Sequential expression of protooncogenes during lectin-stimulated mitogenesis of normal human lymphocytes.

چکیده
The proliferation of non-neoplastic T lymphocytes is regulated, in part, by the coordinated expression of genes encoding T-cell growth factor (interleukin 2, IL2), IL2 receptors (IL2R), and transferrin receptors (TFR). In addition to growth factors and their receptors, protooncogenes may regulate lymphocyte proliferation. We used cloned cDNAs homologous to 21 different protooncogenes to screen for their expression at the mRNA level in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated with the mitogenic lectin phytohemagglutinin (PHA), and we compared the time course of accumulation of mRNAs for these protooncogenes to that of mRNAs for the IL2, IL2R, TFR, and histone H3 genes. mRNAs for c-abl, c-ets, c-yes, and N-ras were present in unstimulated PBMC. After stimulation of PBMC by PHA, we detected marked increases within 10 min in the levels of mRNA for c-fos and c-myc; within 6 hr for IL2 and IL2R mRNAs; within 14 hr for c-myb, p53, N-ras, and TFR mRNAs; and within 24-36 hr for H3 mRNA. Expression of c-abl, c-ets, and c-yes increased gradually following stimulation with PHA. None of the other protooncogenes tested was expressed in PBMC. Addition of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide, before the addition of PHA to cultures, abolished the PHA-induced accumulation of mRNAs for c-myb, N-ras, and TFR, but not of mRNAs for c-fos, c-myc, IL2, and IL2R. These data indicate that c-fos, c-myc, IL2, and IL2R belong to a group of genes expressed early, whereas c-myb, N-ras, and TFR belong to a group of genes expressed later in PHA-activated PBMC, and that the products of the c-fos and c-myc protooncogenes are not required for expression of IL2 or IL2R genes. Addition of purified IL2 augmented the expression of the later-expressed genes c-myb, p53, N-ras, and TFR in PHA-stimulated cultures of PBMC, as well as of the early genes c-myc and IL2R, but not of c-fos and IL2, thus suggesting that PHA and IL2 stimulate the expression of overlapping, but nonidentical, sets of genes in PBMC.

Effect of interleukin 1 on human thymocytes and purified human T cells
Human Interleukin 1 (IL-1) purified by molecular weight fractionation, isoelectric focusing, and gel electrophoresis has been tested on human thymocytes and highly purified human T cells. IL-1 prepared in this manner could not support the long-term growth of T cells yet would augment lectin-stimulated mitogenesis. The IL-1 preparations were shown to possess the lectin-augmenting activity at dil...

Human ?-synuclein is a 140 amino acid protein with little or no secondary structure. The ?-synuclein is expressed at high levels in the brain and enriched in neural synaptic terminals but its physiological function remains largely unknown. More recently, ?-synuclein has been shown to be one of the principal componets of Lewy bodies, neuronal inclusions that are found in diverse human neurodegen...

Background: MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is upregulated during T cell activation, but the exact mechanisms by which it influences CD4+ T cell activation remain unclear. Objective: To examine whether the B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) is a target of miR-155 during naïve CD4+ T cell activation. Methods: Firefly luciferase reporter plasmids pEZX-MT01-wild-type-BTLA and pEZX-MT01-mutant-BTLA were ...
متن کاملDesialylation of T lymphocytes overcomes the monocyte dependency of pokeweed mitogen-induced T-cell activation.
Activation of T lymphocytes by pokeweed mitogen (PWM) is strictly monocyte (Mo)-dependent and results in T-cell mitogenesis and interleukin-2 (IL-2) secretion, coupled with an inability to utilize IL-2 due to an impaired expression of functional IL-2 receptor (IL-2R). Such IL-2R impairment could arise in PWM-activated T cells themselves or, alternatively, be the result of Mo-derived influences,...
