Abstract
Basic science research in hematology has been determining the functions of gene products using classical approaches that typically involve studying one or a few genes at a time. Proteomics, defined as the study of protein properties on a large scale, provides tools to globally analyze malignant hematologic cells. A major challenge in cancer therapy is the identification of drugs that kill tumor cells while preserving normal cells. Differential display via proteomics enables analysis of direct as well as side-effects of drugs at a molecular level. Proteomics also allows a better understanding of cell signaling pathways involved during apoptosis in hematologic cells. Storing the information in a 2D electrophoresis database enhances the efficiency of proteome research on malignant cells. Finally, the work needed to be carried out on proteomic analysis prior to routine clinical adoption is discussed, and the necessity for multi-institutional collaborations is emphasized.

PLoS One 2010; 5:e12720.

Abstract
Previously, we reported that Galactoxylomannan (GalXM) activates the extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways through an interaction with the glycoreceptors on T cells. In this study we establish the role of the glycoreceptor CD45 in GalXM-induced T cell apoptosis, using CD45(+/+) and CD45(-/-) cell lines, derived from BW5147 murine T cell lymphoma. Our results show that whereas CD45 expression is not required for GalXM association by the cells, it is essential for apoptosis induction. In CD45(+/+) cells, CD45 triggering by GalXM reduces the activation of Lck, ZAP70 and Erk1/2. Conversely, in CD45(-/-) cells, Lck was hyperphosphorylated and did not show any modulation after GalXM stimulation. On the whole, our findings provide evidence that the negative regulation of Lck activation occurs via CD45 engagement. This appears to be related to the capacity of GalXM to antagonize T cell activation and induce T cell death. Overall this mechanism may be responsible for the immune paralysis that follows GalXM administration and could explain the powerful immunosuppression that accompanies cryptococcosis.

Abstract
CD45 is a transmembrane molecule with phosphatase activity expressed in all nucleated haematopoietic cells and plays a major role in immune cells. It is a protein tyrosine phosphatase that is essential for antigen-receptor-mediated signal transduction by regulating Src family members that initiate TCR signaling. CD45 is being attributed a new emerging role as an apoptosis regulator. Cross-linking of the extracellular portion of the CD45 by monoclonal antibodies and by galectin-1, can induce apoptosis in T and B cells. Interestingly, this phosphatase has also been involved in nuclear apoptosis induced by mitochondrial perturbing agents. Furthermore, it is involved in apoptosis induced by HIV-1. CD45 defect is implicated in various diseases such as severe-combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), lymphoma and multiple myelomas. The understanding of the mechanisms by which CD45 regulates apoptosis would be very useful in disease treatment.

Abstract
Although the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) is rapidly assembled, several lines of evidence suggest that formation of this complex is not the first consequence of cell surface CD95 (Fas) stimulation but rather a later step in this process. Activation of Fas triggers a cascade of signaling events that culminate in cellular apoptosis. Tyrosine kinases are critical effectors in T cell activation. However, their functional involvement in death receptor-mediated apoptosis is unknown. Here, we used p56(Lck)-deficient cells to show that CD95-induced cell death is highly dependent on p56(Lck) activity and its localization within plasma membrane. We found that p56(Lck) acts upstream of the mitochondria; in the absence of p56(Lck), Bid cleavage and the release of cytochrome c were severely impaired. Moreover, p56(Lck)-deficient cells or cells expressing an inactive form of p56(Lck) displayed defective formation of the DISC post CD95 stimulation. In vivo reconstitution of thymocytes from p56(lck)-deficient mice, which are resistant to apoptosis, with p56(Lck) restored Fas-mediated cell death. Our results support a novel model whereby sensitivity to apoptosis is regulated through quantitative changes in the stoichiometry of DISC components triggered by p56(Lck) activation and localization.

