Kurzfassung:
We reassessed the involvement of Bordetella pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive proteins in the IL-1 signaling pathway on the responses induced by IL-1 on the murine thymoma cell line EL4 6.1. We demonstrate that the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of PTX, and not its cell-anchoring B oligomer part, is responsible for the inhibition of IL-1-induced IL-2 release, since 1) the concentration of PTX ( & lt; or = 1 ng/ml) required to block the secretion is 100 to 1000 times lower than the concentration needed with the B oligomer; and 2) the mutated PT-9K/129G, devoid of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, was inactive at 100 ng/ml. We found that partial ADP-ribosylation of the Gi2/Gi3 proteins before stimulation with IL-1 was sufficient to obtain full inhibition of IL-2 release. PTX did not however inhibit the appearance on the cell surface of the high affinity IL-2 receptors or the IL-2 release induced by PMA. In addition, we show that PTX prevented the expression of the IL-2 mRNA induced by IL-1, without affecting the binding of IL-2 specific nuclear factors to the T cell distal element of the IL-2 promoter. Furthermore, PTX also inhibited IL-1-induced proliferation of non-transformed thymocytes. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that IL-1-induced IL-2 release is sensitive to PTX-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation and that IL-1 activates a diverging pathway on EL4 6.1 cells.
