Abstract
Classic in vitro coculture assays of pathogens with host cells have contributed significantly to our understanding of the intracellular lifestyle of several pathogens. Coculture assays with pathogens and eukaryotic cells can be analyzed through various techniques including plating for colony-forming units (CFU), confocal microscopy, and flow cytometry. However, findings from in vitro assays require validation in an in vivo model. Several physiological conditions can influence host-pathogen interactions, which cannot easily be mimicked in vitro. Intravital microscopy (IVM) is emerging as a powerful tool for studying host-pathogen interactions by enabling in vivo imaging of living organisms. As a result, IVM has significantly enhanced the understanding of infection mediated by diverse pathogens. The versatility of IVM has also allowed for the imaging of various organs as sites of local infection. This chapter specifically focuses on IVM conducted on the lung for elucidating pulmonary immune response, primarily involving alveolar macrophages, to pathogens. Additionally, in this chapter we outline the protocol for lung IVM that utilizes a thoracic suction window to stabilize the lung for acquiring stable images.

Abstract
Polymorphonuclear neutrophils are no longer considered as a homogeneous population of terminally differentiated and short-lived cells that belong to the innate immune system only. In fact, data from the past decades have uncovered that neutrophils exhibit large phenotypic heterogeneity and functional versatility that render them more plastic than previously thought. Hence, their precise role as effector cells in inflammation, in immune response and in other pathophysiological processes, including tumors, needs to be better evaluated. In such a complex scenario, common knowledge of the differentiation of neutrophils in bone marrow refers to lineage precursors, starting from the still poorly defined myeloblasts, and proceeding sequentially to promyelocytes, myelocytes, metamyelocytes, band cells, segmented neutrophils, and mature neutrophils, with each progenitor stage being more mature and better characterized. Thanks to the development and utilization of cutting-edge technologies, novel information about neutrophil precursors at stages earlier than the promyelocytes, hence closer to the hematopoietic stem cells, is emerging. Accordingly, this review discusses the main findings related to the very early precursors of human neutrophils and provides our perspectives on human neutropoiesis.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α (PDGFRα) is a novel biomarker along with smooth myosin heavy chain for the pacemaker cells (previously termed 'atypical' smooth muscle cells) in the murine and cynomolgus monkey pelvis-kidney junction. PDGFRα+ cells present in adventitial and urothelial layers of murine renal pelvis do not express smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (smMHC) but are in close apposition to nerve fibres. Most c-Kit+ cells in the renal pelvis are mast cells. Mast cells (CD117+ /CD45+ ) are more abundant in the proximal renal pelvis and pelvis-kidney junction regions whereas c-Kit+ interstitial cells (CD117+ /CD45- ) are found predominantly in the distal renal pelvis and ureteropelvic junction. PDGFRα+ cells are distinct from c-Kit+ interstitial cells. A subset of PDGFRα+ cells express the Ca2+ -activated Cl- channel, anoctamin-1, across the entire renal pelvis. Spontaneous Ca2+ transients were observed in c-Kit+ interstitial cells, smMHC+ PDGFRα cells and smMHC- PDGFRα cells using mice expressing genetically encoded Ca2+ sensors. ABSTRACT Rhythmic contractions of the renal pelvis transport urine from the kidneys into the ureter. Specialized pacemaker cells, termed atypical smooth muscle cells (ASMCs), are thought to drive the peristaltic contractions of typical smooth muscle cells (TSMCs) in the renal pelvis. Interstitial cells (ICs) in close proximity to ASMCs and TSMCs have been described, but the role of these cells is poorly understood. The presence and distributions of platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α+ (PDGFRα+ ) ICs in the pelvis-kidney junction (PKJ) and distal renal pelvis were evaluated. We found PDGFRα+ ICs in the adventitial layers of the pelvis, the muscle layer of the PKJ and the adventitia of the distal pelvis. PDGFRα+ ICs were distinct from c-Kit+ ICs in the renal pelvis. c-Kit+ ICs are a minor population of ICs in murine renal pelvis. The majority of c-Kit+ cells were mast cells. PDGFRα+ cells in the PKJ co-expressed smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (smMHC) and several other smooth muscle gene transcripts, indicating these cells are ASMCs, and PDGFRα is a novel biomarker for ASMCs. PDGFRα+ cells also express Ano1, which encodes a Ca2+ -activated Cl- conductance that serves as a primary pacemaker conductance in ICs of the GI tract. Spontaneous Ca2+ transients were observed in c-Kit+ ICs, smMHC+ PDGFRα cells and smMHC- PDGFRα cells using genetically encoded Ca2+ sensors. A reporter strain of mice with enhanced green fluorescent protein driven by the endogenous promotor for Pdgfra was shown to be a powerful new tool for isolating and characterizing the phenotype and functions of these cells in the renal pelvis.

Abstract
In traumatic brain injury, absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) has been demonstrated to be involved in pyroptotic neuronal cell death. Although the pathophysiological mechanism of spinal cord injury is similar to that of brain injury, the expression and cellular localization of AIM2 after spinal cord injury is still not very clear. In the present study, we used a rat model of T9 spinal cord contusive injury, produced using the weight drop method. The rats were randomly divided into 1-hour, 6-hour, 1-day, 3-day and 6-day (post-injury time points) groups. Sham-operated rats only received laminectomy at T9 without contusive injury. Western blot assay revealed that the expression levels of AIM2 were not significantly different among the 1-hour, 6-hour and 1-day groups. The expression levels of AIM2 were markedly higher in the 1-hour, 6-hour and 1-day groups compared with the sham, 3-day and 7-day groups. Double immunofluorescence staining demonstrated that AIM2 was expressed by NeuN+ (neurons), GFAP+ (astrocytes), CNPase+ (oligodendrocytes) and CD11b+ (microglia) cells in the sham-operated spinal cord. In rats with spinal cord injury, AIM2 was also found in CD45+ (leukocytes) and CD68+ (activated microglia/macrophages) cells in the spinal cord at all time points. These findings indicate that AIM2 is mainly expressed in neurons, astrocytes, microglia and oligodendrocytes in the normal spinal cord, and that after spinal cord injury, its expression increases because of the infiltration of leukocytes and the activation of astrocytes and microglia/macrophages.