Abstract
Proapoptotic stimuli, such as CD95 ligand and hydrophobic bile acids induce an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-catalyzed tyrosine phosphorylation of CD95-death receptor in hepatocytes, as a prerequisite for CD95-translocation to the plasma membrane, formation of the death-inducing signalling complex and execution of apoptotic cell death. However, the molecular role played by CD95 tyrosine phosphorylation remained unclear. The present study shows that CD95-tyrosine phosphorylation is required for CD95-oligomerization. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-analysis in Huh7 hepatoma cells, which were cotransfected with CD95-YFP/CD95-CFP revealed that stimulation of these cells with CD95 ligand, proapoptotic bile acids or hyperosmolarity resulted within 30 min in an intracellular FRET-signal, suggestive for CD95/CD95-oligomerization. After 120 min the FRET-signal was detected in the plasma membrane, indicating translocation of the CD95/CD95-oligomer to the plasma membrane. CD95/CD95-oligomerization was abolished in presence of AG1478 or a JNK-inhibitory peptide, i.e. maneuvers known to prevent EGFR-catalyzed CD95-tyrosine phosphorylation. Transfection studies with YFP/CFP-coupled CD95-mutants, which contain tyrosine/phenylalanine-exchanges in positions 232 and 291 (CD95(Y232,291F)), revealed that at least one tyrosine (Y(232,291))-phosphorylated CD95 is required for CD95/CD95-oligomerization. FRET-studies in mouse embryonic fibroblasts, which in contrast to Huh7 express endogenous CD95, revealed that EGF, but not CD95L induced EGFR-homomerization, whereas CD95 ligand, but not EGF resulted in EGFR/CD95-heteromerization. These findings suggest that EGFR-catalyzed CD95-tyrosine phosphorylation is involved in the CD95/CD95-oligomerization process, which is induced by proapoptotic stimuli and is required for apoptosis induction.

Abstract
The molecular mechanism of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gp120-induced apoptosis of bystander T cells is not well defined. Here, we demonstrate that CD45, a key component of the T cell receptor pathway, plays a crucial role in apoptosis induced by HIV-1 gp120. We observed that HIV-1 gp120-induced apoptosis was significantly reduced in a CD45-deficient cell line and that reconstitution of CD45 in these cells restored gp120-induced apoptosis. However, expression of a chimeric protein containing only the intracellular phosphatase domain was not able to restore the apoptotic function in the CD45-negative clone, indicating an important role for the extracellular domain of CD45 in this function. The role of CD45 in gp120-induced apoptosis was further confirmed in T cell lines and peripheral blood mononuclear cells using a selective CD45 inhibitor as well as CD45-specific small interfering RNA. We also observed that gp120 treatment induced CD45 association with the HIV coreceptor CXCR4. Further elucidation of downstream signaling events revealed that CD45 modulates HIV-1 gp120-induced apoptosis by regulating Fas ligand induction and activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt pathway. These results suggest a novel CD45-mediated mechanism for the HIV envelope-induced apoptosis of T cells.

Abstract
Mithramycin A (MMA, trade name Plicamycin) can facilitate TNFalpha- (Tumor Necrosis Factor) and Fas ligand-induced apoptosis. Besides, several drugs play their anticancer effect through Fas apoptotic pathway. So we investigated the effect of MMA on Fas signaling. In this study we show that MMA induces apoptosis in Fas sensitive Jurkat cells and Fas resistant KG1a cells. This effect involves Fas apoptotic pathway: cell exposure to MMA leads to Fas clustering at the cell surface, DISC (Death Inducing Signaling Complex) formation and caspase cleavage. This phenomenon is independent of Fas ligand/Fas interaction and blockade of Fas death pathway partially inhibits MMA-induced apoptosis. Moreover the activation of Fas apoptotic pathway by MMA is correlated to the modulation of c-Flip(L) expression. Finally, pre-treatment with sub-lethal doses of MMA sensitizes KG1a cells to chemotherapeutic agents. Thus all these results may have important implications to improve clinical treatments.

Abstract
Induction of apoptosis is a hallmark of the cellular response of human lymphocytes and lymphoma cells to treatment with anticancer drugs and irradiation. Both treatment modalities trigger apoptosis through intrinsic, mitochondrial apoptosis pathways resulting in the activation of caspases. We and others have shown that the tyrosine kinase p56/Lck is involved in the regulation of apoptosis induced by irradiation or treatment with ceramide but dispensable for death receptor triggered cell death. However, the role of p56/Lck for apoptosis induction in response to anticancer drugs is unclear. To elucidate the putative requirement of p56/Lck for apoptosis signaling of cytotoxic drugs, activation of caspases and alteration of mitochondrial functions were determined in Jurkat T cells, the p56/Lck deficient JCaM1.6 cells and the p56/Lck retransfected JCaM1.6/Lck cells in response to chemotherapeutic drugs with different targets of their primary action. Treatment with Doxorubicin, Paclitaxel or 5-Fluorouracil induced a breakdown of the mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptotic cell death in p56/Lck expressing Jurkat and the retransfected JCaM1.6/Lck cells within 48h of treatment. However, almost no mitochondrial alterations and no induction of apoptosis could be detected in the p56/Lck deficient JCaM1.6 cells. Correspondingly, activation of caspases-9, -8, and -3 and cleavage of the caspase-3 substrate PARP (poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase) were almost completely absent in JCaM1.6 cells while present in p56/Lck positive Jurkat and JCaM1.6/Lck cells. In contrast, retransfection of the cells with the p56/Lck-related tyrosine kinase Src could not restore sensitivity to the treatment with cytotoxic drugs indicating a specific role of the tyrosine kinase p56/Lck in apoptosis signaling. Importantly, kinase-activity of p56/Lck may be dispensable for its pro-apoptoptic action since preincubation with the Src-kinase inhibitor PP2 did not reduce apoptosis induced by cytotoxic drugs. In conclusion, the tyrosine kinase p56/Lck is essential for apoptosis induction by Doxorubicin, Paclitaxel and 5-Fluorouracil regulating early steps of the mitochondrial apoptosis signaling cascade, including alteration of mitochondrial functions and caspase-activation.

