Early Activation of Caspases during T Lymphocyte Stimulation Results in Selective Substrate Cleavage in Nonapoptotic Cells
Apoptosis induced by T cell receptor (TCR) triggering in T lymphocytes involves activation of cysteine proteases of the caspase family through their proteolytic processing. Caspase-3 cleavage was also reported during T cell stimulation in the absence of apoptosis, although the physiological relevance of this response remains unclear. We show here that the caspase inhibitor benzyloxycarbonyl (Cb...
متن کاملB and T Lymphocyte Attenuator is a Target of miR-155 during Naive CD4+ T Cell Activation
Background: MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is upregulated during T cell activation, but the exact mechanisms by which it influences CD4+ T cell activation remain unclear. Objective: To examine whether the B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) is a target of miR-155 during naïve CD4+ T cell activation. Methods: Firefly luciferase reporter plasmids pEZX-MT01-wild-type-BTLA and pEZX-MT01-mutant-BTLA were ...
متن کاملMechanosensing in T lymphocyte activation.
Mechanical forces play an increasingly recognized role in modulating cell function. This report demonstrates mechanosensing by T cells, using polyacrylamide gels presenting ligands to CD3 and CD28. Naive CD4 T cells exhibited stronger activation, as measured by attachment and secretion of IL-2, with increasing substrate elastic modulus over the range of 10-200 kPa. By presenting these ligands o...
متن کاملDecidual T lymphocyte activation in hydatidiform mole.
AIM To quantify and compare decidual leucocyte subpopulations in complete and partial hydatidiform molar pregnancy with those in normal early pregnancy. METHODS Decidual leucocytes were characterised using an avidin-biotin technique and a panel of monoclonal antibodies in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded decidual tissues from 10 normal first trimester pregnancy terminations and from 13 parti...
متن کاملAlternative pathways of T lymphocyte activation
Data presented in this paper suggest that there may be two alternative pathways which T lymphocytes can use in generating a cytotoxic response to alloantigens in vitro. First, there is the pathway taken when stimulator and responder cells differ by an entire H-2 complex where Ly1+2- helper T lymphocytes respond to I region encoded lymphocyte defined differences and provide help to the Ly1-2+ cy...