Abstract
The present study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and biological processes (BPs) associated with asthma. DEGs between allergic asthma and healthy controls were screened from GSE15823. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses were performed using Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed, followed by module mining and functional analysis. Additionally, GSE41649 was downloaded to validate the reliability of the results. In GSE41649, DEGs were identified and compared with key DEGs identified in GSE15823. A total of 43 upregulated and 275 downregulated DEGs were obtained from GSE15823. Upregulated DEGs, such as nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2), were enriched in BPs related to oxidation reduction. Downregulated DEGs, such as chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 19 (CCL21) and Cys-X-Cys ligand (CXCL9), were enriched in immune response-related BPs. Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type C (PTPRC), CCL21, and CXCL9 were identified as hub genes. The DEGs in module 1 were significantly involved in the chemokine signaling pathway (P<0.05). The expression of the key genes obtained in GSE15823 demonstrated the same variation directions in the two datasets. The immune response, oxidants and nitric oxide metabolic pathways may have important roles in the progression of asthma. DEGs of PTPRC, CCL21, CXCL9 and NOS2 may be the potential targets for asthma diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Here, we provide direct evidence that using recombinant proteins expressed in eukaryotic cells as antigen is a practical way to generate monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against heavily glycosylated proteins. Heavily glycosylated proteins are typically difficult targets for mAb generation, being limited by unsatisfactory affinity and low specificity. Using the heavily glycosylated CD45 protein as an example, we demonstrate the entire process of expressing the protein in eukaryotic cells and using it as an antigen to generate CD45-targeting mAbs in mice. The mAbs generated showed robust affinity and specificity, which are crucial factors for differentiate circulating tumor cells from white blood cells in human breast cancer patient samples. Only 1 cell fusion and 2 cyclic sub-cloning steps were necessary before mAbs with satisfactory performance were obtained.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a major cause of neonatal morbidity in premature infants, occurring as a result of arrested lung development combined with multiple postnatal insults. Infants with BPD exposed to supplemental oxygen are at risk of retinopathy of prematurity as well. Thus, we studied the effects of hyperoxia on the retinal vasculature in a murine model of BPD. The retinal phenotype of this model, which we termed hyperoxia-induced proliferative retinopathy (HIPR), shows severe disruption of retinal vasculature and loss of vascular patterning, disorganized intra-retinal angiogenesis, inflammation and retinal detachment. Neonatal mice were subjected to 75% oxygen exposure from postnatal day (P)0 to P14 to model BPD, then allowed to recover in room air for 1 (P15), 7 (P21), or 14 days (P28). We quantified retinal thickness, protein levels of HIF-1α, NOX2, and VEGF, and examined the cellular locations of these proteins by immunohistochemistry. We examined the retinal blood vessel integrity and inflammatory markers, including macrophages (F4/80) and lymphocytes (CD45R). Compared to controls, normal retinal vascular development was severely disrupted and replaced by a disorganized sheet of intra-retinal angiogenesis in the HIPR mice. At all time-points, HIPR showed persistent hyaloidal vasculature and a significantly thinner central retina compared to controls. HIF-1α protein levels were increased at P15, while VEGF levels continued to increase until P21. Intra-retinal fibrinogen was observed at P21 followed by sub-retinal deposition in at P28. Inflammatory lymphocytes and macrophages were observed at P21 and P28, respectively. This model presents a severe phenotype of disrupted retinal vascular development, intra-retinal angiogenesis inflammation and retinal detachment.

Abstract
Hematological disorders like myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) may arise due to cumulative dysregulation of various signalling pathways controlling proliferation, differentiation, maturation and apoptosis of bone marrow cells. This devastating bone marrow condition can be due to consequential abnormalities in haematopoiesis as well as its supportive microenvironment. Although mutations related to JAK/STAT pathway are common in myeloproliferative neoplasms, further studies are required to fully explore the myelodysplastic scenario regarding the concerned pathway. In this study, we have investigated the JAK-STAT signalling pathway which inevitably plays a crucial role in haematopoiesis. MDS was mimicked in a mouse model with an induction of ENU in adult mice. The bone marrow of the control and MDS groups of animals were subjected to a variety of tests, including cell morphology study in peripheral blood and bone marrow, cytochemistry and histochemistry of bone marrow smears, karyotyping and flowcytometric expression analysis of the phosphorylated forms of proteins like JAK1, STAT3 and STAT5 (denoted as pJAK1, pSTAT3 and pSTAT5) and the phenotypic expression of proteins like CD45 and CD71. The results revealed that the morphology of the blood and bone marrow cells were dysplastic compared to the affected blast populations of different lineages. The expression of common leucocyte antigen CD45 was less in comparison to the expression of transferrin receptor CD71 which was increased in the ENU induced MDS mouse model. Moreover, we have observed an upregulated expression of JAK1 followed by STAT5. Therefore, we can conclude that downregulation of CD45 may have helped in the upregulation of JAK-STAT signaling and CD71 expression. This aberrant signaling may be among one of the activated signaling axes that lead to affected hematopoietic lineages in Myelodysplastic syndrome.

Abstract
Biochanin A (BCA) is an isoflavone found in red clover possessing multiple pharmacological activities including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer ones. The present study aimed to assess its hepatoprotective potential at different doses in a carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatotoxicity model in rats. The effects on hepatic injury were explored by measuring serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase. Furthermore, the serum levels of glucose, urea, creatinine, total bilirubin, total proteins, triglycerides, and total cholesterol were determined. The metabolic capacity of the liver was assessed by measuring changes in cytochrome P450 2E1 activity. The underlying mechanisms were substantiated by measuring oxidative stress markers as catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione transferase, glutathione reductase, reduced glutathione, total antioxidant capacity, and lipid peroxidation, as well as inflammation markers such as nitric oxide, inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase2, tumor necrosis factor-α, and leukocyte-common antigen. The results were confirmed by histopathological examination, and the median lethal dose was determined to confirm the safety of the drug. BCA successively protected against CCl4-induced damage, normalizing many parameters to that of the control group. The study indicates that BCA possesses multimechanistic hepatoprotective activity that can be attributed to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory actions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Scleroderma is a clinically heterogeneous disease with a complex phenotype. The disease is characterized by vascular dysfunction, tissue fibrosis, internal organ dysfunction, and immune dysfunction resulting in autoantibody production. METHODOLOGY AND FINDINGS We analyzed the genome-wide patterns of gene expression with DNA microarrays in skin biopsies from distinct scleroderma subsets including 17 patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) with diffuse scleroderma (dSSc), 7 patients with SSc with limited scleroderma (lSSc), 3 patients with morphea, and 6 healthy controls. 61 skin biopsies were analyzed in a total of 75 microarray hybridizations. Analysis by hierarchical clustering demonstrates nearly identical patterns of gene expression in 17 out of 22 of the forearm and back skin pairs of SSc patients. Using this property of the gene expression, we selected a set of 'intrinsic' genes and analyzed the inherent data-driven groupings. Distinct patterns of gene expression separate patients with dSSc from those with lSSc and both are easily distinguished from normal controls. Our data show three distinct patient groups among the patients with dSSc and two groups among patients with lSSc. Each group can be distinguished by unique gene expression signatures indicative of proliferating cells, immune infiltrates and a fibrotic program. The intrinsic groups are statistically significant (p<0.001) and each has been mapped to clinical covariates of modified Rodnan skin score, interstitial lung disease, gastrointestinal involvement, digital ulcers, Raynaud's phenomenon and disease duration. We report a 177-gene signature that is associated with severity of skin disease in dSSc. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE Genome-wide gene expression profiling of skin biopsies demonstrates that the heterogeneity in scleroderma can be measured quantitatively with DNA microarrays. The diversity in gene expression demonstrates multiple distinct gene expression programs in the skin of patients with scleroderma.

