- Abstract
- In addition to a role in translation, AIMP1 is secreted to affect various immune cells, such as macrophages, dendritic cells, B cells, and natural killer cells. However, the direct effects of AIMP1 on T cells have not yet been reported. In this study, we investigated whether AIMP1 could modulate T cell responses directly. Results revealed that AIMP1 significantly inhibited T cell receptor (TCR)-dependent activation and proliferation of CD4 T cells, as well as decreased TCR stimuli-induced Ca2+ influx in CD4 T cells. In addition, microscopic analysis revealed that lipid raft association in response to TCR engagement was significantly reduced in the presence of AIMP1, and the phosphorylation of PLC gamma and PI3K was also down-regulated in CD4 T cells by AIMP1. Furthermore, AIMP1 specifically enhanced the differentiation of regulatory T (Treg) cells, while it had no effect on T helper type 1 (Th1), type 2 (Th2), and type 17 (Th17) cell differentiation. Collectively, these results indicate that AIMP1 affects T cells directly by down-regulating TCR signaling complex formation and inducing Treg cell differentiation in CD4 T cells.
