Abstract

The migration of leukocytes into tissues is regulated by chemokines and other chemotactic factors that act on receptors that signal through Gi proteins. It seems likely that the colonization of tissues during dissemination of hematopoietic tumor cells is similarly regulated. In fact, dissemination of a T-cell hybridoma, a model for T lymphoma, was blocked when Gi proteins were inactivated by the S1 catalytic subunit of pertussis toxin that had been transfected into those cells. Pertussis toxin S1 blocked dissemination of MDAY-D2 murine myeloid leukemia cells to the liver and spleen, as in T-cell hybridoma cells, but it did not prevent bone marrow colonization. In contrast, overexpression of a function-defective mutant of the Gq/11 protein blocked dissemination to the bone marrow and also prevented Gq/11 dissemination to the liver and spleen. This indicates that the influx of these myeloid cells into all tissues requires the Gq/11 protein in addition to the Gi protein in the liver and spleen.
