CD30 is a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily and a surface marker for Hodgkin's disease. Normal activated T cells and several virally transformed T or B cell lines also show CD30 expression. The interaction of CD30 with its ligand induces cell death or proliferation, depending on the cell type. In this report we characterize the signals mediated by the intracellular domain of CD30 and show that, in combination with signal(s) transduced by the T cell receptor, the multimerization of CD30 cytoplasmic domain induces Fas(CD95)-independent cell death in T cell hybridomas. Deletion analysis shows that the COOH-terminal 66 amino acids of CD30 are required to induce cell death. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we have identified that the same region of CD30 interacts with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF)1 and TRAF2. These results indicate that TRAF1 and/or TRAF2 play an important role in cell death in addition to their previously identified roles in cell proliferation.

Inducible gene expression is primarily regulated at the level of transcription. Additional steps of “processing” pre-mRNA, involved in the regulation of induced gene expression, have not been previously reported. Here we report a novel mechanism of “activation-induced splicing” of preexisting tumor necrosis factor (TNF) message (pre-mRNA) in naive T lymphocytes after engagement of the T cell receptor (TCR), which still occurs after inhibition of transcription. Expression of TNF has been previously demonstrated to be regulated at both the transcriptional and translational levels. However, neither the large pool of TNF mRNA observed in activated T cells nor TNF protein production, which peaks very shortly after activation, can be solely attributed to increased transcription. Evidence is presented that activation-induced splicing of TNF pre-mRNA plays a significant role in the rapid production of TNF seen in activated T cells. Activation triggers processing of TNF pre-mRNA that has accumulated in naive T cells (before activation-induced transcription), and the mature TNF mRNA is translocated to the cytoplasm for rapid translation and protein production. This novel form of activation-induced splicing of TNF may allow T cells to mount an immediate response to activation stimuli under physiological conditions.

In this report, we show that ionizing radiation (IR) at a clinically relevant dose (4 Gy) causes apoptosis in macrovascular and microvascular human endothelial cells. Treatment of irradiated cells with a low dose of bacterial endotoxin (LPS), similar to the levels observed in serum during endotoxemia, enhanced the rate of apoptosis, although LPS alone was unable to induce programmed cell death. The cytokine and endotoxin antagonist interleukin-10 (IL-10) reduced the rate of LPS + IR-induced apoptosis to levels obtained with irradiation alone. Using neutralizing antibodies against tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF), we could show crucial involvement of TNF in the LPS- mediated enhancement of IR-induced apoptosis, but not in the IR-induced apoptosis per se. However, further analysis strongly suggested the transmembrane form of TNF (mTNF), but not soluble TNF, to be accountable for the LPS-mediated cytotoxic effects. Studies with anatagonistic receptor specific antibodies clearly showed that TNF receptor type I (TR60) is essential and sufficient to elicit this effect. These findings are of potential clinical importance because they may disclose a relevant mechanism that leads to endothelial damage after radiotherapy or total body irradiation used for conditioning in bone marrow transplantation and that may thus contribute to transplant related complications, especially in association with endotoxemia or related inflammatory states.

It has been proposed that ceramide acts as a cellular messenger to mediate tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced apoptosis. Based on this hypothesis, it was postulated that resistance of some cells to TNF-α cytotoxicity was due to an insufficient production of ceramide on stimulation by TNF-α. The present study was initiated to investigate whether this was the case in mesangial cells, which normally are insensitive to TNF-α-induced apoptosis. Our results indicate that although C2ceramide was toxic to mesangial cells, the cell death it induced differed both morphologically and biochemically from that induced by TNF-α in the presence of cycloheximide (CHX). The most apparent effect of C2ceramide was to cause cells to swell, followed by disruption of the cell membrane. It is evident that C2ceramide caused cell death by necrosis, whereas TNF-α in the presence of CHX killed the cells by apoptosis. C2ceramide did not mimic the effects of TNF-α on the activation of c-Jun NH2-terminal protein kinase and nuclear factor-κB transcription factor. Although mitogen-activated protein kinase [extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK)] was activated by both C2ceramide and TNF-α, such activation appeared to be mediated by different mechanisms as judged from the kinetics of ERK activation. Furthermore, the cleavage of cytosolic phospholipase A2during cell death induced by C2ceramide and by TNF-α in the presence of CHX showed distinctive patterns. The present study provides evidence that apoptosis and necrosis use distinctive signaling machinery to cause cell death.