Abstract
Hypoxia causes increased expression of several proteins that have the potential to promote neovascularization. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is up-regulated by hypoxia in the retina and plays a central role in the development of several types of ocular neovascularization, but the effects of other hypoxia-regulated proteins are less clear. Stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and its receptor, CXCR4, have hypoxia response elements in the promoter regions of their genes and are increased in hypoxic liver and heart. In this study, we found that SDF-1 and CXCR4 are increased in hypoxic retina, with SDF-1 localized in glial cells primarily near the surface of the retina and CXCR4 localized in bone marrow-derived cells. Glial cells also expressed CXCR4, which suggested the possibility of autocrine stimulation, but influx of bone marrow-derived cells is the major source of increased levels of CXCR4. High levels of VEGF in the retina in the absence of hypoxia also increased levels of Cxcr4 and Sdf1 mRNA. CXCR4 antagonists reduced influx of bone marrow-derived cells into ischemic retina and strongly suppressed retinal neovascularization, VEGF-induced subretinal neovascularization, and choroidal neovascularization. These data suggest that SDF-1 and CXCR4 contribute to the involvement of bone marrow-derived cells and collaborate with VEGF in the development of several types of ocular neovascularization. They provide new targets for therapeutic intervention that may help to bolster and supplement effects obtained with VEGF antagonists.

Abstract
Gain of chromosome 1q31-1q32 is seen in >50% of retinoblastoma and is common in other tumors. To define the minimal 1q region of gain, we determined genomic copy number by quantitative multiplex PCR of 14 sequence tagged sites (STSs) spanning 1q25.3-1q41. The most frequently gained STS at 1q32.1 (71%; 39 of 55 retinoblastoma) defined a 3.06 Mbp minimal region of gain between flanking markers, containing 14 genes. Of these, only KIF14, a putative chromokinesin, was overexpressed in various cancers by real-time RT-PCR. KIF14 mRNA was expressed in 20/22 retinoblastoma samples 100-1000-fold higher than in retina (t-test P=0.00002); cell lines (n=10) had higher levels than tumors (n=12) (P=0.009). KIF14 protein was overexpressed in retinoblastoma tumors and breast cancer cell lines by immunoblot. KIF14 was expressed in 4/4 breast cancer cell lines 31-92-fold higher than in normal breast tissue, in 5/5 medulloblastoma cell lines 22-79-fold higher than in fetal brain, and in 10/22 primary lung tumors 3-34-fold higher than in normal lung. Patients with lung tumors that overexpress KIF14 showed a trend toward decreased survival. KIF14 may thus be important in oncogenesis, and has promise as a prognostic indicator and therapeutic target.

Abstract
During ontogeny, the hematopoietic system is established from mesoderm-derived precursors; however, molecular events regulating the onset of hematopoiesis are not well characterized. Several members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) superfamily have been implicated as playing a role during mesoderm specification and hematopoiesis. CD105 (endoglin) is an accessory receptor for members of the TGF-beta superfamily. Here it is reported that during the differentiation of murine embryonic stem (ES) cells in vitro, hematopoietic commitment within Flk1(+) mesodermal precursor populations is characterized by CD105 expression. In particular, CD105 is expressed during the progression from the Flk1(+)CD45(-) to Flk1(-)CD45(+) stage. The developmentally regulated expression of CD105 suggests that it may play a role during early hematopoiesis from Flk1(+) precursors. To determine whether CD105 plays a functional role during early hematopoietic development, the potential of CD105-deficient ES cells to differentiate into various hematopoietic lineages in vitro was assessed. In the absence of CD105, myelopoiesis and definitive erythropoiesis were severely impaired. In contrast, lymphopoiesis appeared to be only mildly affected. Thus, these findings suggest that the regulated expression of CD105 functions to support lineage-specific hematopoietic development from Flk1(+) precursors.

Abstract
Alpha-tocopherol augmentation in human neutrophils was investigated for effects on neutrophil activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins, through its modulation of protein kinase C (PKC) and tyrosine phosphatase activities. Incubation of neutrophils with alpha-tocopherol succinate (TS) resulted in a dose-dependent incorporation into cell membranes, up to 2.5 nmol/2x10(6) cells. A saturating dose of TS (40 micromol/l) inhibited oxidant production by neutrophils stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or opsonized zymosan (OZ) by 86 and 57%, as measured by luminol-amplified chemiluminescence (CL). With PMA, TS inhibited CL generation to a similar extent to staurosporine (10 nmol/l) or genistein (100 micromol/l), and much more than Trolox (40 micromol/l). With OZ, TS inhibited CL to a similar extent to Trolox. Neutrophil PKC activity was inhibited 50% or more by TS or staurosporine. The enzyme activity was unaffected by genistein or Trolox, indicating a specific interaction of alpha-tocopherol. TS or Trolox increased protein tyrosine phosphorylation in resting neutrophils, and as with staurosporine further increased tyrosine phosphorylation in PMA-stimulated neutrophils, while the tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitor genistein diminished phosphorylation. These effects in resting or PMA-stimulated neutrophils were unrelated to protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) activities, which were maintained or increased by TS or Trolox. In OZ-stimulated neutrophils, on the other hand, all four compounds inhibited the increase in tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins. In this case, the effects of pre-incubation with TS or Trolox corresponded with partial inhibition of the marked (85%) decrease in PTP activity induced by OZ. These results indicate that alpha-tocopherol inhibits PMA-activation of human neutrophils by inhibition of PKC activity, and inhibits tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of OZ-stimulated neutrophils also through inhibition of phosphatase inactivation.

Abstract
Identified as the first and prototypic transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase), CD45 has been extensively studied for over two decades and is thought to be important for positively regulating antigen-receptor signaling via the dephosphorylation of Src kinases. However, new evidence indicates that CD45 can function as a Janus kinase PTPase that negatively controls cytokine-receptor signaling. A point mutation in CD45, which appears to affect CD45 dimerization, and a genetic polymorphism that affects alternative CD45 splicing are implicated in autoimmunity in mice and multiple sclerosis in humans. CD45 is expressed in multiple isoforms and the modulation of specific CD45 splice variants with antibodies can prevent transplant rejections. In addition, loss of CD45 can affect microglia activation in a mouse model for Alzheimer's disease. Thus, CD45 is moving rapidly back into the spotlight as a drug target and central regulator involved in differentiation of multiple hematopoietic cell lineages, autoimmunity and antiviral immunity.

