IL-2, first identified as a T cell growth factor, has been proven to activate many cell types including polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN3). However, the mechanisms involved in PMN activation, especially the signaling pathways used by the IL-2R, are currently unknown. Here we demonstrate that IL-2 has the ability to induce protein tyrosine kinases in human PMN, and we provide the first evidence that lyn kinase is activated and physically associated with MAP kinase/ERK1. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments with anti-IL-2Rbeta and Western blotting with anti-p53/56lym revealed that lyn protein was present in IL-2R precipitates and that the association of lyn with IL-2Rbeta was markedly elevated by IL-2 stimulation. Furthermore the activity of lyn kinase, evaluated by an in vitro kinase assay with enolase as a substrate, increased following IL-2 stimulation. Another important finding was that, upon IL-2 activation, MAPK/ERK1 was also phosphorylated in PMN. A direct association between lyn and ERK1 was initially demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation/Western blotting and then definitively proven by the use of a GST-ERK1 fusion protein. We showed that ERK1 binds lyn only in IL-2 stimulated PMN, but not in unstimulated PMN. These results suggest that IL-2 can promote the association of lyn protein tyrosine kinase with IL-2Rbeta as well as the direct binding of MAPK/ERK1 to lyn. The signaling pathway utilized by human PMN in response to IL-2 may thus involve the association of lyn with IL-2Rbeta and the activation process also triggers the recruitment and activation of a specific ERK. 相似文献

Inhibition of STAT3 signaling leads to apoptosis of leukemic large granular lymphocytes and decreased Mcl-1 expression 总被引:37,自引:0,他引:37 下载免费PDF全文

Altered expression of the Fas-Fas ligand apoptotic pathway leads to lymphoproliferative and autoimmune diseases. In lpr/lpr mice and children with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, defective apoptosis is due to Fas mutations. Large granular lymphocyte (LGL) leukemia is a clonal lymphoproliferative disorder associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Leukemic LGLs are resistant to Fas-dependent apoptosis despite expressing high levels of Fas. Such resistance can be overcome by activating leukemic LGLs in vitro, suggesting inhibition of Fas signaling in leukemic cells. We report that sera from patients with LGL leukemia contain high levels of soluble Fas. Ten of these 33 patients with LGL leukemia also had rheumatoid arthritis. Cloning and sequencing revealed expression of multiple Fas messenger RNA variants in leukemic LGL. These Fas variants, including 3 newly described here, encode soluble Fas molecules. Supernatants from cells transfected with these Fas variants blocked Fas-dependent apoptosis of leukemic LGLs. These results suggest that blockade of Fas-signaling by soluble Fas may be a mechanism leading to apoptosis resistance in leukemic LGLs. 相似文献

We have previously established that human polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) express IL-2Rβ- and γ-chains and that addition of IL-2 maintains the viability of PMN by preventing these cells from undergoing programmed cell death. The purpose of this study was to examine whether IL-2-releasing tumor cells are capable of stimulating PMN tumoricidal activity. We therefore investigated the ability of PMN to kill IL-2-transfected tumor cells using normal human PMN directed against the murine mammary adenocarcinoma TS/A engineered to release high amounts of murine IL-2 (3,600 U, B6) compared with TS/A parental cells and TS/A tumor cells transfected with the neomycin-resistance (NEO) gene only. The potency of PMN as IL-2-induced killer cells was indicated by the low number of cells required for killing (effector cell:target cell ratio 10:1) and the degree of tumor cell lysis (68 ± 10%). Evidence for the role of IL-2 as a mediator of tumor cytotoxicity by PMN was substantiated by inhibition of tumor killing with anti-IL-2 and anti-IL-2Rβ monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Furthermore, in vivo depletion of mature granulocytes using MAb RB6-8C5 resulted in B6 adenocarcinoma growth, thereby confirming a direct role for IL-2-activated PMN in tumor cytolysis. Lastly, we suggest that one possible mechanism involved in IL-2-induced PMN cytotoxicity against the B6 clone occurs via the nitric oxide pathway, which could be inhibited upon addition of the arginine analog, NG-monomethyl-L -arginine. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献
