Abstract
Anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL) encompass several distinct subtypes of mature T-cell neoplasms that are unified by the expression of CD30 and anaplastic cytomorphology. Identification of the cytogenetic abnormality t(2;5)(p23;q35) led to the subclassification of ALCLs into ALK+ ALCL and ALK- ALCL. According to the most recent World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumours as well as the International Consensus Classification (ICC) of Mature Lymphoid Neoplasms, ALCLs encompass ALK+ ALCL, ALK- ALCL, and breast implant-associated ALCL (BI-ALCL). Approximately 80% of systemic ALCLs harbor rearrangement of ALK, with NPM1 being the most common partner gene, although many other fusion partner genes have been identified to date. ALK- ALCLs represent a heterogeneous group of lymphomas with distinct clinical, immunophenotypic, and genetic features. A subset harbor recurrent rearrangement of genes, including TYK2, DUSP22, and TP63, with a proportion for which genetic aberrations have yet to be characterized. Although primary cutaneous ALCL (pc-ALCL) is currently classified as a subtype of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, due to the large anaplastic and pleomorphic morphology together with CD30 expression in the malignant cells, this review also discusses the pathobiological features of this disease entity. Genomic and proteomic studies have contributed significant knowledge elucidating novel signaling pathways that are implicated in ALCL pathogenesis and represent candidate targets of therapeutic interventions. This review aims to offer perspectives on recent insights regarding the pathobiological and genetic features of ALCL.

Abstract
T cells play a critical role in cancer control, but a range of potent immunosuppressive mechanisms can be upregulated in the tumor microenvironment (TME) to abrogate their activity. While various immunotherapies (IMTs) aiming at re-invigorating the T-cell-mediated anti-tumor response, such as immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), and the adoptive cell transfer (ACT) of natural or gene-engineered ex vivo expanded tumor-specific T cells, have led to unprecedented clinical responses, only a small proportion of cancer patients benefit from these treatments. Important research efforts are thus underway to identify biomarkers of response, as well as to develop personalized combinatorial approaches that can target other inhibitory mechanisms at play in the TME. In recent years, adenosinergic signaling has emerged as a powerful immuno-metabolic checkpoint in tumors. Like several other barriers in the TME, such as the PD-1/PDL-1 axis, CTLA-4, and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO-1), adenosine plays important physiologic roles, but has been co-opted by tumors to promote their growth and impair immunity. Several agents counteracting the adenosine axis have been developed, and pre-clinical studies have demonstrated important anti-tumor activity, alone and in combination with other IMTs including ICB and ACT. Here we review the regulation of adenosine levels and mechanisms by which it promotes tumor growth and broadly suppresses protective immunity, with extra focus on the attenuation of T cell function. Finally, we present an overview of promising pre-clinical and clinical approaches being explored for blocking the adenosine axis for enhanced control of solid tumors.

Abstract
Cytoskeletal rearrangements often occur as the result of transduction of signals from the extracellular environment. Efficient awakening of this powerful machinery requires multiple activation and deactivation steps, which usually involve phosphorylation or dephosphorylation of different signaling units by kinases and phosphatases, respectively. In this review, we discuss the signaling characteristics of one of the nPKC isoforms, PKCθ, focusing on PKCθ-mediated signal transduction to cytoskeletal elements, which results in cellular rearrangements critical for cell type-specific responses to stimuli. PKCθ is the major PKC isoform present in hematopoietic and skeletal muscle cells. PKCθ plays roles in T cell signaling through the IS, survival responses in adult T cells, and T cell FasL-mediated apoptosis, all of which involve cytoskeletal rearrangements and relocation of this enzyme. PKCθ has been linked to the regulation of cell migration, lymphoid cell motility, and insulin signaling and resistance in skeletal muscle cells. Additional roles were suggested for PKCθ in mitosis and cell-cycle regulation. Comprehensive understanding of cytoskeletal regulation and the cellular "modus operandi" of PKCθ holds promise for improving current therapeutic applications aimed at autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
One of the important signaling events following TCR engagement is activation of phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ). PLCγ has two isoforms, PLCγ1 and PLCγ2. It is known that PLCγ1 is important for TCR signaling and TCR-mediated T cell selection and functions, whereas PLCγ2 is critical for BCR signal transduction and BCR-mediated B cell maturation and functions. In this study, we report that PLCγ2 was expressed in primary T cells, and became associated with linker for activated T cells and Src homology 2-domain containing leukocyte protein of 76 kDa and activated upon TCR stimulation. PLCγ1/PLCγ2 double-deficient T cells displayed further block from CD4 and CD8 double-positive to single-positive transition compared with PLCγ1 single-deficient T cells. TCR-mediated proliferation was further impaired in PLCγ1/PLCγ2 double-deficient T cells compared with PLCγ1 single-deficient T cells. TCR-mediated signal transduction, including Ca²⁺ mobilization and Erk activation, was further impaired in PLCγ1/PLCγ2 double-deficient relative to PLCγ1 single-deficient T cells. In addition, in HY TCR transgenic mouse model, thymic positive and negative selections were reduced in PLCγ1 heterozygous- and PLCγ2 homozygous-deficient (PLCγ1⁺/⁻PLCγ2⁻/⁻) relative to wild-type, PLCγ2 single-deficient (PLCγ2⁻/⁻), or PLCγ1 heterozygous-deficient (PLCγ1⁺/⁻) mice. Taken together, these data demonstrate that PLCγ2 participates in TCR signal transduction and plays a role in T cell selection.

