摘要:
One major effect of PI3-kinase activation downstream of the serine/threonine kinase Akt is the phosphorylation of the transcription factor FOXO1 and its neutralization. FOXO1 has several ubiquitous targets genes in many cell types that control cell quiescence, oxydative stress or apoptosis. However, it has been demonstrated that FOXO1 also has specific targets depending of the cellular context. The role of FOXO1 to regulate specific genes in T lymphocytes has not been investigated yet. To examine this point, we used the CD4+ leukemia Jurkat T-cell line, in which the PI3K pathway is constitutively turned-on and FOXO1 transcriptional activity strongly repressed. These cells were transduced with lentiviruses coding for a constitutively active form of FOXO1 fused to GFP and having the three AKT phosphorylation sites mutated to alanine (FOXO1-AAA-GFP) to restore its transcriptional activity. GFP-transduced cells were used as a control and the gene activation levels in the two cell populations analyzed 48 hours post-infection.
