| Research Abstract |
We previously found that suppressor macrophages (S-Mφs) induced by Mycobacterium avium complex infection affect tyrosine (Tyr) dephosphorylation of several cytoplasmic proteins including aldose reductase (AR) of target T cells with the expression of immunosuppressive activity of S-Mφs. In this study, we examined the profiles of S-Mφ-mediated dephosphorylation of AR in the target T cells and following findings were obtained. (1) Anti-phosphotyrosine antibody bound to AR protein in mouse T cell lysates and recombinant human AR protein (rAR) derived from baculovirus expression system. (2) Since Tyr-40 is located at consensus sequences ([R,K]-x(3)-[D,E]-x(2)-Y) for tyrosine kinase phosphorylation site, Tyr-40 is a candidate for phosphorylation site in mouse AR protein. (3) Anti-phosphoserine antibody also bound to rAR. (4) AR protein was constitutively expressed in resting T cells. In separate experiments, co-cultivation of target T cells with S-Mφs did not cause marked changes in profiles of the expression levels of AR protein in target T cells. (5) Anti-CD3/anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody (mAb)-induced T cell mitogenesis were strongly suppressed by AR inhibitor. In addition, when target T cells were co-cultivated with S-Mφs, anti-CD3/anti-CD28 mAb-induced activation of MAP kinases (Erk-1,-2) in target T cells were not blocked. These findings suggest that AR is not essential for TCR/Ras/Erk signaling pathway in anti-CD3/anti-CD28 mAb-stimulated T cells, whileas AR may be involved in CD28/Akt/NF〓B-mediated signaling pathway in target T cells. Further studies are currently underway to identify protein tyrosine phosphatases which mediate the dephosphorylation of AR in target T cells.
