Occupancy of the B cell glycoprotein, CD72 results in syk-independent activation of phospholipase-C + and calcium mobilization. The cytoplasmic tail of CD72 does not contain an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif to directly transduce signals into the B lymphocyte. Hence, we investigated

T cell activation is supposed to require two signals via the TCR and a co-stimulatory molecule. However, the signaling cascade of co-stimulatory molecules has remained elusive. Here we provide evidence that CD44, which is constitutively associated with Ick and fyn, supports proliferation as well as
In the absence of survival-inducing cytokines activated T cells and neutrophils enter apoptosis spontaneously. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3 K) activation and signaling through PKB/AKT have been widely linked to the inhibition of apoptosis by cytokines. Here we have investigated the role of PKB
We examined effects of two insulinlike growth factors, insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), against apoptosis, excitotoxicity, and free radical neurotoxicity in cortical cell cultures. Like IGF-I, insulin attenuated serum deprivation-induced neuronal apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner
In a previous study, we showed that geranylgeraniol (GGO) is a potent inducer of apoptosis in human leukemia cells, including HL60 promyelocytic leukemia cells. The present study describes the effects of activators of protein kinase C (PKC) on GGO-induced apoptosis in various lines of leukemia cells
