Transendothelial migration of activated lymphocytes from the blood
into the tissues is an essential step for immune functions. The
housekeeping chemokine CXCL12 (or stroma cell-derived factor-1 Lymphocyte migration from the blood to the tissues
is an essential step for immune surveillance. Chemokines play a central role in this process by conferring specificity in lymphocyte
trafficking. Those present at the surfaces of endothelial cells are
responsible for the activation of lymphocyte integrins, which, within
seconds, change affinity for their ligands from a low- to a
high-affinity state, allowing lymphocytes to stop on the endothelial
wall. Chemokines secreted by cells within the subendothelial matrix
attract lymphocytes across the vascular endothelial cell wall into the
extracellular matrix, where they can exert their immune
functions.1,2
Stroma cell-derived factor-1 CXCL12 is a homeostatic chemokine, which means that it is produced
within primary and secondary lymphoid tissues and in nonlymphoid tissues such as the skin and that it is involved in the physiologic traffic of cells of the immune system.15-17 Within these
localizations, T and B cells are highly susceptible to encounter
antigen. Thus an important question is whether antigen presentation to
T or B cells, that is, T-cell receptor (TCR) or B-cell receptor (BCR) occupancy, might regulate chemokine receptor-induced activation signals. Recently, it was shown that CXCL12 plays a role in
costimulating T cells,18 whereas TCR activation or BCR
engagement inhibits CXCL12-induced chemotaxis.19-21 These
data suggest that PTK signaling pathways activated by antigen receptor
occupancy might cross-talk with CXCR4-dependent pathways.
In this report, we focused our work on the protein tyrosine kinase
zeta-associated protein (ZAP)-70, a key signaling element in T-cell
activation. The role of ZAP-70 on CXCL12 functional and biochemical
effects was assessed in different T-cell lines and in CD4+
T cells obtained from a patient with ZAP-70 deficiency. Here we show
that ZAP-70 is required for CXCL12-induced transendothelial T-cell
migration and for downstream signaling components including Vav1 and
ERKs. Our results underscore the major implication of the nonreceptor
PTK ZAP-70 in CXCR4 signaling in T cells.
Reagents and antibodies
Cells
CD4+ T cells were obtained from a patient with ZAP deficiency and have been described elsewhere.23 Briefly, after institutional review board approval and informed consent, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient centrifugation. CD4+ T cells were purified using anti-CD4-coated magnetic beads as per the manufacturer's instructions (Dynal, Great Neck, NY). Cells were cultured in Yssel medium supplemented with 1% human AB+ serum and recombinant human interleukin-2 (IL-2) at 100 U/mL (Chiron, Emeryville, CA). Cells were stimulated weekly with phytohemagglutinin (0.5 µg/mL) (Murex, Dartford, England) and with irradiated feeder cells consisting of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and the Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B-cell line JY. Plasmids and retroviral construction The pEGFP-N1 plasmid was obtained from Clontech (Palo Alto, CA). Plasmids pEFneo-HA-ZAP-7024 and pEFneo-Vav1-myc L213A25 have been previously described. Murine 3BP2 cDNA26 was a myc epitope tagged by in-frame insertion into the pCS3 6 × myc tags vector.27 Plasmid encoding dominant-negative Rac1 (Rac1N17) was a kind gift of Dr M. Schwartz (La Jolla, CA). Construction of the LZRS-ZAP-70-epithelial growth factor protein (EGFP) retroviral vector and production of the retrovirus harboring the LZRS-ZAP-70-EGFP vector were previously described.28 Briefly, a VSV epitope tagged ZAP-70 cDNA was cloned into the EcoRI and NotI sites of the polylinker in the murine leukemia virus-based LZRS retroviral vector. In this vector, the EGFP coding region is present downstream of an encephalomyocarditis-derived internal ribosomal entry site. The PG13 packaging line that produces gibbon ape leukemia virus envelope-pseudotyped retrovirus harboring the LZRS-ZAP-70/EGFP vector were identified by their autofluorescence and sorted on a FACS Vantage flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA). ZAP-70-deficient CD4+ T cells were transduced on