Abstract
SHP-1 protein tyrosine phosphatase is a critical negative regulator of mitogenic signaling, as demonstrated by the heightened growth responses to hematopoietic growth factors in hematopoietic cells of motheaten mice, which lack functional SHP-1 expression due to mutations in the SHP-1 gene. The mitogenic signaling molecules dephosphorylated by SHP-1 have not been fully identified. We detected two proteins (p32/p30) that are hyperphosphorylated in a DA3/erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) cell line that expresses a mutant containing the SHP-1 C-terminus that suppresses the function of the endogenous phosphatase and induces hyperproliferative responses to interleukin-3 (IL-3) and Epo. Hyperphosphorylated p32/p30 are also detected in motheaten hematopoietic cells, demonstrating an association of p32/p30 hyperphosphorylation with SHP-1-deficiency and growth factor-hyperresponsiveness. The hyperphosphorylated p32/30 associate with SHP-1 via its C-terminus, because they coimmunoprecipitate with the phosphatase and the C-terminal mutant and they bind in vitro to a synthetic peptide of the mutant but not the GST fusion proteins of SHP-1 SH2 domains. Induction of p32/p30 phosphorylation by IL-3 or Epo occurs mainly at 2 to 18 hours poststimulation in the DA3/EpoR cell line, indicating p32/p30 as novel signaling molecules during cell cycle progression. These data demonstrate a function for the SHP-1 C-terminus in recruiting potential substrates p32/p30 and suggest that SHP-1 may regulates mitogenic signaling by dephosphorylating p32/p30.

Abstract
Interleukin 2 (IL-2) rapidly induces tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular substrates, including the IL-2 receptor beta chain (IL-2Rbeta), Janus kinase 1 (Jak1), Jak3, signal transducer/activator of transcription proteins, and Shc, but the mechanism underlying dephosphorylation of these proteins is not known. The src homology 2 (SH2) containing tyrosine phosphatase 1 (SHP-1) is recruited by several hematopoietic surface receptors indicating that this phosphatase plays an important role as a regulator of signaling. We have found that IL-2 induces association of SHP-1 with the IL-2 receptor complex, and that once SHP-1 is recruited to the activated receptor it is able to decrease tyrosine phosphorylation of IL-2Rbeta and the associated tyrosine kinases Jak1 and Jak3. This dephosphorylation is specific as expression of a catalytically inactive form of SHP-1, or expression of the related phosphatase SHP-2 did not result in dephosphorylation of the IL-2 receptor components. Furthermore, we have found that SHP-1 expression is greatly decreased or undetectable in a number of IL-2 independent HTLV-I transformed T cell lines that exhibit constitutive Jak/signal transducer/activator of transcription activation. In HTLV-I infected T cells, down-regulation of SHP-1 expression was also found to correlate with the acquisition of IL-2 independence. These observations suggest that SHP-1 normally functions to antagonize the IL-2 signal transduction pathway and that HTLV-I infection and oncogenic transformation can lead to loss of SHP-1 expression resulting in constitutive activation of IL-2 regulated T cell responses.

Abstract
Disabled-2 (Dab2), a mammalian structural homolog of Drosophila Disabled (Dab), is a mitogen-responsive phosphoprotein. It has been speculated to be a negative regulator of growth since its expression is lost in ovarian carcinomas. Dab2 contains a C-terminal proline-rich domain with sequences similar to those found in Sos, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Ras. The proline-rich sequences of Sos mediate the interaction of Sos with Grb2, an adaptor protein which coupled tyrosine kinase receptors to Sos. Herein, we have investigated the possibility that Dab2 interacts with Grb2. In experiments of co-immunoprecipitation from BAC1.2F5 macrophage cell lysates, significant quantities of Grb2 were associated with both Sos and Dab2, although Dab2 and Sos were not present in the same complex. Transfection of Dab2 into a Dab2-negative cell line (293 cells) decreased the amount of Grb2 associated with Sos, suggesting that Dab2 competes with Sos for binding to Grb2. Proline-rich peptides corresponding to Dab2 (#661-669) and to Sos (#1146-1161) inhibited the binding of Dab2 to Grb2, but were less effective in disrupting the Grb2-Sos complex. The expressed proline-rich domain of Dab2 (#600-730) bound Grb2, but other regions of Dab2 failed to bind Grb2. Both of the individual SH3 domains of Grb2 bound to Sos (N-terminal SH3 domain >> C-terminal SH3 domain), but binding to Dab2 required the intact Grb2, suggesting cooperative binding using both SH3 domains of Grb2. These data indicate that Dab2 binds to the SH3 domains of Grb2 via its C-terminal proline-rich sequences. Dab2 may modulate growth factor/Ras pathways by competing with Sos for binding to Grb2.

