Aggregation of the high affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon RI) on the surface of mast cells results in the rapid hydrolysis of membrane inositol phospholipids by phospholipase C (PLC). Although at least seven isoenzymes of PLC have been characterized in different mammalian cells, the isoenzyme involved in Fc epsilon RI-mediated signal transduction and the mechanism of its activation have not been demonstrated. We now report that PLC-gamma 1 is translocated to the membrane of mast cells after aggregation of Fc epsilon RI. Activation of rat basophilic leukemia cells, a rat mast cell line, with oligomeric IgE resulted in an increase in PLC activity in washed membrane preparations in a cell free assay containing exogenous [3H]phosphatidylinositol (PI). The increase in PLC activity has the same dose-response to oligomeric IgE as receptor mediated hydrolysis of inositol lipids (PI hydrolysis) in intact cells. Analysis by Western blot probed with anti-PLC-gamma 1 antibody revealed that there is a three- to fourfold increase in PLC-gamma 1 in membranes from activated cells. The increase in PLC activity is augmented a further 20% by the addition of orthovanadate to the incubation medium suggesting that a tyrosine phosphatase is involved in the down-regulation of this phenomenon. These findings demonstrate translocation of PLC-gamma 1 to the membrane following activation of a receptor which does not contain intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. Activation of PLC-gamma 1 by this pathway may account for Fc epsilon RI-mediated PI hydrolysis.

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.

Pharmacologic differentiation of the promyelocytic leukemia HL60 is associated with an increase in cellular tyrosine phosphatase activity. We asked (a) if this increase might, at least in part, be due to changes in a transmembranous protein-tyrosine phosphatase, CD45; and (b) if CD45 changes similarly in other differentiating leukemias. Differentiation of HL60, several chronic myelogenous leukemias, a monocytic leukemia (THP-1), and a monoblastoid leukemia (U-937) could be induced by phorbol ester, 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3, dimethyl sulfoxide, or cyclic AMP analogues. This differentiation was associated with a marked increase in (a) total cellular tyrosine phosphatase activity (2-4-fold as measured by the ability to dephosphorylate a tyrosine-phosphorylated peptide); (b) CD45-specific tyrosine phosphatase activity (2-4-fold); (c) CD45 cell surface expression by flow cytometry (2-5-fold); (d) synthesis of both exon B-dependent M(r) 205,000 and exon ABC- M(r) 185,000 CD45 proteins, as revealed by immunoprecipitation with antisera specific for CD45 isoforms. Both isoforms have enhanced electrophoretic mobility when isolated from the differentiated cells. This enhanced mobility did not appear to be due to decreased stoichiometry of CD45 phosphorylation on serine/threonine residues. Interestingly, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate transiently reduced CD45 protein-tyrosine phosphatase activity in the chronic myelogenous leukemia cell RWLeu4 without altering the CD45 amount (as measured by cell surface immunofluorescence). Modulation of CD45 tyrosine phosphatase activity (and protein levels) may play a role in differentiation or in maintaining cells in a nonproliferative state or may represent a phenotypic marker of differentiation.

We have used panels of somatic cell hybrids and fluorescent in situ hybridization to determine the chromosomal localization of the novel nontransmembrane tyrosine phosphatase PTPN6 (protein tyrosine phosphatase, nonreceptor type 6), which contains two SH2 domains. PTPN6 maps to 12p13, a region commonly involved in leukemia-associated chromosomal abnormalities. Since PTPN6 is expressed at high levels in hematopoietic cells of all lineages and its expression is induced early in hematopoietic differentiation, altered expression and/or structure of PTPN6 may play a role in leukemogenesis.