Abstract
Proteinase-activated receptor 1 (PAR1)-mediated inflammation remains poorly understood. Here we characterize previously unrecognized effects of PAR1-induced apoptosis signaling, which contributes to epithelial barrier dysfunction. Incubation of epithelial cells with PAR1 agonists induced apoptosis and increased epithelial permeability in a caspase-3-dependent manner. Similarly, studies in vivo demonstrated that intracolonic infusion with PAR1 agonists increased colonic permeability in mice, and that this effect was abolished by pretreatment with a caspase-3 inhibitor. PAR1 agonists induced tight junctional zonula-occludens 1 disruption and apoptotic nuclear condensation. Investigation into signaling pathways showed that these effects were dependent on caspase-3, tyrosine kinase, and myosin light chain kinase. Conversely, the Src kinase inhibitor PP1 augmented zonula-occludens 1 injury and nuclear condensation induced by PAR1 agonists. These results support a role for proteinases and PARs in intestinal disease and provide new directions for possible therapeutic applications of PAR1 antagonists.

Abstract
Regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation is a critical control point for integration of environmental signals into cellular responses. This regulation is mediated by the reciprocal actions of protein tyrosine kinases and phosphatases. CD45, the first and prototypic receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase, is expressed on all nucleated hematopoietic cells and plays a central role in this process. Studies of CD45 mutant cell lines, CD45-deficient mice, and CD45-deficient humans initially demonstrated the essential role of CD45 in antigen receptor signal transduction and lymphocyte development. It is now known that CD45 also modulates signals emanating from integrin and cytokine receptors. Recent work has focused on regulation of CD45 expression and alternative splicing, isoform-specific differences in signal transduction, and regulation of phosphatase activity. From these studies, a model is emerging in which CD45 affects cellular responses by controlling the relative threshold of sensitivity to external stimuli. Perturbation of this function may contribute to autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, and malignancy. Moreover, recent advances suggest that modulation of CD45 function can have therapeutic benefit in many disease states.

Abstract
Fluorescence-labeled soluble major histocompatibility complex class I-peptide "tetramers" constitute a powerful tool to detect and isolate antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells by flow cytometry. Conventional "tetramers" are prepared by refolding of heavy and light chains with a specific peptide, enzymatic biotinylation at an added C-terminal biotinylation sequence, and "tetramerization" by reaction with phycoerythrin- or allophycocyanin-labeled avidin derivatives. We show here that such preparations are heterogeneous and describe a new procedure that allows the preparation of homogeneous tetra- or octameric major histocompatibility complex-peptide complexes. These compounds were tested on T1 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), which recognize the Plasmodium berghei circumsporzoite peptide 252-260 (SYIPSAEKI) containing photoreactive 4-azidobenzoic acid on Lys(259) in the context of H-2K(d). We report that mutation of the CD8 binding site of K(d) greatly impairs the binding of tetrameric but not octameric or multimeric K(d)-PbCS(ABA) complexes to CTLs. This mutation abolishes the ability of the octamer to elicit significant phosphorylation of CD3, intracellular calcium mobilization, and CTL degranulation. Remarkably, however, this octamer efficiently activates CTLs for Fas (CD95)-dependent apoptosis.

Abstract
The induction of apoptosis requires the activation of a highly coordinated signaling network ultimately leading to the activation of caspases. In previous experiments we and others have shown that the tyrosine kinase Lck is required for adequate apoptosis induction in response to ionizing radiation, ceramide incubation and overexpression of the HIV-TAT protein. However, the position of Lck within given apoptotic signaling cascades remains unclear. We therefore aimed to define the role of Lck during radiation-induced apoptosis. Apoptosis induction in response to ionizing radiation, CD95 or TRAIL receptor stimulation was determined in Jurkat T-cells, the Lck-deficient Jurkat clone JCaM1.6- and Lck-retransfected JCaM1.6/Lck. No apoptosis, release of cytochrome c, breakdown of the mitochondrial potential were detectable during the first 48 h after irradiation of JCaM1.6 cells. In parallel, no activation of caspase-9, -8 and -3 was detectable. Since mitochondrial apoptosis pathways act within a feedback mechanism during death-receptor-mediated apoptosis, the influence of the Lck defect on CD95/Fas/Apo-1-L or TRAIL-induced apoptosis was also tested. Both stimuli induced apoptosis in Lck-deficient cells. However, the kinetics of apoptosis induction determined by caspase-8, -9 and -3 activation as well as deltapsi(m) breakdown was slowed. We conclude that the Lck deficiency influences early steps during radiation-induced mitochondrial alterations.