Abstract
Activation of T lymphocytes requires protein kinase C theta (PKC-theta) and an appropriately elevated free intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). Here, we show that phorbol 12 myristate 13-acetate (PMA) inhibited Ca2+ influx in wild-type but not PKC-theta-/- T cells, suggesting that PKC-theta plays a role in PMA-mediated inhibition of Ca2+ influx. In contrast, T cell receptor (TCR) crosslinking in the same PKC-theta-/- T cells did result in significantly decreased [Ca2+]i compared to wild-type T cells, suggesting a positive role for PKC-theta in TCR-mediated Ca2+ mobilization. In PKC-theta-/- mice, peripheral mature T cells, but not developing thymocytes, displayed significantly decreased TCR-induced Ca2+ influx and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) translocation upon sub-optimal TCR crosslinking. The decreased intracellular free Ca2+ was due to changes in Ca2+ influx but not efflux, as observed in extracellular and intracellular Ca2+ mobilization studies. However, these differences in Ca2+ influx and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) translocation disappeared with increasing intensity of TCR crosslinking. The enhancing effect of PKC-theta on Ca2+ influx is not only dependent on the strength of TCR crosslinking but also on the developmental stage of T cells. The underlying mechanism involved phospholipase Cgamma1 activation and inositol triphosphate production. Furthermore, knockdown of endogenous PKC-theta expression in Jurkat cells resulted in significant inhibition of TCR-induced activation of NFAT, as evidenced from NFAT reporter studies. Forced expression of a constitutively active form of calcineurin in PKC-theta-/- Jurkat cells could readily overcome the above inhibition. Thus, PKC-theta can both positively and negatively regulate the Ca2+ influx that is critical for NFAT activity.

Abstract
PKCtheta plays an essential role in activation of mature T cells via stimulation of AP-1 and NF-kappaB, and is known to selectively translocate to the immunological synapse in antigen-stimulated T cells. Recently, we reported that a Vav/Rac pathway which depends on actin cytoskeleton reorganization mediates selective recruitment of PKCtheta to the membrane or cytoskeleton and its catalytic activation by anti-CD3/CD28 costimulation. Because this pathway acted selectively on PKCtheta, we addressed here the question of whether the translocation and activation of PKCtheta in T cells is regulated by a unique pathway distinct from the conventional mechanism for PKC activation, i.e., PLC-mediated production of DAG. Using three independent approaches, i.e., a selective PLC inhibitor, a PLCgamma1-deficient T cell line, or a dominant negative PLCgamma1 mutant, we demonstrate that CD3/CD28-induced membrane recruitment and COOH-terminal phosphorylation of PKCtheta are largely independent of PLC. In contrast, the same inhibitory strategies blocked the membrane translocation of PKCalpha. Membrane or lipid raft recruitment of PKCtheta (but not PKCalpha) was absent in T cells treated with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) inhibitors or in Vav-deficient T cells, and was enhanced by constitutively active PI3-K. 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK1) also upregulated the membrane translocation of PKCtheta;, but did not associate with it. These results provide evidence that a nonconventional PI3-K- and Vav-dependent pathway mediates the selective membrane recruitment and, possibly, activation of PKCtheta in T cells.

