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

Enrique Aguado,1 Sylvie Richelme,1 Selene Nuñez-Cruz,1 Arkadiusz Miazek,1 Anne-Marie Mura,1 Mireille Richelme,1 Xiao-Jun Guo,1* Danielle Sainty,2 Hai-Tao He,1 Bernard Malissen,1dagger Marie Malissen1

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. This paradoxical phenotype establishes an unanticipated inhibitory function for LAT that is critical for the differentiation and homeostasis of TH cells.
