Induction of T Helper Type 2 Immunity by a Point Mutation in the LAT Adaptor

Abstract: The transmembrane protein LAT (linker for activation of T cells) couples the T cell receptor (TCR) to downstream signaling effectors. Mice homozygous for a mutation of a single LAT tyrosine residue showed impeded T cell development. However, later they accumulated polyclonal helper T (TH) cells that chronically produced type 2 cytokines in large amounts. This exaggerated TH2 differentiation caused tissue eosinophilia and massive maturation of plasma cells secreting to immunoglobulins of the E and G1 isotypes. … Show more

“…For specific inhibition, the cells were preincubated for 3 min with dilutions of MK571 ranging from 10 Ϫ5 to 10 Ϫ8 M, and the same concentration of MK571 was added to the corresponding lower chambers. In all experiments, all media contained equal concentrations of 0.1% ethanol and 0.1% DMSO to exclude artifacts resulting from the organic solvent of LTD 4 and MK571, respectively. After incubation for 2 h at 37°C, the upper chamber was removed, and the cells in the lower chamber resuspended and transferred to tubes.…”

“…A knockin mutation, called LatY136F, where tyrosine 136 of LAT was replaced by a phenylalanine, caused a fatal lymphoproliferative disorder involving polyclonal CD4 ϩ T cells that chronically produced type 2 cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 (4,5). A compound knockin mutation, called Lat3YF, where tyrosines 175, 195 and 235 were replaced by phenylalanine, resulted in the selective development and expansion of ␥␦ T cells, which spontaneously deployed a Th2-like effector program (6).…”

“…LAT knock-in mice in which either the PLC-γ-binding tyrosine or the adapter-binding three distal tyrosines were mutated exhibited a polyclonal lymphoproliferation of CD4 + /TCRαβ or CD4 + /TCRγδ T cells, respectively, that secreted exaggerated levels of TH2 cytokines. Consequently, serum IgG1 and IgE were markedly increased, and peripheral tissues were infiltrated with eosinophils [31,32]. LAT mutations therefore unraveled that, besides positive signals, LAT supports negative signals that normally control terminal T cell differentiation and proliferation.…”

“…The Lat Inv targeting vector was cloned using a genomic fragment, isolated from 129/Ola phage library, containing a point mutation resulting in the substitution of the tyrosine 136 codon by a phenylalanine codon in exon 7 [31]. The 5 0 loxP511 site was inserted in a targeting vector by PCR mediated two-step mutagenesis using 490 bp EcoNI fragment as template.…”
