摘要

The Ras pathway is critical for the development and function of T lymphocytes. The stimulation of this GTPase in T cells occurs primarily through the Vav1- and phospholipase C-γ1-dependent activation of RasGRP1, a diacylglycerol-responsive Ras GDP/GTP exchange factor. Here, we show that a second exchange factor, RasGRF2, also participates in T-cell signaling. RasGRF2 is expressed in T cells, translocates to immune synapses, activates Ras, and stimulates the transcriptional factor NF-AT (nuclear factor of activated T cells) through Ras- and phospholipase C-γ1-dependent routes. T-cell receptor-, Vav1-, and Ca2+-elicited pathways synergize with RasGRF2 for NF-AT stimulation. The analysis of RasGRF2-deficient mice indicates that this protein is required for the induction of bona fide NF-AT targets such as the cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 2, while it plays minor roles in Ras activation itself. The comparison of lymphocytes from Vav1?/?, Rasgrf2?/?, and Vav1?/?; Rasgrf2?/? mice demonstrates that the RasGRF2 pathway cooperates with the Vav1/RasGRP1 route in the blasting transformation and proliferation of mature T cells. These results identify RasGRF2 as an additional component of the signaling machinery involved in T-cell receptor- and NF-AT-mediated immune responses.
