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.

Recent studies have shown that cell-surface integrins expressed on platelets, fibroblasts, or carcinoma cell lines serve not only as adhesion receptors that connect the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton, but also as signal-transducing molecules involved in altering cellular patterns of tyrosine phosphorylation. In this present report we provide evidence that adhesion of freshly purified human natural killer (NK) cells to fibronectin (FN) induces tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins of approximate molecular mass of 60, 70, and 120 kD. Increases in phosphorylation induced by NK cell binding to immobilized FN were partially blocked by EILDV- (CS-1) or RGD-containing peptides, which compete specifically for a distinct binding site for either alpha 4 beta 1 or alpha 5 beta 1 integrins, respectively, within the FN molecule. The presence of either one of the inhibitory peptides alone inhibited tyrosine phosphorylation primarily during short-term (30 minutes) and, to a lesser extent, during long-term (2 to 3 hours) periods of adhesion. These observations indicate that triggering either via alpha 4 beta 1 or alpha 5 beta 1 integrins, which are constitutively expressed on NK cells, induces protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Moreover, FN fragments of 40 or 120 kD, known to contain the binding sites for alpha 4 beta 1 or alpha 5 beta 1 integrins, respectively, used as immobilized substrates for NK cell adhesion, were able to initiate tyrosine kinase activity. The induced tyrosine phosphorylation was observed mainly on intracellular proteins of greater than 50 kD molecular weight. We have identified a 70-kD tyrosine phosphoprotein as paxillin, a cytoskeletal-associated tyrosine kinase substrate previously identified in fibroblasts and shown to localize to focal adhesions. Thus, interaction of NK cells with immobilized extracellular matrix glycoproteins required for migration and extravasation of these cells involves activation of intracellular protein tyrosine kinases and tyrosine phosphorylation of cytoskeleton-associated protein, paxillin, which may play a role in signaling between beta 1 integrins and the underlying cytoskeleton.

The molecular mechanisms whereby hyaluronan (HA) stimulates cell motility was investigated in a C-H-ras transformed 10T 1/2 fibroblast cell line (C3). A significant (p < 0.001) stimulation of C3 cell motility with HA (10 ng/ml) was accompanied by an increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation as detected by anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies using immunoblot analysis and immunofluorescence staining of cells. Tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins was found to be both rapid and transient with phosphorylation occurring within 1 min of HA addition and dissipating below control levels 10-15 min later. These responses were also elicited by an antibody generated against a peptide sequence within the HA receptor RHAMM. Treatment of cells with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (genistein, 10 micrograms/ml or herbimycin A, 0.5 micrograms/ml) or microinjection of anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies inhibited the transient protein tyrosine phosphorylation in response to HA as well as prevented HA stimulation of cell motility. To determine a link between HA-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and the resulting cell locomotion, cytoskeletal reorganization was examined in C3 cells plated on fibronectin and treated with HA or anti-RHAMM antibody. These agents caused a rapid assembly and disassembly of focal adhesions as revealed by immunofluorescent localization of vinculin. The time course with which HA and antibody induced focal adhesion turnover exactly paralleled the induction of transient protein tyrosine phosphorylation. In addition, phosphotyrosine staining colocalized with vinculin within structures in the lamellapodia of these cells. Notably, the focal adhesion kinase, pp125FAK, was rapidly phosphorylated and dephosphorylated after HA stimulation. These results suggest that HA stimulates locomotion via a rapid and transient protein tyrosine kinase signaling event mediated by RHAMM. They also provide a possible molecular basis for focal adhesion turnover, a process that is critical for cell locomotion.

Following our previous observation that haemin is mitogenic for human lymphocytes, we investigated the ability of haemin to enhance glucose uptake in these cells. We found that preincubation of human peripheral-blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with haemin for 60 min increased up to 5-fold the rate of 2-deoxy-D-[1-3H]glucose uptake by the cells. Actinomycin D and cycloheximide did not inhibit the effect, and cytochalasin B completely blocked it. Among the metalloporphyrins tested (Fe-, Ni-, Co-, Zn- and Sn-protoporphyrin), only haemin (Fe-protoporphyrin) induced a marked increase in glucose uptake. Thiourea, a scavenger of oxygen free radicals, and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole inhibited haemin-induced glucose uptake. Oxidants such as H2O2 and phenylarsine oxide were previously reported to stimulate protein tyrosine phosphorylation and to enhance glucose uptake. We found that incubation of PBMC with haemin resulted in an increase in protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity, probably that identified as CD45. Similarly to haemin, we found that phytohaemagglutinin also enhanced PTPase activity. Haemin also activated the tyrosine kinase p56lck, which is negatively controlled by phosphorylation of Tyr-505 at the C-terminus, and increased protein tyrosine phosphorylation in these cells. Tyrphostins, specific inhibitors of tyrosine kinases, at low concentrations markedly enhanced glucose uptake and synergized with haemin in enhancing glucose uptake. At high doses, tyrphostins inhibited the effect of haemin. Taken together, we postulate that haemin enhancement of glucose uptake in human lymphocytes results from its stimulation of PTPase, followed by activation of tyrosine kinase p56lck, leading to an increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation.