Abstract
The pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. The mechanisms involved in regulating monocyte/macrophage TNFalpha production are not yet fully understood but are thought to involve both soluble factors and cell/cell contact with other cell types. Ligation of certain cell surface receptors, namely CD45, CD44, and CD58, can induce the production of TNFalpha in monocytes. In this paper, we investigate further the signaling pathways utilized by cell surface receptors (specifically CD45) to induce monocyte TNFalpha and compare the common/unique pathways involved with that of lipopolysaccharide. The results indicate that monocyte TNFalpha induced upon CD45 ligation or lipopolysaccharide stimulation is differentially modulated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and nuclear factor-kappaB but similarly regulated by p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. These results demonstrate that both common and unique signaling pathways are utilized by different stimuli for the induction of TNFalpha. These observations may have a major bearing on approaches to inhibiting TNFalpha production in disease where the cytokine has a pathogenic role.

Abstract
We have developed an intact cell assay to be used in the direct quantitation of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) activity. Utilizing the baculovirus expression system, the assay readily allows for a direct activity readout for PTPs such as PTP1B or CD45. Infected Sf9 cells expressing either full-length PTP1B, full-length CD45, CD45 catalytic domain, or hCOX-1 (mock-infected) are harvested 29 hr post-infection, at which time cells are viable and the expressed proteins are processed, as well as localized to their predicted subcellular compartments. Assays are carried out in a 96-well format, with cells expressing the PTP of interest. Cells are preincubated with or without inhibitor and challenged with substrate, and the phosphatase activity is determined spectrophotometrically by monitoring the conversion of p-nitrophenyl phosphate to p-nitrophenol at OD405. Documented PTP inhibitors have been used to validate this assay system. This study demonstrates that a direct readout of PTP activity in intact cells can be achieved, thus providing a useful cell-based screen for determining selective inhibitors of PTPs.

Abstract
We recently demonstrated that different CD45 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are able to induce cellular aggregation in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) through LFA-1/ICAM-1 interactions. Such interactions could be down-modulated by protein kinase (PK) A/G inhibitors, but were unaffected by inhibitors of PKC, suggesting the involvement of PKA or PKG in CD45 mAb-induced adhesion. In this study we show that after incubation of PBMC with several (but not all) mAb to CD45, CD45RO and CD45RA, intracellular cAMP, but not cGMP concentrations readily increase, reaching a maximum 30 min after start of activation. As evidenced by several lines of investigation cAMP accumulation was independent of Fc receptor-associated signaling as well as tyrosine phosphatase activity of CD45. In highly pure T lymphocytes, CD45 mAb were unable to induce cAMP synthesis, but readily did so after addition of autologous monocytes. After paraformaldehyde fixation of both quiescent or IFN-gamma/TNF-alpha-preactivated monocytes, cAMP production was no longer detectable, suggesting monocytes as the cell of origin for the increased cAMP synthesis. Further, cAMP accumulation in monocytes occurred after reconstitution to T lymphocytes preincubated with CD45 mAb and extensively washed. Importantly, pretreatment of T lymphocyte/monocyte mixtures with LFA-1 mAb and/or ICAM-1 mAb down-regulated CD45 mAb-induced cAMP synthesis. Finally, we demonstrate that CD45 mAb are not only capable of inducing cAMP production, but also of directly stimulating PKA enzyme activity. Based on the data presented, we propose that CD45 signaling in T lymphocytes subsequently activates cAMP accumulation and PKA activation in monocytes via LFA-1/ICAM-1-dependent cellular interactions.

Abstract
CD45 (lymphocyte common antigen) is a receptor-linked protein tyrosine phosphatase that is expressed on all leucocytes, and which plays a crucial role in the function of these cells. On T cells the extracellular domain of CD45 is expressed in several different isoforms, and the particular isoform(s) expressed depends on the particular subpopulation of cell, their state of maturation, and whether or not they have previously been exposed to antigen. It has been established that the expression of CD45 is essential for the activation of T cells via the TCR, and that different CD45 isoforms display a different ability to support T cell activation. Although the tyrosine phosphatase activity of the intracellular region of CD45 has been shown to be crucial for supporting signal transduction from the TCR, the nature of the ligands for the different isoforms of CD45 have been elusive. Moreover, the precise mechanism by which potential ligands may regulate CD45 function is unclear. Interestingly, in T cells CD45 has been shown to associate with numerous molecules, both membrane associated and intracellular; these include components of the TCR-CD3 complex and CD4/CD8. In addition, CD45 is reported to associate with several intracellular protein tyrosine kinases including p56lck and p59fyn of the src family, and ZAP-70 of the Syk family, and with numerous proteins of 29-34 kDa. These CD45-associated molecules may play an important role in regulating CD45 tyrosine phosphatase activity and function. However, although the role of some of the CD45-associated molecules (e.g. CD45-AP and LPAP) has become better understood in recent years, the role of others still remains obscure. This review aims to summarize recent findings on the role of CD45 and CD45-associated molecules in T cell activation, and to highlight issues that seem relevant to ongoing research in this area.

Abstract
To further understand the functional interactions between CD45 and p56(lck) in T-cells, we stably reconstituted their expression in a nonlymphoid system. The results of our analyses demonstrated that CD45 could dephosphorylate tyrosine 505 of p56(lck) in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. As is the case for T-cells, removal of the unique domain of p56(lck) interfered with dephosphorylation of tyrosine 505 in fibroblasts, further stressing the importance of this region in the interactions between CD45 and p56(lck). The ability of CD45 to dephosphorylate tyrosine 505 in NIH 3T3 cells was also greatly influenced by the catalytic activity of p56(lck). Indeed, whereas CD45 provoked dephosphorylation of kinase-defective Lck molecules in this system, it failed to stably dephosphorylate kinase-active p56(lck) polypeptides. Finally, our studies showed that CD45 was also able to inhibit the oncogenic potential of a constitutively activated version of p56(lck) in NIH 3T3 cells. This effect did not require the Lck unique domain and apparently resulted from selective dephosphorylation of substrates of activated p56(lck) in fibroblasts. In addition to providing insights into the nature and regulation of the interactions between CD45 and p56(lck) in T-cells, these results indicated that CD45 clearly has the capacity to both positively and negatively regulate p56(lck)-mediated functions in vivo.

