Proliferative signaling by the IL-2R can occur through two distinct pathways, one mediated by Stat5 and one by the adaptor protein Shc. Although Stat5 induces T cell proliferation by serving as a transcription factor, the mechanism of proliferative signaling by Shc is poorly defined. We examined the roles of two major signaling pathways downstream of Shc, the p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (extracellular signal-related kinase (Erk)) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways, in promitogenic gene induction and proliferation in the IL-2-dependent T cell line CTLL-2. Using IL-2R mutants and specific pharmacologic inhibitors, we found that the PI3K, but not Erk, pathway is required for maximal induction of c-myc, cyclin D2, cyclin D3, cyclin E, and bcl-xL by Shc. To test whether the PI3K pathway is sufficient for proliferative signaling, a tamoxifen-regulated form of PI3K (mp110*ER) was expressed in CTLL-2 cells. Activation of the PI3K pathway through mp110*ER failed to up-regulate expression of the c-myc, cyclin D2, cyclin D3, cyclin E, bcl-2, or bcl-xL genes or down-regulate expression of p27Kip1, even when coactivated with the Janus kinases (Jak) or the Raf/Erk pathway. Moreover, mp110*ER induced modest levels of thymidine incorporation without subsequent cell division. Although insufficient for mitogenesis, mp110*ER enhanced Stat5-mediated proliferative signaling through a mechanism independent of Stat5 transcriptional activity. Thus, in addition to serving a necessary, but insufficient role in Shc-mediated promitogenic gene expression, the PI3K pathway contributes to T cell proliferation by potentiating mitogenic signaling by Stat5.
