Membrane properties involved in calcium-stimulated microparticle release from the plasma membranes of S49 lymphoma cells.
    TheScientificWorldJournal, 2014, Volume: 2014

    This study answered the question of whether biophysical mechanisms for microparticle shedding discovered in platelets and erythrocytes also apply to nucleated cells: cytoskeletal disruption, potassium efflux, transbilayer phospholipid migration, and membrane disordering. The calcium ionophore, ionomycin, disrupted the actin cytoskeleton of S49 lymphoma cells and produced rapid release of microparticles. This release was significantly inhibited by interventions that impaired calcium-activated potassium current. Microparticle release was also greatly reduced in a lymphocyte cell line deficient in the expression of scramblase, the enzyme responsible for calcium-stimulated dismantling of the normal phospholipid transbilayer asymmetry. Rescue of the scrambling function at high ionophore concentration also resulted in enhanced particle shedding. The effect of membrane physical properties was addressed by varying the experimental temperature (32-42°C). A significant positive trend in the rate of microparticle release as a function of temperature was observed. Fluorescence experiments with trimethylammonium diphenylhexatriene and Patman revealed significant decrease in the level of apparent membrane order along that temperature range. These results demonstrated that biophysical mechanisms involved in microparticle release from platelets and erythrocytes apply also to lymphocytes.

The mitochondrial localization of RelB and NFATx in immature T cells.
    Cellular & molecular biology letters, 2008, Volume: 13, Issue:4

    In order to exert their activity, transcription factors must be transported to the nucleus. Certain transcription factors have also been found on mitochondria. Here, the localization of RelB and NFATx in the mitochondrial fractions of normal thymocytes and thymic lymphoma cells is shown for the first time. CREB was only found in the nucleus, while p50 (NFkappaB) was found in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm, but outside the mitochondria. The translocation of transcription factors to the mitochondria is differentially regulated. Unlike RelB, which is always present in the mitochondrial fraction, NFATx appeared on the mitochondria in cells treated with ionomycin together with an immunosuppressant and inhibitor of calcineurin (FK506). This data reveals that the mitochondrial localization of some transcription factors is precisely controlled by a calcium signal sensitive to FK506 in T cells.

Arachidonic acid metabolism in murine lymphoma cell sublines differing in radiation sensitivity.
    Prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and essential fatty acids, 1996, Volume: 55, Issue:4

    14C arachidonic acid incorporation and 14C radioactivity release as well as prostaglandin (PG) and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) synthesis were measured in the pair of murine lymphoma L5178Y (LY) cell sublines differing in radiation sensitivity. Both LY sublines, LY-R (resistant) and LY-S (sensitive), incorporated exogenous arachidonic acid and released it from membrane phospholipids. Ca2+ ionophores (ionomycin and A23187) but not PMA stimulated the liberation of 14C arachidonic acid in LY cells. PMA did not potentiate the 14C arachidonic acid release both in the presence or in the absence of A23187; this observation suggests that protein kinase C activation is not essential for the regulation of arachidonic acid release by LY-R and LY-S cells. X-irradiation (5 Gy) did not change the uptake of 14C arachidonic acid into LY-R and LY-S cells and did not potentiate the release of its total radioactivity from the cells. PG synthesis was stimulated in irradiated LY-R cells but not in LY-S cells. The susceptibility of eicosanoid metabolism to A23187 and H2O2 was altered in irradiated LY-R cells. A23187 stimulated only PG and 5-HETE synthesis in irradiated LY-R cells. H2O2 did not stimulate the synthesis of PG from exogenous arachidonic acid in irradiated LY-R and LY-S cells and 5-HETE synthesis in LY-R cells. An implication of the increased PG synthesis in LY-R cells in the protection against radiation is discussed.

Raf-1 provides a dominant but not exclusive signal for the induction of CD69 expression on T cells.
    European journal of immunology, 1995, Volume: 25, Issue:12

