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.
