This study shows that human postthymic T cells express CD10 when
undergoing apoptosis, irrespective of the signal responsible for
initiating the apoptotic process. Cells from continuous T-cell lines
did not normally express CD10, but became CD10+ when
induced into apoptosis by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
and exposure to CD95 monoclonal antibody, etoposide, or staurosporin.
Inhibitors of caspases blocked apoptosis and CD10 expression. Both
CD4+ and CD8+ T cells purified from normal
peripheral blood expressed CD10 on apoptotic induction. CD10 was newly
synthesized by the apoptosing cells because its expression was
inhibited by exposure to cycloheximide and CD10 mRNA became detectable
by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in T cells cultured
under conditions favoring apoptosis. To show CD10 on T cells apoptosing
in vivo, lymph node and peripheral blood T cells from
HIV+ subjects were used. These suspensions were composed
of a substantial, although variable, proportion of apoptosing T cells
that consistently expressed CD10. In contrast, CD10+ as
well as spontaneously apoptosing T cells were virtually absent in
peripheral blood from normal individuals. Collectively, these observations indicate that CD10 may represent a reliable marker for
identifying and isolating apoptosing T cells in vitro and ex vivo and
possibly suggest novel functions for surface CD10 in the apoptotic
process of lymphoid cells.