    Stimulation of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) induces a number of intracellular signaling pathways which lead to the transcription of a variety of new genes. Of the newly synthesized proteins, the earliest to be detected on the cell surface is the type II integral membrane protein CD69. Cross-linking of this activation antigen induces signaling events related to T cell activation. The proto-oncogene product Ras has been reported to up-regulate CD69. However, which of the potential effectors of Ras induces the expression of CD69 has remained unclear. Using transient transfection, we have shown a constitutively active form of the serine/threonine kinase Raf-1 to be sufficient to induce CD69 expression in human Jurkat T cells. Raf-1 was further shown to be necessary for PMA-induced CD69 expression, since transfection of a dominant inhibitory form of Raf-1 blocked the up-regulation of CD69 by PMA. In addition, studies with the calcium ionophore ionomycin identified a previously uncharacterized pathway regulating the expression of CD69 in T cells. Elevation of intracellular calcium induced the expression of CD69 in both Jurkat cells and peripheral blood T cells. This effect was sensitive to the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A, indicating that calcium-induced CD69 expression is mediated by the protein phosphatase calcineurin. Taken together, these results define Raf-1 as the major signaling mediator of CD69 expression in T cells and suggest that multiple mechanisms exist to regulate the level of CD69 expression following TCR stimulation.

Effects of hypoxia on interleukin-2 mRNA expression by T lymphocytes.
    Critical care medicine, 1994, Volume: 22, Issue:2

    To investigate the effects of hypoxia on T-lymphocyte expression of IL-2 messenger RNA (mRNA), after cell activation with phorbol ester and ionomycin.. Prospective, controlled, cellular trial.. University research laboratory.. EL4.6.1 cells, a murine T-cell lymphoma line.. Tissue culture media was deoxygenated and flushed continuously with 100% helium to maintain a PO2 of 30 to 40 torr (< 40 torr [< 5.3 kPa]), or flushed with 10% oxygen/90% helium to maintain a PO2 of 45 to 55 torr (> 45 torr [> 6.0 kPa]). The pH was maintained between 7.3 and 7.6. The media was inoculated with EL4 cells. Aliquots of cells were obtained at intervals and divided into two groups: an immediate group, stimulated immediately, and an overnight group that was returned to normal incubator conditions of 5% CO2/humidified room air for 18 hrs before stimulation.. Gas tension, pH, cell count, and viability were determined for each aliquot. Cells were stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate and ionomycin for 4 hrs, at which time levels of interleukin-2 (IL-2) messenger RNA (mRNA) and gamma actin mRNA were measured by solution hybridization and enzyme immunoassay. The results were expressed as IL-2 mRNA/gamma actin mRNA ratio, normalised to baseline room air values. Cell viability and housekeeping functions (gamma actin mRNA expression) were unaffected by hypoxia. Cells exposed to a PO2 of < 40 torr (< 5.3 kPa) demonstrated a dramatic reduction in IL-2 mRNA expression with increasing duration of hypoxia. These effects persisted after an 18-hr recovery period. There was no effect on IL-2 mRNA expression when cells were exposed to a PO2 of > 45 torr (> 6.0 kPa).. The regulation of IL-2 transcription in the T lymphocyte appears to be exquisitely sensitive to changes in oxygen tension. Exposure to a PO2 of < 40 torr (< 5.3 kPa) causes prolonged impairment of IL-2 mRNA expression. IL-2 is an important growth factor for T and NK cells, and plays a pivotal role in the regulation of the host's immune response. The long-lasting effects of brief hypoxic exposure may, in part, explain the critically ill patient's predisposition to infectious complications.

EBV membrane receptor (CR2) is phosphorylated by protein kinase C (PKC) in the early stages of virus entry into lymphoblastoid cells line (Raji).
    Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 1993, Oct-29, Volume: 196, Issue:2

    Labeling the EBV membrane with octadecylrhodamine-b-chloride (R18) we were able to monitor spectrofluorometrically the early events of EBV fusion, under conditions in which we could affect PKC activity. Binding of EBV to Raji cells induces PKC translocation from the cytosol to the plasma membrane and 32P incorporation into its cellular receptor CR2. CR2 phosphorylation is completely inhibited when cells are preincubated with the PKC inhibitor calphostin c. This treatment also generates a strong inhibition of EBV fusion. Taken together this result suggests a key role of CR2 phosphorylation in the EBV entry into Raji cells.

Effect of glucocorticosteroid treatment on intracellular calcium homeostasis in mouse lymphoma cells.
    Molecular endocrinology (Baltimore, Md.), 1993, Volume: 7, Issue:5

