ABSTRACT
To examine the involvement of lipid rafts in an age-associated decline in T cell function, we analyzed the effect of aging on the constituents of lipid rafts in resting mouse CD4(+) T cells. We found a pronounced, age-dependent reduction in PAG/Cbp, which is involved in the regulation of Src family kinases (SFKs) by recruiting Csk (a negative regulator of SFKs) to lipid rafts. This reduction is specific for T cells and is attributed, at least in part, to the reduction in its mRNA level. The reduction of PAG accompanies marked impairment in recruiting Csk to lipid rafts and a concomitant decrease in the inactive forms of SFKs. These findings indicate that old mouse CD4(+) T cells have a defect in a negative SFK regulatory system.