fibronectin-coated plates and were exposed to retrovirus for 6 hours before incubation in Yssel medium overnight with IL-2. The transduction procedure was repeated once as previously described.28Transient transfection Simian virus 40 T-antigen-transfected human leukemic Jurkat T cells (Jurkat-TAg) (kindly provided by G. Crabtree, Stanford, CA) were electroporated as described previously.29 Briefly, 107 cells in a logarithmic growth phase were transfected with 30 µg pEFneo-Vav1-myc L213A plasmid or empty control vector, together with 5 µg pEGFP-N1 vector. Cells were cultured for 48 hours and were used in cell migration assays, as described below. Green fluorescence protein-positive (GFP+) cells were detected by flow cytometry (FACScan, Becton Dickinson).Cell migration assay Migration of T cells was assessed in 24-well chemotaxis chambers (6.5-mm diameter; Costar, Cambridge, MA). Polycarbonate transwell culture inserts with an 8-µm pore size were used for Jurkat cell lines, whereas inserts with a 3-µm pore sizes were used for phytohemagglutinin-activated T cells. Endothelial cells were cultured on the upper side of the membrane for 2 days before experiment and were left unstimulated. Medium alone or medium plus CXCL12 (100 ng/mL) was added in the lower chamber, and the lymphocyte suspension was added in the upper well. Lymphocyte migration in the lower well was measured after 90-minute migration. Unless mentioned, 0.5 × 106 lymphocytes of each cell type were added in the upper well throughout this study. In some experiments, migration was performed through the mixture of 2 or 3 different cell lines that had been labeled with different fluorescent dyes that did not interfere with T-cell migration. Briefly, cell lines were separately incubated with CellTracker Green CMFDA (0.5 µg/mL) or CellTracker Orange CMTMR (2 µg/mL), or they were left unlabeled, for 30 minutes at 37°C in the dark. Cells were then washed 3 times, mixed, and added to the upper well. Migration of each population was quantified by using beads (Flow Count; Beckman-Coulter, Brea, CA) and flow cytometry.Flow chamber and in vitro flow studies The flow chamber was purchased from Immunetics (Cambridge, MA) and has been described elsewhere.30 It was designed to allow stabilized laminar flow between 0.1 and 2 dyn/cm2. T cells at a concentration of 1 × 106/mL in Hanks balanced salt solution supplemented with 1 mM CaCl2 and 1 mM MgCl2 were perfused through the chamber on a monolayer of endothelial cells or coated rsVCAM-1 using a withdrawal syringe pump (Harvard Apparatus, Boston, MA). In most experiments, T-cell lines were fluorescently labeled, washed 3 times, mixed, and perfused through the flow chamber for 5 minutes, as described.31 Medium was perfused to remove nonfirmly adherent lymphocytes before quantification on 6 random fields of 0.65 mm2 each using a laser scanning confocal microscope (Ultima Meridian; DGL Bioscience) with a 10× objective. In rolling experiments, lymphocyte-endothelial interactions in different fields were videotaped for 30 seconds using a CCD video camera and a video recorder. Images were then digitized using a Power Macintosh G3 (Apple Computer, Cupertino, CA) with video card (miroMOTION DC30; Pinnacle Systems, Germany) and commercial software (Adobe Premiere and Adobe Photoshop; Adobe Systems, San Jose, CA). Rolling velocities were measured by determining the number of frames (each 1/30th of a second length of time) it took 25 cells to cross a 350-µm long field.Measurement of actin polymerization Cells were stimulated with CXCL12 for the indicated periods of time at 37°C. Reactions were stopped by the addition of ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). After centrifugation at 4°C for 3 minutes at 1500 rpm, cells were fixed for 15 minutes in 0.5 mL PBS, 3.7% paraformaldehyde. Cells were then washed 3 times in ice-cold PBS and 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and were incubated in PBS, 1% BSA, 0.1% azide, and 0.05% saponin for 15 minutes at 20°C. After centrifugation, cells were gently resuspended in the above buffer containing 50 ng/mL FITC-labeled phalloidin for 30 minutes at 20°C in the dark. After washing the cells 3 times in ice-cold PBS 1% BSA,
polymerized actin (F-actin) was analyzed by flow cytometry.
