Ryanodine receptors (RyR) are involved in regulating intracellular Ca++ mobilization in T lymphocytes. However, the importance of RyR signaling during T cell activation has not yet been determined. In this study, we have used the RyR-selective antagonists, ruthenium red and dantrolene, to determine the effect of RyR blockade on T cell receptor-mediated activation events and cytokine-dependent T cell proliferation. Both ruthenium red and dantrolene inhibited DNA synthesis and cell division, as well as the synthesis of interleukin (IL)-2 by T lymphocytes responding to mitogenic anti-CD3 antibody. Blockade of RyR at initiation of culture or as late as 24 h after T cell receptor stimulation inhibited T cell proliferation, suggesting a requirement for sustained RyR signaling during cell cycle progression. Although flow cytometry revealed that RyR blockade had little effect on activation-induced expression of the alpha chain (CD25) of the high affinity IL-2 receptor, the inhibitory effect of RyR antagonists could not be reversed by the addition of exogenous IL-2 at initiation of culture. In addition, both ruthenium red and dantrolene had a strong inhibitory effect on IL-2-dependent proliferation of CTLL-2 T cells. These data indicate that RyR are involved in regulating IL-2 receptor signaling that drives T cell progression through the cell cycle. We conclude that RyR-associated Ca++ signaling regulates T cell proliferation by promoting both IL-2 synthesis and IL-2-dependent cell cycle progression. (C) 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
