Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure of the developing brain to propofol results in cognitive deficits. Recent data suggest that inhibition of neuronal apoptosis does not prevent cognitive defects, suggesting mechanisms other than neuronal apoptosis play a role in anaesthetic neurotoxicity. Proper neuronal growth during development is dependent upon growth cone morphology and axonal transport. Propofol modulates actin dynamics in developing neurones, causes RhoA-dependent depolymerisation of actin, and reduces dendritic spines and synapses. We hypothesised that RhoA inhibition prevents synaptic loss and subsequent cognitive deficits. The present study tested whether RhoA inhibition with the botulinum toxin C3 (TAT-C3) prevents propofol-induced synapse and neurite loss, and preserves cognitive function. METHODS RhoA activation, growth cone morphology, and axonal transport were measured in neonatal rat neurones (5-7 days in vitro) exposed to propofol. Synapse counts (electron microscopy), dendritic arborisation (Golgi-Cox), and network connectivity were measured in mice (age 28 days) previously exposed to propofol at postnatal day 5-7. Memory was assessed in adult mice (age 3 months) previously exposed to propofol at postnatal day 5-7. RESULTS Propofol increased RhoA activation, collapsed growth cones, and impaired retrograde axonal transport of quantum dot-labelled brain-derived neurotrophic factor, all of which were prevented with TAT-C3. Adult mice previously treated with propofol had decreased numbers of total hippocampal synapses and presynaptic vesicles, reduced hippocampal dendritic arborisation, and infrapyramidal mossy fibres. These mice also exhibited decreased hippocampal-dependent contextual fear memory recall. All anatomical and behavioural changes were prevented with TAT-C3 pre-treatment. CONCLUSION Inhibition of RhoA prevents propofol-mediated hippocampal neurotoxicity and associated cognitive deficits.

Abstract
ARHGAP19 is a hematopoietic-specific Rho GTPase-activating protein (RhoGAP) that acts through the RhoA/ROCK pathway to critically regulate cell elongation and cytokinesis during lymphocyte mitosis. We report here that, during mitosis progression, ARHGAP19 is sequentially phosphorylated by the RhoA-activated kinases ROCK1 and ROCK2 (hereafter ROCK) on serine residue 422, and by CDK1 on threonine residues 404 and 476. The phosphorylation of ARHGAP19 by ROCK occurs before mitosis onset and generates a binding site for 14-3-3 family proteins. ARHGAP19 is then phosphorylated by CDK1 in prometaphase. The docking of 14-3-3 proteins to phosphorylated S422 protects ARHGAP19 from dephosphorylation of the threonine sites and prevents ARHGAP19 from relocating to the plasma membrane during prophase and metaphase, thus allowing RhoA to become activated. Disruption of these phosphorylation sites results in premature localization of ARHGAP19 at the cell membrane and in its enrichment to the equatorial cortex in anaphase leading to cytokinesis failure and cell multinucleation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of academic societies has been growing significantly in Brazilian universities, offering an extra opportunity for the development of educational activities and research. Because organ donation and transplantation is an area still insufficiently approached during the graduation of health professionals, we evaluated how academic societies might be a valuable tool. METHODS Participants of the course promoted by the Organ Transplantation Academic Society of the Hospital Dom Vicente Scherer were evaluated through the use of a questionnaire and cognitive tests with 16 multiple-choice questions about topics approached during the course, before and after the lectures. Topics approached consisted of a general introduction about transplantation in Brazil, brain death, organ allocation and removal, post-transplant follow-up, and clinical cases. RESULTS Of the 45 participants, 30 answered the tests at both times. The subjects were students of medicine, nursing, and phonoaudiology; 93.3% were organ donors, 84.6% said their families knew about this decision, and 65% had relatives who were organ donors. The mean score of correct answers was 7.63 of 16 before the activities and 12.54 after activities, demonstrating a 64.4% improvement. CONCLUSIONS The improvement in performance suggests that academic societies are a useful resource for educational purposes and for students to get a deeper insight about organ donation and transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Today, Brazil is the second country of the world in number of transplants. Nonetheless, waiting lists are getting longer. This lack of organs occurs mostly because of people's reduced knowledge about the donation process. With the aim of changing this scenario, in 2013 and 2014, "Organ Donation Week" events were held at the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre. METHODS During the 2 years, documentaries followed by a cycle of debates with experts in this area were exhibited. In 2013, a "flash-mob" took place, with the purpose of performing a "transplant waiting list" around the perimeter of Santa Casa's Hospital Complex. In 2014, a morning full of educational activities was planned for the pediatric patients from the Santo Antônio Children's Hospital and their relatives. RESULTS It is estimated that approximately 1774 people were directly reached by the projects. Among these people, we can include medical students, healthcare professionals, university staff, transplanted patients, and their families. We believe that education and consciousness are central points in the donation and transplant process. Through this project, we could inform people about it, solving their doubts and myths and stimulating this kind of conversation among the family circle, making the moment when the family must make the decision much easier. CONCLUSIONS Education and public awareness are essential for enhancing the number of organ donations. Therefore, events such as "Organ Donation Week" should be encouraged among medical schools.

Abstract
SAP is a small cytosolic adaptor protein expressed in hematopoietic lineages whose main function is to regulate intracellular signaling pathways induced by the triggering of members of the SLAM receptor family. In this paper, we have identified the adhesion molecule PECAM-1 as a new partner for SAP in a conditional yeast two-hybrid screen. PECAM-1 is an immunoglobulin-like molecule expressed by endothelial cells and leukocytes, which possesses both pro- and anti-inflammatory properties. However, little is known about PECAM-1 functions in T cells. We show that SAP directly and specifically interacts with the cytosolic tyrosine 686 of PECAM-1. We generated different T-like cell lines in which SAP or PECAM-1 are expressed or down modulated and we demonstrate that a diminished SAP expression correlates with a diminished PECAM-1-mediated adhesion. Although SAP has mainly been shown to associate with SLAM receptors, we evidence here that SAP is a new actor downstream of PECAM-1.

Abstract
Small GTP-binding proteins of the Rho family orchestrate the cytoskeleton remodelling events required for cell division. Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) promote cycling of Rho GTPases between the active GTP-bound and the inactive GDP-bound conformations. We report that ARHGAP19, a previously uncharacterised protein, is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic cells and has an essential role in the division of T lymphocytes. Overexpression of ARHGAP19 in lymphocytes delays cell elongation and cytokinesis. Conversely, silencing of ARHGAP19 or expression of a GAP-deficient mutant induces precocious mitotic cell elongation and cleavage furrow ingression, as well as excessive blebbing. In relation to these phenotypes, we show that ARHGAP19 acts as a GAP for RhoA, and controls recruitment of citron and myosin II to the plasma membrane of mitotic lymphocytes as well as Rock2-mediated phosphorylation of vimentin, which is crucial to maintain the stiffness and shape of lymphocytes. In addition to its effects on cell shape, silencing of ARHGAP19 in lymphocytes also impairs chromosome segregation.

