The random motility of human T-lymphocytes was measured on microcontact printed surfaces containing ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, and the additional effects of the chemokines CCL21 and CCL19 were investigated. This image shows the morphology of human T-lymphocytes on ICAM-1 substrates in the presence of immobilized CCL21, immunostained for actin (in red) and α-tubulin (in green).

The expression of c-myb in normal human T lymphocytes directly derived from a normal subject and not adapted to continuous growth in culture was found to be markedly increased after phytohemagglutinin stimulation. In the same cells, the expression of c-myc mRNA is a much earlier event compared with the appearance of c-myb mRNA, which takes place soon after that of histone H3 mRNA. The increase in c-myb expression was not due to a particular T-lymphocyte subset, as shown by in situ hybridization assays.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely distributed environmental contaminants, known to affect T lymphocytes. However, the molecular targets and pathways involved in their immunotoxic effects in human T lymphocytes remain unknown. Here, we analyzed the gene expression profile of primary human T lymphocytes treated with the prototypical PAH, benzo[α]pyrene (B[α]P), using a microarray-based transcriptome analysis. After a 48 h exposure to B[α]P, we identified 158 genes differentially expressed in T lymphocytes, including not only genes well-known to be affected by PAHs such as the cytochromes P450 (CYP) 1A1 and 1B1, but also others not previously shown to be targeted by B[α]P such as genes encoding the gap junction beta (GJB)-2 and 6 proteins. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that these candidates were significantly associated with the aryl hydrocarbon (AhR) and interferon (IFN) signaling pathways; a marked alteration in T lymphocyte recruitment was also observed. Using functional tests in transwell migration experiments, B[α]P was then shown to significantly decrease the chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12-induced chemotaxis and transendothelial migration of T lymphocytes. In total, this study opens the way to unsuspected responsive pathway of interest, i.e., T lymphocyte migration, thus providing a more thorough understanding of the molecular basis of the immunotoxicity of PAHs.

Uncovering the plasma membrane distribution of tyrosine kinase Lck is crucial to understanding T lymphocyte triggering. Several studies of Lck species partitioning have given contradictory results. We decided to re-address this point by using phospho-specific antibodies to characterize active and inactive Lck partitioning in raft and non-raft membranes from primary human peripheral blood T lymphocytes. We show that most inactive Lck was localized in rafts and was associated with nearly all CD4 coreceptors and its negative regulator Csk in resting cells, while T cell receptor (TCR) engagement promoted a sustained dephosphorylation of inactive Lck. In contrast, active Lck had a more discrete distribution interacting with only a small number of CD4 coreceptors, and the kinase showed a rapid and short phosphorylation after TCR triggering. The differences in distribution and kinetics may be related to T lymphocyte signalling threshold modulation by Lck species and suggest how TCR triggering is first initiated. This study furthers our knowledge of the TCR activation model in primary human T lymphocytes.
