Helper T-cell differentiation and plasticity: insights from epigenetics.
CD4(+) T cells have critical roles in orchestrating immune responses to diverse microbial pathogens. This is accomplished through the differentiation of CD4(+) T helper cells to specialized subsets in response to microbial pathogens, which evoke a distinct cytokine milieu. Signal transducer and activator of transcription family transcription factors sense these cytokines and they in turn regu...
متن کاملSubcutaneous Immunotherapy and Synbiotic Combination Shift T-Helper 1 and Cytotoxic T Cells in Allergic Rhinitis
Background: Synbiotics have been used in the prevention and treatment of various immunological diseases. We aimed to investigate the synergistic clinical and immunologic effects of synbiotics and subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy (SCIT) combination in patients with allergic rhinitis. Materials and Methods: Nineteen individuals with all...
متن کاملModel Analysis of Helper T Cell Differentiation
Helper T (Th) cells regulate immune responses by producing various cytokines upon antigen stimulation. Helper T cells can be divided into two subsets, Th1 and Th2 [2]. The Th1 cells are responsible for defense against infectious intracellular microorganisms. The Th2 cells are responsible for defense against extracellular pathogens and the development of allergic immune reactions. The SOCS famil...
متن کاملthe roles of t helper 1, t helper 17 and regulatory t cells in the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis
sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disorder of unidentified etiology, with a heterogeneous clinical presentation. it is characterized by a reduced delayed-type hypersensitivity to tuberculin and common antigens. the balance between th1, th17 and regulatory t(treg) cells controls t-cell proliferation and activation.the th17/treg ratio in the peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid...
متن کاملT-cell differentiation: Commitment factors for T helper cells
The immune system is designed to eradicate a large variety of invading pathogens with minimum immunopathology. T helper cells, also known as CD4+ T cells, may be subdivided into the T helper 1 (Th1) and the T helper 2 (Th2) subsets, which produce distinct profiles of cytokines [1,2]. These Th1 and Th2 cells have opposing roles, regulating immune responses to intracellular and extracellular path...
