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) and phospholipase C (PLC). Recent studies suggest that the TCR-activated PTK regulates PLC activation by the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues of PLC gamma 1. The complex structure of the TCR is now being related to its signal transduction function. Studies with chimeric receptors reveal that the antigen binding Ti heterodimer communicates with the subunits involved with signal transduction, the CD3 chains and zeta dimers, through the carboxy-terminal regions of the Ti chains that surround and include the transmembrane domains. Other chimeras have helped demonstrate that the zeta chain family of dimers function to couple the TCR to intracellular signal transduction mechanisms. The signal transduction function of the TCR can be regulated in a number of ways and by other T cell surface molecules. The plasma membrane tyrosine phosphatase CD45, plays a critical role to specifically regulate TCR-mediated activation of PTK's and PLC. Thus, an understanding of the complex structure of the TCR and the intricacies of its signal transduction function is rapidly emerging.
