The mechanism by which purinergic agonists modulate murine T-lymphocyte activation and proliferation was investigated. Adenosine and other compounds such as ATP and 2-choloradenosine (CIAdo) were found to block T-cell mitogenesis induced by concanavalin A (Con A) in a dose-dependent fashion. The nonmetabolizable adenosine analog CIAdo was the most potent agent capable of inhibiting T-cell mitogenesis. Extracellular addition of the permeable cAMP analog dibutyrl AMP(dbcAMP) also led to a dose-dependent blockade of T-cell mitogenesis, although with less efficiency when compared to CIAdo. Addition of IL-2-enriched fluids failed to reverse blockade of T-cell mitogenesis by CIAdo or dbcAMP. CIAdo blocked T-cell inlargement induced after 20 hr of culture with Con A. We analyzed the effect of micromolar concentrations of CIAdo on interleukin-2 (IL-2) production, expression of IL-2 receptors (7D4 and 3C7 surface antigens), and induction of IL-2 responsiveness after in vitro cultivation with Con A. CIAdo inhibited both IL-2 secretion and induction of IL-2 responsiveness up to control levels in the same dose range it inhibited T-cell mitogenesis. However, cell surface expression of IL-2 receptors was not affected. Short incubations of resting splenic T cells with CIAdo led to a dose-dependent accumulation of cyclic AMP in responding cells. This effect was markedly reduced by the purinergic antagonist 3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine (IBMX) but was not prevented by the adenosine uptake blocker dipyridamole. CIAdo elicited cAMP accumulation in the same dose range it inhibited T-cell activation events. Extracellular administration of dbcAMP to splenic T cells stimulated by Con A mimicked the effects of CIAdo on T-cell activation parameters, as revealed by a dose-dependent blockade of both IL-2 secretion and IL-2 responsiveness induction, without affecting IL-2 receptor expression. Short incubations of Con A-activated T-cell blasts with CIAdo also led to a dose-dependent accumulation of cAMP. We then analyzed the effect of purines and dbcAMP on IL-2 mediated activated T-cell growth. Purines caused a dose-dependent inhibition of IL-2 mediated T cell proliferation and CIAdo was the most potent purinergic agonist tested. The effect of CIAdo on Con A-induced T blasts was shifted to the right, if compared to earlier T-cell activation steps. Extracellular addition of dbcAMP mimicked the effect of CIAdo on IL-2 dependent T-cell proliferation, with a marked shift to the right in its inhibitory potency. Concomitant addition of IBMX to activated T-cell cultures competitively antagonized the inhibitory effect of CIAdo on IL-2-dependent proliferation. On the other hand, the IL-2-dependent long-term T-cell line CTL-L was markedly resistant to the inhibitory effect of CIAdo on IL-2-dependent proliferation, although this cell line was still blocked by dbcAMP. Loss of sensitivity to CIAdo in CTL-L cells correlated with loss of the ability of CIAdo to elicit cAMP accumulation. Together, these data indicate that the selective effects of purinergic agonists on T-cell activation and proliferation parameters are carried out through intracellular cAMP as a second messenger.
