Entry and Trafficking of Granzyme B in Target Cells During Granzyme B-Perforin-Mediated Apoptosis

Michael J. Pinkoski, Marita Hobman, Jeffrey A. Heibein, Kevin Tomaselli, Feng Li, Prem Seth, Christopher J. Froelich, and R. Chris Bleackley

From the Department of Biochemistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; IDUN Pharmaceuticals, La Jolla, CA; Medicine Branch, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD; the Department of Medicine, Evanston Hospital, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL.

In the widely accepted model of granule-mediated killing by cytotoxic lymphocytes, granzyme B entry into the target cell is facilitated by the pore forming molecule, perforin. Using indirect immunofluorescence and also direct visualization of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated granzyme B, we demonstrate internalization in the absence of perforin. Induction of the lytic pathway, however, required a second signal that was provided by perforin or adenovirus (Ad2). The combination of agents also resulted in a dramatic relocalization of the granzyme. Microinjection of granzyme B directly into the cytoplasm of target cells resulted in apoptosis without the necessity of a second stimulus. This suggested that the key event is the presence of granzyme B in the cytoplasm, and that when the enzyme is internalized by a target cell, it trafficks to an intracellular compartment and accumulates until release is stimulated by the addition of perforin. We found that the proteinase passed through rab5-positive vesicles and then accumulated within a novel compartment. On the basis of these results, we propose a new model for granzyme-perforin-induced target cell lysis in which granzyme B is subjected to trafficking events in the target cell that control and contribute to cell death.
