The haematopoietic protein, p95vav, has been shown to be a tyrosine kinase substrate and to have tyrosine kinase-modulated guanine-nucleotide-releasing-factor activity. This implies a function in the control of ras or ras-like proteins. Because ras activation has been shown to be a downstream event following stimulation of the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor, we investigated the possibility that vav was involved in IL-2 signal transduction pathways, using human T cells as a model. We found rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of vav in response to IL-2 within 1 min, with maximum increase of phosphorylation of 5-fold occurring by 5 min after treatment in normal human T cells. IL-2 stimulation of the human T-cell line YT and a subclone of the YT cell line (YTlck-) that does not express message for the src-family kinase p56lck also results in a rapid rate of tyrosine phosphorylation of vav of more than 5-fold by 5 min. These results suggest that vav may play an important role in IL-2-stimulated signal transduction and that there is not a strict requirement for the tyrosine kinase p56lck.

Human T Cells

CD28 is an adhesion receptor expressed as a 44-kD dimer on the surface of a major subset of human T cells. The CD28 receptor regulates the production of multiple lymphokines, including interleukin 2 (IL-2), by activation of a signal transduction pathway that is poorly understood. Here we show that ligation of CD28 by a monoclonal antibody (mAb) or by a natural ligand, B7/BB1, induces protein tyrosine phosphorylation that is distinct from T cell receptor (TCR)-induced tyrosine phosphorylation. CD28-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylation was greatly enhanced in cells that had been preactivated by ligation of the TCR, or by pretreatment with phorbol esters. Rapid and prolonged tyrosine phosphorylation of a single substrate, pp100, was induced in T cells after interaction with B7/BB1 presented on transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Anti-B7 mAb inhibited B7/BB1 receptor-induced tyrosine phosphorylation, indicating that B7-CD28 interaction was required. CD28-induced tyrosine phosphorylation was independent of the TCR because it occurred in a variant of the Jurkat T cell line that does not express the TCR. Herbimycin A, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, could prevent CD28-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and CD28-induced IL-2 production in normal T cells. The simultaneous crosslinking of CD28 and CD45, a tyrosine phosphatase, could prevent tyrosine phosphorylation of pp100. These results suggest that specific tyrosine phosphorylation, particularly of pp100, occurs directly as a result of CD28 ligand binding and is involved in transducing the signal delivered through CD28 by accessory cells that express the B7/BB1 receptor. Thus, this particular form of signal transduction may be relevant to lymphokine production and, potentially may provide a means to study the induction of self-tolerance, given the putative role of the costimulatory signal in the induction of T cell activation or anergy.

Binding Avidity

We present evidence that direct T cell receptor (TCR) occupancy by antigen can either activate or inhibit T cells, depending upon whether or not a threshold number of local TCRs are crosslinked by multivalent arrays of the antigen. Variants of Jurkat cells were previously transfected with TCR alpha and beta chains that bind fluorescein, yielding FL-TCR+ human T cells. The transfectants are activated upon binding soluble multivalent antigen arrays at concentrations well below those required for monovalent interactions. This activation, measured by calcium fluxes and interleukin 2 (IL-2) production, indicates the superior binding avidity of multivalent ligands. Smaller, less multivalent arrays do not activate the cells, but antagonize larger arrays, demonstrating that antigen can bind TCR as either agonist or antagonist. The balance between activation and inhibition depends upon antigen array size, ligand valence, and concentration, indicating that a threshold extent of receptor crosslinking, and not individual perturbations of single TCR, is required for activation by antigen. Approximately 100 stimulatory arrays specifically bind per FL-TCR+ cell at concentrations where IL-2 production is half-maximal.

We demonstrate an example of signal transduction by an integrin and have begun to define the pathway through which this signaling is achieved. We constructed a stably transfected derivative of 293 cells (ATCC 1573) that expresses the platelet integrin GPIIbIIIa (alpha IIb beta 3). This cell line, clone B, adheres to and spreads on fibrinogen, a ligand for alpha IIb beta 3, while the parent cell line does not. Stimulation of these cells either by adhesion to fibrinogen or with antiserum directed against alpha IIb beta 3 results in induction of calcium oscillations, followed by tyrosine phosphorylation of at least one protein of molecular weight approximately 125 kDa. We establish that this phosphorylation, as well as the morphological rearrangements, requires the mobilization of calcium.

Human T cell hybrids were generated by fusing lectin-activated normal and leukemic human T cells with an aminopterin-sensitive human T cell line. This mutant cell line, designated CEM-T15, was derived from the human T cell line CEM after chemical mutagenesis with ethane methylsulfonate and subsequent culture in medium containing 6-thioguanine. After polyethylene glycol-induced fusion, the cells were cultured in hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine selective medium. More than 5 wk after fusion, evidence for successful hybridization was obtained by three independent criteria: (a) The majority of the cultures contained cells expressing the OKT3 surface antigen: this antigen is expressed on normal T cells but not on CEM-T15 cells. (b) Most of the cultures contained polyploid cells. (c) Some of the cultures provided helper activity in the generation of antibody-forming cells. This functional activity is absent from the CEM-T15 parental cell line. Evidence for functional stability of the hybrids greater than 20 wk after fusion was provided by several clones that not only continue growing exponentially but also maintain expression of OKT3 surface antigen and high levels of helper function. These T cell hybrids constructed using antigen-specific human T cells should be of considerable importance in further studies of the immunobiology of human T cells.

ABSTRACT Persistent colonization of the human stomach by Helicobacter pylori is a risk factor for the development of gastric cancer and peptic ulcer disease. H. pylori secretes a toxin, VacA, that targets human gastric epithelial cells and T lymphocytes and enhances the ability of H. pylori to colonize the stomach in a mouse model. To examine how VacA contributes to H. pylori colonization of the mouse stomach, we investigated whether murine T lymphocytes were susceptible to VacA activity. VacA inhibited interleukin-2 (IL-2) production by a murine T-cell line (LBRM-33), similar to its effects on a human T-cell line (Jurkat), but did not inhibit IL-2 production by primary murine splenocytes or CD4+ T cells. VacA inhibited activation-induced proliferation of primary human CD4+ T cells but did not inhibit the proliferation of primary murine CD4+ T cells. Flow cytometry studies indicated that the levels of VacA binding to primary murine CD4+ T cells were significantly lower than levels of VacA binding to human CD4+ T cells. This suggests that the resistance of primary murine CD4+ T cells to VacA is attributable, at least in part, to impaired VacA binding to these cells.

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.
