Genes associated with T helper 17 cell differentiation and function.
Interleukin-17 (IL-17)-producing T helper cells (Th17 cells) constitute a lineage of CD4 effector T helper cells that is distinct from the Th1 and Th2 CD4 phenotypes. In humans, Th17 differentiation is induced in the presence of the cytokines IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TGF beta, whereas IL-23 maintains Th17 survival. Effector human Th17 cells express several cytokines and cell surface markers, includi...
متن کاملTranscriptional Regulation of T Helper 17 Cell Differentiation
The third lineage of T helper subsets, Th17, has recently been identified as an IL- 17-producing CD4+ Th cell, and its functions and regulatory mechanisms have been extensively characterized in immune responses. Functional studies have provided evidence that Th17 cells are important for the modulation of autoimmune responses, such as chronic asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel dise...
متن کاملNF-κB Activation in T Helper 17 Cell Differentiation
CD28/T cell receptor ligation activates the NF-κB signaling cascade during CD4 T cell activation. NF-κB activation is required for cytokine gene expression and activated T cell survival and proliferation. Recently, many reports showed that NF-κB activation is also involved in T helper (Th) cell differentiation including Th17 cell differentiation. In this review, we discuss the current literatur...
متن کاملThe Expression of T-Helper Associated Transcription Factors and Cytokine Genes in Pre-Eclampsia
Background: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is known as a main factor contributing to fetomaternal mortality, which might affect 2-8% of all pregnancies after the twentieth week of gestation. The balance of T helper subsets is essential to sustain a normal pregnancy and preventing fetomaternal complications. Objective: To investigate differences in the levels of transcription factors and cytokine gene e...
متن کاملModeling the Dynamics of T Helper 17 Induction and Differentiation
Background: CD4+ T cells play important roles in orchestrating immune responses, maintaining homeostasis and offering a functional control of immune responses. Depending on the cytokine milieu, a naïve CD4+ T cell differentiates into different phenotypes. The T helper 17 (Th17) phenotype remains controversial since it has been identified as an inductor of inflammation, but it contributes to the...
