Differential implication of protein kinase C isoforms in cytotoxic T lymphocyte degranulation and TCR-induced Fas ligand expression

Abstract: CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones are able to exert both perforin- and Fas-dependent cytotoxicity. We show in the present work that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors wortmannin and LY294002 prevent TCR/CD3-induced functional Fas ligand (FasL) expression, but not perforin-dependent cytotoxicity. The specific inhibitor of classical protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms, Gö6976, completely inhibited perforin-dependent cytotoxicity and only affected slightly TCR/CD3-induced FasL expression, while … Show more

“…Because CTL also can kill via FasL-mediated crosslinking of Fas on other cells (28,30), we assessed the FasL expression on cells from WT and KO mice. Preimmune CD8 + T cells from KO mice expressed modestly higher FasL levels on the cell surface than did cells from WT mice, but their intracellular FasL expression was more than 40-fold higher (Fig.…”

“…Degranulation, but not all CTLmediated killing, is inhibited with extracellular Ca 2ϩ depletion (10,24). Additionally, perforin-dependent cytotoxicity is classical protein kinase C-dependent, whereas TCR-CD3-induced FasL expression is not (25). In another study, a CTL clone that failed to mobilize intracellular Ca 2ϩ after TCR engagement was unable to kill via the degranulation mechanism of killing, yet was still able to kill via the FasL/Fas mechanism in an Agspecific manner (26).…”
