Abstract

Almost all physiological T cell responses require costimulation—engagement of the clonotypic TCR with MHC/Ag and CD28 by its ligands CD80/86. Whether CD28 provides signals that are qualitatively unique or quantitatively amplify TCR signaling is poorly understood. In this study, we use superagonistic CD28 Abs, which induce T cell proliferation without TCR coligation, to determine how CD28 contributes to mitogenic responses. We show that mitogenic CD28 signals require but do not activate the proximal TCR components TCRζ and Zap-70 kinase. In cell lines lacking proximal TCR signaling, an early defect in the CD28 pathway is in phosphorylation of the adaptor molecule SLP-76, which we show is essential for recruitment of the exchange factor Vav leading to Ca2+ flux and IL-2 production. Point mutations in CD28 that result in diminished Vav phosphorylation also result in defective Ca2+ flux, IL-2 production, and Tec-kinase phosphorylation. Using Vav1-deficient mice, we further demonstrate the importance of Vav1 for efficient proliferation, IL-2 production, and Ca2+ flux. Our results indicate that CD28 signals feed into the TCR signaling pathway at the level of the SLP-76 signalosome.

  • Expression of a functional TCR and activation of Src-kinases are required for ANC28.1-mediated calcium flux, whereas activation of PI3K appears dispensable.

    “Hence, similar to the situation in rat T cells [11], [12] expression of a functional TCR and the activation of Src-kinases are required for ANC28.1-mediated calcium flux, whereas activation of PI3K appears to be dispensable.”

    From Signaling Signatures and Functional Properties of Anti-Human CD28 Superagonistic Antibodies (2008) · cites this paper as [12]

    The Results (p. 4) support a requirement for an intact TCR/CD3 complex in superagonistic CD28 signaling, and the Results (p. 6) link that signaling to calcium flux. The Discussion (p. 8) suggests PI3K/PKB is not of major importance, but does not establish that PI3K activation is dispensable for calcium flux. Our copy does not show that Src-kinase activation is required or identify ANC28.1 as the antibody tested. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • The latter assumption was based on the observation that anti-rat CD28 superagonists do not induce phosphorylation of AKT and that mutation of the PI3K binding site within the cytoplasmic domain of CD28 did not ablate CD28SA-mediated IL-2 production.

  • A recent report suggested that IL-2 production upon CD28SA-stimulation of rat T cells is primarily mediated via the SLP76/Vav-module and does not require activation of PI3K.

    “A recent report suggested that IL-2 production upon CD28SA-stimulation of rat T cells is primarily mediated via the SLP76/Vav-module and does not require activation of PI3K [12].”

    From Signaling Signatures and Functional Properties of Anti-Human CD28 Superagonistic Antibodies (2008) · cites this paper as [12]

    The Discussion (p. 8) links the SLP-76–Vav–Itk signalosome to IL-2 production, but the direct SLP-76 and Vav evidence comes from cell lines and transgenic mice, not primary rat T cells. In primary rat T cells, the Results (p. 5) find weak PKB phosphorylation and suggest the PI3K/PKB pathway is not a major contributor; the paper does not establish that PI3K activation is unnecessary.

  • ANC28.1 stimulation did not result in detectable tyrosine phosphorylation of ZAP70 in human T cells.

    “In agreement with data obtained in rat T cells [12], ANC28.1 stimulation did not result in a detectable tyrosine phosphorylation of the protein tyrosine kinase ZAP70 (Fig. 1B, middle panel) although ZAP70 is believed to be primarily responsible for LAT phosphorylation upon TCR-stimulation.”

    From Signaling Signatures and Functional Properties of Anti-Human CD28 Superagonistic Antibodies (2008) · cites this paper as [12]

    The Results (p. 4) report that CD28-superagonist stimulation did not induce Zap-70 phosphorylation in human Jurkat T cells. The paper does not identify the antibody as ANC28.1 in the passages examined, so it supports the finding but not the claim about that specific antibody. (LLM, conf=0.82)

  • ANC28.1-induced Ca++ signal required expression of a functional TCR.

    “(i) we show that (similar to rat T cells [12]) the Ca++-signal produced by ANC28.1 required expression of a functional TCR (Fig. 2B);”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
