Multiple distinct NK-cell synapses.
In this issue of Blood, Barreira da Silva and colleagues further unravel the mysterious interaction between human NKcells and dendritic cells (DCs) through detailed study of their synaptic interface.1 Here, actin integrity in the DCs works to restrain cytolysis and enable civil cross-talk thus defining a regulatory NK-cell synapse.
متن کاملDistinct molecular program imposed on CD4+ T cell targets by CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells.
CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are key modulators of immunity, but their mechanism of action is unclear. To elucidate the molecular consequences of Treg encounter, we analyzed changes in gene expression in CD4+ T cell targets activated in the presence or absence of CD4+CD25+ Tregs. Tregs did not alter the early activation program of CD4+ T cells, but had reversed many of the activation-in...
متن کاملShcA regulates late stages of T cell development and peripheral CD4+ T cell numbers.
T cell development in the thymus is a highly regulated process that critically depends upon productive signaling via the preTCR at the β-selection stage, as well as via the TCR for selection from the CD4(+)CD8(+) double-positive stage to the CD4 or CD8 single-positive stage. ShcA is an adapter protein expressed in thymocytes, and it is required for productive signaling through the preTCR, with ...
متن کاملClonal analysis of functionally distinct human CD4+ T cell subsets
A large number of CD4+ T cell clones, obtained from peripheral blood T lymphocytes by direct limiting dilution, allowed us to address the question whether functional heterogeneity exists within the human CD4+ T cell subset. Cytotoxic capacity of cloned T cells was analyzed with the use of anti-CD3 antibodies and target cells bearing FcR for murine IgG. 6 of 12 CD4+ clones obtained were able to ...
متن کاملDistinct Translational Control in CD4+ T Cell Subsets
Regulatory T cells expressing the transcription factor Foxp3 play indispensable roles for the induction and maintenance of immunological self-tolerance and immune homeostasis. Genome-wide mRNA expression studies have defined canonical signatures of T cell subsets. Changes in steady-state mRNA levels, however, often do not reflect those of corresponding proteins due to post-transcriptional mecha...
