The molecular basis for the modulatory properties of CD99 is not well understood. Treatment
of human Jurkat T lymphocytes with anti-CD99 antibody led to activation of three mitogen-
activated protein kinase (MAPK) members, ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPK, along with homotypic
aggregation. While phosphorylation of ERK and JNK was inhibited by the pretreatment of a
PKC inhibitor, bisindolylmaleimide I, activation of p38 MAPK was upregulated by the same

The molecular basis for the modulatory properties of CD99 is not well understood. Treatment of human Jurkat T lymphocytes with anti-CD99 antibody led to activation of three mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) members, ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPK, along with homotypic aggregation. While phosphorylation of ERK and JNK was inhibited by the pretreatment of a PKC inhibitor, bisindolylmaleimide I, activation of p38 MAPK was upregulated by the same pretreatment. The signaling pathways to MAPKs by CD99 engagement were independent of PI-3 kinase, distinguishing from those by CD3 engagement. Among MAPKs, ERK pathway was essential for homotypic aggregation together with intracytoplasmic Ca2+.
