Fragestellung
Warum proliferiert, differenziert oder stirbt die T-Zelle?
Unter welchen Umständen reagiert die T-Zelle bzw. eben nicht (Anergie)?
Welche Signale bestimmen die Differenzierungs-richtung (T-helfer 1, 2, 17… oder T-regulatorische Zelle)?
Was entscheidet über die Entwicklung zur Effektor- bzw. zur Gedächniszelle?

Two classes of PTK = Phospho Tyrosine Kinases1. src family (Lck, Fyn)
Lck binds no-covalently to CD4 and CD8
2. Syk/ZAP70 (Syk in B cells, ZAP70 in T cells)ZAP70 binds to P-Tyr when ITAM is phosphorylated by Lck
LckSH2 (src homology domain 2) binds to P-tyr Y505
and forms a closed, inactive conformation.Phosphorylation of Y394 activates Lck.
16
Csk and CD45 regulate LckCsk is a kinase that negatively regulates Lck by phosphorylation of Y505;
CD45 phosphatase positively regulates Lck by putting it in primed state (in resting T cells and thymocytes)

TCR signals (anti-CD3/CD28) can be bypassed byTPA/PMA (phorbol ester) that activates PKC
and ionomycin (calcium ionophore).

Intracellular signaling and important transcription factors

T cell activation involves several steps:
1. Close proximity of CD4 or CD8 to TCR
2. Activation of PTK (protein tyrosine kinase)
3. Plasma membrane inositol phospholipid hydrolysis
4. Increased intracellular Ca2+ and activation of PKC (protein kinase C)
5. Activation of transcription factor NFAT
6. Activation of transcription factor NFκB
7. Activation of MAP kinases and transcriptional activation of AP-1 (fos and jun)
8. Transcription of cytokine genes (e.g. IL-2 through binding of NFAT/AP-1 and NFκB to the IL-2 promoter/enhancer)
