Differential coupling of CC chemokine receptors to multiple heterotrimeric G proteins in human interleukin-2-activated natural killer cells

Using two different approaches, we have investigated the types of G proteins coupled to CC chemokine receptors. First, permeabilization of interleukin-2-activated natural killer (IANK) cells with streptolysin-O and introduction of anti-G protein antibodies inside these cells resulted in the following. (1) Anti-G(s), anti-G(o), and anti-G(z) inhibited the migration of IANK cells in response to macrophage- inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), or regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES). (2) Anti-Gi inhibited their migration in response to MCP-1 or RANTES but not in response to MIP-1 alpha. Second, incubation of IANK cell membranes with anti-G protein antibodies before incubating with (gamma-35S) GTP or (gamma-32P) GTP, resulted in the following. (1) Anti-G(s), anti-G(o), or anti-G(z) inhibited GTP binding and GTPase activity in the presence of MIP-1 alpha, or RANTES. (2) Anti- G(i) inhibited GTP binding and GTPase activity in the presence of MCP-1 or RANTES but not in the presence of MIP-1 alpha. The inhibitory effect of anti-G protein antibodies was reversed upon incubating these antibodies with their respective synthetic peptides before addition to IANK cell membranes. These results suggest that MCP-1 and RANTES receptors are promiscuously coupled to multiple G proteins in IANK cell membranes and that this coupling is different from MIP-1 alpha receptors, which seem to be coupled to G(s), G(o), and G(z) but not to G(i).</jats:p

C-C chemokines induce the chemotaxis of NK and IL-2-activated NK cells. Role for G proteins.

Abstract The C-C chemokines MIP-1 alpha, MCP-1, and RANTES, but not MIP-1 beta, induce the chemotaxis of NK and IL-2-activated NK (IANK) cells, as determined in microchemotaxis assay. Only RANTES and MCP-1, but not MIP-1 alpha were able to induce the chemokinesis of NK cells. In contrast, none of the C-C chemokines tested was able to induce the chemokinesis of IANK cells. IANK cell chemotaxis in response to MCP-1 or RANTES but not MIP-1 alpha, was inhibited by pertussis toxin (PT). In contrast, cholera toxin (CT) inhibited the ability of all three chemokines to induce the chemotaxis of IANK cells. IANK cells intoxicated with PT lost their ability to migrate in response to RANTES and MCP-1 but not MIP-1 alpha, whereas those intoxicated with CT lost their ability to migrate in response to the three C-C chemokines tested. These results suggest that guanine nucleotide binding (G) proteins are coupled to C-C chemokine receptors in IANK cells. Subsequently, we observed that MIP-1 alpha, MCP-1, and RANTES, but not MIP-1 beta, enhance the binding of guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate), and increase the hydrolysis of [32P]GTP in IANK cell membranes. Further analysis showed that MIP-1 alpha, RANTES, or MCP-1 did not enhance GTP binding in membranes prepared from IANK cells intoxicated with CT, whereas only RANTES and MCP-1 but not MIP-1 alpha lost their ability to enhance GTP binding to IANK cell membranes prepared from PT-intoxicated cells. The differential inhibitory activity of CT and PT suggests that C-C chemokine receptors are coupled to different G proteins in IANK cells.</jats:p

Recruitment of Pleckstrin and Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase γ into the Cell Membranes, and Their Association with Gβγ After Activation of NK Cells with Chemokines

Abstract The role of phosphoinositide 3 kinases (PI 3-K) in chemokine-induced NK cell chemotaxis was investigated. Pretreatment of NK cells with wortmannin inhibits the in vitro chemotaxis of NK cells induced by lymphotactin, monocyte-chemoattractant protein-1, RANTES, IFN-inducible protein-10, or stromal-derived factor-1α. Introduction of inhibitory Abs to PI 3-Kγ but not to PI 3-Kα into streptolysin O-permeabilized NK cells also inhibits chemokine-induced NK cell chemotaxis. Biochemical analysis showed that within 2–3 min of activating NK cells, pleckstrin is recruited into NK cell membranes, whereas PI 3-Kγ associates with these membranes 5 min after stimulation with RANTES. Recruited PI 3-Kγ generates phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 trisphosphate, an activity that is inhibited upon pretreatment of NK cells with wortmannin. Further analysis showed that a ternary complex containing the βγ dimer of G protein, pleckstrin, and PI 3-Kγ is formed in NK cell membranes after activation with RANTES. The recruitment of pleckstrin and PI 3-Kγ into NK cell membranes is only partially inhibited by pertussis toxin, suggesting that the majority of these molecules form a complex with pertussis toxin-insensitive G proteins. Our results may have application for the migration of NK cells toward the sites of inflammation.</jats:p