Abstract
Mutations altering the gene encoding the SLAM associated protein (SAP) are responsible for the X-linked lymphoproliferative disease or XLP1. Its absence is correlated with a defective NKT cells development, a decrease in B cell functions and a reduced T cells and NK cells cytotoxic activities, thus leading to an immunodeficiency syndrome. SAP is a small 128 amino-acid long protein that is almost exclusively composed of an SH2 domain. It has been shown to interact with the CD150/SLAM family of receptors, and in a non-canonical manner with SH3 containing proteins such as Fyn, βPIX, PKCθ and Nck1. It would thus play the role of a minimal adaptor protein. It has been shown that SAP plays an important function in the activation of T cells through its interaction with the SLAM family of receptors. Therefore SAP defective T cells display a reduced activation of signaling events downstream of the TCR-CD3 complex triggering. In the present work, we evidence that SAP is a direct interactor of the CD3ζ chain. This direct interaction occurs through the first ITAM of CD3ζ, proximal to the membrane. Additionally, we show that, in the context of the TCR-CD3 signaling, an Sh-RNA mediated silencing of SAP is responsible for a decrease of several canonical T cell signaling pathways including Erk, Akt and PLCγ1 and to a reduced induction of IL-2 and IL-4 mRNA. Altogether, we show that SAP plays a central function in the T cell activation processes through a direct association with the CD3 complex.

Abstract
The dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton and its regulation by Rho GTPases are essential to maintain cell shape, to allow cell motility and are also critical during cell cycle progression and mitosis. Rho GTPases and their effectors are involved in cell rounding at mitosis onset, in chromosomes alignment and are required for contraction of the actomyosin ring that separates daughter cells at the end of mitosis. Recent studies have revealed how a number of nucleotide exchange factors and GTPase-activating proteins regulate the activity of Rho GTPases during these processes. This review will focus on how the cell cycle machinery, in turn, regulates expression of proteins in the Rho signaling pathways through transcriptional activation, ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation and modulates their activity through phosphorylation by mitotic kinases.

Abstract
GILZ (glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper) is an ubiquitous protein whose expression is induced by glucocorticoids in lymphoid cells. We previously showed that GILZ expression is rapidly induced upon interleukin 2 deprivation in T-cells, protecting cells from apoptosis induced by forkhead box subgroup O3 (FOXO3). The aim of this work is to elucidate the molecular mechanism of FOXO factor inhibition by GILZ. We show in the myeloid cell line HL-60 and the lymphoid CTLL-2 T-cell line that GILZ down-regulates the expression of p27(KIP1) and Bim, two FOXO targets involved in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis, respectively. GILZ inhibits FOXO1, FOXO3, and FOXO4 transcriptional activities measured with natural or synthetic FOXO-responsive promoters in HL-60 cells. This inhibitory effect is independent of protein kinase B and IkappaB kinase phosphorylation sites. GILZ does not hinder FOXO3 DNA-binding activity and does not physically interact with FOXO3. However, using fluorescence microscopy, we observe that GILZ expression provokes a Crm-1-dependent nuclear exclusion of FOXO3 leading to its relocalization to the cytoplasm. Moreover, GILZ exclusive cytoplasmic localization is a prerequisite for FOXO3 inhibition and relocalization. We propose that GILZ is a general inhibitor of FOXO factors acting through an original mechanism by preventing them from reaching target genes within the nucleus.

Abstract
Suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) proteins are inducible feedback inhibitors of Janus kinase (JAK) and signal transducers and activators of transcription signalling (STAT) pathways. Interferon (IFN)-gamma induces the expression of the socs1 gene in several cell types through several cis elements present in its promoter and their binding proteins. Socs1 expression is induced in the human keratinocytes HaCaT cell line through sequential activation of STAT1 and IRF-1. Comparison of the 5'-upstream sequences of the mouse and human socs1 genes identified conserved binding sites for IRF-1 regulatory elements. Although this response element is able to bind IRF-1 in human cells, no IFN-gamma responsiveness was observed with human socs1 promoter reporter constructs containing this element. In contrast the mouse socs1 promoter was fully responsive. The mouse promoter contains two cis-acting elements which modulate its expression and are recognized by IRF-1 and Sp2. Despite the absence of Sp2 in the 5'-upstream sequence of the human promoter, silencing of Sp2 by RNA interference clearly demonstrated that Sp2 is required for IFN-gamma-induced regulation of socs1 mRNA both in human and mouse.

Abstract
Rho GTPases are critical for mitosis progression and completion of cytokinesis. During mitosis, the GDP/GTP cycle of Rho GTPases is regulated by the exchange factor Ect2 and the GTPase activating protein MgcRacGAP which associates with the kinesin MKLP1 in the centralspindlin complex. We report here that expression of Ect2, MgcRacGAP, and MKLP1 is tightly regulated during cell cycle progression. These three genes share similar cell cycle-related signatures within their promoter regions: (i) cell cycle gene homology region (CHR) sites located at -20 to +40 nucleotides of their transcription start sites that are required for repression in G(1), (ii) E2F binding elements, and (iii) tandem repeats of target sequences for the CUX1 transcription factor. CUX1 and E2F1 bind these three promoters upon S-phase entry, as demonstrated by chromatin immunoprecipitation, and regulate transcription of these genes, as established using promoter-luciferase reporter constructs and expression of activated or dominant negative transcription factors. Overexpression of either E2F1 or CUX1 increased the levels of the endogenous proteins whereas small interfering RNA knockdown of E2F1 or use of a dominant negative E2F1 reduced their expression levels. Thus, CUX1, E2F, and CHR elements provide the transcriptional controls that coordinate induction of Ect2, MgcRacGAP, and MKLP1 in S phase, leading to peak expression of these interacting proteins in G(2)/M, at the time they are required to regulate cytokinesis.

