We examined the role of MHC class II molecules in transducing signals to activated human T cells. Cross-linking of MHC class II molecules synergized with submitogenic amounts of anti-CD3 mAb in causing proliferation and secretion of the cytokines IL-2, IL-3, IFN-gamma, and TNF-alpha by MHC class II-alloreactive T cell lines. Signaling via MHC class II molecules in T cells resulted in activation of tyrosine kinases, in generation of inositol phosphates, and in Ca2+ mobilization that was abrogated by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A. Thus, like signaling via TCR/CD3, signaling via MHC class II molecules involved tyrosine kinase-dependent activation of phospholipase C, resulting in phosphoinositol turnover and Ca2+ flux. However the signaling pathways coupled to MHC class II molecules and to TCR/CD3 differed, because engagement of the transmembrane phosphatase CD45 inhibited Ca2+ fluxes triggered via TCR/CD3 but not Ca2+ fluxes triggered via MHC class II molecules.
