Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) is a member of germinal
center kinases that is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic cells
and transiently activated by T-cell receptor (TCR) triggering. We show
here that HPK1 supports apoptosis of T cells. When HPK1 was
overexpressed in murine CD4+ T cells, a substantial
increase was observed in spontaneous and TCR/CD3-mediated apoptosis as
well as in Fas ligand (FasL) expression. In
H2O2-treated EL-4 thymoma cells, which
show an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis,
overexpression of HPK1 enhanced ROS-mediated apoptosis, whereas
expression of HPK1 antisense (AS) RNA impaired apoptosis. HPK1
expression also led to a sustained increase in c-Jun N-terminal kinase
(JNK) activity, suggesting that JNK activation contributes to the
HPK1-mediated apoptosis in H2O2-treated EL-4
cells. Under the same conditions, a rapid cleavage of HPK1 was
observed, and overexpression of N- and C-terminal cleavage products in
CD4+ T cells resulted in, similar to full-length HPK1, an
increase in apoptosis. In agreement with published data, we show that
the C-terminal portion of HPK1 suppresses I B degradation, thereby inhibiting nuclear factor (NF)-B activation. These
findings suggest that by inhibiting the antiapoptotic action of NF-B
and inducing the proapoptotic activity of JNK, OHPK1 supports apoptosis
in T cells.
