Polarized migrating T cells possess 2 poles, the uropod
protrusion at the rear and the leading edge at the front, with specific protein composition and function. The influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) is a prototypical molecule that uses lipid rafts for biosynthetic transport to the apical surface in polarized epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. In this study, HA was used as a tool to
investigate the role of lipid rafts in vectorial protein traffic in
polarized T lymphocytes. Results show that newly synthesized HA becomes
selectively targeted to the uropod subdomain in polarized T
lymphoblasts. HA incorporates into rafts soon after biosynthesis, suggesting that delivery of HA to the uropod occurs through a pathway
of transport reminiscent of that used for its specific targeting to the
apical surface. HA and the adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion
molecule 3 (ICAM-3), CD44, and CD43, 3 endogenous uropod markers, were
detected in surface rafts of T lymphoblasts. Cholesterol, a major
component of lipid rafts, was predominantly located in the uropod.
Disruption of lipid raft integrity by cholesterol sequestration
produced unclustering of ICAM-3 and the loss of uropodia and severely
impaired processes that require a polarized phenotype such as
intercellular aggregation and cell migration. Collectively, these
results indicate that lipid rafts constitute a route for selective
targeting of proteins to the uropod and that the rafts are essential
for the generation, maintenance, and functionality of T-cell
anteroposterior polarity.
