Activation of primary lymphocytes leads to the initiation of the apoptotic program • although cells do not undergo apoptosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the key regulatory proteins controlling caspase activation during T-Iymphocyte activation. We analyzed the apoptotic pathways in highly purified T-Iymphocytes. Our data revealed that following activation of T lymphocytes with a-CD3 and a-CD28 in the presence of IL-2, initial processing of caspase-3 took place into an inactive p20 fragment and the key substrates essential in mediating the apoptotic machinery were not cleaved. This initial processing of caspase-3 was concomitantly accompanied by the up-regulation of lAP family members, namely XIAP, c-IAPl, c-IAP2 and survivin. W...