Priming effects of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor are coupled to cholera toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide binding protein in human T lymphocytes

In addition to the mobilization of neutrophils and monocytes, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) also mobilizes lymphocytes into peripheral blood. We examined the ability of GM-CSF to induce the proliferation of purified human T cells (CD3+ CD4+ CD56- CD16- B1- MO2-) in two major aspects: (1) the mechanisms of GM- CSF interaction with interleukin-2 (IL-2) causing T-cell proliferation, and (2) the intracellular signals transmitted by GM-CSF in T lymphocytes. We observed that concentrations of GM-CSF between 0.01 ng/mL and 10 ng/mL had a synergistic effect with concentrations of IL-2 between 1 U/mL and 10 U/mL in stimulating T-cell proliferation. This effect of GM-CSF was maximal when it was added at the start of the culture. In situ hybridization showed the presence of mRNA for GM-CSF receptors in T cells. Further analysis showed that GM-CSF induced the expression of IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) on the surface of T lymphocytes. These events coincide with the ability of GM-CSF to increase the intracellular levels of both cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic 3′,5′-guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in T cells, to increase the binding of (gamma-35S) GTP to T-cell membranes, and to enhance GTPase activity as determined by increased hydrolysis of 32P- GTP. IL-2 also induced IL-2R expression, cyclic nucleotide secretion, and G-protein activation. However, the presence of IL-2 reduced GM-CSF induction of these activities. Addition of antibodies to the alpha and beta subunits of IL-2R permitted the activation of G protein by GM-CSF even when IL-2 was present. Furthermore, GTP binding and GTPase activity induced by GM-CSF or IL-2 were inhibited by the addition of cholera toxin (CT), but not pertussis toxin (PT). Cumulatively, these results suggest that in T lymphocytes, receptors for GM-CSF or IL-2 may be coupled to the same CT-sensitive G protein, although other possibilities may exist. The role that G proteins play in mediating the intracellular signaling pathways induced by GM-CSF or IL-2 in human T cells is supported by adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation of a 44-kD or a 39-kD G protein in T-cell membranes by CT and PT, respectively.</jats:p

Preferential involvement of Go and Gz proteins in mediating rat natural killer cell lysis of allogeneic and tumor target cells.

Abstract IL-2-activated NK cells from PVG rats potently lyse target cells expressing allo-MHC class I determinants. Here, we investigated the role that G proteins play in mediating this activity. Pretreatment of NK cells with pertussis toxin (PT) or cholera toxin (CT) inhibited NK cell killing of tumor (YAC-1 or P815), and allogeneic target cells. ADP ribosylation assay revealed that PT ADP ribosylates a 39-kDa G protein, whereas CT ADP ribosylates a 45 to 47-kDa G protein in PVG NK cell membranes. Membranes prepared from intoxicated NK cells with either PT or CT lost their ability to incorporate [32P]NAD. These membranes possess Gi, Go, Gs, and Gz as demonstrated by immunoblot analysis. However, Gq was not clearly detected by this method. IL-2-activated NK cells were permeabilized with streptolysin O. Permeabilized cells incorporated Abs to Gi, Go, Gz, Gs, and Gq as determined by flow cytometric analysis. When Abs to Go or Gz, but not to Gi, Gs, or Gq, were incorporated inside permeabilized NK cells, a significant reduction in the lysis of tumor or allo-MHC target cells was observed, suggesting that Go and Gz play important roles in transducing the signals necessary to lyse target cells. Our results show for the first time a role for G proteins in mediating NK cell killing of allo-MHC-encoded target cells, and provide evidence for Gz protein involvement in NK cell recognition of target cells. The effect of Gz is novel and has not been previously described in any other system or cell type.</jats:p
