Molecular mechanisms of extracellular adenine nucleotides-mediated inhibition of human Cd4+ T lymphocytes activation

Molecular mechanisms of extracellular adenine nucleotides-mediated inhibition of human Cd4+ T... We have previously reported that ATPγS, a slowly hydrolyzed analog of ATP, inhibits the activation of human CD4+ T lymphocytes by anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAb. In this report we have partially characterized the signaling mechanisms involved in this immunosuppressive effect. ATPγS had no inhibitory effect on CD4+ T-cell activation induced by PMA and anti-CD28, indicating that it acts proximally to the TCR. It had no effect on the calcium rise induced by CD3/CD28 stimulation, but inhibited the phosphorylation of three kinases, ERK2, p38 MAPK and PKB, that play a key role in the activation of T cells. The receptor involved in these actions remains unidentified. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Purinergic Signalling Springer Journals

Abstract

We have previously reported that ATPγS, a slowly hydrolyzed analog of ATP, inhibits the activation of human CD4+ T lymphocytes by anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAb. In this report we have partially characterized the signaling mechanisms involved in this immunosuppressive effect. ATPγS had no inhibitory effect on CD4+ T-cell activation induced by PMA and anti-CD28, indicating that it acts proximally to the TCR. It had no effect on the calcium rise induced by CD3/CD28 stimulation, but inhibited the phosphorylation of three kinases, ERK2, p38 MAPK and PKB, that play a key role in the activation of T cells. The receptor involved in these actions remains unidentified.
