Abstract

Ag recognition triggered at the interface between a T cell and an APC is conditioned by cell-cell adhesion and cytoskeletal remodeling. The role played in these phenomena by Lck and Itk, two protein tyrosine kinases essential for T cell signaling, was examined. Early T cell responses (membrane ruffling, Ca(2+) response, APC-T cell adhesion) were monitored in T cells overexpressing kinase-defective (KD) Lck and Itk mutants by combining fluorescence imaging and electron microscopy. Neither Lck nor Itk appears to be involved in the Ag-independent formation of a small and labile contact interface between T cells and APCS: By contrast, the Ag-induced Ca(2+) response in a cell population is similarly blunted in both KD transfectants. However, the underlying mechanisms are strikingly different for the two kinases. The major effect of Lck-KD is to reduce the probability of giving rise to quasi-normal Ca(2+) responses, whereas overexpression of Itk-KD results in a tuning down of all single-cell Ca(2+) responses. In addition, Lck, but not Itk, is required for the formation of a stable T/APC conjugate and for T cell polarization after Ag stimulation. Overall, our results lead to a clear distinction between Lck and ITK: Lck plays an igniti...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