Abstract
T-cell development is arrested at the CD4+CD8+ (DP; double-positive) stage of thymocyte development in CD45 null mice. However, the mechanism by which CD45 participates in the positive selection of T cells remains to be investigated. In this report we describe a DP thymocyte population that associates positive selection with expression of high levels of CD45, CD4 and CD8. DP thymocytes of this phenotype are large, cycling cells and represent approximately 20% of DP thymocytes in normal mice. In mice expressing a transgenic T-cell receptor (TCR) specific for the male antigen presented by H-2Db (H-Y TCR), the up-regulation of TCR, CD5 and CD69 in this large DP population occurred in a major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted manner. To investigate further the role of CD45 in positive selection, we determined whether thymocytes that expressed a transgenic CD45RO molecule under the control of the proximal lck promoter can influence the positive selection of T cells in H-Y TCR transgenic mice. It was found that in female H-Y TCR transgenic mice, MHC-restricted positive selection of CD4- CD8+ H-Y TCR+ thymocytes was enhanced by increased CD45RO expression. Thus, CD45 increases the efficacy of positive selection of CD4- CD8+ thymocytes that express H-Y TCR.

Abstract
CD45 is a transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase found on nucleated hematopoietic cells. In humans, multiple protein isoforms of CD45 are produced by alternative mRNA splicing of exons 4, 5, and 6 coding for the extracellular portion. We measured all eight possible CD45 mRNA transcripts using RT-PCR in human thymocytes and T cell lines. We report that only six mRNA transcripts are present in T cells. The high mw CD45 mRNA transcripts containing exon 4 correlated with the stage of T cell maturation: abundant high mw transcripts (30.7% of all CD45 mRNA transcripts) were present in immature, CD3-4-8 triple-negative thymocytes which decreased (7.7%) in intermediate, CD4+8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes and then increased (13.8% or 16.8%) in mature, CD4+8- or CD4-8+ single-positive thymocytes. In addition, there was a complex variation in the spliced mRNA transcripts coding for CD45R(O), CD45R(B), CD45R(BC), CD45R(AB), and CD45R(ABC) protein isoforms. High mw CD45 mRNA transcripts accumulated immediately prior to an important physiologic event such as thymocyte expansion. In addition, we identified linkage between RNA splicing of exons 5 and 6, and splicing of exon 5 only and exons 4, 5, and 6 in FACS-purified CD4+ and CD8+ thymocytes. These data support the developmental regulation of alternatively spliced CD45 mRNA transcripts and suggest that specific CD45 isoforms may play an important role at critical stages of T cell development.

Abstract
CD45, a transmembrane tyrosine phosphatase, is found on almost all nucleated hematopoietic cells and plays a crucial role in lymphocyte activation and differentiation. We recently achieved isolation of the human LSM-1 (hLSM-1) gene, whose product is a possible substrate for CD45, and we raised antibodies against the hLSM-1 protein. hLSM-1 expression in hematopoietic cells was examined with Northern and Western blot, fluorescence-activated cell sorter, and immunocytochemical analyses. It was found that in the lymphoid lineage, T and B lymphocytes as well as NK cells expressed LSM-1, whereas terminally differentiated plasma cells did not. As for the myeloid lineage, immature myeloid cells expressed LSM-1, whereas terminally differentiated granulocytes and monocytes did not. In the erythroid lineage, normal erythroblasts expressed very low levels of LSM-1, while erythroid cell lines (K562 and HEL) did not. Megakaryocytes did not express LSM-1. Both CD34+/CD33- and CD34+/CD33+ hematopoietic progenitor cells weakly expressed LSM-1. These results showed that LSM-1 is expressed in a lineage- and differentiation stage-specific fashion.

The CD45 tyrosine phosphatase plays an important role in regulating T lymphocyte activation, but the function of the different isoforms of CD45 is not known. T cell transfectants have been prepared that express individual CD45 isoforms in cells with a well-defined T cell receptor (TCR) from the D10 T helper 2 clone. We find that cells bearing low molecular weight CD45 isoforms are far more efficient in responding to stimulation with peptide and antigen-presenting cells compared with cells bearing high molecular weight CD45 isoforms. One hypothesis for the preferential activation of cells that express low molecular weight CD45 isoforms is that they interact with other cell surface antigens important in TCR signaling, altering their phosphorylation status and affecting the character of the signal transduction pathway. In this report, using cells expressing single isoforms, we demonstrate that low molecular weight isoforms of CD45 preferentially associate with CD4 and the TCR complex compared with high molecular weight isoforms. The molecular basis for this interaction was further examined using a glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol (GPI)-linked form of CD45Null (lacking tyrosine phosphatase domains), which preferentially associated with CD4 compared with GPI-linked CD45ABC, and cytoplasmic tail mutants of CD4, which retained the ability to coassociate. Using this panel of transfectants, it is clear that the interaction between CD4 and CD45 does not require the cytoplasmic domains of CD45, but is dependent on the specific external domain of the various isoforms: low molecular weight species were more likely to associate with the CD4-TCR complex than the higher molecular weight isoforms, and their ability to coassociate correlated with the magnitude of the response to specific antigen.

Abstract
The main purpose of this review article is to provide a better understanding of the role of oxidants as modulators/mediators of tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent signal transduction pathways. It is generally accepted that reversible phosphorylation of protein tyrosine residues by polypeptide growth factor receptor protein tyrosine kinases (e.g., epidermal growth factor receptor, platelet derived growth factor receptor, insulin receptor) is a signalling mechanism implicated in cell proliferation, adhesion, differentiation, transformation, and apoptosis. It is controlled by the opposing actions of protein tyrosine kinases and protein tyrosine phosphatases. Nevertheless, increasing amounts of experimental data indicate that intracellular redox state plays a major role in the mechanisms underlying the actions of growth factors. Furthermore, redox active species mediate signalling processes on their own. Thus, in this article we attempted to discuss these points, presenting our published as well as unpublished contribution to the field.

Abstract
Lymphocyte proliferation is guided by receptor-mediated signal transduction pathways that dictate the immunological response/clonality of that cell. We have previously reported that NZB-derived malignant B-1 cells, which serve as a murine model for human chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, demonstrate altered expression of surface IgM and CD45 signalling molecules, and a failure to proliferate following membrane IgM stimulation. To examine receptor-mediated cytosolic calcium (Cai) signalling in B cell leukaemia, we studied IgM-induced Cai responses in malignant B-1 cells and B cells from non-leukaemic mice. Basal Cai was slightly lower in malignant B-1 cells than in non-leukaemic cells. Anti-IgM stimulation induced a sustained increase in Cai to levels 1.3-fold greater than basal Cai in conventional B cells. In contrast, leukaemic B-1 cells demonstrated a sharp but transient rise in Cai followed by a gradual increase to levels 2.3-fold greater than basal [Ca]i Ca influx from extracellular sources contributed to the early and late Cai signal in both sets of cells. Pre-incubation (2-30 min) with anti-CD45 had no effect on basal Cai or the anti-IgM Cai signal in B cells, but reduced the Cai transient in malignant B-1 cells. Additional experiments characterized the effects of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation events on the Cai profile following anti-IgM stimulation. Protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors decreased the anti-IgM-induced Cai transient in malignant B-1 cells by 80%, but only moderately affected (40%) of the Cai response in non-leukaemic B cells. Protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors and protein kinase C (PKC) activators attenuated the Cai response to the same degree in normal and leukaemic B cells. These results show that Cai signalling differs widely between non-malignant B cells and malignant B-1 cells, and that tyrosine phosphorylation and CD45 modulation of IgM signalling are involved in the altered Cai responses in malignant B-1 cells.