    There is growing evidence for the involvement of Ca2+ in the programmed cell death (apoptosis) of lymphocytes, but the nature of glucocorticoid-induced Ca2+ fluxes and their role in the cell death pathway are poorly understood. In the study reported here, we assessed the effect of glucocorticoid treatment on intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis in W7MG1 mouse lymphoma cells. Levels of cytosolic Ca2+ were measured using the intracellular Ca2+ indicator fura2 AM, and total cellular Ca2+ was measured by atomic absorbance spectroscopy. The level of Ca2+ within internal stores, including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), was estimated by measuring the increase in cytosolic Ca2+ induced by either ionomycin, an ionophore that mobilizes Ca2+ from a variety of internal stores, and by thapsigargin, a specific inhibitor of the ER-associated Ca(2+)-ATPase that mobilizes Ca2+ from the ER. Glucocorticoid treatment induced a significant decrease in ionomycin- and thapsigargin-mobilizable Ca2+ stores that was accompanied by an initial decrease in total cellular Ca2+, followed by a modest increase in both total cellular Ca2+ and cytosolic Ca2+. The glucocorticoid-induced depletion of internal Ca2+ stores was receptor mediated and occurred after a delay corresponding to the time required for glucocorticoid receptor complexes to regulate gene transcription. Mobilization of ER-associated Ca2+ stores by thapsigargin treatment induced DNA fragmentation and cell death similar to that observed after glucocorticoid treatment. These findings suggest that a mobilization of Ca2+ from internal stores may be a critical step in the apoptotic pathway of mouse lymphoma cells.

Direct stimulation of adenylate cyclase by mechanical forces in S49 mouse lymphoma cells during hyposmotic swelling.
    The Journal of biological chemistry, 1990, Apr-25, Volume: 265, Issue:12

    S49 mouse lymphoma cells respond to swelling deformation with rapid increases in intracellular calcium and cAMP. Experiments demonstrate that these increases in calcium and cAMP concentrations are not coupled in a regulatory manner. Direct inhibition of adenylate cyclase in wild type cells with miconazole prevented swelling-induced accumulation of cAMP. No effect of swelling was observed on the activity of cAMP phosphodiesterase. Additionally, complete inhibition of cAMP phosphodiesterase did not prevent swelling-induced cAMP accumulation. Experiments involving cyc- mutants (lacking the Gs-alpha protein) and 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine indicate that increased adenylate cyclase activity with swelling is not mediated by Gs. No evidence was found for attenuation of Gi-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity following swelling. In addition, exposure to pertussis toxin or phorbol ester, which disrupts Gi inhibition of adenylate cyclase did not prevent cAMP accumulation following swelling. Disruption of the actin membrane skeleton resulted in a significant accumulation of cAMP which was not further increased by swelling. Disruption of the microtubular cytoskeleton also increased cAMP content in S49 cells which could be further increased by swelling. It is concluded that S49 cell-adenylate cyclase responds directly to mechanical forces transmitted through the actin membrane skeleton.

Phytohemagglutinin rapidly lyses S49 T-lymphoma cells and the cytotoxicity is not mediated by generation of cAMP or increase in cytosolic calcium.
    Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 1990, Aug-16, Volume: 170, Issue:3

    Thymic-like lymphomas are very sensitive to killing by phytohemagglutinin. To investigate the mechanism of cytotoxicity, we studied the effect of PHA on cytosolic calcium [( Ca2+]i) and cAMP in the S49 mouse lymphoma cell line. PHA produced a slow continuing rise in [Ca2+]i. Estimation of cell number by Coulter counting showed that PHA induced rapid lysis of S49 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Nicardipine (10(-5) M) did not prevent PHA induced cell lysis or [Ca2+]i increase. Also ionomycin (10(-7) M) did not induce cell lysis. The data suggest that PHA induced increase in [Ca2+]i is the result rather than the cause of cell lysis. Elevated intracellular cAMP has an antiproliferative effect on S49 cells. PHA had no effect on cAMP levels in S49 cells. Also S49 cyc- clone which is deficient in Gs was susceptible to killing by PHA. These results suggest that the cytotoxic effect of PHA on S49 cells is rapid, but is not mediated by cAMP generation or an increase in [Ca2+]i, and other mechanisms should be investigated.

Role of phosphoinositide-derived second messengers in mediating anti-IgM-induced growth arrest of WEHI-231 B lymphoma cells.
    Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950), 1988, Jun-01, Volume: 140, Issue:11

