B-cell development and antigen receptor signalling.
B-cell development and function requires the products of the Vav family of genes. Vav proteins act as key components of the antigen receptor signal transduction machinery by integration of signals that control the cell cycle, differentiation and apoptosis. At the molecular level, Vav proteins regulate small-molecular-mass GTPases, phosphoinositide 3-kinase, TEC family tyrosine kinases and intra...
متن کاملGrb2 regulates B-cell maturation, B-cell memory responses and inhibits B-cell Ca2+ signalling.
Grb2 is a ubiquitously expressed adaptor protein, which activates Ras and MAP kinases in growth factor receptor signalling, while in B-cell receptor (BCR) signalling this role is controversial. In B cell lines it was shown that Grb2 can inhibit BCR-induced Ca(2+) signalling. Nonetheless, the physiological role of Grb2 in primary B cells is still unknown. We generated a B-cell-specific Grb2-defi...
متن کاملB cell signalling as therapeutic target.
B iological therapy holds the promise of specificity of intervention. Recent progress in development of such therapies has proved that rational targeting can lead to clinical benefit. B cells pose an attractive target in autoimmunity. Approaches currently being tested lead to depletion of B cells or at least circulating B cells. Such therapies appear remarkably benign, but the effects of repeat...
متن کاملThe IL-4/IL-13/Stat6 signalling pathway promotes luminal mammary epithelial cell development.
Naïve T helper cells differentiate into Th1 and Th2 subsets, which have unique cytokine signatures, activators and transcriptional targets. The Th1/Th2 cytokine milieu is a key paradigm in lineage commitment, and IL-4 (Il4), IL-13 (Il13) and Stat6 are important mediators of Th2 development. We show here, for the first time, that this paradigm applies also to mammary epithelial cells, which unde...
متن کاملB cell abnormalities in systemic lupus erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by the differentiation of short- and long-lived immunoglobulin secreting plasma cells that secrete pathogenic autoantibodies. Ectopic germinal centers and plasma cells secreting autoantibodies have been observed in lupus nephritis kidneys. Candidate genetic susceptibility loci for SLE include genes tha...