Abstract
Tumor cells evade adaptive immunity by a variety of mechanisms, including selection of variants that are resistant to specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) pressure. Recently, we have reported that the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton can be used by tumor cells as a strategy to promote their resistance to CTL-mediated lysis. In this study, we further examined the functional features of a CTL-resistant tumor variant and investigated the relationship between cytoskeleton alteration, the acquisition of tumor resistance to CTL-induced cell death, Rho-GTPases, and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) pathways. Our data indicate that although the resistant cells do not display an increased migratory potential, an alteration of adhesion to the extracellular matrix was observed. When Rho-GTPases were activated in cells by the bacterial CNF1 (cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1), striking changes in the cell morphology, including actin cytoskeleton, focal adhesions, and membrane extensions, were observed. More importantly, such activation also resulted in a significant attenuation of resistance to CTL-induced cell death. Furthermore, we demonstrate that FAK signaling pathways were constitutively defective in the resistant cells. Silencing of FAK in the sensitive target cells resulted in the inhibition of immune synapse formation with specific CTLs and their subsequent lysis. Expression of the FAK mutant (Y397F) resulted in an inhibition of IGR-Heu cell adhesion and of their susceptibility to specific lysis. These results suggest that FAK activation plays a role in the control of tumor cell susceptibility to CTL-mediated lysis.

Abstract
In a series of 84 head and neck patients, a statistically significant correlation was observed between high serum soluble interleukin (IL)-2 receptor alpha (sIL-2Ralpha) (P = 0.034) and metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) concentrations (P = 0.036) at diagnosis and a shorter survival of these patients. As MMP-9 has been shown to mediate cleavage of IL-2Ralpha (CD25) by preactivated T cells, we looked for a relationship between MMP-9 expression and soluble IL-2Ralpha serum concentrations in these cancer patients. We did not find any correlation between intratumoral expression of MMP-9 or serum MMP-9 concentrations and serum sIL-2Ralpha levels. These results led us to reassess the role of MMP-9 in the release of sIL-2Ralpha. Treatment of Kit225 leukaemic cells with recombinant MMP-9 slightly decreased membrane CD25 expression and was associated with an increased concentration of sIL-2Ralpha in the supernatants. However, using a selective inhibitor of MMP-9 we did not succeed in specifically inhibiting the release of sIL-2Ralpha by the Kit225 cell line or by phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In addition, in a preclinical mouse model, basal serum sIL-2Ralpha concentrations and sIL-2Ralpha production by activated cells were not altered in MMP-9-deficient mice compared to wild-type mice. Interestingly, a broad spectrum metalloproteinase inhibitor inhibited the release of sIL-2Ralpha by PHA-activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells, suggesting that in contrast with current views concerning the major role of MMP-9 in the cleavage of membrane IL-2Ralpha, other proteases are involved in the shedding of sIL-2Ralpha. MMP-9 and sIL-2Ralpha appear therefore as independent prognostic markers in head and neck cancers.

Abstract
Macrophage cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) plays an important role in prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane A2 production. Statins are inhibitors of HMG CoA (3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A) reductases and cholesterol synthesis, which block the expression of several inflammatory proteins independent of their capacity to lower endogenous cholesterol. In the present study, we investigated the effect of simvastatin and mevastatin on COX-2 induction in human monocytic cell line U937 and analyzed the underlying mechanisms. Pretreatment of U937 cells with simvastatin or mevastatin for 24 h resulted in a significant reduction in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-dependent induction of prostaglandin E2, thromboxane A2 synthesis, and COX-2 expression. Mevalonate, the direct metabolite of HMG CoA reductase, and farnesyl pyrophosphate and geranylgeranyl-pyrophosphate, intermediates of the mevalonate pathway, significantly reversed the inhibitory effect of statins on COX-2. An inhibitor of geranylgeranyl transferases, GGTI-286 mimicked the effect of statins on COX-2 expression. Cytonecrotic factor-1 increased LPS-dependent expression of COX-2. Treatment of cells with NSC 23766, an inhibitor of Rac, which we demonstrated to block Rac 2 activation, resulted in an inhibition of the LPS-dependent expression of COX-2. Whereas no effect was obtained with RhoA/C blocker, C3 exoenzyme. Gel retardation experiments and NFkappaB-p65 transcription factor assay showed that simvastatin and NSC 23766 decrease significantly NF-kappaB complex formation. In macrophages, the antiinflammatory effects of statins are mediated in part through the inhibition of COX-2 and prostanoids. Rac GTPase protein is identified as one of the targets of statins in this regulation.

Abstract
Hexadecylphosphocholine (HePC) is an anticancer agent whose effect has been shown to involve apoptosis induction but the signaling pathways leading to apoptosis remain to be elucidated. We show here that HePC induces activation of caspase-9, -3, and -8 via the intrinsic pathway, release of cytochrome c, activation and relocation of Bax to the mitochondria as well as the cleavage of Bid. Moreover, a lysosomal pathway characterized by partial lysosomal rupture, cathepsin B activation and relocation from lysosomes to the cytosol, is involved in HePC-induced apoptosis. A cathepsin B/L inhibitor partially suppresses caspase activation and apoptosis induction, indicating signaling between lysosomes and mitochondria. Conversely, the pancaspase inhibitor Q-VD-OPH inhibits lysosomal rupture, but only at early time points, suggesting that immediate lysosomal rupture involves caspases. Overexpression of Bcl-2, an anti-apoptotic protein known to prevent mitochondrial dysfunction, totally abrogates lysosomal destabilization and cell death.

Abstract
Platelets are released by megakaryocytes (MKs) via cytoplasmic extensions called proplatelets, which require profound changes in the microtubule and actin organization. Here, we provide evidence that the Rho/ROCK pathway, a well-known regulator of actin cytoskeleton, acts as a negative regulator of proplatelet formation (PPF). Rho is expressed at a high level during the entire MK differentiation including human CD34(+) cells. Thrombopoietin stimulates its activity but at a higher extent in immature than in mature MKs. Overexpression of a dominant-negative or a spontaneously active RhoA leads to an increase or a decrease in PPF indicating that Rho activation inhibits PPF. This inhibitory effect is mediated through the main Rho effector, Rho kinase (ROCK), the inhibition of which also increases PPF. Furthermore, inhibition of Rho or ROCK in MKs leads to a decrease in myosin light chain 2 (MLC2) phosphorylation, which is required for myosin contractility. Interestingly, inhibition of the MLC kinase also decreases MLC2 phosphorylation while increasing PPF. Taken together, our results suggest that MLC2 phosphorylation is regulated by both ROCK and MLC kinase and plays an important role in platelet biogenesis by controlling PPF and fragmentation.

