Abstract
Cell response to extracellular ligand is affected not only by ligand availability, but also by pre-existing cell-to-cell variability that enables a range of responses within a cell population. We developed a computational model that incorporates cell heterogeneity in order to investigate Jurkat T cell response to time dependent extracellular IL-2 stimulation. Our model predicted preferred timing of IL-2 oscillatory input for maximizing downstream intracellular STAT5 nuclear translocation. The modeled cytokine exposure was replicated experimentally through the use of a microfluidic platform that enabled the parallelized capture of dynamic single cell response to precisely delivered pulses of IL-2 stimulus. The in vitro results demonstrate that single cell response profiles vary with pulsatile IL-2 input at pre-equilibrium levels. These observations confirmed our model predictions that Jurkat cells have a preferred range of extracellular IL-2 fluctuations, in which downstream response is rapidly initiated. Further investigation into this filtering behavior could increase our understanding of how pre-existing cellular states within immune cell populations enable a systems response within a preferred range of ligand fluctuations, and whether the observed cytokine range corresponds to in vivo conditions.

Abstract
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is major cytokine involved in T cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Association between IL-2 and its receptor (IL-2R), triggers activation of complex signaling cascade governed by tyrosine phosphorylation that culminates in transcription of genes involved in modulation of the immune response. The complete characterization of the IL-2 pathway is essential to understand how aberrant IL-2 signaling results in several diseases such as cancer or autoimmunity and also how IL-2 treatments affect cancer patients. To gain insights into the downstream machinery activated by IL-2, we aimed to define the global tyrosine-phosphoproteome of IL-2 pathway in human T cell line Kit225 using high resolution mass spectrometry combined with phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitation and SILAC. The molecular snapshot at 5min of IL-2 stimulation resulted in identification of 172 proteins among which 79 were found with increased abundance in the tyrosine-phosphorylated complexes, including several previously not reported IL-2 downstream effectors. Combinatorial site-specific phosphoproteomic analysis resulted in identification of 99 phosphorylated sites mapping to the identified proteins with increased abundance in the tyrosine-phosphorylated complexes, of which 34 were not previously described. In addition, chemical inhibition of the identified IL-2-mediated JAK, PI3K and MAPK signaling pathways, resulted in distinct alteration on the IL-2 dependent proliferation.

Abstract
Activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is an early and essential step in interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) signalling, and plays an important role in regulating both cell survival and cellular proliferation. In the present study, we utilized Baf-B03 cells expressing mutated IL-2R to examine the contribution of PI3K to proliferative capacity. In this model IL-2-mediated induction of the downstream PI3K-dependent signalling molecule p70 S6 kinase was detected, but there was no proliferative response. Increasing the level of PI3K activity by transfection of an active form of the catalytic subunit, p110*, enabled the proliferative capacity of the mutated receptor. Whereas, in cells without p110*, IL-2 lacked the capacity to induce c-myc and to overcome an S-phase checkpoint, S-phase transition was restored by transfection of p110*, and this was accompanied by an increase in the c-myc response. Despite the presence of p110*, activity cells still required IL-2R-derived signals for proliferation, and IL-2Rbeta truncated at amino acid 350 were sufficient to provide this signalling activity. The data support a model in which the level of available PI3K can determine the cellular response to IL-2.

Abstract
The immune function of wild birds is practically unknown. We have studied several functions of splenic leukocytes from the gull Larus ridibundus. Considering that avian physiology is strikingly affected by the seasonal migratory cycle, those functions were analyzed throughout the seasonal cycle. The functions assayed were: adherence to substrate, chemotaxis and lymphoproliferative response to mitogens. Estrogens have been reported to modulate the immune response in mammals; therefore serum levels of 17beta-estradiol were measured in order to find a putative effect of this hormone on the immune response of female gulls. According to our results, gull splenic leukocytes showed a response similar to that reported in mammals and poultry. In regard to the effect of the seasonal migratory cycle, when the gulls arrived from the migratory flight they showed an immunosuppression as we have obtained in chemotaxis and proliferations assays. The immune response increased during the resting period and especially in the premigratory period. We have found a lack of a direct effect of the age of the animals or even the serum estrogen levels in the immune response of the migratory gulls. These results suggest the existence of other hormones and releasing factors, which would modulate the immune response in gulls, or a unique major effect due to the long flight effort.