Abstract
Numerous studies suggest that immune function may be compromised by lipid emulsions rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid. In our study, we compared the effect of a new olive oil-based lipid emulsion (ClinOleic(R)) containing 18% linoleic acid, and an emulsion based on soybean oil (Ivelip(R); 52% linoleic acid) on lymphocyte functions. Weaning Wistar rats (n= 24) were fed for 4 weeks on an oral diet that contained 12% of total energy as lipids from soybean oil. Then they received, during 6 days, a total parenteral nutrition (260 kcal/kg/d) in which 12% of total energy was brought by one of the two lipid emulsions. The fatty acid profile of spleen lymphocyte phospholipids reflected lipid intakes, with a higher content of oleic acid in ClinOleic(R) group and linoleic acid in Ivelip(R) group. A greater proportion of cells expressed the interleukin-2 receptor a-chain (CD25) after administration of ClinOleic(R) when compared to Ivelip(R) (55.43 +/- 3.47 vs 45.48 +/- 3.26%, P<< 0.05). Moreover, the CD25 expression was positively correlated with oleic acid content of spleen lymphocyte phospholipids (r= 0.500, P<< 0.018). These results show that ClinOleic(R) is able to induce, in vivo, a greater proportion of cells expressing CD25, and suggest that oleic acid could have a role in the observed effects.

Abstract
T cell stimulation in the absence of a second, costimulatory signal can lead to anergy or the induction of cell death. CD28 is a major T cell costimulatory receptor, the coengagement of which can prevent anergy and cell death. The CD28 receptor is a member of a complex family of polypeptides that includes at least two receptors and two ligands. Cytotoxic lymphocyte-associated molecule-4 (CTLA-4, CD152) is the second member of the CD28 receptor family. The ligands or counterreceptors for these two proteins are the B7 family members, CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2). This article reviews the CD28/CTLA4 and CD80/CD86 families, and outlines the functional outcomes and biochemical signaling pathways recruited after CD28 ligation.

Abstract
Abstract
One of the major proteins that is rapidly tyrosine phosphorylated upon stimulation of the TCR/CD3 complex is the 120-kDa product of the c-cbl protooncogene (Cbl). Upon activation, tyrosine-phosphorylated Cbl interacts with the Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of several signaling proteins, e.g., phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) and CrkL. In the present study, we report that pretreatment of Jurkat T cells with PMA reduced the anti-CD3-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl and, consequently, its activation-dependent association with PI3-K and CrkL. A specific protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor (GF-109203X) reversed the effect of PMA on tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl and restored the activation-dependent association of Cbl with PI3-K and CrkL. We also provide evidence that PKCα and PKCθ can physically associate with Cbl and are able to phosphorylate it in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, a serine-rich motif at the C terminus of Cbl, which is critical for PMA-induced 14-3-3 binding, is also phosphorylated by PKCα and PKCθ in vitro. These results suggest that, by regulating tyrosine and serine phosphorylation of Cbl, PKC is able to control the association of Cbl with signaling intermediates, such as SH2 domain-containing proteins and 14-3-3 proteins, which may consequently result in the modulation of its function.

Abstract
1. To delineate the mechanism by which cyclic AMP (cAMP) suppresses interleukin (IL)-5 synthesis, the effects of prostaglandin (PG) E2, forskolin, dibutyryl (db)-cAMP and the Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin on cytokine synthesis, proliferation and CD25 expression of human T cells were investigated. Further studies were performed by measurement of the intracellular concentrations of cyclic AMP ([cAMP]i) and Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and by electrophoretic mobility shift analysis (EMSA). 2. PGE2, forskolin and db-cAMP suppressed IL-5 production by human T cell line following T cell receptor (TCR)-stimulation. PGE2 suppressed TCR-induced messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of IL-2, IL-4 and IL-5, as well as proliferation and CD25 expression. 3. Cyclic AMP-mediated suppression of cytokine synthesis, proliferation and CD25 expression in human T cells were attenuated by ionomycin. 4. [cAMP]i was increased by PGE2 and forskolin. PGE2 suppressed the TCR-induced biphasic increase in [Ca2+]i. EMSA revealed that four specific protein-DNA binding complexes related to NF-AT were detected at the IL-5 promoter sequence located from -119 to -90 relative to the transcription initiation site. The slowest migrating complex induced by TCR stimulation was enhanced by PGE2 and further upregulated by ionomycin. Another binding which did not compete with cold AP-1 oligonucleotides, was constitutively present and was unaffected by PGE2 but enhanced by ionomycin. 5. The suppressive effect of cyclic AMP on human IL-5 synthesis is mediated by interference with intracellular Ca2+ mobilization but distinct from the NF-AT-related pathway.

