| Abstract | Decreased expression of the TCR ζ-chain has been reported in several autoimmune, inflammatory, and malignant diseases, suggesting that ζ-chain downregulation is common at sites of chronic inflammation. Although ζ-chain is critically important in T lymphocyte activation, the mechanism of the decreased ζ-chain expression is less clear. Src-like adaptor protein (SLAP) is a master regulator of T cell activation; previous data have reported that SLAP regulates immunoreceptor signaling. We have examined the mechanism and the functional consequences of CD3 ζ-chain downregulation. TNF treatment of human T lymphocytes (15-40 ng/ml) selectively downregulates CD3 ζ-chain expression in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.05) and decreases activation-induced IL-2 expression (p < 0.01). Although blocking of the lysosomal compartment fails to restore TNF-induced CD3 ζ-chain downregulation, inhibition of the proteasome prevented the effect of TNF. Both SLAP expression and the colocalization of SLAP with CD3 ζ-chain was enhanced by TNF treatment (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively), whereas TNF-induced ζ-chain downregulation was inhibited by gene silencing of SLAP with small interfering RNA. SLAP levels of the CD4(+) T lymphocytes isolated from patients with rheumatoid arthritis were more than 2-fold higher than that of the healthy donors' (p < 0.05); moreover, TNF treatment did not alter the SLAP expression of the CD4(+) cells of anti-TNF therapy-treated patients. Our present data suggest that TNF modulates T cell activation during inflammatory processes by regulating the amount of CD3 ζ-chain expression via a SLAP-dependent mechanism. These data provide evidence for SLAP-dependent regulation of CD3 ζ-chain in the fine control of TCR signaling. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