Abstract
The apoptotic signals activated by As(2)O(3) in the chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cell lines K562 and KCL22 were investigated. As(2)O(3) was found to induce apoptosis in these cells via the intrinsic pathway. As(2)O(3) also induced a sustained c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) activation which preceded and was necessary for caspase-9 activation. We established that Rho and its effector, the kinase ROCK, are activated by As(2)O(3). Inhibition of either Rho or ROCK prevented JNK activation and protected against apoptosis. Thus, in CML cells, apoptosis induced by As(2)O(3) is mediated, at least in part, via a Rho-ROCK-JNK axis. These findings define a novel signaling pathway for As(2)O(3)-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
Ubiquitylation of RhoA has emerged as an important aspect of both the virulence of Escherichia coli producing cytotoxic necrotizing factor (CNF) 1 toxin and the establishment of the polarity of eukaryotic cells. Owing to the molecular activity of CNF1, we have investigated the relationship between permanent activation of RhoA catalyzed by CNF1 and subsequent ubiquitylation of RhoA by Smurf1. Using Smurf1-deficient cells and by RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated Smurf1 knockdown, we demonstrate that Smurf1 is a rate-limiting and specific factor of the ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of activated RhoA. We further show that the cancer cell lines HEp-2, human embryonic kidney 293 and Vero are specifically deficient in ubiquitylation of either activated Rac, Cdc42, or Rho, respectively. In contrast, CNF1 produced the cellular depletion of all three isoforms of Rho proteins in the primary human cell types we have tested. We demonstrate that ectopic expression of Smurf1 in Vero cells, deficient for RhoA ubiquitylation, restores ubiquitylation of the activated forms of RhoA. We conclude here that Smurf1 ubiquitylates activated RhoA and that, in contrast to human primary cell types, some cancer cell lines have a lower ubiquitylation capacity of specific Rho proteins. Thus, both CNF1 and transforming growth factor-beta trigger activated RhoA ubiquitylation through Smurf1 ubiquitin-ligase.

Abstract
The CDP/Cux transcription factor was previously found to acquire distinct DNA binding and transcriptional properties following a proteolytic processing event that takes place at the G1/S transition of the cell cycle. In the present study, we have investigated the role of the CDP/Cux processed isoform, p110, in cell cycle progression. Populations of cells stably expressing p110 CDP/Cux displayed a faster division rate and reached higher saturation density than control cells carrying the empty vector. p110 CDP/Cux cells reached the next S phase faster than control cells under various experimental conditions: following cell synchronization in G0 by growth factor deprivation, synchronization in S phase by double thymidine block treatment, or enrichment in G2 by centrifugal elutriation. In each case, duration of the G1 phase was shortened by 2 to 4 h. Gene inactivation confirmed the role of CDP/Cux as an accelerator of cell cycle progression, since mouse embryo fibroblasts obtained from Cutl1z/z mutant mice displayed a longer G1 phase and proliferated more slowly than their wild-type counterparts. The delay to enter S phase persisted following immortalization by the 3T3 protocol and transformation with H-RasV12. Moreover, CDP/Cux inactivation hindered both the formation of foci on a monolayer and tumor growth in mice. At the molecular level, expression of both cyclin E2 and A2 was increased in the presence of p110 CDP/Cux and decreased in its absence. Overall, these results establish that p110 CDP/Cux functions as a cell cycle regulator that accelerates entry into S phase.

Abstract
Rho GTPases are key regulators of many cellular functions, including cytoskeleton organization which is important for cell morphology and mobility, gene expression, cell cycle progression, and cytokinesis. In addition, it has recently been recognized that Rho GTPase activity is required for development of the immune system, as well as for the specialized functions of the peripheral cells that act in the immune response such as antigen presenting cells and lymphocytes. Stimulation of T lymphocytes with interleukin-2 (IL-2) induces clonal expansion of antigen-specific populations and provides a model to study cell cycle entry and cell cycle progression. We have performed gene expression analysis in a model of human T lymphocytes, which proliferate in response to IL-2. In addition to changes in genes relevant to cell cycling and to the antiapoptotic effects of IL-2, we have analyzed expression and variations of more than 300 genes involved in Rho GTPase signaling pathways. We report here that IL-2 regulates the expression of a number of proteins, which participate in the Rho GTPase pathways, including some of the GTPases themselves, GDP/GTP exchange factors, GTPase activating proteins, as well as GDIs and effectors. Our results suggest that regulation of expression of components of the Rho GTPase pathways may be an important mechanism in assembling specific signal transduction cascades that need to be active at certain times during the cell cycle. Some of our findings may also be relevant to the roles of Rho GTPases in T lymphocyte functions and proliferation.

Abstract
Caspase activation in target cells is a major function of granzyme B (grB) during cytotoxic lymphocyte granule-induced apoptosis. grB-mediated cell death can occur in the absence of active caspases, and the molecular targets responsible for this additional pathway remain poorly defined. Apoptotic plasma membrane blebbing is caspase independent during granule exocytosis–mediated cell death, whereas in other instances, this event is a consequence of the cleavage by caspases of the Rho effector, Rho-associated coiled coil–containing protein kinase (ROCK) I. We show here that grB directly cleaves ROCK II, a ROCK family member encoded by a separate gene and closely related to ROCK I, and this causes constitutive kinase activity and bleb formation. For the first time, two proteins of the same family are found to be specifically cleaved by either a caspase or grB, thus defining two independent pathways with similar phenotypic consequences in the cells. During granule-induced cell death, ROCK II cleavage by grB would overcome, for this apoptotic feature, the consequences of deficient caspase activation that may occur in virus-infected or malignant target cells.

Abstract
We have analyzed the promoter of human gilz (glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper), a dexamethasone-inducible gene that is involved in regulating apoptosis, and identified six glucocorticoid (GC)-responsive elements and three Forkhead responsive elements (FHREs). Promoter deletion analysis and point mutations showed that individual mutation of the GC-responsive elements does not affect GC-induced transcription and that FHRE-1 and FHRE-3 elements contribute to the effects of GCs. Furthermore, overexpression of the Forkhead transcription factor FoxO3 enhances GC-induced gilz mRNA expression. The functional significance of the interaction between FoxO3 and GC receptor was established in T lymphocytes. Indeed, we show that GCs failed to induce GILZ expression in the presence of IL-2, a cytokine known to antagonize GC effects in T cells. Using a constitutive active mutant of protein kinase B that inactivates FoxO3 or a FoxO3 mutant that cannot be inactivated by protein kinase B, we demonstrate that IL-2 inhibitory effects on GILZ expression are mediated through inhibition of FoxO3 transcriptional activity. Therefore, FoxO3 appears to be a key factor mediating GC and IL-2 antagonism for gilz regulation in T lymphocytes. This regulation of GILZ expression was placed in a meaningful context in evaluating the effects of GILZ on GC-induced apoptosis in T lymphocytes.