Abstract
Phospholipase C-gamma1, a substrate for many growth factor receptor and nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, produces second messenger molecules that are elements of signal transduction pathways related to cell proliferation. The influence of deletion mutations, which do not intrude on the domains required for catalytic function, on the basal activity of this enzyme is reported. Removal of the first 74 amino-terminal residues increases phospholipase C activity, while deletion of the carboxy-terminal 81 residues decreases enzyme activity. Deletion of the SH2-SH2-SH3 central region, which separates the two domains (X, Y) responsible for catalytic function, also increases enzymatic activity. Interestingly, addition of a recombinant SH2-SH2-SH3 fragment of phospholipase C-gamma1 to the holoenzyme inhibits its phospholipase activity at pH 7.0, but not at pH 5.0. However, addition of individual SH2 or SH3 domains does not influence activity of the holoenzyme. All three deletion mutants, in contrast to the holoenzyme, are relatively resistant to V8 proteolysis and activation induced by the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase, which require, respectively, specific proteolysis and phosphorylation sites within the SH region. This suggests a conformational change is induced in the SH region by deletion at either the amino- or carboxy-terminus.

Abstract
We have previously shown that a tyrosine to leucine replacement in the transmembrane region of T cell receptor (TCR)-beta results in a deficient induction of CD95-L and apoptosis upon TCR triggering in a transfected T cell line. By contrast, interleukin (IL)-2 production and the expression of CD25 and CD69 were normally induced. Since the mutation in TCR-beta also resulted in impaired association of CD3-zeta, it was proposed that this chain is specifically required for the induction of apoptosis. We now show that the deficient induction of CD95-L and apoptosis does not derive from a general lower production of second messengers, since intracellular Ca2+ fluxes and tyrosine phosphorylation of total proteins were elicited at wild-type levels. Unlike in T cell clones stimulated with partial agonists, both p21 and p18 forms of tyrosine-phosphorylated CD3-zeta were detected, although the overall level of tyrosine-phosphorylated CD3-zeta was low. More strikingly, inducible association of ZAP70 to CD3-zeta was strongly inhibited, despite a normal induction of ZAP70 tyrosine phosphorylation. Finally, ZAP70 was not concentrated near the plasma membrane in the apoptosis-deficient cells. These results suggest that CD3-zeta is necessary for engagement of a specific signaling pathway leading to CD95-L expression that also needs the recruitment of ZAP70.

The present study evaluated the potential intracellular mechanism of suppressed T cell responses by assessing the activation of p59fyn kinase in T cells from septic rats as well as the T cells incubated with PGE2. p59fyn is known to regulate T cell functions. Sepsis was induced in rats by implanting fecal pellets containing Escherichia coli (150 CFU) and Bacteroides fragilis (104 CFU) into the abdominal cavity. For the assessment of PGE2 role in sepsis, a group of septic rats were treated with indomethacin, which inhibits endogenous PGE2 synthesis. As assessed by immunoblotting or in vitro kinase assay, a more than 40% inhibition of p59fyn phosphorylation and kinase activity was observed in septic rat T cells compared with the T cells from sterile or control rats. A similar inhibition in p59fyn phosphorylation and kinase activity was observed in PGE2-treated T cells compared with the T cells incubated in the absence of PGE2. The septic-related suppression in p59fyn phosphorylation and kinase activity in T cells was prevented in rats treated with indomethacin. We observed that the inhibition in p59fyn activation in septic or PGE2-treated T cells was due primarily to a suppression in p59fyn phosphorylation and not due to alterations in p59fyn protein expression. These findings suggest that PGE2 released during sepsis could contribute to the sepsis-related suppression in T cell proliferation by attenuating p59fyn phosphorylation and its kinase activity.

Abstract
The effects of omega 3 fatty acids and epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the activity of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and phospholipase C (phosphatidylinositol (PI)-specific PLC) were examined in EMT6 cells. The non-omega 3 treated, non-EGF stimulated cells served as controls. Treatment of the EMT6 cells with omega 3 fatty acids resulted in a 62% increase in RTK activity and a 67% increase in PI-specific PLC activity. When EGF was added to incubations for RTK activity, it stimulated the RTK activity 40% in the control cells and 130% in the omega 3-treated cells. When EGF was added to incubations for PI-specific PLC activity, a 54% increase in PI-specific PLC activity was observed in control cells and a 94% increase in the omega 3-treated cells. Thus, treating EMT6 cells with omega 3 fatty acids seems to increase RTK activity and PI-specific PLC activity to a similar extent, but has differential effects on the ability of these enzyme activities to be stimulated by EGF.