CD5 is a T-cell-specific antigen which binds to the B-cell antigen CD72 and acts as a coreceptor in the stimulation of T-cell growth. CD5 associates with the T-cell receptor zeta chain (TcR zeta)/CD3 complex and is rapidly phosphosphorylated on tyrosine residues as a result of TcR zeta/CD3 ligation. However, despite this, the mechanism by which CD5 generates intracellular signals is unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that CD5 is coupled to the protein-tyrosine kinase p56lck and can act as a substrate for p56lck. Coexpression of CD5 with p56lck in the baculovirus expression system resulted in the phosphorylation of CD5 on tyrosine residues. Further, anti-CD5 and anti-p56lck coprecipitated each other in a variety of detergents, including Nonidet P-40 and Triton X-100. Anti-CD5 also precipitated the kinase from various T cells irrespective of the expression of TcR zeta/CD3 or CD4. No binding between p59fyn(T) and CD5 was detected in T cells. The binding of p56lck to CD5 induced a 10- to 15-fold increase in p56lck catalytic activity, as measured by in vitro kinase analysis. In vivo labelling with 32P(i) also showed a four- to fivefold increase in Y-394 occupancy in p56lck when associated with CD5. The use of glutathione S-transferase-Lck fusion proteins in precipitation analysis showed that the SH2 domain of p56lck could recognize CD5 as expressed in the baculovirus expression system. CD5 interaction with p56lck represents a novel variant of a receptor-kinase complex in which receptor can also serve as substrate. The CD5-p56lck interaction is likely to play roles in T-cell signalling and T-B collaboration.

Abstract Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) exerts its biologic activities through binding to specific high-affinity cell surface receptors. After binding, the ligand/receptor complex is rapidly internalized in most hematopoietic cells. Using a human factor- dependent cell line, MO7, and normal human neutrophils, we found that the internalization is exquisitely temperature-dependent, such that ligand/receptor internalization does not detectably occur at 4 degrees C. Activation of the GM-CSF receptor has previously been shown to stimulate a number of postreceptor signal transduction pathways, including activation of a tyrosine kinase and activation of the serine/threonine kinase, Raf-1. The GM-CSF-stimulated increase in tyrosine kinase activity occurs rapidly at both 4 degrees C and 37 degrees C, and therefore is likely to be independent of receptor internalization. At 37 degrees C, the protein tyrosine phosphorylation was transient in MO7 cells, with maximum phosphorylation observed after 5 to 15 minutes, followed by a rapid decline. At 4 degrees C, the protein tyrosine phosphorylation of the same substrates was greater than at 37 degrees C, and no decline in substrate phosphorylation was observed for at least 90 minutes. In contrast to tyrosine phosphorylation, the activation and hyper-phosphorylation of Raf-1 observed at 37 degrees C in both MO7 cells and neutrophils was markedly diminished at 4 degrees C. These results indicate that at least one postreceptor signal transduction mechanism, activation of a tyrosine kinase, does not require ligand/receptor internalization, and indicate that receptor internalization may be a consequence, rather than the initiator, of signal transduction.

Proinflammatory cytokines initiate the vascular inflammatory response via the upregulation of adhesion molecules on the luminal endothelial surface. We investigated directly the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in the upregulation of the endothelial adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin, and the consequent adhesion of neutrophils, after tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-stimulation of human aortic endothelial cells in vitro. Time- and dose-dependent TNF-α-stimulated ICAM-1 and E-selectin upregulation and neutrophil adhesion each were suppressed by tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including genistein (200 μM), but not genistin, its isoflavone analog without tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity. Tyrphostin AG 126, a synthetic selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor, also suppressed ICAM-1 and E-selectin upregulation and neutrophil adhesion, each in a dose-dependent manner, whereas tyrphostin AG 1288 had no effect. Tyrosine phosphorylation of two proteins (85 and 145 kDa in the cytoskeleton fraction) found minutes after TNF-α-stimulation was also inhibited by genistein. These findings suggest that, in endothelial cells, TNF-α upregulates ICAM-1 and E-selectin expression and consequent neutrophil adhesion via protein tyrosine phosphorylation.
