p38{alpha} Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Is Activated by CD28-Mediated Signaling and Is Required for IL-4 Production by Human CD4+CD45RO+ T Cells and Th2 Effector Cells1

T cell proliferation and cytokine production usually require stimulation via both the TCR/CD3 complex and the CD28 costimulatory receptor. Using purified human CD4+ peripheral blood T cells, we show that CD28 stimulation alone activates p38{alpha} mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38{alpha}). Cell proliferation induced by CD28 stimulation alone, a response attributed to CD4+CD45RO+ memory T cells, was blocked by the highly specific p38 inhibitors SB 203580 (IC50 = 10–80 nM) and RWJ 67657 (IC50 = 0.5–4 nM). In contrast, proliferation induced by anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 mAbs was not blocked. Inhibitors of p38 also blocked CD4+ T cell production of IL-4 (SB 203580 IC50 = 20–100 nM), but not IL-2, in response to CD3 and CD28 stimulation. IL-5, TNF-{alpha}, and IFN-{gamma} production were also inhibited, but to a lesser degree than IL-4. IL-4 production was attributed to CD4+CD45RO+ T cells, and its induction was suppressed by p38 inhibitors at the mRNA level. In polarized Th1 and Th2 cell lines, SB 203580 strongly inhibited IL-4 production by Th2 cells (IC50 = 10–80 nM), but only partially inhibited IFN-{gamma} and IL-2 production by Th1 cells (<50% inhibition at 1 µM). In both Th1 and Th2 cells, CD28 signaling activated p38{alpha} and was required for cytokine production. These results show that p38{alpha} plays an important role in some, but not all, CD28-dependent cellular responses. Its preferential involvement in IL-4 production by CD4+CD45RO+ T cells and Th2 effector cells suggests that p38{alpha} may be important in the generation of Th2-type responses in humans.
