摘要

A major question in end-stage T cell devel- opment is how T cell receptor(TCR) ligation on immature CD4~+CD8~+ double positive thymocytes is translated into either survival (positive selection) or apoptotic (negative selection) signals. Because different types of antigen- presenting cells (APCs) induce positive or negative selection in the thymus and express different costimulatory molecules, involvement of such costimulatory molecules in determining cell fate of DP thymocytes is considered here. If TCR- generated signals are modulated by APCs, this should be reflected in the activation of distinct biochemical pathways. We here demonstrate that costimulatory signals involved in negative selection also are required for induction of protein expression of Nur77 and its family members. These transcrip- tion factors are critically involved in negative but not positive selection. In contrast, the signals that costimulate negative selection are not required for induction of several molecular events associated with positive selection. These include acti- vation of the immediate early gene Egr-1, the mitogen- activated protein kinase ERK2, and surface expression of the CD69 marker. Thus, costimulation for negative selection selectively provides signals for activation of apoptotic medi- ators. These data provide molecular insights into how TCR- engagement by ligands on different thymic APCs can deter- mine cell fate.
