摘要
Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the agent of an aggressive malignancy of CD4(+) T lymphocytes, called adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia, and is associated with numerous immune-mediated diseases. To establish infection, HTLV-1 must activate targeted T cells during early stages of infection. We recently demonstrated that the HTLV-1 accessory protein p12(I) is critical for persistent infection in vivo and for viral infectivity in quiescent primary lymphocytes, suggesting a role for p12(I) in lymphocyte activation. To test whether p12(I) modulates signaling pathways required for T-lymphocyte activation, we examined AP-1-, NT-kappaB-, and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)-driven reporter gene activity in p12(I)-expressing Jurkat T cells compared to vector-transfected control cells. HTLV-1 p12(I) specifically induced NFAT-mediated transcription approximately 20-fold in synergy with the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, but did not influence AP-1- or NF-kappaB-dependent gene expression. Inhibition of calcium-dependent signals by cyclosporin A, BAPTA-AM [glycine, N,N'-1,2-ethanedlylbis(oxy-2,1-phenylene)-bis-N-2-(acetyloxy)methoxy-2-oxoethyl]-[bis (acetyloxy)methyl ester], and a dominant negative mutant of NFAT2 abolished the p12(I)-mediated activation of NFAT-dependent transcription. In contrast, inhibition of phospholipase C-gamma and LAT (linker for activation of T cells) did not affect p12(I)-induced NFAT activity. Importantly, p12(I) functionally substituted for thapsigargin, which selectively depletes intracellular calcium stores. Our data are the first to demonstrate a role for HTLV-1 p12(I) in calcium-dependent activation of NFAT-mediated transcription in lymphoid cells. We propose a novel mechanism by which HTLV-1, a virus associated with lymphoproliferative disease, dysregulates common T-cell activation pathways critical for the virus to establish persistent infection.
