T cell activation and especially trafficking of T cell receptor microclusters
during immunological synapse formation are widely thought to rely on cytoskeletal
remodeling. However, important details on the involvement of actin in the latter
transport processes are missing. Using a suite of advanced optical microscopes to
analyze resting and activated T cells, we show that, following contact formation
with activating surfaces, these cells sequentially rearrange their cortical actin
across the entire cell, creating a previously unreported ramifying actin network
above the immunological synapse. This network shows all the characteristics of an
inward-growing transportation network and its dynamics correlating with T cell
receptor rearrangements. This actin reorganization is accompanied by an increase
in the nanoscale actin meshwork size and the dynamic adjustment of the turnover
times and filament lengths of two differently sized filamentous actin
populations, wherein formin-mediated long actin filaments support a very flat and
stiff contact at the immunological synapse interface. The initiation of
immunological synapse formation, as highlighted by calcium release, requires
markedly little contact with activating surfaces and no cytoskeletal
rearrangements. Our work suggests that incipient signaling in T cells initiates
global cytoskeletal rearrangements across the whole cell, including a stiffening
process for possibly mechanically supporting contact formation at the
immunological synapse interface as well as a central ramified transportation
network apparently directed at the consolidation of the contact and the delivery
of effector functions.
