Inhibition of T Cell Activation by Pharmacologic Disruption of the MEK1/ERK MAP Kinase or Calcineurin Signaling Pathways Results in Differential Modulation of Cytokine Production

Productive T cell activation leading to cytokine secretion requires the cooperation of multiple signaling pathways coupled to the TCR and to costimulatory molecules such as CD28. Here, we utilized two pharmacophores, PD98059 and FK506, that inhibit, respectively, mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase 1 (MEK 1) and calcineurin, to determine the relative role of the signaling pathways controlled by these enzymes in T cell activation. Although the two compounds had distinctive effects on CD69 induction, they both suppressed T cell proliferation induced by anti-CD3 mAb, in a manner reversible by exogenous IL-2, suggesting that PD98059, like FK506, affects the production of, rather than the responsiveness to growth-promoting cytokines. Accordingly, IL-2 production by T cells stimulated with anti-CD3 mAb in conjunction with PMA or with anti-CD28 mAb was inhibited by both compounds. However, these compounds differentially affected the production of other cytokines, depending on the mode of activation. PD98059 inhibited TNF-{alpha}, IL-3, granulocyte-macrophage (GM)-CSF, IFN-{gamma}, and to a lesser extent IL-6 and IL-10 production but enhanced IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 production induced by CD3/PMA or CD3/CD28. FK506 suppressed CD3/PMA-induced production of all cytokines examined here but to a lesser extent IL-13. FK506 also reduced CD3/CD28-induced production of IL-3, IL-4, IL-10, TNF-{alpha}, and IL-6 but augmented that of GM-CSF, IL-5, IFN-{gamma}, and IL-13. Therefore, the biochemical targets of PD98059 and FK506 contribute differently to the production of various cytokines by T cells, which may have implications for the therapeutic manipulation of this production.