gamma RF-1 is a recently identified transcription factor induced by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) which binds to a unique palindromic enhancer, gamma RE-1, in the promoter of the mig gene. This paper describes the ligand-dependent and ligand-independent activation of gamma RF-1 in a cell-free system. gamma RF-1 activity was induced by IFN-gamma in a time-dependent manner from 5 to 60 min in lysates prepared from the human monocytic leukaemia line THP-1 and the human epidermoid carcinoma line A431. The activation of gamma RF-1 in vitro required both ATP and an inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatases (sodium orthovanadate or pervanadate). In the presence of limiting concentrations (micromolar) of ATP, activation was also dependent upon stimulation with IFN-gamma, whereas at millimolar concentrations of ATP, gamma RF-1 was activated by either sodium orthovanadate or pervanadate in the absence of ligand. Based on cell fractionation studies, both membrane and cytosol components were essential for activation of gamma RF-1 in vitro. Consistent with a role for one or more tyrosine kinases in the activation of gamma RF-1, its DNA binding activity was blocked by monoclonal anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies and by the tyrosine kinase inhibitors genistein, lavendustin A and herbimycin A. A comparison with recently described pathways of IFN-mediated transcription factor regulation indicates that the in vitro activation of gamma RF-1 is unique, requiring both membrane and cytosol fractions and inhibition of endogenous tyrosine phosphatase activity.

The cDNA encoding the rat equivalent of the human hematopoietic tyrosine phosphatase, also known as leukocyte phosphatase, was isolated from a rat basophilic leukemia mast cell cDNA library. By two-dimensional electrophoresis, the protein expressed in the mast cells was of a size (40 kDa) and pI (6.9) predicted from the deduced amino acid sequence. Thus, although previously shown to be preferentially expressed in T cells and B cells, the phosphatase is also found in mast cells. By immunofluorescence microscopy, rat hematopoietic tyrosine phosphatase localized to discrete, globular compartments within the cytoplasm and was not found either in the nucleus or associated with the cell surface membrane. Aggregation of high affinity IgE receptors in the mast cells induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the phosphatase. The tyrosine phosphorylation was mimicked by stimulation with calcium ionophore A23187 but not by direct activation of protein kinase C. Since phosphorylation of the phosphatase was dramatically reduced when the cells were activated in Ca(2+)-free media, it is dependent on a rise in intracellular Ca2+. These data strongly suggest that hematopoietic tyrosine phosphatase may be involved in the IgE receptor-mediated signaling cascade.

Cell surface proteins of the transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) are a newly characterized family of proteins which are presumed to span the plasma membrane four times. The function of this family of molecules is poorly understood, but based on monoclonal antibody studies there is some evidence that they may be involved in transmembrane signal transduction and regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, or both, in a number of different cell types. CD53 is a member of this family that is expressed on leukocytes, and transduces activation signals through unknown mechanisms that may involve phosphorylation events. However, CD53 has never been shown to associate directly with kinases. Here, we show by immunoprecipitation from cell lysates of lymph nodes and a thymoma cell line, that immune complexes of rat CD53 contain tyrosine phosphatase activity. The CD53-associated phosphatase was able to dephosphorylate in vitro the phosphorylated tyrosine kinase Lck, as well as a synthetic substrate, and its activity was abrogated by a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor. Although its identity has not been established, it is clear from depletion experiments that it is not CD45. CD63, a second member of the TM4SF, also co-precipitates a phosphatase activity from rat basophilic leukemia cells. These results demonstrate that the TM4SF members associate with tyrosine phosphatases. It seems possible that such associated phosphatases may contribute to the signal transduction capacity of TM4SF molecules.