Abstract
IL-2 stimulation of T lymphocytes induces the tyrosine phosphorylation and adaptor function of the insulin receptor substrate/Grb2-associated binder (Gab) family member, Gab2. In addition, Gab2 undergoes a marked decrease in its mobility in SDS-PAGE, characteristic of migration shifts induced by serine/threonine phosphorylations in many proteins. This migration shift was strongly diminished by treating cells with the MEK inhibitor U0126, indicating a possible role for ERK in Gab2 phosphorylation. Indeed, ERK phosphorylated Gab2 on a consensus phosphorylation site at serine 623, a residue located between tyrosine 614 and tyrosine 643 that are responsible for Gab2/Src homology 2 domain-containing tyrosine phosphatase (SHP)-2 interaction. We report that pretreatment of Kit 225 cells with U0126 increased Gab2/SHP-2 association and tyrosine phosphorylation of SHP-2 in response to IL-2, suggesting that ERK phosphorylation of serine 623 regulates the interaction between Gab2 and SHP-2, and consequently the activity of SHP-2. This hypothesis was confirmed by biochemical analysis of cells expressing Gab2 WT, Gab2 serine 623A or Gab2 tyrosine 614F, a mutant that cannot interact with SHP-2 in response to IL-2. Activation of the ERK pathway was indeed blocked by Gab2 tyrosine 614F and slightly increased by Gab2 serine 623A. In contrast, STAT5 activation was strongly enhanced by Gab2 tyrosine 614F, slightly reduced by Gab2 WT and strongly inhibited by Gab2 serine 623A. Analysis of the rate of proliferation of cells expressing these mutants of Gab2 demonstrated that tyrosine 614F mutation enhanced proliferation whereas serine 623A diminished it. These results demonstrate that ERK-mediated phosphorylation of Gab2 serine 623 is involved in fine tuning the proliferative response of T lymphocytes to IL-2.

Abstract
Gab2 (Grb2-associated binder-2), a member of the IRS (insulin receptor substrate)/Gab family of adapter proteins, undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation in response to cytokine or growth factor stimulation and serves as a docking platform for many signal transduction effectors, including the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 [SH2 (Src homology 2)-domain-containing tyrosine phosphatase]. Here, we report that, following IL-2 (interleukin-2) stimulation of human T lymphocytes, SHP-2 binds tyrosine residues 614 and 643 of human Gab2 through its N- and C-terminal SH2 domains respectively. However, the sole mutation of Tyr-614 into phenylalanine is sufficient to prevent Gab2 from recruiting SHP-2. Expression of the Gab2 Tyr-614-->Phe (Y614F) mutant, defective in SHP-2 association, prevents ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase) activation and expression of a luciferase reporter plasmid driven by the c-fos SRE (serum response element), indicating that interaction of SHP-2 with Gab2 is required for ERK activation in response to IL-2. Further investigation of IL-2-dependent induction of SRE showed that expression of a constitutively active mutant of the RhoA GTPase synergizes with IL-2 for SRE-driven transcription, whereas a dominant-negative mutant reduces the IL-2 response. Thus, in response to IL-2, full induction of the SRE requires ERK-dependent as well as Rho-dependent signals that target the Ets-box and the CArG-box respectively. We also report that the synergy between Gab2/SHP-2 and RhoA for IL-2-dependent CArG-box-driven transcription depends upon MEK (mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase) activation, and is likely to involve regulation of the serum response factor co-activator MAL. Our studies thus provide new insights into the role of Gab2 and SHP-2 in IL-2 signal transduction.

Abstract
Supressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-1 is selectively and rapidly induced by appropriate agonists and modulates cytokine responses by interfering with the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (Jak/STAT) pathway. On the basis of the observation that interleukin (IL)-4 up-regulates Socs-1 in the keratinocyte HaCaT cell line, we investigated which sequences of the 5'-Socs-1 gene are responsive to IL-4. We therefore have cloned the 5'-flanking region of this gene, and by promoter analysis we identified a functional IL-4-responsive element located at nucleotide (-684/-570) upstream from the transcription initiation site, whose presence and integrity are necessary to ensure IL-4 responsiveness. This element contains three STAT6 and one Ets consensus binding sequences of which specific mutations abolished IL-4 responsiveness either partially or totally. We also report that Ets-1 physically interacted with STAT6. Exogenous expression of Ets-1 in conjunction with STAT6 activation strongly inhibited expression of a Socs-1 promoter-luciferase reporter. Collectively, our data demonstrated the involvement of STAT6 and Ets, via a composite DNA element, in the IL-4 regulation of Socs-1 gene expression in keratinocytes.

Abstract
The actin cytoskeleton plays a major role in platelet function. In contrast, its precise role in the function of megakaryocytes (MKs) is less understood but may be important for a chemoattractive response and an efficient proplatelet formation. In the marrow microenvironment, mature MKs are in contact with the extracellular matrix, including fibrillar collagen type I. MKs express alpha2beta1 integrin and the immunoglobulin superfamily member glycoprotein VI (GPVI), the main receptors for collagen. Using function-blocking antibodies or specific ligands, we investigated in primary human MKs how alpha2beta1 integrin and GPVI regulate stress fiber formation, the primary actin structures needed for cell contraction. Stress fiber assembly requires synergistic activation of the MAPK/Erk1/2 pathway and the small guanosine triphosphatase Rho via its effector, Rho-associated coiled-coil kinase (ROCK). alpha2beta1 integrin is crucial for stress fiber formation, whereas GPVI triggers rapid and sustained activation of the Erk1/2 pathway. Strikingly, after a longer adhesion time, proplatelet formation was significantly inhibited by the engagement of alpha2beta1 integrin, not by GPVI, likely through the Rho/ROCK pathway. Thus, proplatelet formation in human MKs could be tightly regulated by differential interactions with their collagen receptors. We propose that this interaction with collagen prevents proplatelet formation within the marrow.