Abstract
CD95 (APO-1/Fas) is a prototype death receptor characterized by the presence of an 80 amino acid death domain in its cytoplasmic tail. This domain is essential for the recruitment of a number of signaling components upon activation by either agonistic anti-CD95 antibodies or cognate CD95 ligand that initiate apoptosis. The complex of proteins that forms upon triggering of CD95 is called the death-inducting signaling complex (DISC). The DISC consists of an adaptor protein and initiator caspases and is essential for induction of apoptosis. A number of proteins have been reported to regulate formation or activity of the DISC. This review discusses recent developments in this area of death receptor research.

Abstract
A rapid and quantitative flow cytometric method simultaneously identifying cells that incorporated a gene of interest in a transient electroporation and discriminating between dead, live and apoptotic states in a single measurement is presented. An expression vector encoding the gene of interest was cotransfected with a plasmid carrying the green fluorescent protein (GFP). Subsequently, the cultured cells were stained with 7-amino-actinomycin D (7-AAD) without fixation and were subjected to a multivariate analysis. The value of the method and its high reproducibility were demonstrated on Jurkat cells. Those cells were transiently transfected with a construct expressing a short C-terminal fragment of presenilin 1 (PS1-f) known to show anti-apoptotic properties. The PS1-f gene was under the control of the tetracycline-responsive transactivator.

Abstract
Apoptosis or programmed cell death can be induced by a variety of stimuli including activation of death receptors. This subgroup of the TNF/NGF-receptor-superfamily activates caspases, a family of aspartyl-specific cysteine-proteases, which are the main executioners of apoptosis. Depending on the cell type, signalling pathways downstream of the death receptors can be modulated by different proteins such as Bcl-2, FLIPs, chaperones and kinases. Deregulation of apoptosis has been associated with diseases as cancer, autoimmunity and AIDS. Therefore, the identification of modulators of apoptosis has several therapeutic implications.

Abstract
The effects of four endometrial cytokines, transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), on Fas-mediated apoptosis in the human endometrial epithelial cell line, HHUA, were investigated. Although the cell growth of HHUA was not directly affected by TGF-beta1, IL-1beta, or EGF, pretreatment of HHUA with TGF-beta1, IL-1beta, or EGF enhanced Fas-mediated growth suppression and Fas-mediated DNA fragmentation in the cells. Flow cytometric analyses demonstrated that TGF-beta1, IL-1beta, and EGF did not induce Fas expression on the cell surface. These results suggest that TGF-beta1, IL-1beta, and EGF enhances apoptotic susceptibility of the cells. However, HGF inhibited Fas-mediated growth suppression and DNA fragmentation in the cells without any increase in Fas antigen expression on the cells. This finding suggests that HGF suppresses apoptotic susceptibility of the cells. From these results, we conclude that the endometrial cytokines may play a role in reshaping the endometrium after menstruation or in regulating apoptotic susceptibility in endometrial epithelium in the mid- to late-secretory period.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been reported to regulate apoptosis in various cell lineages. Throughout the menstrual cycle overexpression of the EGF receptor in the secretory epithelium and constitutive expression of EGF in all types of endometrial cells were identified by immunohistochemical study of normal human endometrial tissues. However, it is not known whether EGF also regulates endometrial apoptosis. This study examined the regulatory functions of EGF in endometrial apoptosis by using a human endometrial epithelial cell line HHUA which is susceptible to Fas-mediated apoptosis. Although EGF alone did not affect the cell growth of HHUA, EGF pretreatment of HHUA enhanced Fas-mediated growth suppression and Fas-mediated DNA fragmentation in the cells. Flowcytometric analyses demonstrated that EGF did not induce Fas expression on the cell surface while expressions of the EGF receptor were down-regulated. These results suggest that EGF may enhance apoptotic susceptibility of the endometrial epithelium, especially in the secretory epithelium.

