Dendritic cell MST1 inhibits Th17 differentiation

Dendritic cell MST1 inhibits Th17 differentiation

Although the differentiation of CD4+T cells is widely studied, the mechanisms of antigen-presenting cell-dependent T-cell modulation are unclear. Here, we investigate the role of dendritic cell (DC)-dependent T-cell differentiation in autoimmune and antifungal inflammation and find that mammalian sterile 20-like kinase 1 (MST1) signalling from DCs negatively regulates IL-17 producing-CD4+T help...

Estradiol Inhibits Th17 Cell Differentiation

Comparison of Several Maturation Inducing Factors in Dendritic Cell Differentiation

Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen presenting cells that have an important role in the initiation of immune response. The use of maturation factors in dendritic cell differentiation provides a promising approach in immunotherapy. Objective: In this study, we compared tumor necrosis factor-α, polyribocytidylic acid, lipopolysacharide and CpG oligonucleotides in inducing d...

Differentiation and Antigen Presentation to LILRA2 Activation Inhibits Dendritic Cell

Sox5 and Th17 cell differentiation

Sox (SRY-related high-mobility-group (HMG)-box) transcription factors, which are comprised of 20 genes containing a conserved HMG DNA-binding domain, are divided into 8 groups (from A to H) according to structural homologies [reviewed in 1-2]. SoxC group, which is composed of Sox4, Sox11, and Sox12, has a HMG box domain and a transactivation domain and plays important roles in the development o...