Immunoblot analysis and immunoprecipitation Cells (107/mL) in RPMI containing 5% FCS and 25 mM HEPES (pH 7.5) were preincubated at 37°C for different periods of time with CXCL12 (50 ng/mL). Activation was stopped by the addition of 1 mL ice-cold stop buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 100 mM NaF, 10 mM EDTA, 10 mM Na4P2O7, and 2 mM Na3VO4). After centrifugation, cells were resuspended in ice-cold lysis buffer (1% Triton X-100 in 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 5 mM NaF, 5 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 10 µg/mL aprotinin, 10 µg/mL leupeptin, and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride) for 30 minutes. Lysates were clarified by centrifugation at 15 000g for 10 minutes at 4°C, and protein concentration was determined using the bicinchoninic acid protein assay (Pierce, Rockford, IL). Cleared lysates were incubated for 3 hours at 4°C with the indicated antibodies and protein G-Sepharose beads (Sigma). Pellets were then washed 3 times with ice-cold lysis buffer containing 0.2% Triton X-100 and were resuspended in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) sample buffer. Eluted immunoprecipitates or whole-cell lysates were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and were analyzed by immunoblotting. Reactive proteins were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence and autoradiography.
Transendothelial T-cell migration requires the presence of the PTK ZAP-70 Different lines of evidence support the fact that the protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70 is required for CXCL12-induced T-cell migration. First, we compared the transendothelial migration of Jurkat cells, P116 cells (a mutant Jurkat cell line that lacks ZAP-70) transfected with either the wild-type ZAP-70 cDNA or with the empty vector, and CD3 JRT3.T3 cells. Typically, 0.5 × 106
cells of the different cell lines were added in the upper well of a
Transwell chamber and were allowed to migrate through a resting endothelial cell monolayer. The absolute number of each population of
migrating cells was then determined by flow cytometry using calibrated
beads. As shown in Figure 1A, the
migration of ZAP-70-deficient cells (P116 neo) was severely impaired
compared with Jurkat cells. Stable expression of wild-type ZAP-70 in
the deficient cell line strongly enhanced its migratory capability,
reaching levels similar to those of wild-type Jurkat cells. In
contrast, the absence of CD3 complex surface expression did not affect
T-cell migration, suggesting that ZAP-70 can function in CXCR4
signaling pathways in the absence of functional TCR subunits (Figure
1A). Consistent with a previous report,20 we also
observed that T-cell activation by a CD3 mAb decreased the migration of
ZAP-70+-P116 cells, but not the migration of P116 cells
transfected with the empty vector (not shown). Proper expression of
ZAP-70 in ZAP-70+-P116 cells was visualized by anti-ZAP-70
immunoblot analysis (Figure 1A, inset). Second, we used primary
CD4+ T cells derived from a patient with severe combined
immunodeficiency (SCID) previously shown to be lacking
ZAP-70.23 Cells were retrovirally transduced with ZAP-70,
as previously described.28 We compared the migration of
untransduced ZAP-70-deficient cells with that of ZAP-70-reconstituted
cells. As shown in Figure 1B, the migration of ZAP-70-deficient cells
was clearly impaired compared with cells reconstituted with wild-type
ZAP-70. As a control, ZAP-70 was expressed in retrovirally transduced
CD4+ T cells (Figure 1B, inset). Similar expression levels
of CXCR4 were detected in ZAP-70-deficient and reconstituted cells
from the patient with SCID (Figure 1C), indicating that differences observed in migration levels did not result from a decreased CXCR4 surface expression. Moreover, CXCR4 expression was also similar in
Jurkat cells and in the P116 cell lines (either ZAP-70-deficient or
-reconstituted). Finally, we tested the effect of piceatannol, a Syk
kinase inhibitor,32,33 on T-cell migration induced by CXCL12. Dose responses showed that up to 50% of migration was inhibited by piceatannol at a concentration of 25 µM (Figure
2A). As a control, CXCL12-induced T-cell
migration was also inhibited by inhibitors of PI3 kinase (Ly294002),
PTKs (herbimycin A), or G proteins (pertussis toxin) (Figure 2B). In
contrast, KN62, a calmodulin kinase inhibitor, did not affect cell
migration (Figure 2B).
