WIP is critical for T cell responsiveness to IL-2.

چکیده
The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) interacting protein (WIP) stabilizes the WAS protein (WASP), the product of the gene mutated in WAS. WIP-deficient T cells have low WASP levels, limiting the usefulness of WIP KO mice in defining the role of WIP in T cell function. To define this role, we compared WIP/WASP double KO (DKO) mice to WASP KO mice on DO11.10 background. T cell development was normal in both strains, but peripheral T cell numbers were significantly decreased in DKO mice. WASP KO T cells proliferated and secreted IL-2 normally in response to OVA peptide (OVAp). In contrast, T cells from DKO mice proliferated poorly in response to OVAp in vitro, and cutaneous hapten hypersensitivity was deficient in these mice. DKO T cells up-regulated CD25 expression and secreted normal amounts of IL-2 after antigen stimulation, but had defective response to IL-2, evidenced by failure to further up-regulate CD25 expression, phosphorylate STAT5, and induce expression of STAT5-dependent genes. DKO, but not WASP KO, T cells had a disrupted subcortical actin cytoskeleton and impaired actin polymerization after T cell antigen receptor (TCR) ligation. These results indicate that WIP is essential for IL-2 signaling and responsiveness in T cells, possibly because of its critical role in TCR-triggered actin cytoskeletal reorganization.

WIP deficiency reveals a differential role for WIP and the actin cytoskeleton in T and B cell activation.
WIP stabilizes actin filaments and is important for filopodium formation. To define the role of WIP in immunity, we generated WIP-deficient mice. WIP(minus sign/minus sign) mice have normal lymphocyte development, but their T cells fail to proliferate, secrete IL-2, increase their F-actin content, polarize and extend protrusions following T cell receptor ligation, and are deficient in conjugate...
متن کاملInhibition of IL-13 by Antisense Oligonucleotide Changes Immunoglobulin Isotype Profile in Cultured B-Lymphocytes
The link between IL-13 and bronchial hyper-responsiveness has brought this cytokine as a potential therapeutic target for asthma and allergic diseases. At the present study, we address the role of B cell derived IL-13 in the IgE and other immunoglobulin development. Antisense oligo for human IL-13 m-RNA was used to study IgE down regulation. Human B-lymphocytes were purified by positive selecti...
متن کاملCD 28 - induced Costimulation of T Helper Type 2 Cells Mediated by Induction of " Responsiveness to Interleukin
Type 1 and type 2 cloned T helper (Th) cells are believed to require different antigen-presenting cell (APC)-derived costimuli for proliferation. In the case of Thl-cloned T cells, CD28 signaling costimulates production of autocrine interleukin 2 (IL-2). Th2 cells produce their autocrine growth factor, IL-4, without costimulation, but require APC-derived costimuli, or IL-1, to respond to IL-4. ...

T lymphocytes have been characterized to different subsets such as cytotoxic T, Thelper1 (Th1), Th2, Th3, Th9, Th17, and regulatory T cells. Each of these subsets have specific function which distinct them from other lymphocytes. Regulatory T lymphocytes are effective cells in immune system that play an important role in cancers, autoimmune and infectious diseases. Two main subsets of regulator...
متن کاملClonal anergy is maintained independently of T cell proliferation.
Ag encounter in the absence of proliferation results in the establishment of T cell unresponsiveness, also known as T cell clonal anergy. Anergic T cells fail to proliferate upon restimulation because of the inability to produce IL-2 and to properly regulate the G(1) cell cycle checkpoint. Because optimal TCR and CD28 engagement can elicit IL-2-independent cell cycle progression, we investigate...