Abstract
The interleukin (IL)-2 receptor has proved an attractive target for T cell-directed therapies. Agents including monoclonal antibodies, single-chain antibody immunoconjugates, radioimmunoconjugates, and, most recently, ligand fusion toxins have demonstrated activity in vitro and in clinical trials in both hematologic malignancies and diseases characterized by proliferation of activated T cells, such as graft-versus-host disease. DAB389IL-2 (ONTAK) is a ligand fusion toxin consisting of the full-length sequence of the IL-2 gene genetically fused to the enzymatically active and translocating domains of diphtheria toxin. DAB389IL-2 and its predecessor, DAB486IL-2, have demonstrated activity in a variety of diseases, including cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and HIV infection. Further clinical development of IL-2 fusion toxins in CTCL and other hematopoietic malignancies is predicated on identification of the high-affinity IL-2 receptor complex on the malignant cells and on a better understanding of the biological determinants of cytotoxicity of these molecules in vivo.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple proteins, including the receptor itself, is an initial event in IL-2 signaling and leads to recruitment of SH2 or PTB domain-containing proteins to the receptor. In this study, we have used subdomains of the IL-2 receptor beta chain (IL-2Rbeta) expressed in Escherichia coli as GST fusion proteins to identify the tyrosine residues that could be phosphorylated by p56(lck), one of the critical tyrosine kinases activated by IL-2. We report that recombinant p56(lck) phosphorylates in vitro tyrosine residues within the IL-2Rbeta chain but not those within the IL-2Rgamma chain. p56(lck) phosphorylates tyrosine residues 355, 358 and 361 but not 338 of the IL-2Rbeta chain acidic subdomain. Interestingly, phosphorylation of Tyr-358 appears to require the presence of either Tyr-355 or Tyr-361. p56(lck) also phosphorylates very efficiently the two tyrosines present in the IL-2Rbeta chain C-terminal region, Tyr-392 and Tyr-510. We also investigated the association of p56(lck) with the IL-2Rbeta chain which was found to depend on a short stretch of the IL-2Rbeta chain acidic subdomain, and to be independent of the presence of its tyrosine residues.

Abstract
Interleukin-2 has pleiotropic actions on the immune system and plays a vital role in the modulation of immune responses. Our current understanding of IL-2 signaling has resulted from in vitro studies that have identified the signaling pathways activated by IL-2, including the Jak-STAT pathways, and from in vivo studies that have analyzed mice in which IL-2, each chain of the receptor, as well a number of signaling molecules have been individually targeted by homologous recombination. Moreover, mutations in IL-2Ralpha, gamma(c) and Jak3 have been found in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency. In addition, with the discovery that two components of the receptor, IL-2Rbeta and gamma(c), are shared by other cytokine receptors, we have an enhanced appreciation of the contributions of these molecules towards cytokine specificity, pleiotropy and redundancy.

Abstract
Peripheral blood T lymphocytes require two signals to enter and progress along the cell cycle from their natural quiescent state. The first activation signal is provided by the stimulation through the T cell receptor, which induces the synthesis of cyclins and the expression of the high affinity interleukin-2 receptor. The second signal, required to enter the S phase, is generated upon binding of interleukin-2 to the high affinity alphabetagamma interleukin-2 receptor. However, resting T cells already express intermediate affinity betagamma interleukin-2 receptors. As shown here, T cell stimulation through intermediate affinity receptors is capable of inducing cell rescue from the apoptosis suffered in the absence of stimulation. Characterization of the signaling pathways utilized by betagamma interleukin-2 receptors in resting T cells, indicated that pp56(lck), but not Jak1 or Jak3, is activated upon receptor triggering. Compelling evidence is presented indicating that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase associates with the intermediate affinity interleukin-2 receptor and is activated upon interleukin-2 addition. Bcl-xL gene was also found to be induced upon betagamma interleukin-2 receptor stimulation. Finally, pharmacological inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase blocked both interleukin-2-mediated bcl-xL induction and cell survival. We conclude that betagamma interleukin-2 receptor mediates T-cell survival via a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent pathway, possibly involving pp56(lck) and bcl-xL as upstream and downstream effectors, respectively.

