In untransformed T lymphocytes, pp19/cofilin, a cytoplasmic actin- binding protein, undergoes dephosphorylation and nuclear translocation in response to costimulation through accessory receptors (e.g., CD2), but not following TCR/CD3 triggering. In malignant T lymphoma cells, dephosphorylation and nuclear translocation of pp19/cofilin occur spontaneously through constitutive activation of a serine phosphatase. Blockade of these processes by the serine phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid leads to apoptosis. Moreover, lowering the intracellular pp19/cofilin concentrations by antisense-cofilin transfection results in reduced cloning efficiencies. These findings provide support for the view that pp19/cofilin plays a critical role in the growth and survival of both untransformed and malignant T lymphocytes.
