Ubiquitous Self-Antigen Thymocyte Clonal Deletion Induced by Differential Roles for Bim and Nur77 in
Negative selection, primarily mediated through clonal deletion of self-reactive thymocytes, is critical for establishing self-tolerance and preventing autoimmunity. Recent studies suggest that the molecular mechanisms of negative selection differ depending on the thymic compartment and developmental stage at which thymocytes are deleted. Using the physiological HY cd4 TCR transgenic model of ne...
متن کاملRole of the Multiple T Cell Receptor (TCR)-ζ Chain Signaling Motifs in Selection of the T Cell Repertoire
Immature thymocytes undergo a selection process within the thymus based on their T cell antigen receptor (TCR) specificity that results either in their maturation into functionally competent, self-MHC-restricted T cells (positive selection) or their deletion (negative selection). The outcome of thymocyte selection is thought to be controlled by signals transduced by the TCR that vary in relatio...
متن کاملOpening a window on thymic positive selection: developmental changes in the influence of cosignaling by integrins and CD28 on selection events induced by TCR engagement.
How TCR and non-TCR signals are integrated by thymocytes to generate a decision to undergo either positive or negative selection remains incompletely understood. Recent evidence suggests that TCR signal transduction changes its quality during thymocyte maturation, but whether the contributions of various cosignaling or costimulatory pathways to thymocyte selection also are modified during devel...
متن کاملDistinct transcriptional programs in thymocytes responding to T cell receptor, Notch, and positive selection signals.
T cell antigen receptor (TCR) signaling is necessary but not sufficient to promote the positive selection of CD4+CD8+ thymocytes into CD4+ or CD8+ mature T cells. Notch signaling has also been implicated as a potential regulator of both CD4/CD8 T cell development and TCR signaling. However, the relationship between positive selection, TCR signaling, and Notch remains unclear. Here we use DNA mi...
متن کاملThymic progenitors of TCRαβ+ CD8αα intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes require RasGRP1 for development
Strong T cell receptor (TCR) signaling largely induces cell death during thymocyte development, whereas weak TCR signals induce positive selection. However, some T cell lineages require strong TCR signals for differentiation through a process termed agonist selection. The signaling relationships that underlie these three fates are unknown. RasGRP1 is a Ras activator required to transmit weak TC...