Abstract
We examined the effect of inhibitors of tyrosine kinase and tyrosine phosphatase on DNA fragmentation, protein tyrosine phosphorylation, and polyamine metabolism in the murine T-cell line CTLL-2. When cells were exposed to herbimycin A, a specific inhibitor of tyrosine kinase (Uehara et al., 1989, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 163:803-809), in the presence of interleukin 2 (IL-2), DNA was degraded into oligonucleosomal fragments in a dose-dependent fashion. Genistein, another inhibitor of tyrosine kinase (Akiyama et al., 1987, J. Biol. Chem., 262:5592-5596), had similar effects. Exposure of CTLL-2 cells to vanadate, a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, blocked with the DNA fragmentation induced by herbimycin A. Tyrosine phosphorylation of 55 Kd protein was inhibited by herbimycin A, and the inhibition was reduced by vanadate. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity decreased rapidly after herbimycin A was added to CTLL-2 cell cultures, while vanadate increased ODC activity. The exogenous addition of putrescine or spermine, but not that of spermidine, attenuated herbimycin A-induced DNA fragmentation. These findings suggest that phosphorylation of tyrosine residues of 55 Kd protein prevents DNA fragmentation and that polyamines are involved in regulation of apoptosis.

Abstract
Although the mouse IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) beta and gamma c subunits have been identified by molecular cloning, the biochemical identity of these subunits has not yet been established. In the present study, the mouse IL-2R was biochemically characterized from cell lines expressing normal and aberrant IL-2R. Using novel monoclonal antibodies specific for the beta or gamma c subunits, we established that the M(r) of the beta chain is 90,000-100,000 and that of the gamma c subunit is 75,000-80,000. Analysis of transfected EL4 cells that expressed alpha, gamma c, and truncated beta subunits or mutant EL4 cells, which selectively lacked cell surface gamma c, revealed that no other material migrated to a position on SDS-PAGE characteristic of IL-2/IL-2R beta and IL-2/IL-2R gamma c cross-linked complexes, respectively. Thus, the beta and gamma c subunits appear to be the sole IL-2R constituents of these IL-2 cross-linked complexes. The IL-2/IL-2R gamma c, but not the IL-2/IL-2R beta, complex exhibited enhanced mobility after SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions, suggesting a more compact structure for gamma c as a result of intrachain disulfide bonds. The primary posttranslational modification of the mouse beta and gamma c subunits is N-linked glycosylation. These biochemical studies reconcile past uncertainties concerning the subunit composition of the mouse IL-2R and are consistent with a model of the IL-2R containing only three subunits.

Abstract
Interaction of the interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2R) beta chain with the lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (PTK), p56lck, has led to the speculation that p56lck participates in growth signal transduction. Although activation of T cells with interleukin 2 (IL-2) results in the activation of p56lck, accumulating data support the notion that Lck does not play an essential role in mitogenic signal delivery from the IL-2R. Since this src-related PTK has been shown to enhance TCR/CD3-mediated T cell responsiveness, here we investigated whether activation of Lck by IL-2 could contribute to enhance TCR/CD3-mediated T cell functions. This was achieved by using human CD4(+)-cloned T cells and comparing the effects of IL-2 on p56lck kinase activation and cytokine production. Results show that p56lck kinase activity increased as early as 1 min, reached a maximum within 5 min and decreased within 60 min after IL-2 stimulation. Such treatment with IL-2 also resulted in enhancing T cell responsiveness to CD3+PMA stimulation, as assessed by IL-2 and IFN-gamma secretion and by T cell proliferation. This increase of T cell functions was correlated with IL-2-induced p56lck activation in both dose-response and time-course experiments. Taken together these results strongly suggest that activation of Lck by IL-2 may play a role in regulating CD3-mediated T cell functions.

