  • Title: Phosphoinositide hydrolysis in mitogen-stimulated human peripheral-blood T lymphocytes.
    Author: King S, Whitley G, Salmon M, Johnstone A.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1989 Sep 15; 262(3):747-51. PubMed ID: 2556109.
    Abstract:
    Both phytohaemagglutinin and antibodies to the CD3 molecule induced proliferation and phosphoinositide hydrolysis in human peripheral-blood T lymphocytes, but the magnitude of the inositol phosphate response was small and the rate of accumulation slow [significant increases in Ins(1,4,5)P3 were observed only after 10 min]. Hence this response differs from the well-characterized Ins(1,4,5)P3 responses of many other systems. This slow response, its abrogation in Ca2+-depleted medium, the slow and maintained increase in Ca2+ as measured by Quin-2, and the ability of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 to stimulate Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation all suggest that the increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 occurs, at least in part, as a result of receptor-mediated Ca2+ influx in mitogen-stimulated T lymphocytes.