Abstract
Expression of human alpha and long form of the beta (betaL) subunits of type I interferon receptor (IFN-R) in mouse cells is sufficient to activate the Jak-Stat pathway and to elicit an antiviral state in response to human IFNalpha2 and IFNbeta. We demonstrate herein, however, that these cells respond to the antiproliferative effects of murine IFNalphabeta but not human type I IFNs. These results suggest that an unknown species-specific component is required for the antiproliferative effect of human type I IFNs. The absence of this component can be complemented by expressing the human betaL chain truncated at amino acid 346. Thus, the distal region of betaL appears to function as a negative regulator of the growth inhibitory effects of type I IFNs. Further studies looking for possible targets of the betaL regulatory domain demonstrated that this region associates with a tyrosine phosphatase. These results suggest that a protein associated with the negative regulatory domain of betaL, likely a tyrosine phosphatase, plays a role in regulating the growth inhibitory effects of human type I IFNs.

Abstract
Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHLH) is an autosomal recessive disease with features similar to those of the murine motheaten phenotype resulting from mutations of protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1. This has raised the possibility that defects in SHP-1 or SHP-1-regulated signaling molecules may be present in FHLH. In this study, we examined SHP-1 protein and transcript in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of an FHLH family. Our results show that the FHLH patient and the parents express comparable levels of a single SHP-1 protein and that the SHP-1 cDNA clone from the patient contains no mutation in the coding region. Interestingly, a reduced association of SHP-1 with the Jak family kinase Tyk2 was detected in the patient and the defect appears to have been inherited from one of the parents. This reduced SHP-1/Tyk2 association is likely due to a defect in Tyk2 or in cellular factors regulating Tyk2, because we found no abnormalities in SHP-1 or in SHP-1 association with the other Jak kinases. These data demonstrate that the SHP-1 gene is intact in FHLH and that the defect in some cases with this disease may involve signaling molecules regulated by SHP-1.

Abstract
Caffeine was used as a metabolic probe to measure, in 120 healthy volunteers, the activities of three enzymes, deduced to be N-acetyltransferase(NAT2), CYP1A2 and xanthine oxidase (XO). The caffeine metabolites of 5-acetylamino-6-formylamino-3-methyluracil (AFMU), 1-methylxanthine(1X), 1-methyluric acid(1U), 1, 7-dimethylxanthine(17X), and 1, 7-dimethyluric acid(17U) in urine were determined with HPLC after 4-5 hours of caffeine drink. The ratios of AFMU/1X or AFMU/(AFMU + 1X + 1U), (AFMU + 1X + 1U)/17X or (AFMU + 1X + 1U)/17U, and 1U/1X or 1U/(1X + 1U) were used as the index of NAT2, CYP1A2, and XO activities respectively. Frequency distribution analysis of the metabolic ratios of NAT2 indicated two distinct group with 20 slow acetylators and 100 rapid acetylators. Similar CYP1A2 activity was found in Chinese compared with European volunteers. Frequency analysis of CYP1A2 indicated the log normal distribution in 120 Chinese. The CYP1A2 index was much higher in smokers than that in nonsmokers. But no obvious difference was observed between young and old volunteers. The XO index also showed log normal distribution and has the similar value compared with European volunteers. The concentration variations of 1X and 1U in young volunteers were much lower than that in old volunteers.

Abstract
A simple discrete time two-phenotype matrix game model is investigated. In this model, according to the suggestion of Vincent & Fisher (1988, Evolutionary Ecology 2, 321-337), the fitness of an individual is defined to be an exponential function of its expected pay-off value. The results show that : (i) in our model, the static conditions of ESS are only dependent on the properties of pay-off matrix, but not on the specific form of fitness function. This result implies that the ESS conditions on our model are completely identical with the conditions in the two-phenotype model with linear fitness function. (ii) In our model, the relationship between the static conditions of ESS and the dynamic properties of the pure strategy model is that if the interior fixed point of the pure strategy model is not an ESS-equilibrium, then it must be unstable; conversely, if the interior fixed point of the pure strategy model is an ESS-equilibrium, then it can be stable or unstable, and an unstable ESS-equilibrium must correspond to the cyclic or chaotic behaviour of the population state.

