Increased Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Reactive Oxygen Species Production Accompany Prolonged CD4+ T Cell Activation [IMMUNE REGULATION]

Activation of CD4+ T cells to proliferate drives cells toward aerobic glycolysis for energy production while using mitochondria primarily for macromolecular synthesis. In addition, the mitochondria of activated T cells increase production of reactive oxygen species, providing an important second messenger for intracellular signaling pathways. To better understand the critical changes in mitochondria that accompany prolonged T cell activation, we carried out an extensive analysis of mitochondrial remodeling using a combination of conventional strategies and a novel high-resolution imaging method. We show that for 4 d following activation, mouse CD4+ T cells sustained their commitment to glycolysis facilitated by increased glucose uptake through increased expression of GLUT transporters. Despite their limited contribution to energy production, mitochondria were active and showed increased reactive oxygen species production. Moreover, prolonged activation of CD4+ T cells led to increases in mitochondrial content and volume, in the number of mitochondria per cell and in mitochondrial biogenesis. Thus, during prolonged activation, CD4+ T cells continue to obtain energy predominantly from glycolysis but also undergo extensive mitochondrial remodeling, resulting in increased mitochondrial activity.
