Stat1-dependent synergistic activation of T-bet for IgG2a production during early stage of B cell activation.
During the adaptive phase of an immune response, naive B cells receive multiple signals to become activated. Among them are the engagement of the B cell Ag receptor and stimulation by cytokines. Specifically for an anti-microbial response, the recognition of viral or bacterial Ags by the BCR and the stimulation of IFN-gamma result in the predominant production of IgG2a. The T-bet protein has be...
متن کاملInduction of IgG2a class switching in B cells by IL-27.
IL-27 is a novel IL-12 family member that plays a role in the early regulation of Th1 initiation. However, its role in B cells remains unexplored. We here show a role for IL-27 in the induction of T-bet expression and regulation of Ig class switching in B cells. Expression of WSX-1, one subunit of IL-27R, was detected at the mRNA level in primary mouse spleen B cells, and stimulation of these B...
متن کاملAn indispensable role for STAT1 in IL-27-induced T-bet expression but not proliferation of naive CD4+ T cells.
IL-27 is a novel IL-12 family member that plays a role in the early regulation of Th1 initiation, induces proliferation of naive CD4+ T cells, and synergizes with IL-12 in IFN-gamma production. It has been recently reported that IL-27 induces T-bet and IL-12Rbeta2 expression through JAK1/STAT1 activation. In the present study, we further investigated the JAK/STAT signaling molecules activated b...
متن کاملT-box transcription factor T-bet, a key player in a unique type of B-cell activation essential for effective viral clearance.
IgG2a is known to be the most efficient antibody isotype for viral clearance. Here, we demonstrate a unique pathway of B-cell activation, leading to IgG2a production, and involving synergistic stimulation via B-cell antigen receptors, toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7), and IFNγ receptors on B cells. This synergistic stimulation leads to induction of T-box transcription factor T-bet expression in B ce...
متن کاملCutting edge: T-bet and IL-27R are critical for in vivo IFN-gamma production by CD8 T cells during infection.
CD8+ T cells are a major source of IFN-gamma, a key effector cytokine in immune responses against many viruses and protozoa. Although the transcription factor T-bet is required for IFN-gamma expression in CD4+ T cells, it is reportedly dispensable in CD8+ T cells, where the transcription factor Eomesodermin is thought to be sufficient. The diverse functions of IFN-gamma are mediated through the...