Abstract
We have investigated the role of JAK3 in interleukin 2 (IL-2)-induced signal transduction with a human T cell line, ED40515(-), lacking expression of the IL-2 receptor gamma chain and its sublines transfected with wild-type or mutant cDNAs of the IL-2 receptor gamma chain. Our results demonstrated that the membrane-proximal cytoplasmic region, encompassing the src homology region 2 (SH2)-like subdomain, of the gamma chain is essential for association and activation of JAK3. Furthermore, IL-2-induced activation of JAK3 paralleled induction of the c-myc gene and DNA synthesis but not induction of the c-fos and c-jun genes. These results support the hypothesis that JAK3 plays a pivotal role in the IL-2 receptor-mediated signals for cell growth.

Abstract
It is known that glutathione (GSH) has an immunological effect on several features of the immune system. The present study investigated the effects of GSH on interleukin-2 (IL-2) production from normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). The results showed that both exogenous GSH and 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) significantly increased intracellular GSH levels after PBL were incubated with both agents. IL-2 production from PBL was markedly increased at the presence of exogenous GSH (0.5-8 mmol/l) or 2-ME (12.5-50 mumol/l) which corresponded to 1.57-2.82 nmol/10(6) cells and 1.41 - 1.80 nmol/10(6) cells of intracellular concentrations of GSH, respectively. However, IL-2 production seemed to reach a steady level when exogenous GSH concentrations in cell culture were between 2 and 8 mmol/l. The findings also showed that there was a positive correlation between the IL-2 concentrations and intracellular GSH levels. This study indicated that both exogenous GSH and 2-ME were able to elevate intracellular GSH levels and the increased intracellular GSH could increase IL-2 production in vitro. It is suggested that GSH may exert its effects on the immune system via the regulation of IL-2 synthesis.

Abstract
Interleukin-2 is an autocrine growth factor for T cells which also activates other cells including B cells and natural killer cells. The subunits of the interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) lack intrinsic enzymatic activity, but protein tyrosine phosphorylation is a critical event following ligand binding and src family kinases, such as Lck, are known to be activated by IL-2 (refs 5-9). However, IL-2 signalling can occur in the absence of receptor interaction with Lck, suggesting that other protein tyrosine kinases might be important. Here we report that a new member of the Janus family of kinases (Jak-3) is coupled to the IL-2R in human peripheral blood T cells and natural killer cells.

Abstract
Members of the cdc25 phosphatase family are proposed to function as important regulators of the eukaryotic cell cycle, particularly in the induction of mitotic events. A new cdc25 tyrosine phosphatase, cdc25M1, has been cloned from a mouse pre-B cell cDNA library and characterized. The cdc25M1 protein consists of 465 amino acids with a predicted relative molecular mass (M(r)) of 51,750. Over the highly conserved carboxyl terminal region, the amino acid sequence similarity to the human cdc25 C or Hs1 isoform is 89%, while the overall similarity is 67%. The phosphatase active site is located within residues 367-374. Tissue expression of the cdc25M1 was highest in mouse spleen and thymus by northern blot analysis. The cdc25M1 mRNA was detected in a number of cloned mouse lymphocyte cell lines including both CD8+ and CD4+ cells. cdc25M1 mRNA was shown to be cell cycle-regulated in T cells following interleukin-2 (IL-2)-stimulation. Accumulation of cdc25M1 mRNA occurred at 48 h after IL-2 stimulation, when lymphocytes were progressing from S phase to G2/M phase of the cell cycle. This pattern of expression is in contrast to that observed for other protein tyrosine phosphatases expressed in T lymphocytes including CD45, LRP, SHP, and PEP. The elevation in cdc25M1 mRNA level occurred concomittant to the appearance of the hyperphosphorylated form of p34cdc2 protein kinase. A purified, bacterial-expressed recombinant cdc25M1 phosphatase domain catalyzed the dephosphorylation of p-nitrophenol phosphate, as well as [32P-Tyr] and [32P-Ser/Thr]-containing substrates. Preincubation of p34cdc2 kinase with cdc25M1 activated its histone H1 kinase activity in vitro. These results suggest that cdc25M1 may be involved in regulating the proliferation of mouse T lymphocytes following cytokine stimulation, through its action on p34cdc2 kinase.

