Forkhead/winged helix (FOX) transcription factors are essential for control of the cell cycle and metabolism. Here, we show that spleens from Mf2-/- (FOXD2-/-) mice have reduced mRNA (50%) and protein (35%) levels of the RIalpha subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). In T cells from Mf2-/- mice, reduced levels of RIalpha translates functionally into approximately 2-fold less sensitivity to cAMP-mediated inhibition of proliferation triggered through the T cell receptor/CD3 complex. In Jurkat T cells, FOXD2 over-expression increased the endogenous levels of RIalpha through induction of the RIalpha1b promoter. FOXD2 over-expression also increased the sensitivity of the promoter to cAMP. Finally, co-expression experiments demonstrated that PKBalpha/Akt1 work together with FOXD2 in order to induce the RIÑ1b promoter (10-fold) and increase endogenous RIalpha protein levels further. Taken together, our data indicate that FOXD2 is a physiological regulator of the RIalpha1b promoter in vivo working synergistically with PKB in order to induce PKA RIalpha expression, which increases cAMP sensitivity and sets the threshold for cAMP-mediated negative modulation of T cell activation.