Abstract
An HPLC method for the determination of caffeine metabolites in urine was established. Shim Pack CLC-ODS column (5 microns) was eluted with the mobile phase of methanol--acetonitrile--0.05% acetic acid = 12:1:87 (v/v) at a flow rate of 1.2 ml.min-1, and the ultraviolet absorbance was monitored at 280 nm. The 13 caffeine metabolites and caffeine were well separated and the concentrations of the five metabolites, AFMU, 1U, 1X, 17U, and 17X, were determined. The recoveries of the five metabolites were above 87%, the inter- and intra-day variations were less than 3%. The concentrations of the five metabolites in 120 volunteers were determined. The ratios of the metabolites were employed for the assessment of CYP1A2, NAT, and XO enzymes successfully.

Abstract
Loss of functional hematopoietic cell phosphatase (HCP) underlies severe hematopoietic and immunologic abnormalities in mice homozygous for the motheaten and viable motheaten mutations. These mice die from pulmonary accumulation of macrophages that are regulated by macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and granulocyte (G)-M-CSF. We determined the growth response of motheaten macrophages to the two growth factors and looked for potential HCP substrates in these cells. Motheaten macrophages showed increased proliferative responses to GM-CSF but not to M-CSF, demonstrating that HCP plays a critical role in downregulating GM-CSF mitogenic signaling. Despite the heightened growth responses of the motheaten macrophages to GM-CSF, there were no marked differences between motheaten macrophages and normal controls in GM-CSF-induced phosphorylation of GM-CSFR beta, Jak2, STAT5 and MAPK, indicating that these molecules are not major HCP substrates in GM-CSF signaling. Interestingly, several markedly hyperphosphorylated proteins were detected in the motheaten macrophages, including a novel 126-kDa phosphotyrosine protein that associated with the phosphatase via its SH2 domains, suggesting that these proteins depend on HCP for dephosphorylation and may mediate the heightened growth responses to GM-CSF. Our data indicate that macrophage hypersensitivity to GM-CSF may be a major factor in motheaten pathogenesis and that HCP may dephosphorylate novel substrates critical in GM-CSF mitogenic signaling.

Abstract
SHP-1 is a protein-tyrosine phosphatase associated with inhibition of activation pathways in hematopoietic cells. The catalytic activity of SHP-1 is regulated by its two SH2 (Src homology 2) domains; phosphotyrosine peptides that bind to the SH2 domains activate SHP-1. The consensus sequence (I/V)XYXX(L/V) is present in the cytoplasmic tails of several lymphocyte receptors that interact with the second SH2 domain of SHP-1. In several of these receptors, there are two or three occurrences of the motif. Here we show that the conserved hydrophobic amino acid preceding the phosphotyrosine is critical for binding to and activation of SHP-1 by peptides corresponding to sequences from killer cell inhibitory receptors. The interaction of most SH2 domains with phosphopeptides requires only the phosphotyrosine and the three residues downstream of the tyrosine. In contrast, the shortest peptide able to bind or activate SHP-1 also included the two residues upstream of the phosphotyrosine. A biphosphopeptide corresponding to the cytoplasmic tail of a killer cell inhibitory receptor with the potential to interact simultaneously with both SH2 domains of SHP-1 was the most potent activator of SHP-1. The hydrophobic residue upstream of the tyrosine was also critical in the context of the biphosphopeptide. The contribution of a hydrophobic amino acid two residues upstream of the tyrosine in the SHP-1-binding motif may be an important feature that distinguishes inhibitory receptors from those that provide activation signals.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the value of inversion recovery half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo (IR-HASTE) MR sequences in the characterization of a variety of intracranial lesions, with the focus on differentiating between epidermoids and nonneoplastic cystic lesions. METHODS We used a 1.5-T MR unit to study five epidermoids, seven arachnoid cysts, seven other nonneoplastic cysts (three neuroepithelial cysts, two interhemispheric cysts, and two Rathke's cleft cysts), and eight solid neoplasms (three meningiomas, two astrocytomas, one subependymoma, one cavernoma, and one metastatic tumor) using IR-HASTE sequences with variable inversion times (TI). Imaging time for each section was 2 seconds for the sequence. The TI nulling values were analyzed statistically. RESULTS The TI nulling values were 1200 to 2300 for the epidermoids, 2800 to 3000 for the arachnoid cysts, 300 and 800, respectively, for the Rathke's cleft cysts, 2500 to 3000 for the other nonneoplastic cysts, and 300 to 1500 for the solid neoplasms. There was no overlap of TI nulling values between the arachnoid cysts and the epidermoids; the difference was statistically significant. Both patients with interhemispheric cysts had two lesions in which the TI nulling values were different. CONCLUSION IR-HASTE sequences provide a rapid and reliable imaging method for differentiating among epidermoids, arachnoid cysts, and solid neoplasms. This technique also provides information about the continuity of the multicystic lesions in terms of the differences in their TI nulling values. For solid intraaxial masses, the use of IR-HASTE helps to differentiate intratumoral cysts and necrosis from solid components.