    Anti-IgM irreversibly inhibits the growth of WEHI-231 B lymphoma cells and induces phosphoinositide hydrolysis--producing diacylglycerol, which activates protein kinase C, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, which induces the release of calcium from intracellular storage sites into the cytoplasm, and other inositol polyphosphates. The roles of two of the possible second messengers, cytoplasmic free calcium and diacylglycerol, in mediating the action of anti-IgM on WEHI-231 cells were assessed by elevating [Ca2+]i with ionomycin and by activating protein kinase C with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PdBu). The combination of 250 nM ionomycin and 4 to 7 nM PdBu was found to cause growth arrest and cell volume decrease responses in WEHI-231 cells which were similar to those caused by anti-IgM, although clearly slower. Both anti-IgM and the combination of mimicking reagents induced growth arrest of WEHI-231 cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. In both cases, this growth arrest was mitigated by addition of bacterial LPS. Moreover, 250 nM ionomycin plus 4 to 7 nM PdBu did not inhibit the growth of two other murine B lymphoma cell lines, each of which did exhibit increased phosphoinositide hydrolysis but not growth arrest in response to anti-Ig. Taken together, these results suggest that ionomycin and PdBu, at the concentrations used, did not inhibit WEHI-231 growth by general toxicity, but rather by mimicking the effects of the natural second messengers generated from Ag receptor cross-linking. Thus, the phosphoinositide-derived second messengers Ca2+i and diacylglycerol are capable of playing important roles in mediating the action of anti-IgM on WEHI-231 B lymphoma cells. However, the response of WEHI-231 cells to anti-IgM could not be fully reproduced with ionomycin and phorbol diester. These results suggest that another second messenger induced by anti-IgM may also play an important role in mediating the growth arrest of these cells.

Transmembrane signaling during interleukin 1-dependent T cell activation. Interactions of signal 1- and signal 2-type mediators with the phosphoinositide-dependent signal transduction mechanism.
    The Journal of biological chemistry, 1987, Feb-25, Volume: 262, Issue:6

    The murine T lymphoma line, LBRM-33 1A5, requires synergistic signals delivered by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and interleukin 1 (IL1) for activation to high level interleukin 2 production. The activation signals provided by PHA and IL1 were replaced by the Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, and the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), respectively. These observations supported a two-signal model for T cell activation involving increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) (signal 1) and activation of protein kinase C (signal 2) as necessary and sufficient events. However, biochemical analyses revealed that additional signals were involved in the activation of LBRM-33 cells by both receptor-dependent and -independent mediators. Both signal 1-type mediators, PHA and ionomycin, exerted pleiotropic effects at the concentrations required for synergy with signal 2-type mediators (IL1, TPA). Within 1-2 min of addition, PHA stimulated phospholipid turnover, including hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, Ca2+ mobilization, and protein kinase C activation. The [Ca2+]i increase induced by PHA was due to influx from both intracellular and extracellular Ca2+ pools. Similarly, ionomycin increased phospholipid turnover, [Ca2+]i, and directly affected protein kinase C activity in LBRM-33 cells. In contrast, the signal 2-type mediators, TPA and IL1, appeared to act by distinct intracellular mechanisms. TPA induced a protracted association of cellular protein kinase C with the plasma membrane, consistent with the two-signal activation model. Furthermore, acute TPA treatment inhibited PHA-stimulated inositol phosphate release and Ca2+ mobilization, suggesting that this mediator partially antagonized signal 1 delivery. IL1, in contrast, neither activated protein kinase C directly nor did it positively modulate the coupling of signal 1-type mediators to [Ca2+]i or protein kinase C via the phosphoinositide pathway. The intracellular signal delivered by IL1 is, therefore, generated through a mechanism distinct from or distal to the activation of protein kinase C. These studies indicate that the two-signal hypothesis, in its simplest form, is inadequate to explain the signals required for the initiation of IL1-dependent T cell activation.

Further observations on the effect of calcium ionophores on ascites tumor cells.
    Archives of biochemistry and biophysics, 1987, Nov-15, Volume: 259, Issue:1

    The effect of the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin on neoplastic thymocytes in comparison to its effect on normal thymus cells was studied. Ionomycin increases intracellular Ca2+ in normal lymphocytes but fails to increase Ca2+ in neoplastic thymocytes. In these cells the ionophore causes a transient increase in cytosolic free Ca2+. The lack of effect of ionomycin reproduces that of A23187, but it does not depend on reduced availability of intracellular Mg2+ to exchange with Ca2+; it appears to depend on the strong activity of the plasma membrane Ca2+-extruding pump that counteracts ionomycin permeabilization and that can be partly inhibited by the calmodulin inhibitor R24571 (calmidazolium). Neoplastic thymocytes show a high content of magnesium, the intracellular binding of which is efficiently regulated by endogenous ATP. The data show also an interesting correlation between the regulation of energy metabolism (aerobic glycolysis) and cation homeostasis in the neoplastic cells studied.
