Regulation of Peripheral Lymph Node Genesis by the Tumor Necrosis Factor Family Member Trance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Proper lymph node (LN) development requires tumor necrosis factor-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE) expression. Here we demonstrate that the defective LN development in TRANCE(-/)- mice correlates with a significant reduction in lymphotoxin (LT)alphabeta(+)alpha(4)beta(7)(+)CD45(+)CD4(+)CD3(-) cells and their failure to form clusters in rudimentary mesenteric LNs. Transgenic TRANCE overexpression in TRANCE(-/)- mice results in selective restoration of this cell population into clusters, and results in full LN development. Transgenic TRANCE-mediated restoration of LN development requires LTalphabeta expression on CD45(+) CD4(+)CD3(-) cells, as LNs could not be induced in LTalpha(-/)- mice. LTalpha(-/)- mice also showed defects in the fate of CD45(+)CD4(+)CD3(-) cells similar to TRANCE(-/)- mice. Thus, we propose that both TRANCE and LTalphabeta regulate the colonization and cluster formation by CD45(+) CD4(+)CD3(-) cells in developing LNs, the degree of which appears to correlate with the state of LN organogenesis.

Trance, a Tumor Necrosis Factor Family Member, Enhances the Longevity and Adjuvant Properties of Dendritic Cells in Vivo
Mature dendritic cells (DCs) are powerful antigen presenting cells that have the unique capacity to migrate to the T cell zone of draining lymph nodes after subcutaneous injection. Here we report that treatment of antigen-pulsed mature DCs with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE), a TNF family member, before immunization enhances their adjuvant capacity and ...
متن کاملTRANCE is a TNF family member that regulates dendritic cell and osteoclast function.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE) is a new member of the TNF family emerging as a key regulator of the immune system and of bone development and homeostasis. TRANCE is expressed on activated T cells and activates mature dendritic cells (DC), suggesting that it plays a role in the T cell-DC interaction during an immune response. Furthermore, TRANCE is expre...

Background: The bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumor accounts for 1-2% of all adult malignancies of the lung and 20-30% of all carcinoid tumors. Cushing’s syndrome is the result of chronic exposure to increased concentration of exogenous or endo-genus cortisol hormone, and it is generally associated with central obesity, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Treatment is based on decreasing cortiso...
متن کاملTRANCE, a Tumor Necrosis Factor Family Member Critical for CD40 Ligand–independent T Helper Cell Activation
CD40 ligand (CD40L), a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family member, plays a critical role in antigen-specific T cell responses in vivo. CD40L expressed on activated CD4(+) T cells stimulates antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells, resulting in the upregulation of costimulatory molecules and the production of various inflammatory cytokines required for CD4(+) T cell priming in vivo. Howe...
متن کاملDiverse roles of the tumor necrosis factor family member TRANCE in skeletal physiology revealed by TRANCE deficiency and partial rescue by a lymphocyte-expressed TRANCE transgene.
Tumor necrosis factor-related, activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE), a tumor necrosis factor family member, mediates survival of dendritic cells in the immune system and is required for osteoclast differentiation and activation in the skeleton. We report the skeletal phenotype of TRANCE-deficient mice and its rescue by the TRANCE transgene specifically expressed in lymphocytes. TRANCE-deficient...
