In this paper, the effects of ß-galactoside binding protein
(ßGBP), the LGALS1 gene product, on the cell cycle
progression and expansion of activated human T lymphocytes were
studied. ßGBP drastically inhibits the IL-2 induced proliferation of
PHA-activated T lymphocytes as well as the IL-2 independent
proliferation of malignant T lymphocytes by arresting them in the S and
G2/M phases of the cell cycle. In addition, ßGBP
up-regulates the expression of both the
- and the ß-chains of the
IFN-
R on activated T lymphocyte membrane. None of these effects
depend on sugar binding: saturating amounts of lactose do not affect
the cell cycle block nor IFN-
R up-modulation. The increased
expression of both chains renders ßGBP-treated T lymphoblasts
sensitive to IFN-
-induced apoptosis. Taken as a whole, these
findings suggest that ßGBP plays an important immunoregulatory role
by switching off T lymphocyte effector functions. They also provide the
first evidence of up-modulation of IFN-
R expression on T lymphocytes
by a negative cell growth regulator.