ZAP-70 is not required for T-cell arrest on endothelium under flow conditions Recruitment of lymphocytes into inflammatory tissues requires the interactions of lymphocytes carried away by blood flow with the endothelium through a multistep process that involves tethering and rolling of lymphocytes on endothelial cells, rapid activation of integrins, and firm arrest of cells before diapedesis into the tissues.1,2,16 Because ZAP-70 appears to play an important role in the last step of this process, transendothelial migration, we tested its role in T-cell arrest on endothelial cells under flow. Endothelial cells were activated by TNF- 18 hours before the
experiments. Under these conditions, the expression of adhesion molecules such as VCAM-1 or ICAM-1 was optimum (not shown).
ZAP-70-deficient or -expressing cells were labeled with fluorescent
dyes, mixed, and perfused through a flow chamber on the endothelial
cell layer under the same flow conditions. T-cell arrest was finally
quantified by measuring the number of firmly adherent cells. As shown
in Figure 3A, we did not observe any
significant differences between Jurkat and P116 cells. A similar
experiment performed on chambers coated with recombinant soluble VCAM-1
(rsVCAM-1) also showed that ZAP-70 expression did not affect T-cell
arrest on VCAM-1 (Figure 3B). Measurement of rolling velocities also
showed that ZAP-70 is not involved in this step (not shown).
Finally, we assessed the potential role of ZAP-70 in the regulation of actin polymerization induced by CXCL12 on T cells. As shown in Figure 3C, CXCL12 induced similar actin polymerization on Jurkat and P116 cells, suggesting that ZAP-70 is not involved in this process. CXCL12 induces tyrosine phosphorylation of ZAP-70 and Vav1 To further study the cross-talk between ZAP-70 and CXCR4 signaling, we examined tyrosine phosphorylation events induced by CXCL12 in Jurkat cells in the presence or absence of the ZAP-70 inhibitor piceatannol. Figure 4A shows a strong inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation patterns in zones corresponding to apparent molecular weights of ZAP-70 and Vav1, whereas phosphorylation in the zone corresponding to p56lck was unchanged (arrowed).
To confirm tyrosine phosphorylation of ZAP-70 by CXCL12, ZAP-70+-P116 cells (left side) and P116 cells (right side) were activated by CXCL12 for different periods of time, and cell lysates were subjected to anti ZAP-70 immunoprecipitations. Proteins separated by SDS-PAGE were then analyzed by immunoblotting with either antiphosphotyrosine or ZAP-70 antibodies. Figure 4B shows that in ZAP-70+-P116 cells, ZAP-70 was tyrosine phosphorylated in a time-dependent manner in the presence of CXCL12. As a control, no ZAP-70 was detected in the ZAP-70-deficient cell line P116. In addition, Figure 4C shows that CXCL12 induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav1 in Jurkat and ZAP-70+-P116 cells, and this phosphorylation was strongly reduced in the absence of ZAP-70. In contrast, no difference in Lck tyrosine phosphorylation was observed (Figure 4C). To further confirm a role of Vav1 in ZAP-70-dependent T-cell
migration, we transiently expressed a dominant-negative form of Vav1
(Vav1 L213A)25 into the Jurkat-TAg cell line. Figure 5 shows that T-cell migration in the
presence of CXCL12 is strongly decreased by the overexpression of Vav1
L213A compared with cells transfected with vector only. In contrast,
overexpression of wild-type Vav1 did not significantly modify cell
migration. Consistent with previous studies,34 we also
observed that T-cell migration was inhibited up to 50% by the
overexpression of a dominant-negative form of Rac1 (Rac1N17). To take
into account any side effects that might inhibit nonspecific T-cell
migration, we observed that the overexpression of 3BP2, an unrelated
cytoplasmic adapter,26 had no significant effect on
migration (Figure 5). Overall, these data suggest that CXCL12 activates
ZAP-70, which in turn regulates the phosphorylation of Vav1, a key
enzyme in the activation of the Rac/Rho family GTPases.
