The functional network of ion channels in T lymphocytes

Open access

Abstract

Summary: For more than 25 years, it has been widely appreciated that Ca 2+ influx is essential to trigger T‐lymphocyte activation. Patch clamp analysis, molecular identification, and functional studies using blockers and genetic manipulation have shown that a unique contingent of ion channels orchestrates the initiation, intensity, and duration of the Ca 2+ signal. Five distinct types of ion channels – Kv1.3, KCa3.1, Orai1+ stromal interacting molecule 1 (STIM1) [Ca 2+ ‐release activating Ca 2+ (CRAC) channel], TRPM7, and Cl swell – comprise a network that performs functions vital for ongoing cellular homeostasis and for T‐cell activation, offering potential targets for immunomodulation. Most recently, the roles of STIM1 and Orai1 have been revealed in triggering and forming the CRAC channel following T‐cell receptor engagement. Kv1.3, KCa3.1, STIM1, and Orai1 have been found to cluster at the immunological synapse following contact with an antigen‐presenting cell; we discuss how channels at the synapse might function to modulate local signaling. Immuno‐imaging approaches are beginning to shed light on ion channel function in vivo . Importantly, the expression pattern of Ca 2+ and K + channels and hence the functional network can adapt depending upon the state of differentiation and activation, and this allows for different stages of an immune response to be targeted specifically.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