Abstract
CD4 cross-linking by HIV gp120 triggers CD4+ T cell death. Several authors have suggested that this effect is mediated by CD95, but this possibility is debated by other authors. In a previous work, we found by co-capping that gp120(451) and gp120MN, but not gp120(IIIB), induce lateral association of CD4 with CD95 on the T cell surface. In this work, we used fluorescence resonance energy transfer to confirm that CD4/CD95 lateral association is induced by gp120(451), but not gp120(IIIB). Moreover, we found that gp120 ability to induce the CD4/CD95 association correlates with ability to induce cell death, since gp120(451) and gp120MN induced higher levels of cell death than did gp120(IIIB) in PHA-derived CD4+ T cell lines. CD95 involvement in gp120-induced cell death was confirmed by showing that gp120(451) and gp120MN did not induce death in CD4+ T cells derived from patients with autoimmune/lymphoproliferative disease (ALD) and decreased CD95 function. Cell death induced by gp120MN was inhibited by a recombinant CD95/IgG.Fc molecule blocking the CD95/CD95L interaction. However, inhibition was late and only partial. These data suggest that the gp120-induced CD4/CD95 association exerts a dual effect: an early effect that is independent of CD95L and may be due to direct triggering of CD95 by gp120, and a late effect that may be due to sensitization of CD95 to triggering by CD95L. In line with the former effect, cell treatment with gp120MN activated caspase 3 in the presence of Fas/IgG.Fc, which shows that cell death induced by gp120MN independently of CD95L uses the same pathway as CD95.

Abstract
Apoptosis of mature T lymphocytes preserves peripheral homeostasis and tolerance by countering the profound changes in the number and types of T cells stimulated by diverse antigens. T cell apoptosis occurs in at least two major forms: antigen-driven and lymphokine withdrawal. These forms of death are controlled in response to local levels of IL-2 and antigen in a feedback mechanism termed propriocidal regulation. Active antigen-driven death is mediated by the expression of death cytokines such as FasL and TNF. These death cytokines engage specific receptors that assemble caspase-activating protein complexes. These signaling complexes tightly regulate cell death but are vulnerable to inherited defects. Passive lymphokine withdrawal death may result from the cytoplasmic activation of caspases that is regulated by mitochondria and the Bcl-2 protein. The human disease, Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS) is due to dominant-interfering mutations in the Fas/APO-1/CD95 receptor and other components of the death pathway. The study of ALPS patients reveals the necessity of apoptosis for preventing autoimmunity and allows the genetic investigation of apoptosis in humans. Immunological, cellular, and molecular evidence indicates that throughout the life of a T cell, apoptosis may be evoked in excessive, harmful, or useless clonotypes to preserve a healthy and balanced immune system.

Abstract
Most cases of early onset familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) involve mutations in presenilins (PS1 and PS2) genes. The C-terminal portion of PS2 is a homologue with an apoptosis-linked gene (ALG-3). To characterise the role of PS1 in apoptosis, we overexpressed the corresponding C-terminal fragment of PS1 (PS1-f) under the control of the tetracycline-responsive transactivator in Jurkat cells. The tight regulation of the expression of the 11 kDa PS1-f peptide was verified. A 50% inhibition of anti-Fas induced apoptosis was observed upon PS1-f transient overexpression compared to the repressed state. Stable transfectants selectively overexpressing PS1-f revealed a transient protective effect of 30% after apoptosis induction.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in cell death induced by many different stimuli. This study shows that hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis in T-cells did not require tyrosine kinase p561ck, phosphatase CD45, the CD95 receptor and its associated Caspase-8. H2O2-triggered cell death led to the induced cleavage and activation of Caspase-3. Hydrogen peroxide-treatment of T-cells resulted in the formation of mitochondrial permeability transition pores, a rapid decrease of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential delta psi(m) and the release of Cytochrome C. Inhibition of the mitochondrial permeability transition by bongkrekic acid (BA), or interference with the mitochondrial electron transport system by rotenone or menadione prevented the cytotoxic effect of H2O2. Antimycin A, a mitochondrial inhibitor that increases the release of mitochondrial ROS (MiROS), enhanced apoptosis. Overexpression of Bcl-2 and the viral anti-apoptotic proteins BHRF-1 and E1B 19K counteracted H2O2-induced apoptosis. Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of transcription factor NF-kappaB protected cells from hydrogen peroxide-elicited cell death. This detrimental effect of NF-kappaB mediating hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death presumably relies on the induced expression of death effector genes such as p53, which was NF-kappaB-dependently upregulated in the presence of H2O2.

