We have previously reported at the single cell level that PI3K is activated after conjugate formation between T lymphocytes and APCs. However, in contrast to cells exposed to an asymmetrical signal that usually increase 3'-phosphoinositides (3'-PI) transiently in the region of the activated receptors, T cells contacting APC accumulate 3'-PI across their whole plasma membrane far beyond the region of the immunological synapse (IS). Importantly, this effect is maintained over time, for hours, and although PI3K-dependent pathways translate in various cell types extracellular stimuli into a wide range of biological events, in primary T cells this stability is mostly required for cell division induced by Ag. Using imaging methodologies, the present article elucidates the molecular mechanisms responsible for this particular functioning of the PI3K pathway in primary human T lymphocytes interacting with APCs, especially with dendritic cells. The results reveal that the IS unremittingly recruits PI3K to maintain high 3'-PI levels in T cells through phosphotyrosine-dependent mechanisms, suggesting a major participation of class Ia PI3K. This persistent activation of PI3K results in the Akt-dependent sequestration of the FoxO transcription factor, FoxO1, outside the nucleus of T cells interacting with APCs. Using an active form of FoxO1, we demonstrate that this compartmentalization process can affect T cell growth after Ag recognition. We conclude that the need for sustained PI3K signaling within the consolidated IS is probably an undemanding tactic used by primary T cells critical for initiating cell cycle progression through the prolonged inactivation of FoxO1, one important factor that can control cell quiescence.
