Release in Human NK Cells Involves Distinct Pathways1
Department of Molecular Biology and Immunology and Institute for Cancer Research, University of North Texas Health Science Center, Fort Worth, TX 76107
2B4 (CD244), a member of the CD2 subset of the Ig superfamily
receptors, is expressed on all human NK cells, a subpopulation of T
cells, basophils and monocytes. 2B4 activates NK cell mediated
cytotoxicity, induces secretion of IFN-
and matrix
metalloproteinases, and NK cell invasiveness. Although there has been
several molecules shown to interact with 2B4, the signaling mechanism
of 2B4-mediated activation of NK cells is still unknown. In this study,
we found cross-linking of 2B4 on YT cells, a human NK cell line,
results in the increased DNA binding activity of activator protein-1
(AP-1), an important regulator of nuclear gene expression in
leukocytes. We investigated the possible role of various signaling
molecules that may be involved in the activation of lytic function of
YT cells via 2B4. Treatment of YT cells with various specific
inhibitors indicate that 2B4-stimulation of YT cells in spontaneous and
Ab-dependent cytotoxicity is Ras/Raf dependent and involves multiple
MAPK signaling pathways (ERK1/2 and p38). However, only inhibitors of
transcription and p38 inhibited 2B4-mediated IFN-
release indicating
distinct pathways are involved in cytotoxicity and cytokine release. In
this study we also show that 2B4 constitutively associates with the
linker for activation of T cells (LAT) and that 2B4 may mediate NK cell
activation via a LAT-dependent signaling pathway. These results
indicate that 2B4-mediated activation of NK cells involves complex
interactions involving LAT, Ras, Raf, ERK and p38 and that cytolytic
function and cytokine production may be regulated by distinct
pathways.