Abstract
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) withdrawal is a physiologic process inducing cell death in activated T lymphocytes. Glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ) has recently been identified as a protein modulating T-cell receptor activation by repressing various signaling pathways. We report here that IL-2 deprivation leads to expression of GILZ in T lymphocytes. We then characterized the human gilz promoter and showed that FoxO3 (Forkhead box class O3) binding to the Forkhead responsive elements identified in the promoter is necessary for induction of gilz expression upon IL-2 withdrawal. To assess the functional consequences of this induction, we used 2 strategies, GILZ overexpression and GILZ silencing in murine IL-2-dependent CTLL-2 cells. GILZ overexpression protects CTLL-2 cells from IL-2 withdrawal-induced apoptosis, whereas cell death is accelerated in cells unable to express GILZ. Concomitantly, the expression of Bim is inhibited in GILZ-overexpressing cells and enhanced when GILZ expression is impaired. Furthermore, GILZ inhibits FoxO3 transcriptional activity that leads to inhibition of Bim expression but also to down-regulation of GILZ itself. Therefore, GILZ is a transiently expressed protein induced upon IL-2 withdrawal that protects T cells from the onset of apoptosis.

Abstract
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is produced by activation of Gs protein-coupled receptors and regulates many physiological processes through activation of protein kinase A (PKA). However, a large body of evidence indicates that cAMP also regulates specific cellular functions through PKA-independent pathways. Here, we show that a small GTPase of the Rho family, Rac, is regulated by cAMP in a PKA-independent manner. We also show that Rac activation results from activation of Rap1 through the cAMP guanine nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) Epac1. Activation of the Gs-coupled serotonin 5-HT(4) receptor initiates this signalling cascade in various cell types. Furthermore, we demonstrate that crosstalk between the Ras and Rho GTPase families is involved in cAMP-dependent processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP), a key protein in Alzheimer's disease. Indeed, Epac1 regulates secretion of the non-amyloidogenic soluble form of APP (sAPPalpha) through Rap1 and Rac. Our data identify an unsuspected connection between two families of small GTPases and imply that Rac can function downstream of cAMP/Epac1/Rap1 in a novel signal transduction secretory pathway.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 are two structurally and functionally related cytokines that have overlapping but also distinct biological activities. One of the components of the IL-13 receptor, the alpha2 chain (IL-13Ralpha2), has been reported to downregulate the cell responsiveness to IL-13, without affecting IL-4 signaling. Here, we report that TNFalpha synergizes with either IL-4 or IL-13 in inducing the IL-13Ralpha2 chain at both the mRNA and protein levels in the HaCaT human keratinocyte cell line. Further studies by 5'RACE identified as yet undescribed exonic sequences of the IL-13Ralpha2 5'UTR, provided evidence for the expression of alternatively spliced IL-13Ralpha2 transcripts and defined the transcription start of the IL-13Ralpha2 gene. A 1.5 kb region upstream of the first exon of the IL-13Ralpha2 gene displayed basal promoter activity when inserted in a reporter plasmid and transiently transfected in HaCaT cells. This promoter activity was further increased in response to IL-4 and IL-13. Furthermore, by electrophoretic mobility shift assay and site-directed mutagenesis, we showed that the IL-4/IL-13-induced promoter activity depended upon a positively acting STAT6 response element. Finally, TNFalpha was shown to potentiate IL-4/IL-13-induced IL-13Ralpha2 promoter activity when the same reporter construct was studied in stably but not in transiently transfected cells. These results suggest that the synergistic effect of TNFalpha on IL-4/IL-13-induced IL-13Ralpha2 expression is dependent upon chromatin re-modeling events.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and COX-1 play an important role in prostacyclin production in vessels and participate in maintaining vascular homeostasis. Statins are inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase, which is crucial in cholesterol biosynthesis. Recently, cholesterol-independent effects of statins have been described. In this study, we evaluated the effect of two inhibitors of HMG CoA reductase, mevastatin and lovastatin, on the production of prostacyclin and the expression of COX in human aortic smooth muscle cells. Treatment of cells with 25 microm mevastatin or lovastatin resulted in the induction of COX-2 and increase in prostacyclin production. Mevalonate, the direct metabolite of HMG CoA reductase, and geranylgeranyl-pyrophosphate reversed this effect. GGTI-286, a selective inhibitor of geranylgeranyltransferases, increased COX-2 expression and prostacyclin formation, thus indicating the involvement of geranylgeranylated proteins in the down-regulation of COX-2. Furthermore, Clostridium difficile toxin B, an inhibitor of the Rho GTP-binding protein family, the Rho selective inhibitor C3 transferase, and Y-27632, a selective inhibitor of the Rho-associated kinases, targets of Rho A, increased COX-2 expression whereas the activator of the Rho GTPase, the cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1, blocked interlukin-1alpha-dependent COX-2 induction. These results demonstrate that statins up-regulate COX-2 expression and subsequent prostacyclin formation in human aortic smooth muscle cells in part through inhibition of Rho.

Abstract
IL-4 and IL-13 are related cytokines which induce both pro- and anti-inflammatory effects depending on the cell type they act upon and the nature of the receptors expressed. The type I receptor complex is composed of the IL-4Ralpha and gammac and only binds IL-4, whereas, in the type II receptor, IL-4Ralpha dimerizes with IL-13Ralpha1 upon either IL-4 or IL-13 binding. Another ligand binding chain potentially implicated in the IL-4/IL-13 receptor has been described, the IL-13Ralpha2, but the regulation of its expression and its role in IL-4/IL-13 transduction is poorly understood. In this study we report that IL-4 and IL-13 upregulate IL-13Ralpha2 at both the mRNA and protein levels in the keratinocyte cell line HaCaT. In these cells, IL-4 or IL-13 were shown to activate the Janus Kinases JAK1 and JAK2, the transcription factor STAT6, and the ERK and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases. We show that IL-4 or IL-13-induced IL-13Ralpha2 mRNA expression was inhibited by the ERK inhibitor U0126, the JAK inhibitor AG490 and, to a lesser extent, the p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580. Moreover, expression of a constitutive active mutant of STAT6 alone did not modify IL-13Ralpha2 mRNA expression, but potentiated the effects of IL-4 or IL-13 on IL-13Ralpha2 expression. The constitutive active mutants of MEK1 or MKK6 increased the level of expression of IL-13Ralpha2 mRNA even in absence of stimulation. Our findings demonstrate, for the first time, that IL-4 and IL-13 can induce IL-13Ralpha2 expression in keratinocytes, and that the ERK and p38 MAPK together with JAK2 and STAT6 play a critical role in this process.

