pubmed:abstractText
Vav and PKCtheta play an early and important role in the TCR/CD28-induced stimulation of MAP kinases and activation of the IL-2 gene. Vav is also essential for actin cytoskeleton reorganization and TCR capping. Here, we report that PKCtheta function was selectively required in a Vav signaling pathway that mediates the TCR/CD28-induced activation of JNK and the IL-2 gene and the upregulation of CD69 expression. Vav also promoted PKCtheta translocation from the cytosol to the membrane and cytoskeleton and induced its enzymatic activation in a CD3/CD28-initiated pathway that was dependent on Rac and on actin cytoskeleton reorganization. These findings reveal that the Vav/Rac pathway promotes the recruitment of PKCtheta to the T cell synapse and its activation, essential processes for T cell activation and IL-2 production.
