Stimulation of T cells through the CD3/T-cell receptor complex: role of cytoplasmic calcium, protein kinase C translocation, and phosphorylation of pp60c-src in the activation pathway.

ABSTRACT

Stimulation of T cells or the Jurkat T-cell line with soluble antibodies to the CD3/T-cell receptor complex causes mobilization of cytoplasmic Ca2+, which is blocked by pertussis toxin but not by ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, and translocation of protein kinase C activity from the cytoplasm to the membrane. Such stimulation also causes phosphorylation of pp60c-src at an amino-terminal serine residue. These activities are consistent with induction of phosphatidylinositol metabolism after antibody binding. Anti-CD3 stimulation with antibody in solution, however, does not cause Jurkat cells to release interleukin 2 and blocks rather than induces proliferation of T cells. Induction of interleukin 2 production by Jurkat cells and proliferation by normal T cells requires anti-CD3 stimulation with antibody on a solid support, such as Sepharose beads or a plastic dish. Thus, we examined phosphorylation of pp60c-src after stimulation of Jurkat cells with anti-CD3 in solution or on solid phase. Both of these caused serine phosphorylation of pp60c-src that was indistinguishable even after 4 h of stimulation. These results indicate that the mode of anti-CD3 stimulation (in solution or on solid phase) controls a cellular function that modifies the consequences of signal transduction through phosphatidylinositol turnover.