Abstract
The active metabolite of leflunomide, A77 1726 inhibits the proliferation of a variety of mammalian cell lines in culture. Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-dependent proliferation is inhibited by A77 1726 at an effective dose of 30-40 microM. A77 1726 appears to directly inhibit the EGF receptor tyrosine-specific kinase activity both in intact cells and purified EGF receptors at the same effective dose. These data suggest that leflunomide inhibits cellular proliferation by the inhibition of tyrosine-specific kinase activities.

Abstract
Stimulation of sensitive cells with erythropoietin results in rapid induction of protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Other than tyrosine phosphorylation of one chain of the erythropoietin receptor, the identities of the remaining tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins are undefined. In this report, we demonstrate that the stimulation of the erythropoietin-sensitive human UT7 cells by erythropoietin rapidly resulted in the appearance of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity in anti-phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates. Erythropoietin action was rapid, detectable after as early as 1 min stimulation, transient, returning to control level after 30 min stimulation and was observed using the erythropoietin concentrations able to stimulate the cell proliferation. Anti-(phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) antibodies specifically immunoprecipitated 125I-erythropoietin bound to its receptor, strongly suggesting that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase associated with a protein complex containing the activated erythropoietin receptor. To confirm this result, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase was immunoprecipitated from erythropoietin-stimulated cells using mild conditions followed by Western analysis using anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. Five tyrosine phosphorylated proteins were revealed: the cloned chain of the erythropoietin receptor, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and three unidentified proteins of 111, 97 and 64 kDa. None of these tyrosine phosphorylated proteins was detected in anti-(phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) immunoprecipitates from unstimulated cells. Thus, our results show that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase associates with a tyrosine-phosphorylated protein complex containing the activated erythropoietin receptor.

Abstract
Initial biosynthetic radiolabelling experiments with cultured granulosa cells revealed the presence of an oligosaccharide-phosphatidylinositol (glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol; (Ose)nPtdIns) structurally related to (Ose)nPtdIns-lipids isolated from other cell types. Prolactin (PRL) stimulated [3H]glucosamine-(Ose)nPtdIns turnover and the rapid generation of [3H]myristoyl-diacylglycerol in cultured follicle-stimulating hormone-(FSH)-primed granulosa cells endowed with PRL receptors. In parallel experiments performed with [3H]myo-inositol-labelled granulosa cells, treatment with PRL stimulated (Ose)nPtdIns hydrolysis in a similar manner, whereas no effect on phosphoinositide (PtdIns, PtdInsP and PtdInsP2) turnover could be observed. These results strongly suggest that the cleavage of (Ose)nPtdIns by phosphodiesterase followed by the subsequent generation of diacylglycerol and a soluble phosphoinositol-oligosaccharide (inositol-phosphoglycan; (Ose)nInsP) moiety could be part of the signal-transduction mechanism linking PRL receptors to their biological effects in granulosa cells. To test this hypothesis, we examined the effect of PRL and purified (Ose)nInsP moiety (from rat liver membranes) on granulosa cell 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/delta 5-4 isomerase (3 beta-HSD) enzyme activity. Results presented show that, in FSH-primed granulosa cells, PRL (40 nM) and (Ose)nInsP (5 microM) prevented gonadotropin-stimulated 3 beta-HSD activity. Furthermore, in undifferentiated granulosa cells where PRL receptors are absent, no effect of the hormone on 3 beta-HSD activity could be observed, whereas (Ose)nInsP (1-10 microM) inhibited enzyme activity in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
The biological effects of interleukin-2 (IL-2) were examined in T lymphocytes. IL-2 binding induced the rapid activation of diacylglycerol kinase in both cytosolic and membrane subfractions. This enzyme utilized diacylglycerol from multiple endogenous and exogenous sources for the synthesis of phosphatidic acid. Phosphatidic acid was, in turn, shown to stimulate the accumulation of c-myc mRNA and augment cellular proliferation when added to IL-2-dependent cell lines. These results link previous observations of IL-2 and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-dependent diacylglycerol production to phosphatidic acid accumulation, and suggest that diacylglycerol kinase activation is part of an intricate IL-2 signaling cascade that utilizes phosphatidic acid as an effector molecule.

