The Tyrosine Phosphatase Activity of PTPN22 Is Involved in T Cell Development via the Regulation of TCR Expression

The protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN22 inhibits T cell activation by dephosphorylating some essential proteins in the T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated signaling pathway, such as the lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck), Src family tyrosine kinases Fyn, and the phosphorylation levels of Zeta-chain-associated protein kinase-70 (ZAP70). For the first time, we have successfully produced PTPN22 CS transgenic mice in which the tyrosine phosphatase activity of PTPN22 is suppressed. Notably, the number of thymocytes in the PTPN22 CS mice was significantly reduced, and the expression of cytokines in the spleen and lymph nodes was changed significantly. Furthermore, PTPN22 CS facilitated the positive and negative selection of developing thymocytes, increased the expression of the TCRαβ-CD3 complex on the thymus cell surface, and regulated their internalization and recycling. ZAP70, Lck, Phospholipase C gamma1(PLCγ1), and other proteins were observed to be reduced in PTPN22 CS mouse thymocytes. In summary, PTPN22 regulates TCR internalization and recycling via the modulation of the TCR signaling pathway and affects TCR expression on the T cell surface to regulate negative and positive selection. PTPN22 affected the development of the thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, and other peripheral immune organs in mice. Our study demonstrated that PTPN22 plays a crucial role in T cell development and provides a theoretical basis for immune system construction.
