IL-23 promotes maintenance but not commitment to the Th17 lineage.
IL-23 plays a critical role establishing inflammatory immunity and enhancing IL-17 production in vivo. However, an understanding of how it performs those functions has been elusive. In this report, using an IL-17-capture technique, we demonstrate that IL-23 maintains the IL-17-secreting phenotype of purified IL-17(+) cells without affecting cell expansion or survival. IL-23 maintains the Th17 p...
متن کاملEssentials of Th17 cell commitment and plasticity.
CD4(+) T helper (Th) cells exist in a variety of epigenetic states that determine their function, phenotype, and capacity for persistence. These polarization states include Th1, Th2, Th17, and Foxp3(+) T regulatory cells, as well as the more recently described T follicular helper, Th9, and Th22 cells. Th17 cells express the master transcriptional regulator retinoic acid-related orphan receptor ...
متن کاملC/EBPα regulates osteoclast lineage commitment.
Despite recent insights gained from the effects of targeted deletion of the Finkel-Biskis-Jinkins osteosarcoma oncogene (c-fos), Spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV) proviral integration 1 (PU.1), microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, NF-κB, and nuclear factor of activated cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) transcription factor genes, the mechanism underlying transcription factors specifying o...
متن کاملThymus lineage commitment: a single switch.
In this issue of Immunity, He et al. (2008) establish the logic and circuitry that determine CD4-CD8 lineage specification. It all comes down to an eighty base pair silencer switch.
متن کاملA Key Regulator of Cardiovascular Lineage Commitment
In mammals, the heart arises from the differentiation of 2 sources of multipotent cardiovascular progenitors (MCPs). Different studies indicated that an evolutionary conserved transcriptional regulatory network controls cardiovascular development from flies to humans. Whereas in Drosophila, Tinman acts as a master regulator of cardiac development, the identification of such a master regulator i...