Abstract
Functional activities of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) beta chain exogenously expressed on lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells were examined in terms of phosphorylation of IL-2R beta and cell growth. Lymphoid MOLT-4 and its transfectants expressing IL-2R beta either alone or with IL-2R alpha chain were found to be rapidly phosphorylated predominantly at tyrosine residues of IL-2R beta and to be affected in their growth in an IL-2-dependent manner. In contrast, IL-2 induced neither phosphorylation of IL-2R beta nor cell growth in non-lymphoid transfectants derived from COS7, HeLa and L929, even though they acquired the IL-2 binding ability when coexpressed as IL-2R beta and IL-2R alpha. These results suggest that IL-2 induces activation of a tyrosine kinase possibly associated with IL-2R beta in a cell type-specific manner.

Abstract
The cytoplasmic domains of the erythropoietin receptor essential for signal transduction were identified by assessing a series of truncated and deletional mutant receptors. A 91-amino acid region proximal to the transmembrane domain was required for growth signaling. In this region, residues between 353Pro and 362His and between 278Gln and 308Leu appeared to constitute the essential cytoplasmic domains. These two domains contain the conserved amino acids common in the cytokine receptor superfamily, which indicates that these domains in the cytoplasmic regions of the erythropoietin receptor may be important for interaction with common signal transducers or protein tyrosine kinases.

Abstract
Interleukin 2 (IL-2)-induced tyrosine phosphorylation appears to play a major role in IL-2-induced cellular proliferation. Several intracellular substrates including the beta chain of the IL-2 receptor complex (IL-2R beta), raf, MAP2 kinase, the regulatory 83 kDa subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase and S6 kinases are substrates for the IL-2 receptor activated kinase(s). However, none of the identified members of the IL-2 receptor complex exhibits intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. Therefore, the IL-2R complex must activate intracellular tyrosine kinases. We have demonstrated that specific tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases are coprecipitated with IL-2 receptor constructs that mediate IL-2-induced cell proliferation but not with those that do not. The IL-2-activated tyrosine kinase appears to be associated with a serine and proline rich intracellular domain which is highly conserved between IL-2R beta and the erythropoietin receptor. Although the responsible kinase has not been identified, lck, fyn, fgr, ltk, hck and lyn can be ruled out as obligatory mediators. Using methods to clone tyrosine kinases from T cells, we have identified potential candidate kinases, including several which had not been known to be expressed by T lymphocytes as well as several unique kinases which had not been previously identified in any cell type.

Abstract
We previously reported a molecule, p64, which was tentatively named the gamma chain, coprecipitable with the beta chain of human interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R). The present study demonstrated that the gamma chain, as well as the beta chain expressed on IL-2-responsive cells, is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues in an IL-2-dependent manner in vivo and in vitro. The in vivo tyrosine phosphorylation of both chains was similarly induced within 1 min after IL-2 stimulation, and their in vitro tyrosine phosphorylation with the anti-IL-2R beta antibody-directed immunocomplex was also increased by treatment of cells with IL-2. These results suggest that a tyrosine kinase is associated with the beta gamma subunit complex, of which activation by IL-2 may result in transduction of intracellular signals.