Abstract
Antigen stimulation through the T cell receptor (TCR) induces phosphorylation of the associated CD3 gamma delta epsilon- and zeta-chain cytoplasmic tails. These events lead to the induction of the intracellular signaling pathways with concomitant receptor down-regulation. The TCR is down-regulated from the cell surface by the activation of protein kinase, C (PKC) and subsequent serine phosphorylation of the CD3 gamma-chain. We report here that the TCR alpha-chain cytoplasmic tail is also necessary for PKC-mediated internalization of the TCR complex. The requirement for the TCR alpha-chain cytoplasmic tail is specific for internalization of the TCR complex, since down-regulation of CD4 is still intact in hybridoma cells expressing a tailless TCR alpha-chain. The absence of TCR internalization directly correlates with defective PKC-mediated phosphorylation of the CD3 gamma-chain. Despite deficient PKC-mediated TCR down-regulation, the tailless alpha beta TCR still transduces antigenic signals resulting in the production of interleukin-2. Although the TCR tails are not obviously required for signal transduction, the TCR alpha-tail may serve as a targeting domain for PKC-mediated down-regulation of the TCR complex.

Abstract
Stimulation of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR).CD3 complex induces rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl, a protooncogene product which has been implicated in intracellular signaling pathways via its interaction with several signaling molecules. We found recently that Cbl associates directly with a member of the 14-3-3 protein family (14-3-3tau) in T cells and that the association is increased as a consequence of anti-CD3-mediated T cell activation. We report here that phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate stimulation of T cells also enhanced the interaction between Cbl and two 14-3-3 isoforms (tau and zeta). Tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl was not sufficient or required for this increased interaction. Thus, cotransfection of COS cells with Cbl plus Lck and/or Syk family protein-tyrosine kinases caused a marked increase in the phosphotyrosine content of Cbl without a concomitant enhancement of its association with 14-3-3. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate stimulation induced serine phosphorylation of Cbl, and dephosphorylation of immunoprecipitated Cbl by a Ser/Thr phosphatase disrupted its interaction with 14-3-3. By using successive carboxyl-terminal deletion mutants of Cbl, the 14-3-3-binding domain was mapped to a serine-rich 30-amino acid region (residues 615-644) of Cbl. Mutation of serine residues in this region further defined a binding motif distinct from the consensus sequence RSXSXP, which was recently identified as a 14-3-3-binding motif. These results suggest that TCR stimulation induces both tyrosine and serine phosphorylation of Cbl. These phosphorylation events allow Cbl to recruit distinct signaling elements that participate in TCR-mediated signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
The protein tyrosine kinase Syk is activated upon engagement of immune recognition receptors. We have focused on the identification of signaling elements immediately downstream to Syk in the pathway leading to T cell activation. To circumvent T cell receptor (TCR). CD3 activation of Src family kinases, we constructed a signaling molecule with an extracellular single chain Fv of an anti-TNP antibody, attached via a transmembrane region to Syk (scFv-Syk). In a murine T cell hybridoma, direct aggregation of chimeric Syk with antigen culminates in interleukin-2 production and target cell lysis. Initially, it causes an increase in the association between scFv-Syk and the cytosolic protein Cbl and subsequently promotes tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl. Interestingly, although both Cbl and phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) are phosphorylated in this hybridoma upon TCR.CD3 cross-linking, these two events are uncoupled in scFv-Syk-transfected cells, in which we were unable to detect antigen-driven PLC-gamma phosphorylation. These results support a model in which Syk can initiate and directly activate the T cell's signaling machinery and position Cbl as a primary tyrosine kinase substrate in this pathway. Furthermore, for efficient PLC-gamma phosphorylation to occur in these cells, the combined actions of different tyrosine kinase families may be required.

