Apolipoprotein E (apoE), but not apoAI or apoCIII, suppresses mitogen-activated T lymphocyte proliferation, independent of the type of activation signal. Both CD4 and CD8 T cells are inhibited. ApoE inhibits T cell proliferation, in part, by reducing the production of bioactive interleukin 2 (IL2). IL2 activity is reduced by approximately 50-65% in cultures of mitogen-stimulated T cells when apoE is present. ApoE does not significantly alter levels of IL2 mRNA or the mass of secreted IL2 protein, quantitated by enzyme immunoassay. Reduced IL2 activity was not a consequence of induction of IL2 inhibitors in response to apoE or effects of apoE on the bioassay. These results suggest that apoE antagonizes post-translational events in mitogen-activated T lymphocytes that are required for the secretion of a bioactive IL2 protein.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D010835 Phytohemagglutinins Mucoproteins isolated from the kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris); some of them are mitogenic to lymphocytes, others agglutinate all or certain types of erythrocytes or lymphocytes. They are used mainly in the study of immune mechanisms and in cell culture.

D001057 Apolipoproteins E A class of protein components which can be found in several lipoproteins including HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS; VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS; and CHYLOMICRONS. Synthesized in most organs, Apo E is important in the global transport of lipids and cholesterol throughout the body. Apo E is also a ligand for LDL receptors (RECEPTORS, LDL) that mediates the binding, internalization, and catabolism of lipoprotein particles in cells. There are several allelic isoforms (such as E2, E3, and E4). Deficiency or defects in Apo E are causes of HYPERLIPOPROTEINEMIA TYPE III.

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.