Abstract
By Western blotting with anti-phosphotyrosine-specific antibody, we demonstrated that both erythropoietin (Epo) and interleukin 3 (IL3) induce rapid and transient tyrosine phosphorylation of a common set of proteins of 45, 55, 69, 87, 90, 95 and 160 KDa as a growth signal in Epo- and IL3-dependent FD-M6 cells. In contrast, only two proteins of 87 and 90 KDa were transiently phosphorylated in Epo-induced erythroid differentiation of SKT6 cells. Furthermore, no tyrosine phosphorylation was observed in dimethyl sulfoxide-induced differentiation of SKT6 cells. Taken together with other observations, these results indicate that Epo, IL3 and GM-CSF activate the same tyrosine protein kinases as growth signal and that Epo-induced differentiation signal uses only a part of the tyrosine kinase pathway.

Abstract
Membrane gangliosides appear to modulate signal transduction by several growth factor receptors. We have investigated the possible regulation of IL-2-induced proliferation signals by gangliosides. Low concentrations of cholera toxin B subunit (CT-B), which binds specifically to GM1 ganglioside, greatly inhibited IL-2-stimulated DNA synthesis in the IL-2-dependent cell line CTLL-2, but had no effect on proliferation of HT-2. GM1 levels proved to be very low in HT-2 compared to CTLL-2. Large increases in membrane-associated GM1 could be achieved in both cell lines by incubation with exogenous GM1, resulting in a high degree of inhibition of proliferation by CT-B for both CTLL-2 and HT-2. Inhibition was blocked by large unilamellar vesicles containing GM1, but not by vesicles of lipid alone. The time course of CT-B inhibition for CTLL-2 synchronized in G0-G1, indicated that the negative growth signal acts relatively early in the IL-2 activation pathway. CT-B did not affect binding of IL-2 to high-affinity IL-2r. The inhibitory effects of CT-B could not be reversed by pertussis toxin, suggesting that a G protein is probably not involved. These results show that CT-B binding to either endogenous or inserted GM1 can modulate IL-2-induced lymphocyte proliferation.

Abstract
In the interleukin-2 (IL-2) system, intracellular signal transduction is triggered by the beta chain of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R beta); however, the responsible signaling mechanism remains unidentified. Evidence for the formation of a stable complex of IL-2R beta and the lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase p56lck is presented. Specific association sites were identified in the tyrosine kinase catalytic domain of p56lck and in the cytoplasmic domain of IL-2R beta. As a result of interaction, IL-2R beta became phosphorylated in vitro by p56lck. Treatment of T lymphocytes with IL-2 promotes p56lck kinase activity. These data suggest the participation of p56lck as a critical signaling molecule downstream of IL-2R via a novel interaction.

Abstract
NGF treatment of PC12 cells results in the rapid activation of MAP2 kinase. We report here that the induction of enzyme activity was correlated with the phosphorylation of MAP2 kinase, detected by metabolic labeling of the enzyme and with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. NGF stimulated the phosphorylation of MAP2 kinase on tyrosine, as well as serine and threonine residues. Western blot analysis using a polyclonal anti-phosphotyrosine antibody demonstrated that the tyrosine phosphorylation of MAP2 kinase was maximal within 2 min following NGF exposure and preceded the induction of MAP2 kinase activity. The NGF-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of an identified substrate provides direct evidence for the participation of a tyrosine kinase in the mechanism of action of NGF.

Abstract
The mechanism of interleukin-2 (IL-2) signal transduction was analyzed by use of an inducible B lymphoma. Like normal antigen-activated B lymphocytes, the lymphoma cells respond to IL-2 by proliferating and differentiating into antibody-secreting cells; both responses are blocked by a second interleukin, IL-4. Analyses of the signaling pathway showed that IL-2 stimulated the rapid hydrolysis of an inositol-containing glycolipid to yield two possible second messengers, a myristylated diacylglycerol and an inositol phosphate-glycan. The myristylated diacylglycerol response exhibited the same IL-2 dose dependence as the growth and differentiative responses, and the generation of both hydrolysis products was inhibited by IL-4. These correlations implicate the glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol system in the intracellular relay of the IL-2 signal.
