چکیده

Binding of the anti-cluster of differentiation (CD) 2 monoclonal antibody 9-1 causes an increase in the concentration of cytoplasmic-free calcium ([Ca2+]i) in cultured CD3-/CD16+ natural killer (NK) cells. This response did not occur in cultured CD3+/CD16- cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Anti-CD16 antibodies could partially block the calcium response when NK cells were stimulated with intact antibody 9-1, and antigen-binding fragment F(ab')2 of antibody 9-1 did not produce a calcium response. Thus an interaction of the 9-1 antibody with CD16 Fc receptors was required for the functional effect. The dual interaction of antibody 9-1 with both CD2 and CD16 was demonstrated by comodulation experiments. The cytolytic activity of cultured NK cells was increased by antibody 9-1 but not by F(ab')2 fragments of antibody 9-1. The enhanced lytic activity was blocked by anti-CD16 antibody, anti-CD18 antibody, and anti-CD2 antibodies that do not block the binding of antibody 9-1. This pattern was distinct from antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity which was blocked only by the anti-CD16 antibody. Thus antibody 9-1 enhanced cytotoxicity by activating effector cells. There was no enhancement of lytic activity when F(ab')2 of antibody 9-1 were cross-linked with a polyclonal antiglobulin, even though [Ca2+]i was increased. These results show that induction of a [Ca2+]i response is not sufficient to enhance lytic activity in NK cells, and suggest that signals delivered through CD16 are necessary.

Signal transduction by the CD2 antigen in T cells and natural killer cells: requirement for expression of a functional T cell receptor or binding of antibody Fc to the Fc receptor, Fc gamma RIIIA (CD16)

Crosslinking of CD2 antigen on T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells leads to a rise in cytoplasmic-free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). However, CD2 seems unlikely to interact directly with the second messenger pathways since signaling via CD2 is poor in T cells that lack the T cell receptor (TCR) and is absent in L cells or insect cells that express CD2. In contrast, NK cells that are als...

Stimulation of Fc gamma RIIIA results in phospholipase C-gamma 1 tyrosine phosphorylation and p56lck activation

Binding of ligand to the alpha subunit of Fc gamma RIIIA(CD16), expressed at the natural killer (NK) cell membrane in association with homo or heterodimers of proteins of the zeta family, results in phosphorylation of several proteins on tyrosine residues. We have analyzed the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in the regulation of molecular events induced upon stimulation of Fc gamma RII...

Vav in natural killer cells is tyrosine phosphorylated upon cross-linking of Fc gamma RIIIA and is constitutively associated with a serine/threonine kinase.

Cross-linking of Fc gamma RIIIA (CD16) receptor on natural killer (NK) cells induces receptor-associated tyrosine kinase activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of numerous intracellular proteins, including phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 1, PLC-gamma 2 and the associated zeta chain. Here we report that Vav, a proto-oncogene, also became tyrosine phosphorylated upon stimulation of CD16 in interleuk...

T cell receptor-independent CD2 signal transduction in FcR+ cells

CD2 subserves both adhesion and signal transduction functions in T cells, thymocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells. In mature T lymphocytes, CD2-mediated signaling function apparently requires surface expression of T cell receptors (TCRs). In contrast, in CD2+ CD3- NK cells and thymocytes, signal transduction through CD2 is TCR independent. To resolve this paradox and characterize TCR-independ...

Signal transduction mechanisms in human natural killer cells mediating antitumor immunity.

The spontaneous cytotoxicity of normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is mediated by a subset of lymphocytes called natural killer (NK) cells. Unlike other cytotoxic lymphocytes, which require prior sensitization by the specific antigen to which they are programmed to respond, single NK cells are ?irectly cytotoxic to a wide variety of mahgnant cells without prior exposure. Ne...