Cytokines and glucocorticoids (GCs) signaling pathways interfere with each other in the regulation of apoptosis and gene expression in the immune system. Interleukin-2 (IL-2), through the Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (Jak/STAT) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, activates STAT5 and activated protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factors, respectively, which are known to repress glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activity, at least in part, through protein-protein interactions. In this work, we have analyzed the mechanisms whereby IL-2 down-regulates the GC-induced transactivation of the mouse mammary tumor virus long terminal repeat (MMTV-LTR) in murine CTLL-2 T lymphocytes. Mutagenesis studies revealed that the MMTV-LTR STAT5 binding site (-923/-914) was not required for IL-2-mediated inhibition but identified both glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) and the -104/+1 region as critical elements for this negative response. The DNA binding activities of transcription factors required for GC-mediated activation of the MMTV-LTR promoter and that bind to the -104/+1 region (nuclear factor-1, Oct-1) were not affected by IL-2 treatment. Overexpression of wild-type STAT5B enhanced the effect of IL-2 on MMTV-LTR activity, and a dominant negative form of STAT5B (Y699F) abolished the IL-2-mediated MMTV-LTR inhibition, whereas AP-1 activation had no effect in this system. Direct interaction between liganded GR and STAT5 was observed in CTLL-2 cells in a STAT5 phosphorylation-independent manner. Overexpression of nuclear coactivators CBP (CREB-binding protein) or SRC-1a (steroid receptor coactivator 1a) did not blunt IL-2 inhibitory effects. We suggest that the STAT5-repressive activity on the GC-dependent transcription may involve direct interaction of STAT5 with GR, is dependent on the promoter context and STAT5 activation level, and occurs independently of coactivators levels in T cells.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the coupling of human urotensin II (hU-II) to RhoA activation and regulation of RhoA-dependent functions. The use of the Rho-kinase inhibitor Y-27632 and the development of a membrane-permeant RhoA inhibitor (TAT-C3) allowed us to demonstrate that hU-II induced arterial smooth muscle contraction, actin stress fiber formation, and proliferation through the activation of the small GTPase RhoA and its downstream effector Rho-kinase.

Abstract
Human interleukin-2 (IL-2) interacts with two types of functional receptors (IL-2R alpha betagamma and IL-2R betagamma) and acts on a broad range of target cells involved in inflammatory reactions and immune responses. IL-2 is also used in different clinical trials aimed at improving the treatment of some cancers and the recovery of CD4 lymphocytes by HIV patients. The therapeutic index of IL-2 is limited by various side effects dominated by the vascular leak syndrome. We have shown that a chemically synthesised fragment of the IL-2 sequence can fold into a helical tetramer likely mimicking the quatemary structure of an hemopoietin. Indeed, peptide p1-30 (containing amino acids 1 to 30, including the sequence corresponding to the entire alpha helix A of IL-2) spontaneously folds into an alpha-helical homotetramer and stimulates the growth of T-cell lines expressing human IL-2R beta, whereas shorter versions of the peptide lack helical structure and are inactive. At the cellular level, p1-30 induces lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells and preferentially activates CD8 low lymphocytes and natural killer cells, which constitutively express IL-2R beta. A significant IFN-gamma production is also detected following p1-30 stimulation. A mutant form of p1-30 (Asp20-->Lys) which is likely unable to induce vascular leak syndrome remains capable to generate LAK cells like the original p1-30 peptide. Altogether our data suggest that p1-30 has therapeutic potential.

Abstract
p97/Gab2 is a recently characterized member of a large family of scaffold proteins that play essential roles in signal transduction. Gab2 becomes tyrosine-phosphorylated in response to a variety of growth factors and forms multimolecular complexes with SH2 domain-containing signaling molecules such as the p85-regulatory subunit of the phosphoinositide-3-kinase (p85-PI3K), the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 and the adapter protein CrkL. To characterize the interactions between Gab2 and its SH2-containing binding partners, we designed a modified yeast two-hybrid system in which the Lyn tyrosine kinase is expressed in a regulated manner in yeast. Using this assay, we demonstrated that p97/Gab2 specifically interacts with the SH2 domains of PI3K, SHP-2 and CrkL. Interaction with p85-PI3K is mediated by tyrosine residues Y452, Y476 and Y584 of Gab2, while interaction with SHP-2 depends exclusively on tyrosine Y614. CrkL interaction is mediated by its SH2 domain recognizing Y266 and Y293, despite the latter being in a non-consensus (YTFK) environment.

Abstract
Increased phosphorylation of myosin light chain (MLC) is necessary for the dynamic membrane blebbing that is observed at the onset of apoptosis. Here we identify ROCK I, an effector of the small GTPase Rho, as a new substrate for caspases. ROCK I is cleaved by caspase-3 at a conserved DETD1113/G sequence and its carboxy-terminal inhibitory domain is removed, resulting in deregulated and constitutive kinase activity. ROCK proteins are known to regulate MLC-phosphorylation, and apoptotic cells exhibit a gradual increase in levels of phosphorylated MLC concomitant with ROCK I cleavage. This phosphorylation, as well as membrane blebbing, is abrogated by inhibition of caspases or ROCK proteins, but both processes are independent of Rho activity. We also show that expression of active truncated ROCK I induces cell blebbing. Thus, activation of ROCK I by caspase-3 seems to be responsible for bleb formation in apoptotic cells.

Abstract
In studies aimed at further characterizing the cellular immunodeficiency of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS), we found that T lymphocytes from WAS patients display abnormal chemotaxis in response to the T-cell chemoattractant stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1. The Wiskott- Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP), together with the Rho family GTPase Cdc42, control stimulus-induced actin cytoskeleton rearrangements that are involved in cell motility. Because WASP is an effector of Cdc42, we further studied how Cdc42 and WASP are involved in SDF-1-induced chemotaxis of T lymphocytes. We provide here direct evidence that SDF-1 activates Cdc42. We then specifically investigated the role of the interaction between Cdc42 and WASP in SDF-1-responsive cells. This was achieved by abrogating this interaction with a recombinant polypeptide (TAT-CRIB), comprising the Cdc42/Rac interactive binding (CRIB) domain of WASP and a human immunodeficiency virus-TAT peptide that renders the fusion protein cell-permeant. This TAT-CRIB protein was shown to bind specifically to Cdc42-GTP and to inhibit the chemotactic response of a T-cell line to SDF-1. Altogether, these data demonstrate that Cdc42-WASP interaction is critical for SDF-1-induced chemotaxis of T cells.

Abstract
In lymphocytes, glucocorticoids (GC)- and interleukin-4-signaling pathways are known to interact, as evidenced by inhibition of IL-4-mediated proliferation by dexamethasone or suppression of GC-induced apoptosis by IL-4. In this study, we characterized the molecular basis for this reciprocal interference. We report that, in murine CTLL-2 cells, IL-4 inhibits GC-induced MMTV (mouse mammary tumor virus) promoter transactivation, and that GC suppress IL-4-induced transactivation of a STAT6 (signal transducers and activators of transcription 6)-responsive promoter without affecting IL-4-stimulated STAT6 DNA-binding. Moreover, we evidenced a physical association between GC receptor and STAT6, which proved to be functionally relevant, since STAT6 overexpression increased the IL-4 inhibitory effect on GC-induced MMTV transactivation.

