- Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is the most potent activator of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores known today. Although recent reports have suggested an important function of NAADP in human T lymphocytes, direct evidence for receptor-induced formation of NAADP is yet missing in these cells. Thus, we developed a highly sensitive and specific enzyme assay capable of quantifying low fmol amounts of NAADP. In unstimulated T cells, the NAADP concentration amounted to 4.4 +/- 1.6 nm (0.055 +/- 0.028 pmol/mg of protein). Stimulation of the cells via the T cell receptor/CD3 complex resulted in biphasic elevation kinetics of cellular NAADP levels and was characterized by a bell-shaped concentration-response curve for NAADP. In contrast, the NAADP concentration was elevated neither upon activation of the ADP-ribose/TRPM2 channel Ca2+ signaling system nor by an increase of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration upon thapsigargin stimulation. T cell receptor/CD3 complex-mediated NAADP formation was dependent on the activity of tyrosine kinases because genistein completely blocked NAADP elevation. Thus, we propose a regulated formation of NAADP upon specific stimulation of the T cell receptor/CD3 complex, suggesting a function of NAADP as a Ca2+-mobilizing second messenger during T cell activation.
