Signaling Alterations in Activation-Induced Nonresponsive CD8 T Cells1

Costimulation-dependent production and autocrine use of IL-2 by activated CD8 T cells results in initial clonal expansion, but this is transient. The cells quickly become anergic, unable to produce IL-2 in response to Ag and costimulation, irrespective of the form of costimulation. This activation-induced non-responsiveness (AINR) differs from "classical" anergy in that it results despite the cells receiving both signal 1 and signal 2. AINR cells can still proliferate in response to exogenous IL-2, but can no longer produce it. Other TCR-mediated events including cytolytic function and IFN-{gamma} production are not affected in the AINR state. To characterize the mechanism(s) responsible for lack of IL-2 production in CD8 T cells in the AINR state, microspheres bearing immobilized anti-TCR Abs or peptide-MHC complexes, B7-1, and ICAM-1 were used to provide well-defined stimuli to the cells. Comparison of normal and AINR cells revealed that in AINR cells extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) is upregulated more transiently, Janus kinase activation is substantially reduced, and activation of p38 is eliminated. PMA and ionomycin restored proliferation and IL-2 production in AINR cells, indicating a signaling defect upstream of Ras and protein kinase C. Inhibitors of ERK (PD98059) and of p38 kinase (SB202190) blocked IL-2 mRNA expression and proliferation of both peptide-MHC/B7-1/ICAM-1-stimulated normal cells and PMA/ionomycin-stimulated AINR cells. Together these results demonstrate that activation of at least ERK and p38 is essential for IL-2 production by CD8 T cells and that up-regulation of these mitogen-activated protein kinases, along with Janus kinase, is defective in AINR cells.
