要旨

T cells probe the surface of dendritic cells in search of molecular cues reflecting the antigenic and inflammatory status of the body tissues and its malfunction has pathological consequences. To make sense of the formidable complexity of the signal transduction networks involved in T cell activation, we have combined high-throughput “omic”approaches that simultaneously measure large numbers of parameters and genetic screens designed to identify novel components of the CD28 costimulatory pathway.
Using gene-targeted mice bearing a genetic tag permitting affinity purification coupled with mass-spectrometry analysis, signalosomes were directly isolated from primary CD4+ T cells. On that basis, we showed that among the 90 proteins that composed the proximal T cell antigen eceptor signaling network, 65 proteins have not been identified before. In addition, analysis of the CD28 co-stimulatory pathway led us to the identification of a novel essential component. Therefore, rather than the tens of components previously thought to compose the TCR and the CD28 signal transduction networks, our studies suggest the involvement of hundreds. In view of the grand challenges that exist, humility is a more appropriate reaction than hubris.
However, as we will illustrate the prospects of integrating in vitro, in vivo and in silico approaches, each bearing unique advantages and drawbacks, to understand T cell activation are excellent.
Key words: T cells, dendritic cells, functional genomics