Abstract
Abstract
This study describes a form of partial agonism for a CD8+CTL clone, S15, in which perforin-dependent killing and IFN-γ production were lost but Fas (APO1 or CD95)-dependent cytotoxicity preserved. Cloned S15 CTL are H-2Kd restricted and specific for a photoreactive derivative of the Plasmodium berghei circumsporozoite peptide PbCS 252–260 (SYIPSAEKI). The presence of a photoactivatable group in the epitope permitted assessment of TCR-ligand binding by TCR photoaffinity labeling. Selective activation of Fas-dependent killing was observed for a peptide-derivative variant containing a modified photoreactive group. A similar functional response was obtained after binding of the wild-type peptide derivative upon blocking of CD8 participation in TCR-ligand binding. The epitope modification or blocking of CD8 resulted in an ≥8-fold decrease in TCR-ligand binding. In both cases, phosphorylation of ζ-chain and ZAP-70, as well as calcium mobilization were reduced close to background levels, indicating that activation of Fas-dependent cytotoxicity required weaker TCR signaling than activation of perforin-dependent killing or IFN-γ production. Consistent with this, we observed that depletion of the protein tyrosine kinase p56lck by preincubation of S15 CTL with herbimycin A severely impaired perforin- but not Fas-dependent cytotoxicity. Together with the observation that S15 CTL constitutively express Fas ligand, these results indicate that TCR signaling too weak to elicit perforin-dependent cytotoxicity or cytokine production can induce Fas-dependent cytotoxicity, possibly by translocation of preformed Fas ligand to the cell surface.

Abstract
Activated cell-mediated immunity, associated for example with HIV infection, is accompanied by elevated concentrations of neopterin and 7,8-dihydroneopterin. Recent data have indicated a role of neopterin derivatives in virus activation and apoptotic cell death, processes likely to involve the action of oxygen free radicals. Because T cell death in AIDS is likely to involve the Fas/Fas ligand system and the action of oxygen free radicals and 7,8-dihydroneopterin, we compared the kinetics and sensitivity of apoptotic cell death of human leukemic Jurkat T cells to that of treatments with 7,8-dihydroneopterin, anti-Fas, and H2O2. Upon incubation with 5 mM 7,8-dihydroneopterin and 50 microM hydrogen peroxide over a period of 24 hr, bimodal kinetics were observed with peaks at 5.5 hr (7,8-dihydroneopterin, 13.1%; H2O2, 11.4%) and at 24 hr (7,8-dihydroneopterin, 11.2%; H2O2, 13.2%). In contrast, anti-Fas (20 ng/mL)-induced apoptosis increased steadily over time, peaking at 11 hr (43.2%). Interestingly, anti-Fas-induced apoptosis was suppressed upon co-incubation with 7,8-dihydroneopterin and H2O2 by 62% and 68%, respectively. We also compared the sensitivity to drug treatments of apoptosis induced by 7,8-dihydroneopterin, anti-Fas antibodies, and H2O2. 7,8-Dihydroneopterin-mediated, and similarly anti-Fas- and H2O2-mediated, apoptosis was not inhibited by a broad range of pharmacological inhibitors, such as actinomycin D, cycloheximide, cyclosporin A, and various protein kinase inhibitors. On the contrary, inhibitors with antioxidant abilities, such as pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate, significantly blocked 7,8-dihydroneopterin-, H2O2- as well as anti-Fas-mediated apoptosis. These results imply that 7,8-dihydroneopterin-, H2O2-, and anti-Fas-mediated cell death might involve related redox sensitive signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
Abstract
Fas ligand/Fas receptor molecular interactions have been implicated as having an important function for the regulation of eosinophil apoptosis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate biochemical events triggered by the engagement of the Fas receptor in freshly isolated human and mouse eosinophils. Activation of the Fas receptor on eosinophils with the agonistic anti-Fas monoclonal antibody (MoAb) resulted in increased tyrosine phosphorylation of several intracellular proteins. The tyrosine kinase inhibitors lavendustin A and genistein inhibited Fas receptor-induced cell death in both human and mouse eosinophils in vitro and prevented, at least partially, Fas receptor-mediated resolution of eosinophilic inflammation in a mouse in vivo model of lung eosinophilia. In addition, in freshly purified human eosinophils, lavendustin A prevented anti-Fas MoAb-induced proteolytic cleavage of lamin B, suggesting that tyrosine kinases may amplify the proteolytic signaling cascade within interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE) family proteases. Moreover, the tyrosine kinase Lyn was identified as being involved in Fas receptor-mediated cell death. Collectively, these results demonstrate that tyrosine phosphorylation is an important step in the generation of the Fas receptor-linked transmembrane death signal in eosinophils and that Lyn participates in this pathway.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent activation of the Ras signal transduction cascade is essential for induction of the IL-2 promoter during stimulation of T lymphocytes via the T cell receptor (TCR). In this study, the effects of PKC-activating phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) on Ras-dependent activation of transcription from the ets/AP-1 Ras-responsive promoter element were examined in human T cells. Pretreatment of Jurkat cells with the Src-family PTK inhibitor herbimycin A resulted in a 50% inhibition of transactivation of the reporter following incubation with PMA. Evidence was also obtained to suggest the participation of the leukocyte-specific protein tyrosine phosphatase CD45, a regulator of Src-like PTKs, in the PMA-induced activation of the Ras/Raf pathway. First, PMA-induced transactivation of ets/AP-1 is diminished 75% in CD45-negative variants, compared with CD45-positive cells. Second, engagement of CD45 by monoclonal antibodies suppresses the PMA response from the reporter construct. Taken together, these data suggest that Src-related proteins mediate PKC-dependent activation of the Ras/Raf pathway and implicate CD45 in the TCR-independent activation of T lymphocytes induced by agents such as PMA.

