Human peripheral blood T lymphocytes were treated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), an activator of protein kinase C (PKC) activity, and with the calcium ionophore A23187. The resulting accumulation of specific mRNA for interleukin 2 (IL-2) and interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2R), as well as IL-2 secretion and membrane IL-2R expression were examined. At low concentrations (0.1 microM), A23187 synergized maximally with PMA to induce proliferation, to increase IL-2R mRNA levels and the expression of membrane IL-2R, and to produce a low but sufficient accumulation of IL-2 mRNA and IL-2 secretion. A high concentration of A23187 (1.0 microM) did not show any synergism for the accumulation of IL-2R mRNA, membrane IL-2R expression and inhibited the proliferation of PMA co-stimulated T cells. It did, however, induce maximum accumulation of IL-2 mRNA and IL-2 secretion.

D000001 Calcimycin An ionophorous, polyether antibiotic from Streptomyces chartreusensis. It binds and transports CALCIUM and other divalent cations across membranes and uncouples oxidative phosphorylation while inhibiting ATPase of rat liver mitochondria. The substance is used mostly as a biochemical tool to study the role of divalent cations in various biological systems. 4-Benzoxazolecarboxylic acid, 5-(methylamino)-2-((3,9,11-trimethyl-8-(1-methyl-2-oxo-2-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl)-1,7-dioxaspiro(5.5)undec-2-yl)methyl)-, (6S-(6alpha(2S*,3S*),8beta(R*),9beta,11alpha))-,A-23187,A23187,Antibiotic A23187,A 23187,A23187, Antibiotic
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
