TRAF6 Is Required for Generation of the B-1a B Cell Compartment as well as T Cell-Dependent and -Independent Humoral Immune Responses
نویسندگان
چکیده
TNF receptor superfamily members, such as CD40 and the Toll-like receptors (TLRs), regulate many aspects of B cell differentiation and activation. TRAF6 is an intracellular signaling adaptor molecule for these receptors, but its role in B cells has not been clarified by previous genetic approaches, as the systemic deletion of the TRAF6 gene results in perinatal lethality. Here we show that B cell-specific TRAF6 deficiency results in a reduced number of mature B cells in the bone marrow and spleen. Optimal T cell-dependent (TD) antigen responses, as characterized by isotype switching and long-lived plasma cell generation, are also impaired in B cell-specific TRAF6-deficient mice. B cell-specific TRAF6-deficient mice also exhibit lower levels of serum IgM and IgG2b and defective antigen-specific IgM production in response to T cell-independent (TI) antigens. Unexpectedly, TRAF6-deficient B cell progenitors are unable to generate CD5(+) B-1 cells. These results reveal critical roles for TRAF6 in TD and TI humoral immune responses and in inductive fate decisions necessary to generate the B-1 B cell compartment.

In silico design a multivalent epitope vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 for Iranian populations
Background: Due to high genetic variation in human leukocyte antigen )HLA( alleles, epitope-based vaccines don’t show equal efficacy in different human populations. therefore, we proposed a multi-epitope vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 for Iranian populations. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, the proteins without allergenicity and high antigenicity as well as conservancy level from SARS-CoV...
متن کاملTumor and Stem Cell Biology TRAF6 Upregulates Expression of HIF-1a and Promotes Tumor Angiogenesis
TNF receptor (TNFR)–associated factor TRAF6 is a key activator of NF-kB, playing a critical role in the regulation of innate immune responses and their connection to adaptive immune responses. TRAF6 interactions determine receptor-induced cell death versus survival. TRAF6 has been implicated in cancer but its contributions have not been investigated deeply. In this study, we show that TRAF6 upr...

متن کاملT-cell/b-cell Cooperation in Humoral Immunity
Adoptive transfer experiments illustrate the use of antibodies to cell surface markers in distinguishing the roles of different cell types in the CELL/CELL COOPERATION required for humoral immune responses. While the THYMUS is not itself a site of immune reactivity, it is the source of T-CELLS (“helper” TH-cells) which are required to cooperate with B-CELLS (the precursors of antibody-forming c...
متن کاملHumoral and Cellular Immunomodulation Induced by Propoxure in C57-bl/6 Mice
Propoxure (PPX) is a well-known carbamate insecticide, which has been used for several decades in the world and Iran in agriculture and public health programs. However, there is no clear investigation toward its immunotoxicity as yet. In this study, we examined the effects of subchronic i.p. exposure of PPX on humoral (PFC & HA) and cellular (DTH) responses, and also monitored T-Cell subtypes u...