Abstract
A wide variety of messages, in the form of diffusible growth factors, hormones and cytokines, are carried throughout multicellular organisms to coordinate important physiological properties of target cells, such as proliferation, differentiation, migration, apoptosis and metabolism. Most messengers bind to cognate receptors on target cells, which initiate a characteristic cascade of reactions within the cell, ultimately leading to the desired response. The cellular response is defined by the combination of signalling components whose individual activity depends upon the number and type of surface receptors. Consequently the responses of different cell types to one or more stimuli can be quite disparate. A molecular understanding of the signalling pathways employed by each type of receptor therefore underlies the ability to rationalize many cellular functions and to correct disfunctions. As a well studied example of the primary signalling events that take place on the cytoplasmic leaflet of the plasma membrane following receptor activation, we will discuss how the widely expressed receptor for epidermal growth factor (EGF) causes the phosphorylation and hydrolysis of a signalling precursor, the membrane lipid phosphatidylinositol. This paradigm will be used to illustrate certain general principles of signalling, including formation of multienzyme complexes, compartmentation of second messengers and intermediates, and cross-talk between different signalling pathways.

Abstract
1. The cyclic AMP phosphodiesterases (PDE) expressed by CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes purified from the peripheral blood of normal adult subjects were identified and characterized, and their role in modulating proliferation and the biosynthesis of interleukin (IL)-2 and interferon (IFN)-gamma evaluated. 2. In lysates prepared from both subsets, SK&F 95654 (PDE3 inhibitor) and rolipram (PDE4 inhibitor) suppressed cyclic AMP hydrolysis indicating the presence of PDE3 and PDE4 isoenzymes in these cells. Differential centrifugation and subsequent inhibitor and kinetic studies revealed that the particulate fraction contained, predominantly, a PDE3 isoenzyme. In contrast, the soluble fraction contained a PDE4 (approximately 65% of total activity) and, in addition, a novel enzyme that had the kinetic characteristics of the recently identified PDE7. 3. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) studies with primer pairs designed to recognise unique sequences in the human PDE4 and PDE7 genes amplified cDNA fragments that corresponded to the predicted sizes of HSPDE4A, HSPDE4B, HSPDE54D and HSPDE7. No message was detected for HSPDE4C after 35 cycles of amplification. 4. Functionally, rolipram inhibited phytohaemagglutinin- (PHA) and anti-CD3-induced proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes, and the elaboration of IL-2, which was associated with a three to four fold increase in cyclic AMP mass. In all experiments, however, rolipram was approximately 60 fold more potent at suppressing IL-2 synthesis than at inhibiting mitogenesis. In contrast, SK&F 95654 failed to suppress proliferation and cytokine generation, and did not elevate the cyclic AMP content in T-cells. Although inactive alone, SK&F 95654 potentiated the ability of rolipram to suppress PHA- and anti-CD3-induced T-cell proliferation, and PHA-induced IL-2 release. 5. When a combination of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and ionomycin were used as a co-mitogen, rolipram did not affect proliferation but, paradoxically, suppressed IL-2 release indicating that cyclic AMP can inhibit mitogenesis by acting at, or proximal to, the level of inositol phospholipid hydrolysis. 6. Collectively, these data suggest that PDE3 and PDE4 isoenzymes regulate the cyclic AMP content, IL-2 biosynthesis and proliferation in human CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes. However, the ability of rolipram to suppress markedly mitogen-induced IL-2 generation without affecting T-cell proliferation suggests that growth and division of T-lymphocytes may be governed by mediators in addition to IL-2. Finally, T-cells have the potential to express PDE7, although elucidating the functional role of this enzyme must await the development of selective inhibitors.

Abstract
T cell surface CD4 molecules act as co-receptors that amplify the T cell receptor (TcR)/CD3-induced signal transduction by a mechanism that requires the interaction of CD4 with p56lck tyrosine kinase (Veillette et al.; Nature 1989 338:257). Here, we demonstrate that in the absence of TcR signaling, heat-inactivated HIV-1 (HIV-HI) also elicits a cascade of events generally considered to convey a positive signal, such as protein tyrosine phosphorylation, phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. These results contribute to understand better the control that HIV may exert on its own replication or on T cell apoptosis by modulating the activation status of its target cells through its interaction with T cell surface CD4 molecules.

