Concept of Immunological synapse
Concept philosophically derives from neurobiology
Initially described in the context of cytokine secretion and Th differentiation
• Cellular proximity and [cytokines].
Major research effort to track individual molecules and image immune response in real-time.
![Page 5: Cellular interactions in the immune system. Dr. C. Piccirillo Canada Research Chair Department of Microbiology & Immunology McGill University MIMM-414A.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea35503460f94ba734a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Visualization of immune synapses
• Fixed T-DC samples– Antibody stain and confocal microscopy
• Live cell imaging– In vitro: GFP-tagged protein expressed– In vivo: confocal or 2 photon laser
scanning microscopy (TPLSM)

Different types of Immunological synapses
Functions may vary:1. Directing secretion2. Integrating positive and negative signals3. Timing, duration, and strength of a response.
Distinct stages with distinctMembrane and cytoskeletal requirements
![Page 7: Cellular interactions in the immune system. Dr. C. Piccirillo Canada Research Chair Department of Microbiology & Immunology McGill University MIMM-414A.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea35503460f94ba734a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Assembly of the IS can occur in different circumstances for a variety of functions:– T cell motility– Antigen recognition: TCR threshholds
• Establishing checkpoints for T cell activation• Balancing signaling
– Antigen sensing: specificity versus affinity– T cell activation and suppression
• Enhancing signaling• Termination signaling and effector functions
– Th cell differentiation : IFNR vs IL-4R– Directed secretion: eg; granules in CTL.

Mechanisms and structures of basis immune synapses.
![Page 11: Cellular interactions in the immune system. Dr. C. Piccirillo Canada Research Chair Department of Microbiology & Immunology McGill University MIMM-414A.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea35503460f94ba734a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Role for the cytoskeleton in directing the TCR in cSMAC
• TCR accumulation in cSMAC is dependent on actin cytoskeletal processes, likely controlled by the ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) family of cytoskeletal proteins.
• The ERM cytoskeletal proteins are regulate T cell “shape” and T cell activation.
• ERM proteins act as crosslinkers between the actin filament network and the plasma membrane, operating through their binding to the cytoplasmic regions of integral membrane proteins like CD43 in T cells.
• Ezrin and moesin stably anchor CD43 outside of the synapse at the mature stage (about 30 min after the initial T cell-APC contact in the presence of antigen). The crosslinking function of ERM is regulated through conformational changes controlled by threonine phosphorylation on a motif conserved in all 3 members of the ERM family.
• ERM molecules are highly phosphorylated in resting T cells but are inactivated with respect to their membrane protein-actin cytoskeletal crosslinking capacity by dephosphorylation within the first minute of TCR triggering. Alteration in ERM function after early TCR signaling contributes to T cell shape change during I.S. formation by reducing tethering of the lipid bilayer to cytoskeleton, allowing the T cell to more readily accommodate its surface membrane shape to that of the APC.
• Transient interaction of TCR with pMHC in pSMAC - Ag sensing
• Sustained interaction of TCR with pMHC in cSMAC.- Ag recognition and activation

T cell signals precede IS formation
![Page 16: Cellular interactions in the immune system. Dr. C. Piccirillo Canada Research Chair Department of Microbiology & Immunology McGill University MIMM-414A.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea35503460f94ba734a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Lck and ZAP-70 are activated at the periphery of the immunological synapse.
A mature immunological synapse is not required to initiate T cellactivation, but appears to form as early as signaling is waning.
![Page 17: Cellular interactions in the immune system. Dr. C. Piccirillo Canada Research Chair Department of Microbiology & Immunology McGill University MIMM-414A.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea35503460f94ba734a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Ca+2 responses in activated T cells
T cells loaded with a Ca++ sensitive intracellular dye are added to the fibroblasts, on which the peptide-loaded MHC molecules are shown in blue.
When initial antigen recognition occurs, the T cells change color from yellow to green as the intracellular Ca++ concentration suddenly increases.
Following antigen recognition, MHC molecules accumulate in the contact region between the T cell and the APC, forming an immunological synapse

IS always necessary for T cell function?
• CTL cytotoxicity can be induced at [Ag] too low to trigger other responses (IFN and CD3 internalization).
• At these [Ag], killing precedes IS formation• Thus, at least some aspects of mature IS are
necessary for T cell function.
![Page 20: Cellular interactions in the immune system. Dr. C. Piccirillo Canada Research Chair Department of Microbiology & Immunology McGill University MIMM-414A.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea35503460f94ba734a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Two hours of conjugate formation is sufficient for T cell activation.
Naïve T cells were loaded with CFSE and then conjugated with antigen-loaded APCs. Cell conjugates were disrupted. T cells were reisolated and recultured with unloaded APCs.
After 72 hours, T cell proliferation was determined by FACS analysis CFSE staining of T cells. Panel 1, disrupted after 1 hour.
Panel 2, disrupted after 1 hour, 30 min.
Panel 3, disrupted after 2 hours.
Panel 4, disrupted after 2 hours 30 min.
Panel 5, disrupted after 4 hours.
Panel 6, disrupted after 6 hours.

• CD4+CD25+ cells modulate co-stimulation?• MHC class I/II, B7.1/2, CD40 expression is unaffected.• Suppression is still operative with fixed LPS blasts. • Not overcome with numbers of APCs.
CD4+CD25+ mediated suppression is contact-dependent.