Abstract
Src family protein tyrosine kinases are activated following engagement of many different classes of cellular receptors and participate in signaling pathways that control a diverse spectrum of receptor-induced biological activities. While several of these kinases have evolved to play distinct roles in specific receptor pathways, there is considerable redundancy in the functions of these kinases, both with respect to the receptor pathways that activate these kinases and the downstream effectors that mediate their biological activities. This chapter reviews the evidence implicating Src family kinases in specific receptor pathways and describes the mechanisms leading to their activation, the targets that interact with these kinases, and the biological events that they regulate.

Abstract
HIV-gp120 sensitizes Th1 clones from seronegative donors to apoptosis, which occurs through two distinct events: expression of CD95L followed by its interaction with CD95 to trigger cell death. gp120-apoptosis of the Th1 clone 103 was inhibited by Cyclosporin A, the PTK inhibitors Genistein and PNU152518, as well as the anti-oxidants Ascorbic Acid and Glutathione. Cyclosporin A interfered with CD95L expression, Ascorbic Acid and Glutathione inhibited cell death triggered by CD95/CD95L interaction; Genistein and PNU152518 acted on both steps. The occurrence of oxidative stress during CD95-dependent apoptosis was supported by the direct evidence of ROI production.

Abstract
Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) has been reported to inhibit Fas (APO-1, CD95)-mediated apoptosis in different cellular systems. Human Jurkat leukemic T cells express the Fas antigen in the cell membrane and undergo apoptosis upon cross-linking by anti-Fas monoclonal antibodies (mAb). Cleavage of the apoptosis-associated protease CPP32 and its substrate poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase are observed after the engagement of Fas antigen with mAb. In this report, we show that all these effects are substantially inhibited by the activation of PKC with a phorbol ester. Bisindolylmaleimide, an inhibitor of PKC, prevents phorbol ester-induced down-regulation of Fas signaling. Inhibition of Fas-mediated cell death by phorbol ester is also observed in other human leukemic T cell lines. Cross-linking of Fas antigen by mAb results in the rapid increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of several protein substrates which is further elevated in the presence of the protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, orthovanadate. Furthermore, orthovanadate markedly enhances the cell death response to Fas mAb in different human leukemic T cell lines and human T cell blasts. These effects of orthovanadate on early tyrosine phosphorylation and cell death are clearly diminished by PKC activation. These results strongly suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation is involved in Fas signaling in apoptosis and that PKC plays a negative role in Fas-mediated apoptosis by counteracting at a very early stage the signals generated following cross-linking of this receptor.

Abstract
Phytohemagglutinin-activated peripheral CD95+ T cells (day 1 T cells) are resistant to CD95-mediated apoptosis. After prolonged interleukin-2 treatment, these T cells become CD95-mediated apoptosis-sensitive (day 6 T cells). To elucidate the molecular mechanism of apoptosis resistance, day 1 and day 6 T cells were tested for formation of the CD95 death-inducing signaling complex (DISC). DISC-associated active Fas-associated DD protein (FADD)-like interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme-like protease (FLICE) also referred to as MACH/caspase 8 was only found in apoptosis-sensitive day 6 T cells. Further-analysis of mRNA and protein expression levels of apoptosis-signaling molecules FADD, receptor interacting protein, hematopoietic cell protein tyrosine phosphatase, Fas-associated phosphatase-1, FLICE, bel-2, bcl-xL, and, bax-alpha showed that only the expression level of bcl-xL correlated with T cell resistance to CD95-mediated apoptosis (day 1 T cells: bcl-xhiL; day 6 T cells: bcl-XloL). In T cells activated in vitro, up-regulation of bcl-xL, has previously been correlated with general apoptosis resistance. However, the experiments presented suggest that resistance to CD95-mediated apoptosis in T cells can also be regulated at the level of recruitment of FLICE to the DISC.