Abstract
T-cell receptor (TCR) triggering by an anti-CD3 antibody or phytohemagglutinin (PHA) as well as the treatment with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), a direct activator of protein kinase C (PKC), induces activation of Ras in T-lymphocytes (Downward, J. et al. (1990)) Nature 364, 719-723). In this paper, we studied the role of Ras in the process of TCR-mediated T-cell activation using a human lymphomic Jurkat cell line. The stimulatory effect of TCR cross-linking on Ras activation was inhibited by herbimycin A, a specific inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), whereas PMA-induced Ras activation was not affected. On the other hand, calphostin C, a specific inhibitor of PKC, blocked not only PMA-induced, but also TCR-mediated formation of Ras.GTP. Furthermore, down-regulation of PMA-sensitive PKC severely impaired the activation of Ras in response to TCR-stimulation. Tyrosine-phosphorylation and translocation to the particulate fraction of phospholipase C-gamma 1 (PLC-gamma 1) were observed upon T-cell activation. Subcellular localization of PKC was also changed when the cells were stimulated with an anti-CD3 antibody or PMA. While TCR-stimulated translocation of PKC was observed only transiently, PMA-induced translocation of PKC was more sustained. These results suggest that the activation of PLC-gamma 1 by PTK and subsequent activation of PKC are important for TCR-mediated Ras activation in Jurkat cells. An activated form of Ras enhanced the activation of interleukin 2 (IL-2) promoter by TCR stimulation or PMA treatment, although the activated Ras by itself was insufficient for IL-2 promoter activation. On the other hand, a dominant-inhibitory Ras diminished almost completely the activation of IL-2 promoter induced by PMA plus calcium ionophore, indicating that Ras is essential for transduction of T-cell activation signals. Cholera toxin (CTX), which directly activates Gs alpha, is shown to inhibit the activation of IL-2 promoter. TCR-mediated Ras activation, tyrosine phosphorylation and translocation of cellular proteins including ZAP-70, PLC-gamma 1 , and PKC. An activated Gs alpha mutant as well as dibutylyl cAMP (dBcAMP) also showed similar inhibitory effects.

Abstract
In human peripheral blood lymphocytes stimulated via the T-cell antigen receptor/CD3 complex IL-2 synthesis and cellular proliferation were effectively inhibited by a concentration of ouabain as low as 50 nM, whilst the expression of high affinity IL-2 receptors was not influenced. Binding of the monoclonal antibody, BMA 031 to the T-cell antigen receptor/CD3 complex resulted in a bimodal activation of protein kinase C. The activation of protein kinase C-alpha in the early phase of T-lymphocyte activation was not affected by 50 nM ouabain, in contrast sustained activation of protein kinase C-beta, between 90-240 min of stimulation was completely abolished by the cardiac glycoside. When protein kinase C was directly activated by PMA + ionomycin, 50 nM ouabain was ineffective in inhibiting protein kinase C activation, as well as subsequent IL-2 synthesis, suggesting that the glycoside interfered with signal transducing mechanism(s) upstream of the activation of protein kinase C. Ouabain had no influence on the elevation of intracellular calcium concentration in BMA 031 stimulated lymphocytes, ruling out the possibility that it interfered with the T-cell antigen receptor dependent phosphatidylinositol response. In contrast, lysophosphatide acyltransferase catalysed elevated incorporation of polyunsaturated fatty acids was effectively inhibited by low concentrations of ouabain in BMA 031-stimulated T-lymphocytes, whereas stimulation with PMA + ionomycin had no influence on the plasma membrane phospholipid fatty acid metabolism. These results suggest, that differential signal transduction pathways are involved in the activation of protein kinases C-alpha and -beta. They implicate that elevated incorporation of polyunsaturated fatty acids into plasma membrane phospholipids might contribute to sustained activation of protein kinase C-beta, and establish a link between activation of protein kinase C-beta and induction of IL-2 synthesis in human lymphocytes.

Abstract
Stimulation of human peripheral blood lymphocytes via T cell receptor/CD3 complex resulted in a bimodal activation of protein kinase(s) C (PKC). Within 10 min of stimulation PKC-alpha was translocated to, and thus activated in, the plasma membranes of human lymphocytes, followed by a fast dissociation of this isotype from the plasma membrane. This short term activation and translocation PKC-alpha proved to be cyclosporin A (CsA) insensitive. After 90 min of stimulation PKC-beta was translocated to and remained bound to the plasma membranes for up to 4 h. Preincubation of human lymphocytes with 200 ng/ml CsA specifically and completely abolished the sustained activation of PKC-beta. Neither the phorbol ester-induced direct activation of PKC nor the specific activity of the plasma membrane-bound enzyme was influenced by CsA, suggesting that a signal transduction pathway leading to sustained activation of PKC-beta was influenced by the immunosuppressive agent. In fact, CsA inhibited, in a concentration-dependent manner, the activation of lysophosphatid acyltransferase-catalyzed elevated incorporation of cis-polyunsaturated fatty acids into plasma membrane phospholipids. While interleukin-2 (IL-2) synthesis and cellular proliferation were completely inhibited by 200 ng/ml CsA in BMA 030- or BMA 031-stimulated cells, expression of high-affinity IL-2 receptors was not influenced by the immunosuppressive drug. These results suggest that synthesis and expression of high-affinity IL-2 receptors might be regulated by a signal-transducing pathway involving activation and translocation of PKC-alpha. Lysophosphatid acyltransferase-catalyzed incorporation of cis-polyunsaturated fatty acids might represent another mechanism of signal transduction implicated in the activation and translocation of PKC-beta, which is specifically inhibited by CsA. Neutralization of PKC-beta by introducing anti-PKC-beta antibodies prevented IL-2 synthesis and proliferation in stimulated human lymphocytes. The results suggest a possible link between activation of PKC-beta and regulation of IL-2 synthesis in activated human lymphocytes. Thus, inhibition of the activation and translocation of PKC-beta by CsA may result in inhibition of IL-2 gene expression in human lymphocytes.