Abstract
Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the protein tyrosine phosphatase CD45 is required for initiation of signal transduction through several lymphoid receptors. In contrast, there is increasing evidence that another protein tyrosine phosphatase, hemopoietic cell phosphatase (known as HCP, SHP, PTP1C, SHPTP-1, or PTPN6), is a negative regulator of signaling in hemopoietic cells. To determine the effect of HCP on signal transduction through the TCR, HCP was expressed as a chimeric molecule with extracellular and transmembrane domains of the HLA-A2 molecule (A2/HCP) on wild-type Jurkat T cells and the CD45-deficient variant, J45.01. In this report, we show that expression of A2/HCP, unlike A2 chimeras containing the enzymatic regions of CD45, fails to rescue TCR-mediated signal transduction in J45.01. Furthermore, expression of A2/HCP on wild-type Jurkat T cells results in diminished inositol phosphate production following TCR ligation as well as markedly diminished nuclear factor of activated T cells promoter activity. Surprisingly, however, TCR-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C gamma 1 remains intact in the Jurkat cells expressing the A2/HCP chimera. These experiments provide further evidence that HCP can serve a negative regulatory role in receptor-mediated signaling in immune cells. Additionally, our studies suggest that surface expression of HCP in T cells may provide a means to identify phosphotyrosine-containing proteins that are required for coupling signaling pathways initiated by ligation of the T cell Ag receptor.

Abstract
Primate alpha-chymases are mast cell neutral proteases that are involved in regulating several regulatory peptides including angiotensin II. Because of significant substrate specificity differences among the chymase group of enzymes, animal models that overexpress primate chymases are crucial for delineating the in vivo function of these enzymes. Activation of alpha-prochymase requires processing enzymes and proteoglycans found in mast cell secretory granules. Thus, the development of models overexpressing active primate chymase requires a mast cell-specific promoter. We show that the 571-base pair (bp) 5'-upstream sequence of the baboon chymase gene, which encodes an alpha-chymase, coupled to the prokaryotic lacZ gene allows the targeting of beta-galactosidase to mast cells in transgenic mice. Tissue expression of the transgene is similar to the expression of the endogenous mouse alpha-chymase mouse mast cell protease-5. A mouse mast cell line that endogenously expresses mouse mast cell protease-5 (JKras mast cells) also selectively supports the expression of this transgene. In vitro transcription studies in JKras mast cells shows the critical role of a GATA cis-regulatory motif in baboon chymase promoter, located approximately 430-bp upstream of the transcription start site. These results suggest that the 571-bp domain of the baboon chymase promoter contains most, if not all, of the mast cell-specific region of the promoter. We describe here for the first time a promoter that directs expression of transgenes specifically to mouse mast cells. This promoter should be generally applicable for dominant expression of mast cell regulatory proteins.

