Glucocorticoids (GCs) are effective immunosuppressive agents and mediate well-defined transcriptional effects via GC-receptors. There is increasing evidence that GCs also initiate rapid nongenomic signaling events. Employing activated human CD4+ lymphocytes and a peptide array containing 1176 different kinase consensus substrates, we generated a comprehensive profile of GC-induced rapid effects on signal transduction. The results show marked early differences in phosphorylation between GC-pretreated cells and control cells including impaired phosphorylation of Lck/Fyn-consensus substrates. Immunoprecipitation and in vitro kinase assays reveal rapid GC-induced down modulation of Lck and Fyn kinases employing SAM68 as a substrate. Additionally, immunoprecipitation experiments revealed reduced Lck-CD4 and Fyn-CD3 associations suggesting GC inhibited recruitment of these kinases to the T cell receptor complex. Western blot analysis revealed reduced phosphorylation of a series of downstream signaling intermediates following GC-treatment, including PKB, PKC and MAPKs. Experiments with GC-receptor negative Jurkat cells and a pharmacological GC-receptor ligand (RU486) indicated that rapid inhibition of Lck and Fyn kinases is GC-receptor dependent. Parallel experiments conducted following the application of GCs in healthy individuals confirmed suppression of Lck/ Fyn in T cells within 1 hr in vivo. These results identify the inhibition of Lck and Fyn kinases as rapid targets of GCs, mediated via a GC-receptor dependent pathway.