Abstract
Cell proliferation is controlled by cdk2 which in association with cyclin E and A regulates G1/S transition and S phase progression. cdk2 activation is dependent on its localization in the nucleus where regulatory mediators are found. We report that activation of cdk2 is associated with the formation of cdk2/MAP Kinase complexes. cdk2 associates with both inactive and activated MAP Kinase. Prevention of MAP Kinase activation by the MEK inhibitor PD98059 inhibits both activation and nuclear localization of cdk2 and S phase entry. These findings indicate that the nuclear translocation of cdk2 is associated with the formation of molecular complexes containing active MAP Kinase and is dependent on MAP Kinase activation.

Abstract
The potent vasodilator action of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (cGK) involves decreasing the Ca(2+) sensitivity of contraction of smooth muscle via stimulation of myosin light chain phosphatase through unknown mechanisms (Wu, X., Somlyo, A. V., and Somlyo, A. P. (1996) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 220, 658-663). Myosin light chain phosphatase activity is controlled by the small GTPase RhoA and its target Rho kinase. Here we demonstrate cGMP effects mediated by cGK that inhibit RhoA-dependent Ca(2+) sensitization of contraction of blood vessels and actin cytoskeleton organization in cultured vascular myocytes. Ca(2+) sensitization and actin organization were inhibited by both 8-bromo-cGMP and sodium nitroprusside (SNP). SNP also caused translocation of activated RhoA from the membrane to the cytosol. SNP-induced actin disassembly was lost in vascular myocytes in culture after successive passages but was restored by transfection of cells with cGK I. Furthermore, cGK phosphorylated RhoA in vitro, and addition of cGK I inhibited RhoA-induced Ca(2+) sensitization in permeabilized smooth muscle. 8-Bromo-cGMP-induced actin disassembly was inhibited in vascular myocytes expressing RhoA(Ala-188), a mutant that could not be phosphorylated. Collectively, these results indicate that cGK phosphorylates and inhibits RhoA and suggest that the consequent inhibition of RhoA-induced Ca(2+) sensitization and actin cytoskeleton organization contributes to the vasodilator action of nitric oxide.

Abstract
The stress-activated pathways leading to activation of p38 MAP kinase (p38 MAPK) and c-jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) have been shown to be activated by pro-inflammatory cytokines, physical and chemical stresses as well as a variety of hematopoietic growth factors. One exception is interleukin (IL)-4, which does not activate this pathway in hematopoietic cell. We report here that in A431, a keratinocytic cell line, IL-4 activates Rac and Cdc42 and their downstream effector p21-activated kinase (PAK). Rac and Cdc42 appear to regulate a protein kinase cascade initiated at the level of PAK and leading to activation of p38 MAPK, since IL-4 stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and increases its catalytic activity. As A431 cells are able to produce IL-6 in response to IL-4 stimulation, we assessed the involvement of p38 MAPK in IL-6 gene expression. A pyrimidazole compound, SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK, inhibits production and gene expression of IL-6. SB203580 reduced significantly the stability of IL-6 mRNA. Here we provide evidence that p38 MAPK is activated in response to IL-4 and is involved in IL-6 synthesis by stabilizing IL-6 mRNA.

Abstract
Beta-lactam antibiotics elicit CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell-mediated immune responses that play a central role in allergic reactions. However, the involvement of a type 1- (Th1 or Tc1) or a type 2-like (Th2 or Tc2) differentiation in drug allergy remains unclear. We investigated the expression of interleukin 4 (IL-4) and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) mRNA by quantitative reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in patient-derived peripheral blood lymphocytes following specific in vitro stimulation. Samples were collected from a total of 19 patients who had developed immediate or delayed clinical manifestations of hypersensitivity to beta-lactam and from 11 control subjects. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were stimulated with either free antibiotics or antibiotic-human serum albumin (HSA) conjugates. Specific induction of IFN-gamma mRNA expression was observed in 11 of 11 allergic patients with immediate reactions, in 6 of 8 patients with delayed reactions, and in 4 of 11 control subjects. IL-4 mRNA expression was induced in 5 of 11 allergic individuals with immediate reactions but in none of the 8 patients with delayed responses and none of the 11 control subjects. IL-4 mRNA expression was only induced following activation with free drugs, while IFN-gamma mRNA expression was predominantly induced in CD4+ T cells following stimulation with HSA-conjugated drugs. Immediate-type hypersensitivity to beta-lactams was not associated with a pure type 2-like response when PBMCs were specifically stimulated in vitro: Some patients with well-documented history of beta-lactam-induced immediate allergic reaction showed a high IFN-gamma response. Contact dermatitis involved Tc1 and Th1 cells and other delayed hypersensitivity reactions to beta-lactams were restricted to Th1 responses.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-2 interacts with two types of functional receptors (IL-2Ralphabetagamma and IL-2Rbetagamma) and acts on a broad range of target cells involved in inflammatory reactions and immune responses. For the first time, we show that a chemically synthesized fragment of the IL-2 sequence can fold into a molecule mimicking the quaternary structure of a hemopoietin. Indeed, peptide p1-30 (containing amino acids 1-30, covering the entire alpha helix A of IL-2) spontaneously folds into an alpha-helical homotetramer and stimulates the growth of T cell lines expressing human IL-2Rbeta, whereas shorter versions of the peptide lack helical structure and are inactive. We also demonstrate that this neocytokine interacts with a previously undescribed dimeric form of IL-2Rbeta. In agreement with its binding to IL-2Rbeta, p1-30 activates Shc and p56(lck) but unlike IL-2, fails to activate Janus kinase (Jak)1, Jak3, and signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5). Unexpectedly, we also show that p1-30 activates Tyk2, thus suggesting that IL-2Rbeta may bind to different Jaks depending on its oligomerization. At the cellular level, p1-30 induces lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells and preferentially activates CD8(low) lymphocytes and natural killer cells, which constitutively express IL-2Rbeta. A significant interferon gamma production is also detected after p1-30 stimulation. A mutant form of p1-30 (Asp20-->Lys), which is likely unable to induce vascular leak syndrome, remains capable of generating LAK cells, like the original p1-30 peptide. Altogether, our data suggest that p1-30 has therapeutic potential.