Abstract
SHP-1 is an SH2-containing cytoplasmic tyrosine phosphatase that is widely distributed in cells of the hematopoietic system. SHP-1 plays an important role in the signal transduction of many cytokine receptors, including the receptor for erythropoietin, by associating via its SH2 domains to the receptors and dephosphorylating key substrates. Recent studies have suggested that SHP-1 regulates the function of Jak family tyrosine kinases, as shown by its constitutive association with the Tyk2 kinase and the hyperphosphorylation of Jak kinases in the motheaten cells that lack functional SHP-1. We have examined the interactions of SHP-1 with two tyrosine kinases activated during engagement of the erythropoietin receptor, the Janus family kinase Jak-2 and the c-fps/fes kinase. Immunoblotting studies with extracts from mouse hematopoietic cells demonstrated that Jak2, but not c-fes, was present in anti-SHP-1 immunoprecipitates, suggesting that SHP-1 selectively associates with Jak2 in vivo. Consistent with this, when SHP-1 was coexpressed with these kinases in Cos-7 cells, it associated with and dephosphorylated Jak2 but not c-fes. Transient cotransfection of truncated forms of SHP-1 with Jak2 demonstrated that the SHP-1-Jak2 interaction is direct and is mediated by a novel binding activity present in the N terminus of SHP-1, independently of SH2 domain-phosphotyrosine interaction. Such SHP-1-Jak2 interaction resulted in induction of the enzymatic activity of the phosphatase in in vitro protein tyrosine phosphatase assays. Interestingly, association of the SH2n domain of SHP-1 with the tyrosine phosphorylated erythropoietin receptor modestly potentiated but was not essential for SHP-1-mediated dephosphorylation of Jak2 and had no effect on c-fes phosphorylation. These data indicate that the main mechanism for regulation of Jak2 phosphorylation by SHP-1 involves a direct, SH2-independent interaction with Jak2 and suggest the existence of similar mechanisms for other members of the Jak family of kinases. They also suggest that such interactions may provide one of the mechanisms that control SHP-1 substrate specificity.

Abstract
The c-cbl proto-oncogene product (p120cbl) forms a stable complex with the Tyk-2 protein tyrosine kinase in various human cell lines of diverse hematopoietic origin. In U-266 myeloma and 293T embryonic kidney cells, p120cbl is rapidly phosphorylated on tyrosine in an IFN alpha-dependent manner. p120cbl also acts as a specific substrate for the Tyk-2-associated SHP-1 phosphatase in vitro, suggesting that this phosphatase plays a regulatory role on the phosphorylation of the protein. These data provide evidence that p120cbl interacts with the functional Type I IFN receptor complex, and suggest its involvement in IFN alpha signaling.

Abstract
The role of cytosolic phosphotyrosine phosphatases (PTPase) in T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated signaling was investigated. PTPase activity was detected in a purified immunocomplex comprising aggregated TCR from the cell surface of Jurkat T cells. Since TCR aggregation results in phosphorylation of critical immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAM) in the TCR zeta chain, a doubly tyrosine-phosphorylated synthetic peptide containing the membrane-proximal zeta chain ITAM (zeta p ITAM) was used to characterize TCR zeta-associated PTPases. PTPase activity was detected in stable association with zeta p ITAM and the SH2 domain-containing PTPase PTP-1D (Syp, SH-PTP2) was identified in this complex. TCR stimulation resulted in increased total PTPase activity and PTP-1D protein in zeta p ITAM precipitates. TCR stimulation did not result in the tyrosine phosphorylation of PTP-1D but caused the rapid and transient tyrosine phosphorylation of a 110-120-kDa protein which associated selectively with the C-terminal SH2 domain of PTP-1D. This currently unidentified phosphotyrosine protein may be involved in localizing PTP-1D to the TCR following receptor stimulation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare contrast material-enhanced dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with helical computed tomography (CT) for the detection of small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic liver damage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty patients with chronic hepatitis or liver cirrhosis underwent dynamic contrast-enhanced fast low-angle shot MR imaging and multiple-phase helical CT. Arterial, portal-venous, and delayed-phase images were compared. Diagnostic ability with both techniques was evaluated by means of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis; images in patients with (n = 27) and those without (n = 15) HCC in whom the same anatomic levels were available for both examinations were assessed. Seventy-two lesions were evaluated, and tumor diameter ranged from 0.5 to 3.0 cm (mean, 1.9 cm). RESULTS ROC analysis showed that the arterial-phase images obtained with both techniques allowed better detection of HCC. Diagnostic ability was significantly better with arterial-phase MR imaging (mean area under the ROC curve [Az] = 0.96) than arterial-phase CT (Az = 0.87) or with images from any other phase (P < .05). For the delayed phase, diagnostic capability was significantly better with CT (Az = 0.84) than with MR imaging (Az = 0.77) (P < .05). CONCLUSION Arterial-phase dynamic MR imaging is superior to helical CT for the detection of HCC in patients with chronic liver damage.

Abstract
Cytolysis of target cells by natural killer (NK) cells and by some cytotoxic T cells occurs unless prevented by inhibitory receptors that recognize MHC class I on target cells. Human NK cells express a p58 inhibitory receptor specific for HLA-C. We report association of the tyrosine phosphatase HCP with the p58 receptor in NK cells. HCP association was dependent on tyrosine phosphorylation of p58. Phosphotyrosyl peptides corresponding to the p58 tail bound and activated HCP in vitro. Furthermore, introduction of an inactive mutant HCP into an NK cell line prevented the p58-mediated inhibition of target cell lysis. These data imply that the inhibitory function of p58 is dependent on its tyrosine phosphorylation and on recruitment and activation of HCP.

