Sublines of the lactogen-dependent, rat pre-T Nb2 lymphoma are useful as a model for the investigation of prolactin (PRL) signaling mechanisms, regulation of transcription of target genes, and the immunomodulatory and anti-apoptotic actions of the hormone in T lymphocytes. In the present study, coupling of various tyrosine, serine/threonine, and phospholipid kinase signaling mechanisms to PRL-stimulated Nb2-11 cell proliferation and expression of the protooncogene, pim-1, was investigated utilizing pharmacologic antagonists of a broad spectrum of tyrosine kinases (tyrphostin A25), and the specific enzymes, Jak2 (tyrphostin B42) and ZAP-70 (piceatannol), as well as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK, PD98059), protein kinase C (PKC, calphostin C), and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase, LY294002). Inhibition of each pathway attenuated PRL-stimulated Nb2-11 cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. Blockade of MAPK was the least efficacious; it inhibited proliferation maximally by 60%. Northern blot analysis of pim-1 expression in antagonist-treated cells revealed that MAPK, Jak2 and PI3-kinase appeared to signal to initiation of pim-1 transcription; its expression was attenuated by each of the antagonists. In other experiments, PRL was shown to rapidly activate a downstream effector of PI3-kinase, Akt, and this effect was also blocked by LY294002. It is concluded that PRL-stimulated Nb2 cell proliferation requires participation of each of the signaling pathways investigated. Moreover, hormone-mediated expression of pim-1 appears to reflect signaling by MAPK, Jak2, and PI3-kinase.
