| Popis: | ECH408-1 is a murine B cell lymphoma expressing idiotypically and allotypically distinguishable transfected and endogenous IgD. Previously, we demonstrated that this cell line was not growth inhibited by antibodies directed at membrane IgD, but could be inhibited by antibodies which crosslink membrane IgM. Herein, we demonstrate that both anti-μ and anti-δ will cause calcium mobilization in this transfected cell line; this is followed by a period during which antibodies against the alternative isotype are unable to induce significant increases in intracellular calcium concentrations. This phenomenon, called “desensitization,” is short-lived, lasting 20 min. We further demonstrate that acute desensitization of these cells by anti-δ has no effect on immediate growth inhibition which is elicited by anti-μ. These data confirm our earlier proposal that the rapid, initial calcium response seen in these lymphomas is not required for the negative signal for growth. Moreover, we also demonstrate that pretreatment of these lymphoma cells with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) also renders these lymphoma cells temporarily incapable of manifesting a significant calcium signal. Nonetheless, PMA-pretreated B lymphoma cells are not altered in their subsequent sensitivity to anti-μ growth inhibition, nor are they affected in their resistance to inhibition by anti-δ. Our data confirm the proposal that neither the calcium signal nor protein kinase-C activation is involved in the modulation of B lymphoma growth. |