Abstract
We recently reported that phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase becomes associated with the activated erythropoietin receptor (EpR), most likely through the Src homology 2 (SH2) domains within the p85 subunit of PI-3 kinase and one or more phosphorylated tyrosines within the EpR. We have now investigated this interaction in more detail and have found, based on both blotting studies with glutathione S-transferase-p85-SH2 fusion proteins and binding of these fusion proteins to SDS-denatured EpRs, that this binding is direct. Moreover, both in vitro competition studies, involving phosphorylated peptides corresponding to the amino acid sequences flanking the eight tyrosines within the intracellular domain of the EpR, and in vivo studies with mutant EpRs bearing tyrosine to phenylalanine substitutions, indicate that phosphorylation of Tyr503 within the EpR is essential for the binding of PI 3-kinase. The presence of PI 3-kinase activity in EpR immunoprecipitates from DA-3 cells infected with wild-type but not Y503F EpRs confirms this finding. Our results demonstrate that the SH2 domains of p85 can bind, in addition to their well established Tyr-Met/Val-X-Met consensus binding sequence, a Tyr-Val-Ala-Cys motif that is present in the EpR. A comparison of erythropoietin-induced tyrosine phosphorylations and proliferation of wild-type and Y503F EpR-infected DA-3 cells revealed no differences. However, the PI-3 kinase inhibitor, wortmannin, markedly inhibited the erythropoietin-induced proliferation of both cell types, suggesting that PI 3-kinase is activated in Y503F EpR expressing cells. This was confirmed by carrying out PI 3-kinase assays with anti-phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates from erythropoietin-stimulated Y503F EpR-infected DA-3 cells and suggested that PI 3-kinase has a role in regulating erythropoietin-induced proliferation, but at a site distinct from the EpR.

Abstract
The tyrosine kinase Tyk-2 is physically associated with the Type I interferon (IFN) receptor complex and is rapidly activated during IFN alpha stimulation. We report that Tyk-2 forms stable complexes with the SH2-containing hematopoietic cell phosphatase (HCP) in several hematopoietic cell lines in vivo, and that the IFN alpha-induced tyrosine-phosphorylated form of Tyk-2 is a substrate for the phosphatase activity of HCP in in vitro assays. Furthermore, treatment of cells with the phosphatase inhibitor sodium orthovanadate induces tyrosine phosphorylation of Tyk-2 and an associated 115-kDa protein. Altogether, these data suggest that HCP regulates tyrosine phosphorylation of the Tyk-2 kinase, and thus its function may be important in the transmission of signals generated at the Type I IFN receptor level.

Abstract
Abstract
Although tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (T-TIL) from B cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma patients contain tumor-reactive T cells, they display poor proliferation and IFN-gamma production when stimulated through the TCR-CD3. To determine if there was altered signaling linked to TCR-CD3 ligation, tyrosine phosphorylation was examined in T-TIL because it represents an early and critical event in T cell activation. After stimulation with anti-CD3 Ab, Western blotting with anti-phosphotyrosine showed reduced phosphorylation in T-TIL when compared with peripheral blood-derived T cells from normal individuals. The altered phosphorylation was not due to the reduced expression of signaling elements linked to the TCR-CD3 complex. T-TIL expressed normal levels of CD3 epsilon, TCR zeta chain, and the three tyrosine kinases, p56lck (Lck), p59fyn, and ZAP-70. However, in T-TIL, anti-Lck Ab reacted with a 60-kDa protein, which appears to be the phosphorylated form of Lck. Binding of anti-Lck Ab to the 60-kDa protein was blocked by Lck peptide. In addition, anti-Lck Ab immunoprecipitated a phosphorylated 60-kDa protein from gamma-32P-labeled T-TIL that was not seen in normal resting T cells. In vitro kinase assay studies also demonstrated that TCR-CD3 engagement increased the kinase activity of Lck in normal T cells but not in T-TIL. These results suggest that although T-TIL from B cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma patients contain the signal transduction molecules associated with TCR-CD3 activation pathway, they are impaired in tyrosine phosphorylation and Lck activity, which may contribute to the functional defects of these cells.
