Objective. To investigate the inhibitory effects of dasatinib on proliferation, function, and signaling events on CD8(+)T cells.Materials and Methods. Carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester and 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine were used to detect proliferation and cell cycle of CD8(+)T cells treated with dasatinib, respectively. Frequency and function of viral and leukemia-antigen-specific CD8(+)T cells from healthy donors were measured by tetramer staining and ELISPOT assay. Western blotting analysis was performed to detect T-cell receptor (TCR), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) and Src signaling events in T cells treated with dasatinib or imatinib.Results. Dasatinib inhibited proliferation of CD8(+)T cells in a dose-dependent manner, which was associated with lower secretion of interferon-gamma and granzyme B, as well as with arrest of CD8(+)T cells in the G(0)/G(1) phase of cell cycle. Inhibition of CD8(+)T cells was proven for blood samples from a patient under dasatinib medication when compared with their T-cell status without dasatinib. Western blotting confirmed that these effects were mediated through downregulation of the phosphorylation level of molecules from the TCR and the NF-kappa B signaling transduction cascade. Dasatinib proved to be more potent than imatinib on Src and TCR signaling events in Jurkat T cells.Conclusion. Our study demonstrated that dasatinib impaired proliferation and function of CD8'T cells via TCR and NF-kappa B signaling events without inducing apoptosis. Therefore, dasatinib might alter the graft-vs-leukemia effect and the graft-vs-host disease after allogeneic stem cell transplantation sustained by CD8'T cells. Dasatinib might also be used as a novel immunosuppressant agent. (C) 2008 ISEH - Society for Hematology and Stem Cells. Published by Elsevier Inc.