Abstract
Immunophenotypic changes in peripheral blood lymphocytes (T, B, and NK cells) in patients during shigellosis was characterized by using triple-color flow cytometry. Eleven Shigella dysenteriae 1-infected adult patients (SDIP), 11 Shigella flexneri-infected adult patients (SFIP), 15 age- and sex-matched healthy controls from Bangladesh (C-B), and 15 healthy volunteers from Sweden (V-S) were studied. In SDIP and SFIP, a significant increase in the CD45RO+ cells in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were seen. We found evidence for sequential T-cell activation, as shown by increased proportions of CD25 and CD4+ cells; HLA-DR and CD38 on CD8+ cells, and CD54 on CD4+ and CD8+ cells. We found differences in the lymphocyte activation and subset patterns related to the infecting Shigella species. Thus, a decrease in CD45 expression was seen in SFIP; this decrease progressed further during the disease. The proportions of NK cells (CD56+ cells) and CD3- CD8+ cells out of the total CD8+ cells were increased in SFIP but not in SDIP. The CD3+ CD8+ CD57+ T-cell subset was significantly lower in SDIP than in C-B. The proportion of B-lymphocyte-expressing activation markers CD80 and CD23 was higher in patients than in C-B. There was a significant increase in the proportion of CD4+ T cells and a significant decrease in the percentages of total B cells, the CD3+ CD8+ CD57+ T-cell subset, and the CD56+ CD16+ NK-cell subset for V-S compared with C-B. Our results indicate that distinct subset changes and activation patterns are elicited in SDIP compared with SFIP and also that the degree of activation is related to disease severity. In addition, a common sequence of cell activation was seen during the disease course. The difference in the subset patterns seen in C-B and V-S may be related to differences in the levels or spectra of infectious agents in the environment.

Abstract
LEC rats are known to show a maturational arrest in the development of CD4+8+ to CD4+8- cells in the thymus. Despite the blockade of maturation of CD4+8-thymocytes, CD4+ T cells were observed in peripheral lymphoid organs, and these cells exhibit a defect in interleukin-2 (IL-2) production upon concanavalin A (Con A) stimulation. Although peripheral CD4+ cells in normal rat highly expressed CD45RC (CD45RChigh), the level of CD45RC expression was low (CD45RClow) in LEC rat peripheral CD4+ cells. However, CD4+ cells from both strains highly expressed CD45 when those cells were stained by pan-CD45 mAb, suggesting that LEC rat CD4+ cells are deficient in expression of the CD45RC isoform, but not of CD45 molecules. When backcross rats from (F344 x LEC)F1 x LEC were examined, the phenotype for CD45 expression pattern in CD4+ cells was clearly correlated with IL-2 production level in response to Con A stimulation. Thus, CD45RClow cells exhibit a defect in IL-2 production, while CD45RChigh cells show normal IL-2 production. Protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity in the membrane fraction of LEC rat CD4+ cells was threefold higher than that of normal rat CD4+ cells. Con A stimulation led to an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation levels, especially 100- and 40-kDa proteins, in normal rat CD4+ cells. In LEC rat CD4+ cells, however, the level of tyrosine phosphorylation in those proteins were very low. These results suggest that an elevated CD45 PTPase activity is responsive for a defect in IL-2 production in LEC rat peripheral CD4+ T cells.

Abstract
Protein-tyrosine-phosphatases (PTPases) have been implicated in the regulation of certain tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors in that they dephosphorylate the activated (autophosphorylated) form of the receptors. In order to identify PTPases that potentially act on receptor targets in liver, we used the human leucocyte common antigen-related PTPase (LAR) cDNA [Streuli, Krueger, Hall, Schlossman and Saito (1988) J. Exp. Med. 168, 1523-1530] and isolated two closely related transmembrane PTPase homologues from a rat hepatic cDNA library. Both PTPases had large extracellular domains that contained three immunoglobulin-like repeats and eight type-III fibronectin repeats. Both enzymes had tandem homologous PTPase domains following a single hydrophobic transmembrane domain. One sequence encoded the rat homologue of LAR. The second PTPase, designated LAR-PTP2, had 79 and 90% identity with rat LAR in the respective cytoplasmic PTPase domains, with only 57% sequence similarity in the extracellular domain. The catalytic domains of LAR and LAR-PTP2 prepared by bacterial expression were active in dephosphorylating a variety of phosphotyrosyl substrates but did not hydrolyse phosphoserine or phosphothreonine residues of labelled casein. Both enzymes exhibited rapid turnover numbers of 4-7 s-1 for myelin basic protein and 78-150 s-1 for derivatized lysozyme. LAR and LAR-PTP2 displayed similar PTPase activity towards the simultaneous dephosphorylation of receptors of intact insulin and epidermal growth factor from liver membranes. These data indicate that there is a family of LAR-related PTPases that may regulate the phosphorylation state of receptor tyrosine kinases in liver and other tissues.

Abstract
The cytoplasmic region of human CD45 corresponding to residues 584-1281 was inserted downstream of the alcohol dehydrogenase promoter and transfected into a haploid strain of yeast. Expression of recombinant CD45 in yeast reached as high as 5% of the soluble protein. Following removal of cellular debris by centrifugation and an ammonium sulfate precipitation step, the enzyme was purified using phenyl-Sepharose chromatography, preparative gel filtration, Mono Q anion exchange chromatography and a final analytical gel filtration step. Enzymatically active material with a purity of > or = 98% was obtained with a yield approaching 50%. The final product gave a Km of 5.5 mM and a Vmax of 87.5 U/mg with p-nitrophenylphosphate and a Km and Vmax of 0.167 mM and 185 U/mg, respectively, with a phosphotyrosine peptide. The native enzyme purified from Jurkat cells showed comparable Kms with both substrates to the recombinant enzyme but displayed substantially lower Vmax values for both substrates.

Abstract
Immunological stimulation of rat mucosal type mast cells (line RBL-2H3) by clustering the type I Fc epsilon receptor (Fc epsilon RI) causes a fast and transient tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins. This implied the involvement of both, protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) in that process. In order to identify the PTPases involved in these very early steps coupling Fc epsilon RI stimulus to cell response, we undertook the purification and characterization of PTPases present in RBL-2H3 cells. In one of the cells' membranal fractions, a PTPase activity was found to be enhanced 2- to 3-fold upon cell stimulation by Fc epsilon RI clustering. Characterization of this activity implies its involvement in control of the Fc epsilon RI signalling cascade.

