Mutations in PINK1, a serine/threonine kinase linked to familial early onset Parkinsonism, compromise mitochondrial integrity and metabolism and impair AKT signaling. As the activation of a naïve T cell requires an AKT-dependent reorganization of a cell’s metabolic machinery, we sought to determine if PINK1 deficient T cells lack the ability to undergo activation and differentiation. We show that CD4+ T cells from PINK1 knockout mice fail to properly phosphorylate AKT upon activation, resulting in reduced expression of the IL-2 receptor subunit CD25. Following, deficient IL-2 signaling mutes the activation-induced increase in respiratory capacity and mitochondrial membrane potential. Under polarization conditions favoring the development of induced regulatory T cells, PINK1−/− T cells exhibit a reduced ability to suppress bystander T cell proliferation despite normal FoxP3 expression kinetics. Our results describe a critical role for PINK1 in integrating extra-cellular signals with metabolic state during T cell fate determination, and may have implications for the understanding of altered T cell populations and immunity during the progression of active Parkinson’s disease or other immunopathologies.