Rapid activation of phospholipase C (PLC) with a resultant increase in phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis occurs after aggregation of the high affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon RI) on the surface of mast cells. We previously described an increase in PLC activity associated with the particulate fraction of rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells after Fc epsilon RI aggregation, and this redistribution of enzyme activity correlated with an increase in immunoreactivity of the gamma 1 isozyme of PLC in the particulate fraction by Western blot analysis (J. Immunol. 148:2194-2200, 1992). We now report that the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor orthovanadate mimics Fc epsilon RI-mediated activation of PLC-gamma 1 in RBL cells after permeabilization with Staphylococcus aureus alpha-toxin. Orthovanadate treatment of permeabilized cells induced: 1) a large increase in phosphoinositide hydrolysis in endogenously labeled cells; 2) an increase in PLC activity associated with the particulate fraction; and 3) an increase in immunoreactivity of PLC-gamma 1 in Western blots of the particulate fraction. In addition, incubation of RBL cells with either oligomeric IgE or orthovanadate results in the translocation of PLC-gamma 2 from the cytosol to the particulate fraction. All of the above effects were qualitatively similar to those seen after Fc epsilon RI aggregation. These data suggest that translocation and activation of PLC in mast cells are controlled by tyrosine phosphorylation of either the enzyme itself or some regulatory component. The equilibrium can be shifted to the phosphorylated state during either receptor-mediated activation of a tyrosine kinase or by blockade of dephosphorylation.

Previously, we cloned two gene fragments encoding novel protein tyrosine phosphatases, termed PTP-U1 and PTP-U2. Here, we report the full-length sequence, expression, and chromosomal localization of the PTP-U2 gene. The cDNA for PTP-U2, which was obtained from a human normal kidney library, predicts a protein of 1216 amino acids, -140 kDa, that contains a single transmembrane domain and a single intracellular catalytic domain. The extracellular domain of PTP-U2 contains 14 putative N-glycosylation sites and eight repeats of fibronectin type III-like motif. These data suggest that PTP-U2 is structurally similar to HPTP beta and DPTP10D, which have been reported previously. Northern blot analysis revealed that there were two different transcripts for PTP-U2. In kidney and brain, gene expression of PTP-U2 was detected as a 5.4 kb mRNA and in lung and placenta as 3.5 kb. The 3.5 kb transcript was also detected in human leukemia cell lines (eg., U937). Interestingly, its gene expression was enhanced by various differentiation-inducing agents, such as phorbol ester, dihydroxy vitamin D3, retinoic acid, and dimethyl sulfoxide. The bacterially expressed PTP-U2 fusion protein exhibited intrinsic tyrosine phosphatase activity. The PTP-U2 gene was assigned to chromosome 12p13.2-p13.3.

Experimental evidence suggests that hematopoietic growth factors promote cell survival by suppressing apoptosis or programmed cell death. Since interleukin 3 (IL-3) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) induce tyrosine phosphorylation of a common set of proteins in the factor-dependent cell line M07e, we have investigated whether growth-factor-induced tyrosine phosphorylation is involved in the promotion of cell survival and suppression of apoptosis. Experiments were carried out with the leukemic cell lines HL-60 and M07e and the tyrosine kinase inhibitors genistein and tyrphostin AG82. Both the tyrosine kinase inhibitors induced apoptosis of HL-60 and M07e cells. This was indicated by the appearance of DNA degradation and morphologic evidence of nuclear condensation and fragmentation. It was also confirmed by flow cytometry of DNA, which showed apoptotic cells as a fraction of cells characterized by a diminished DNA stainability, represented on the DNA frequency histograms as a distinct peak below the G0/G1 population. Kinase inhibitors also reduced the fraction of cells in the S phase of the cell cycle. That tyrphostin specifically inhibited tyrosine kinases was further suggested by the prevention of its effects by the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor sodium orthovanadate (vanadate), at least during the first 18-24 h of treatment. The incomplete prevention of genistein effects by vanadate suggests that genistein is a less specific inhibitor of tyrosine kinases than tyrphostin, and may also act as an inhibitor of topoisomerase II. Vanadate also prevented apoptosis and reduction of the S phase in M07e cells cultured for 24 h in the absence of growth factors. These results suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation is an essential step in IL-3 and GM-CSF signal transduction. Since in our experimental model the effects of tyrosine kinase inhibition and growth factor deprivation could be reversed by concomitant inhibition of tyrosine phosphatases, it is suggested that a balance between tyrosine kinases and tyrosine phosphatases establishes whether a cell will survive or undergo apoptosis.