Catalytic activity of ZAP-70 is required for CXCL12-induced T-cell migration To determine which domain of ZAP-70 participates in the regulation of CXCL12 signaling, we tested the migration of Jurkat cell lines stably transfected with different ZAP-70 mutants. The FF18-22 cell line expresses a mutated form of ZAP-70 in which tyrosines 492 and 493 of the regulatory loop of its kinase domain have been replaced by phenylalanine. The KD12 cell line expresses a kinase-deficient ZAP-70 in which Asn is substituted for Asp-461, an essential amino acid for the catalytic activity. The Y41-40 cell line expresses a mutant of ZAP-70 in which Tyr-319 in the linker domain was replaced by Phe.35 Expression of ZAP-70 mutants in Jurkat cells has been shown to affect normal functions of endogenous ZAP-70 after TCR stimulation.22 Proper expression of ZAP-70 mutants in FF18-22, KD12, and Y41-40 cell lines was visualized by anti-VSV immunoblot analysis (Figure 6, inset). Migration of these cell lines was compared with that of control Jurkat cells. Without CXCL12, all the cell lines migrated at approximately the same level. In contrast, when CXCL12 was added to the lower well, a dramatic discrepancy between Jurkat cells and FF18-22 or KD12 cells was observed (Figure 6). Interestingly, the mutation of tyrosine 319, a residue involved in ZAP-70-p56lck interaction, had a limited effect on T-cell migration. The defective migration of FF18-22 and KD12 cells was not attributed to a decreased expression of CXCR4 because CXCR4 was expressed at similar levels on the different clones (not shown). Thus, inactivating the kinase domain of ZAP-70 not only interferes with TCR-induced signal transduction, it interferes with biochemical pathways activated by CXCL12.
Role of ZAP-70 in CXCL12 activation of the ERK pathway Because the stimulation of CXCR4 activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways,10,11 we investigated the potential role of ZAP-70 during ERK activation by CXCL12. Figure 7A shows that in Jurkat cell lines, CXCL12-induced phosphorylation of ERK was strongly inhibited by preincubation with piceatannol. As controls, U0126, a specific MEK inhibitor, and pertussis toxin, a G-protein inhibitor, completely blocked MAPK phosphorylation events induced by CXCL12. Next, we compared the ability of CXCL12 to induce ERK activation in P116 and ZAP-70+-P116 cells. As shown in Figure 7B, the lack of ZAP-70 resulted in a marked decrease of ERK phosphorylation induced by CXCL12. Quantification of spot intensity performed by densitometry scanning showed that ERK activation was decreased up to 50% in the absence of ZAP-70 (not shown). Finally, we measured Jurkat cell transendothelial migration after preincubation with U0126 or SB202190, a p38 MAPK inhibitor, or piceatannol. Although U0126 and SB202190 blocked ERK (Figure 7A) and p38 MAPK (not shown) activities, respectively, they did not affect T-cell transendothelial migration (Figure 7C). In contrast, and as shown before, piceatannol inhibited CXCL12-induced Jurkat cell migration. Together, these data show that ZAP-70 participates in the signaling pathways required for MAPK activation by CXCL12 in T cells. However, they also indicate that MAPK activation by CXCL12 is not required for T-cell migration.
During the past few years, chemokines and their receptors have received considerable attention. In addition to their roles in leukocyte traffic and immune system development, their involvement in physiological and pathologic processes were found to be considerable and broader than initially thought.17,36 From this perspective, it has been shown recently that CXCL12 may play an important role in T-cell costimulation besides T-cell chemotaxis. On TCR-stimulated T cells, CXCL12 up-regulates early-activation markers and costimulates proliferation and cytokine production.18 Such cross-talk between TCR- and CXCR4-dependent pathways might be of capital importance in the regulation of the immune response. This prompted us to examine how both pathways could be connected. In this work, we demonstrate that ZAP-70, a PTK critically involved in TCR signaling, is also implicated in the regulation of CXCL12-induced T-cell migration. We show here that the absence of ZAP-70 in leukemic T-cell lines or in lymphocytes obtained from a patient with ZAP-70 deficiency resulted in reduced CXCL12-induced chemotaxis. Restoration of ZAP-70 expression in these cells, either by transfection or by retroviral transduction of ZAP-70, re-established their response to CXCL12. Our data are consistent with those of a recent report describing a role of ZAP-70 in T-cell migration on fibronectin induced by CXCL12.37 Interestingly, Soede et al38,39 showed that ZAP-70 was also required in the LFA-1-dependent migration of a T-cell hybridoma in response to CXCL12, a pathway involved in the amplification of the chemokine signal. Thus, in addition to its critical role in TCR signaling, ZAP-70 also appears to play an important role in precise molecular pathways regulating T-cell chemotaxis. We also examined how ZAP-70 interacts with the signaling pathways