Abstract
T cells from patients with active RA are known to produce low levels of IL-2 and proliferate poorly in response to various mitogenic stimuli. The present work shows that cross-linking of CD3 antigen on patients' T-cell surface induces two- to threefold lower Ca2+ response than in T cells from age-matched controls. Immunofluorescence studies indicate that the attenuated signal may be due to the suppressed expression of CD3 and/or CD45 molecules on patients' T cells. In the majority of the patients, the level of CD45 expression is reduced by 60%-70% as compared with that in the control T cells. Therefore, the poor mitogenic response of patient cells is apparently due to a defect in early stages of signal transduction through the T-cell receptor (TCR-CD3).

Abstract
The mechanism of immunosuppressant activity of phosphatidylserine has been studied in peripheral blood mononuclear cells depleted or not of monocytes. After the addition of phosphatidylserine, mass determinations and uptake of labeled compound demonstrate its transfer into the cells. Phosphatidylserine incorporation causes a 2.5-fold increase of membrane-bound protein kinase C activity. The activation of translocated enzyme is indicated by the inhibition of phosphoinositide hydrolysis, and early feedback effect induced by activated protein kinase C. This action of phosphatidylserine is reproduced by tetradecanoylphorbolacetate and is prevented by the protein kinase C inhibitor, staurosporine. Consistently, phosphatidylserine (8 nmol/10(6) cells) decreases by 46% the production of inositol phosphates in cells responding to phytohemagglutinin. The decrease of phosphoinositide signal pathway as well as the inhibition of mitogen-induced DNA synthesis are produced at the same phosphatidylserine concentration and are equally manifest in total mononuclear cells or in preparations depleted of monocytes. However, only in the presence of monocytes does tetradecanoylphorbolacetate enhance the action of phospholipid, decreasing its IC50 from 13-15 microM to 7 microM. Thus, the data suggest that a reaction driven by protein kinase-C and a factor released by activated monocytes are involved in the phosphatidylserine-induced inhibition of lymphocyte DNA synthesis.

Abstract
The mechanism by which ligand binding to the T-cell antigen receptor triggers the T-cell activation program has long been one of the most fascinating questions in lymphocyte biology. Here, we review recent insights into the transmembrane signaling functions of this multisubunit receptor complex.

Abstract
Activation of protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs) is required for signal transduction during T cell activation, although the pathway used during thymic selection is unknown. An in vitro system was established in which T cell receptor transgenic thymocytes underwent clonal deletion in response to peptide antigen. The effects of two PTK-specific inhibitors, herbimycin A and genistein, on the clonal deletion of immature thymocytes and the activation of mature thymocytes were examined. Clonal deletion occurred while T cell activation was inhibited and when no p56lck activity was evident. Thus, p56lck is not required for the antigen-stimulated step of clonal deletion of immature thymocytes, and negative selection proceeds via a distinct pathway.

Abstract
While EGF has an important function in cell growth regulation, the molecular mechanisms by which intracellular signal connect the EGF: receptor complex on the plasma membrane with the initiation of DNA synthesis and mitogenesis is not well understood. The discovery that rasGAP, PI-3 kinase and PLC-gamma 1 are substrates for the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase has provided a beginning in understanding the biochemistry underlying growth factor receptor transduction.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate hydrolysis is an immediate response to many hormones, including growth factors. The hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate is catalyzed by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. A number of phospholipase C isozymes have been identified. Different isozymes are activated by different receptor classes. This review will summarize the different isozymes of phospholipase C, and the current knowledge of the mechanisms by which phospholipase C activity is modulated by growth factors.
