Abstract: | To study the expression and kinase activity of phosphatidylinositol 3′ -kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase B (PKB or Akt) during
activation and apoptosis of human Jurkat T lymphocytes (TJK) with stable expression of CD8ε chimera fused human CD8α extracellular
and transmembrane domains to intracellular domain of mouse CD3ε, Western blot, kinase activities detection and immunoprecipitation
were carried out. It was shown that Jurkat cells with expression of wild type chimera CD8ε died by apoptosis after continuous
stimulation of anti-CD8 monoclonal antibody. The expressions of PI3K and Akt, and the kinase activity of Akt remarkably increased
during the process. However, this phenomenon did not occur in the Jurkat cells (T1JK) with expression of the mutant of CD8ε
chimera (Y170F), suggesting that PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is involved in activation and apoptosis of T lymphocyte mediated
by CD3ε. |