Abstract
We showed previously that the TCR and CD2 fail to couple efficiently with their signal transduction machinery in J45.01, a CD45-deficient variant of the Jurkat T-cell line. Transfection into J45.01 of a cDNA encoding a chimeric membrane protein containing the cytoplasmic sequence of CD45 and extracellular and transmembrane sequences derived from the A2 allele of MHC class I rescues proximal signaling events after TCR stimulation. In this report, we describe rescue of CD2-mediated signaling and evaluate further the characteristics of TCR signaling in J45.01 after expression of the chimeric protein. Cells expressing the chimeric molecule demonstrate TCR- and CD2-mediated increases in PTK activity and PI turnover. Stimulation of the TCR and CD2 on the transfected cells also results in the expression of CD69 on the cell surface, a more distal signaling event. Although these measures of signal transduction via the TCR and CD2 are restored in the transfected cells, the magnitude of the responses are less than those seen in the wild-type Jurkat cells. These findings demonstrate that the cytoplasmic domain of CD45, expressed as a chimeric membrane protein, is sufficient for mediating signal transduction through CD2 as well as through the TCR complex. In addition, these results suggest that the extracellular and/or transmembrane domains of CD45 may contribute to the efficiency of signal transduction.

Abstract
A novel 3.6-kb cDNA, IA-2, with a 2,937-bp open reading frame was isolated from a human insulinoma subtraction library (ISL-153). The predicted amino acid sequence and in vitro-translated product of IA-2 cDNA revealed a 979-amino-acid protein with a pI value of 7.09 and a molecular mass of 105,847 daltons. The protein sequence is consistent with a signal peptide, an extracellular domain, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular domain. The extracellular domain contains an unusual cysteine-rich region following the signal peptide. The intracellular cytoplasmic domain of IA-2 possesses highly conserved regions similar to the catalytic domains found in members of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. Northern blot analysis showed that IA-2 mRNA was expressed in five of five freshly isolated human insulinomas, rat and mouse insulinoma cell lines, and enriched normal mouse islets. It also was found in normal human brain, pituitary, pancreas, and brain tumor cell lines, but not in a variety of other normal or tumor tissues. Based on the sequence and expression data, it appears that IA-2 is a new member of the receptor-type PTP family that is expressed in islet and brain tissues.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has been implicated in protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in cells. In our current studies, H2O2 was shown to reversibly inhibit protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity in HER14 cells. H2O2 (150 mM) resulted in 40% inhibition of PTPase activity by 15 min and recovery from inhibition was nearly complete by 60 min. H2O2-induced inhibition or recovery of PTPase activity was not affected by cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor. L-Buthionine-[S,R]-sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of glutathione synthesis, had no effect on H2O2-induced inhibition of PTPase activity but retarded the recovery of activity. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and EGTA, a Ca2+ chelator, did not influence H2O2-induced inhibition or recovery of PTPase activity. These results suggest that at least 40% of fibroblast PTPase activity can be regulated by cellular redox activity.

Abstract
Cytokine mRNA expression was analyzed by reverse transcriptase (RT)/PCR in extensively purified normal peripheral CD4+CD45R T cell subsets. Both CD45RA+ and CD45 RO+ populations produced mRNAs for interleukin (IL)-2, IL-2 receptor (alpha chain), IL-6 receptor and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-beta within 3-4 h of activation. Whilst IL-3 and RANTES were also expressed in both subsets, CD45RO+ cells were clearly the major producers of these cytokines. In contrast, mRNA transcripts for IL-1 alpha, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and the T cell receptor for IL-1 were almost exclusively induced in CD45RO+ T cells. A population of CD4+ T cells co-expressing intermediate levels of both CD45RA and CD45RO, namely CD45RA+/CD45RO+, appeared to be the major producers of IL-6. Addition of cycloheximide (CHx) 4 h after T cell activation resulted in substantial superinduction of IL-2 mRNA in the CD4+CD45RO+ population but had little effect on CD4+CD45RA+ cells. Taken together, these results show that normal CD4+CD45R T cell subsets exhibit distinct cytokine mRNA profiles and that these differ from the patterns displayed by Th1 and Th2 type T helper clones. Furthermore, they suggest for the first time that IL-2 mRNA turnover is differentially regulated in CD45R T cell subsets.

Abstract
The catalytic function of Src-related tyrosine protein kinases is repressed by phosphorylation of a conserved carboxy-terminal tyrosine residue. Recent studies suggest that this inhibitory event is not the result of autophosphorylation but that it is mediated by another cytoplasmic tyrosine protein kinase, termed p50csk. In this report, we have evaluated the processes regulating the extent of phosphorylation of the inhibitory carboxy-terminal tyrosine residue of p56lck, a lymphocyte-specific member of the Src family. By analyzing kinase-defective variants of p56lck expressed in mouse NIH 3T3 cells, we have found that the noncatalytic Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, but not the SH3 sequence or the sites of Lck myristylation and autophosphorylation, is necessary for stable phosphorylation at the carboxy-terminal tyrosine 505. Further studies in which Lck and Csk were coexpressed in S. cerevisiae indicated that the absence of the SH2 domain did not affect the ability of Csk to phosphorylate p56lck at tyrosine 505. However, we observed that incubation of cells with the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor pervanadate restored the tyrosine 505 phosphorylation of Lck polypeptides devoid of the SH2 motif. Additionally, the presence of the SH2 sequence protected tyrosine 505 from in vitro dephosphorylation by the hemopoietic tyrosine protein phosphatase CD45. Taken together, these findings raised the possibility that the SH2 motif contributes to the physiological suppression of the catalytic function of p56lck at least in part through its ability to stabilize phosphorylation at the inhibitory site.

Additionally, the presence of the SH2 sequence protected tyrosine 505 from in vitro dephosphorylation by the hemopoietic tyrosine protein phosphatase CD45. Taken together, these findings raised the possibility that the SH2 motif contributes to the physiological suppression of the catalytic function of p56lck at least in part through its ability to stabilize phosphorylation at the inhibitory site.

Abstract
From sexual maturity to old age, the mammalian immune system undergoes progressive changes, some of which may predispose individuals to infectious, neoplastic and degenerative diseases. These age-associated changes are prominent in the T lymphocyte compartment and encompass both the CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subpopulations. In this review, we focus on the mouse model system and summarize current information on the existence of functionally distinct subsets within each of the CD4+ and CD8+ cell subpopulations. We describe how the representation of these subsets is altered during the aging process, with consequent changes in the lymphokine production repertoires and other functional attributes of the T cell pool. Lastly, we present evidence showing that similar changes occur in aging humans and discuss the potential impact of these changes on immune responsiveness in late life.