induced by the binding of CXCL12 to its receptor. It is well known that
TCR engagement results in the activation of the nonreceptor PTKs Lck
and Fyn, which phosphorylate TCR We also studied how mutations within ZAP-70 kinase domain might affect the migratory capabilities of leukemic T cells. In humans, most of the autosomal recessive forms of SCID induced by ZAP-70 mutations are located within this kinase domain.23,48-50 Therefore, we used 2 Jurkat cell lines stably transfected with mutated forms of ZAP-70 in which the kinase domain was inactivated. All these mutations have been shown to result in impaired ZAP-70 function during T-cell activation.22 Interestingly, neither of these 2 cell lines responded to CXCL12 in a migration assay, suggesting that expression and activity of ZAP-70 are both required for CXCL12-induced T-cell migration. In contrast, the mutation of tyrosine 319, a residue involved in ZAP-70-p56lck interaction, had a limited effect on T-cell migration. Thus, an important point raised by these results is how defects in ZAP-70 result in the impairment of T-cell migration. Our data show that ZAP-70 is involved in at least 2 pathways, namely the activation of the MAPK pathway and the activation of the nucleotide exchange factor Vav1. Activation of the MAPK pathway by chemokines has been shown in different cell lines. In T cells, Tilton et al11 have shown that CXCL12 activates ERK2, and they suggested that CXCL12-induced ERK2 activation might play a role in embryogenesis and lymphopoiesis. Recently, Cambien et al51 showed that pharmacologic inhibition of ZAP-70-related PTK Syk affected MCP-1-induced stress-activated protein kinase SAPK1/JNK1 activation and transendothelial migration of a monocytic cell line. However, other reports obtained in Jurkat cells52 and in hematopoietic progenitor cells53 concluded that CXCL12-induced chemotaxis is not related to the ERK pathway. Obviously, our results obtained in Jurkat T cells support the latter observation. Although the discrepancy might be explained by the different cells and chemokines used in these studies, one might suggest that activation of the MAPK pathway by ZAP-70 contributes to other functions, such as the comitogenic effect of CXCL12 on TCR-stimulated T cells,18 but not to chemotaxis. ZAP-70 also appears to control tyrosine phosphorylation of the nucleotide exchange factor, Vav1, on the CXCL12 stimulation of T cells. Vav1 is phosphorylated on tyrosine in response to a wide variety of stimuli,54 and it has been involved in multiple pathways controlled by ZAP-70 in T cells.55 Several PTKs, including ZAP-70, have been shown to phosphorylate Vav1.29,56,57 In addition to its enzymatic activity as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the Rho family of small GTPases, Vav1 functions as an adapter protein that helps convey signals from membrane-associated complexes.55,58 Our results show that CXCL12-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav1 is clearly impaired in the ZAP-70-deficient cell line P116. In contrast, we did not detect any significant modification in the phosphorylation of the Src kinase Lck, which acts upstream of ZAP-70. Vav1 phosphorylation results in an augmentation of its GDP/GTP exchange activity for the Rho family GTPases, Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA.59 These proteins regulate signals leading to actin cytoskeleton changes60 and were shown to regulate CXCL12-induced T-cell chemotaxis.34 Indeed, we observed that the expression in Jurkat cells of dominant-negative forms of Vav1 or its target, Rac1, severely impaired CXCL12-induced migration. Moreover, it has been recently shown that interactions between Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein and Cdc42 are critical for CXCL12-induced chemotaxis of T cells.61 Our results fit well with these data, suggesting that the activation of Rac1/Cdc42 by CXCL12 can occur after the activation of ZAP-70 and Vav1. In conclusion, our work emphasizes the cross-talk between the TCR and the chemokine receptor, CXCR4, leading to a regulation of T-cell migration through the activation of a ZAP-70-dependent signaling pathway. This regulatory process, which results from a complex and coordinate integration of both pathways, is likely to play an important role in the immune response.