Abstract
CD95 (Fas/APO-1)-mediated apoptosis appears to be regulated by positive and negative signaling molecules. A human CD40/CD95 chimeric receptor was stably transfected into CD95-expressing human Jurkat T cells, and signaling through native and chimeric CD95 was compared in the same cell type to assess contributions of the CD95 extracellular and intracellular domains. Apoptosis was induced in these transfectants by soluble CD40 ligand and also by the anti-CD40 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) M2 and M3. The M2 mAb was more effective than M3 in these transfectants. In contrast to apoptosis mediated through native CD95, CD40/CD95-mediated apoptosis was not inhibited by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA). The apoptotic response to the anti-CD40 mAb M3, but not M2, was enhanced by PMA and dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (db-cAMP), which also increased mRNA levels and surface expression of CD40/CD95. The enhancing effects of PMA, but not those of db-cAMP, were sensitive to cycloheximide. The M2 and M3 mAbs appeared to have virtually identical binding affinities but, when added to cells together, M3 inhibited M2-induced apoptosis. These mAbs may bind neighboring epitopes, but M2 induces a more effective signaling-competent conformation upon the chimeric receptor. These data suggest that dimerization, however only in a signaling-competent conformation, was sufficient to induce apoptosis. When expressed as a chimera with the CD40 extracellular domain, the CD95 intracellular domain was not inhibited by protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent pathways, suggesting that the CD95 extracellular domain is required for association with a molecule that inhibits the apoptotic signal.

Abstract
The CD4 receptor contributes to T-cell activation by coligating major histocompatibility complex class II on antigen presenting cells with the T-cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 complex, and triggering a cascade of signaling events including tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins. Paradoxically, CD3 cross-linking prior to TCR stimulation results in apoptotic cell death, as does injection of anti-CD4 antibodies in vivo of CD4 ligation by HIV glycoprotein (gp) 120. In this report we investigate the mechanism by which CD4 cross-linking induces cell death. We have found that CD4 cross-linking results in a small but rapid increase in levels of cell surface Fas, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family implicated in apoptotic death and maintenance of immune homeostasis. Importantly, CD4 cross-linking triggered the ability of Fas to function as a death molecule. Subsequent to CD4 cross-linking, CD4+ splenocytes cultured overnight became sensitive to Fas-mediated death. Death was Fas-dependent, as demonstrated by cell survival in the absence of plate-bound anti-Fas antibody, and by the lack of CD4-induced death in cells from Fas-defective lymphoproliferative (lpr) mice. We demonstrate here that CD4 regulates the ability of Fas to induce cell death in Cd4+ T cells.

Abstract
Fas antigen is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family that transduces a lethal signal to the Fas-sensitive cells. We previously established the Fas-resistant variant cell lines LAC2D1R and JKT2D1R from the parental Fas-sensitive cell lines, SUPT13 and Jurkat, respectively. Recently, we isolated the Fas-resistant variant CEM2D1R from CCRF-CEM. All of the variants were Fas+ but resistant to Fas-mediated apoptosis. Further biochemical analysis revealed that the intracellular glutathione (GSH) content of the Fas-resistant variants was higher than in the original cells. When the Fas-resistant variants were incubated with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) or in GSH-free/cysteine-free medium to deplete GSH, Fas resistance was reversed. Incubation of the cells with cycloheximide also decreased intracellular GSH and reversed the Fas resistance. Furthermore, incubation of activated peripheral blood lymphocytes with BSO enhanced Fas-mediated apoptosis. When the Fas-sensitive cells were incubated with N-acetylcysteine (NAC), intracellular GSH was increased and Fas-mediated apoptosis was blocked. In contrast, Fas-resistant variants, as well as Fas-sensitive cells pre-treated with NAC remained susceptible to allogeneic lymphokine-activated killer cells, most likely due to perforin-dependent killing. The results suggest that Fas-mediated apoptosis, but not perforin-dependent killing, is modulated by intracellular GSH in human T lymphocytes.

Abstract
APO-1 (Fas/CD95), a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, induces apoptosis upon receptor oligomerization. In a search to identify intracellular signaling molecules coupling to oligomerized APO-1, several cytotoxicity-dependent APO-1-associated proteins (CAP) were immunoprecipitated from the apoptosis-sensitive human leukemic T cell line HUT78 and the lymphoblastoid B cell line SKW6.4. CAP1-3 (27-29 kDa) and CAP4 (55 kDa), instantly detectable after the crosslinking of APO-1, were associated only with aggregated (the signaling form of APO-1) and not with monomeric APO-1. CAP1 and CAP2 were identified as serine phosphorylated MORT1/FADD. The association of CAP1-4 with APO-1 was not observed with C-terminally truncated non-signaling APO-1. In addition, CAP1 and CAP2 did not associate with an APO-1 cytoplasmic tail carrying the lprcg amino acid replacement. Moreover, no APO-1-CAP association was found in the APO-1+, anti-APO-1-resistant pre-B cell line Boe. Our data suggest that in vivo CAP1-4 are the APO-1 apoptosis-transducing molecules.