Abstract
The major intracellular protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP1B) is a 50kDa protein, localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. This PTP is recovered in the particulate fraction of mammalian cells and can be solubilized as a complex of 150 kDa by extraction with non-ionic detergents. Previous work from this laboratory implicated phosphorylation of serine/threonine residues in the regulation of this PTP. Activity was several-fold higher in cells treated with activators of cAMP-dependent or Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinases or inhibitors of protein phosphatase 2A. Here we show that these treatments result in more than an 8-fold increase in the phosphorylation of the 50 kDa PTP catalytic subunit within the 150kDa form of the phosphatase in HeLa cells. The phosphorylation occurred exclusively on serine residues, and the same tryptic and cyanogen bromide 32P-phosphopeptides were recovered in the PTP from control and stimulated cells. Either multiple kinases phosphorylate a common site in the PTP1B, or a single kinase is activated 'downstream' of cAMP- and Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent kinases. The results indicate that phosphorylation of a serine residue in the segment 283-364, probably serine 352 in the sequence Lys-Gly-Ser-Pro-Leu, occurs in response to cell stimulation. Phosphorylation in this region of PTP1B, between the N-terminal catalytic domain and the C-terminal membrane localization segment, is proposed to regulate phosphatase activity.

Abstract
To evaluate CD4+ T cell subpopulations involved in the induction and recovery from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the CD45R phenotype and lymphokine mRNA profile was evaluated for encephalitogenic CD4+ T cell lines in vitro and compared to CD4+ T cells isolated from the spinal cord of Lewis rats with EAE. All of the myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific T cell lines and clones that adoptively transferred EAE were > 90% CD4+ and > 90% CD45R lo. A time course of EAE disease progression was monitored as a function of the percentage of CD45R hi/CD4+ T cells isolated from the spinal cords of diseased animals. The majority of CD4+ T cells found in the central nervous system during the early phase of passive EAE were CD45R lo (the same as the encephalitogenic lines/clones). A large increase of the CD45R hi/CD4+ T cells (up to 45%) was observed during the peak and recovery phases of EAE. Lymphokine mRNA production was analyzed from antigen-stimulated MBP-specific lines, and from spinal cord lymphocytes isolated from rats with EAE. The BP-specific lines produced Th1 lymphokines (IL-2, IFN-gamma, and TNF-alpha), while the spinal cord lymphocytes produced the same Th1 lymphokines as well as IL-4 and IL-10. The CD45R hi/CD4+ T cells isolated from the spinal cords were larger and expressed more lymphokine RNA per cell than the CD45R lo/CD4+ T cells. The encephalitogenic cells (CD45R lo) were detected in the spinal cords of rats with a fluorescent dye and by allelic transfers and all of the CD45R hi/CD4+ T cells were found to be host recruited. Thus, it appears that the CD45R hi/CD4+ lymphocytes found in the spinal cord represent a host-recruited, activated cellular infiltrate that increased in number in the recovery phase of EAE and synthesized both Th1 and Th2 lymphokines.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), together with protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), are involved in the regulation of cell activation, growth, and differentiation. To further elucidate the fine tuning of cell growth and differentiation through tyrosine phosphorylation, we tried to isolate mouse receptor-type PTP (RPTP) cDNA clones by screening mouse brain cDNA libraries with mouse CD45 PTP domain probes under reduced-stringency conditions. Characterization of isolated cDNA clones for RPTP showed that the cytoplasmic region contains two tandem repeats of PTP domain of about 230 amino acids with intrinsic phosphatase activity. The extracellular region was composed of immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains and fibronectin type III (FN-III)-like domains. The gene was highly homologous to human PTP delta (HPTP delta) and thus was named MPTP delta (murine counterpart of HPTP delta). The MPTP delta gene appeared to generate at least three species of mRNA, which differ in the composition of the extracellular domain: type A, one Ig-like and four FN-III-like domains; type B, one Ig-like and eight FN-III-like domains; and type C, three Ig-like and eight FN-III-like domains. Interestingly, the 5' untranslated region and the leader peptide of types A and B were completely different from those of type C. Northern (RNA) blot analysis demonstrated that brain, kidney, and heart cells express three mRNA species of about 7 kb. Antibody directed against part of the extracellular domain of type A MPTP delta recognized a 210-kDa protein in brain and kidney lysates. In situ hybridization of brain samples revealed that MPTP delta mRNA is present in the hippocampus, thalamic reticular nucleus, and piriform cortex, where some Src family PTKs have been also demonstrated to exist. Although MPTP delta mRNA was not detected in lymphoid tissues, all of the pre-B-cell lines tested and one of three B-cell lines tested expressed MPTP delta mRNA, whereas antibody-producing B-cell hybridomas and T-cell and macrophage lines did not. Finally, the MPTP delta locus was tightly linked to the brown (b) locus on mouse chromosome 4.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of melittin and Ca2+ ionophore A23187 on protein tyrosine phosphatase activity in HER14 cells (NIH-3T3 cells transfected with human epidermal growth factor 'EGF' receptor). Cell fractions were used to measure protein tyrosine phosphatase activity in vitro using 32P-labeled poly(Glu/Tyr) (4:1) peptide as a substrate. Treatment of HER14 cells with melittin or with A23187, inhibited protein tyrosine phosphatase activity in the cell sonicate and homogenate, as well as in cytosolic and particulate fractions of these cells. The inhibitory effect of both drugs was prevented by preincubating cells with EGTA (ethyleneglycolbis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid). The cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin enhanced the inhibitory effect of A23187, but not that of melittin. Addition of arachidonic acid to the cells partially prevented the inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase activity by melittin or A23187. Preexposure of cells to EGF enhanced the inhibitory effect of melittin--but not that of A23187. Addition of CaCl2, or MgCl2 to the cell homogenate inhibited protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. These results show that protein tyrosine phosphatase activity in HER14 cells is inhibited by melittin and Ca2+ ionophore A23187 through a Ca(2+)-dependent mechanism, and is regulated by arachidonic acid metabolism and EGF receptor activation.

Abstract
Surface expression of the CD45 tyrosine phosphatase is essential for the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) to couple optimally with its second messenger pathways. CD45 may be required to dephosphorylate a TCR-activated protein tyrosine kinase, which then transduces an activation signal from the TCR. A chimeric molecule that contained extracellular and transmembrane sequences from an allele of a major histocompatibility class I molecule and cytoplasmic sequences of CD45 restored TCR signaling in a CD45-deficient mutant T cell line. Thus, expression of the complex extracellular domain of CD45 is not required for the TCR to couple to its signaling machinery.
