A LAT Mutation That Inhibits T Cell Development Yet Induces Lymphoproliferation

Abstract: Mice homozygous for a single tyrosine mutation in LAT (linker for activation of T cells) exhibited an early block in T cell maturation but later developed a polyclonal lymphoproliferative disorder and signs of autoimmune disease. T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-induced activation of phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1) and of nuclear factor of activated T cells, calcium influx, interleukin-2 production, and cell death were reduced or abrogated in T cells from LAT mutant mice. In contrast, TCR-induced Erk activati… Show more

“…Importantly, the pathology developed in these two mouse models encompasses hypergammaglobulinemia E and G1, massive lymphocytic infiltration of the lungs, and tissue eosinophilia and is thus reminiscent of allergic inflammation. Crosslinking of the TCR-CD3 complexes expressed at the surface of CD4 ϩ T cells from LatY136F mice fails to induce detectable PLC-␥1 activation and Ca 2ϩ mobilization (5). A similar signaling defect also exists in the ␥␦ T cells that expand in Lat3YF mice (6).…”

“…The mutation of LAT tyrosine 136 in LatY136F mice inhibits PLC-␥1 binding and activation (4,5), which is illustrated in Fig. 2A where cross-linking of the TCR present on the surface of CD4 ϩ T cells isolated from LatY136F mice failed to stimulate Ca 2ϩ influx.…”

“…It has been shown both in vitro (16) and in vivo (17,18) that tyrosine phosphorylation of LAT at position 136 in the mouse (132 in human, which is the numbering system used in Materials and Methods and Figs. 3 and 8, because the Abs were made against the human phosphopeptides) is critical for the activation of PLC␥1.…”

“…As a consequence of this exaggerated TH2 polarization, serum IgG1 concentrations were 5000-fold higher than in wild-type mice, serum IgE concentrations were in the range of several mg/ml, instead of a few µg/ml, and peripheral tissues were massively infiltrated with eosinophils. The differentiation of TCRγδ T cells was unaffected Sommers et al, 2002). Likewise, knock-in mice bearing point mutations of the adapter-binding three distal tyrosines of LAT (Y175F, Y195F and Y235F) displayed a complete block in the differentiation of TCRαβ T cells and an abnormal differentiation of TCRγδ T cells, also resulting in an exaggerated TH2 polarization and massive proliferation.…”
