Abstract

T cell activation engages multiple intracellular signaling cascades, including the ERK1/2 (p44/p42) pathway. It has been suggested that ERKs integrate TCR signal strength, and are important for thymocyte development and positive selection. However, the requirement of ERKs for the effector functions of peripheral mature T cells and, specifically, for T cell-mediated autoimmunity has not been established VSports手机版. Moreover, the specific requirements for ERK1 vs ERK2 in T cells have not been resolved. Therefore, we investigated the role of ERK1 in T cell immunity to foreign and self Ags and in the induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. The results show that in ERK1-deficient (ERK1-/-) mice, the priming, proliferation, and cytokine secretion of T cells to the self Ag myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptide 35-55 and to the prototypic foreign Ag OVA are not impaired as compared with wild-type mice. Furthermore, ERK1-/- mice are highly susceptible to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis induced with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptide 35-55. Finally, thymocyte development and mitogen-induced proliferation were not impaired in ERK1-/- mice on the inbred 129 Sv and C57BL/6 backgrounds. Collectively, the data show that ERK1 is not critical for the function of peripheral T cells in the response to self and foreign Ags and in T cell-mediated autoimmunity, and suggest that its loss can be compensated by ERK2. .
