Dwelling on T Cell Fate Decisions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Defining determinants of T cell fate is central to understanding adaptive immunity and the design of effective vaccines. Tubo et al. demonstrate that intrinsic properties of T cell receptor signaling dictate whether CD4 T cells adopt predominantly type 1 helper or follicular helper T cell phenotypes in response to bacterial or viral infection.

mTOR Links Environmental Signals to T Cell Fate Decisions
T cell fate decisions play an integral role in maintaining the health of organisms under homeostatic and inflammatory conditions. The localized microenvironment in which developing and mature T cells reside provides signals that serve essential functions in shaping these fate decisions. These signals are derived from the immune compartment, including antigens, co-stimulation, and cytokines, and...
متن کاملAsymmetric cell division during T cell development controls downstream fate
During mammalian T cell development, the requirement for expansion of many individual T cell clones, rather than merely expansion of the entire T cell population, suggests a possible role for asymmetric cell division (ACD). We show that ACD of developing T cells controls cell fate through differential inheritance of cell fate determinants Numb and α-Adaptin. ACD occurs specifically during the β...
متن کاملAn Instructive Component in T Helper Cell Type 2 (Th2) Development Mediated by Gata-3
Although interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-4 polarize naive CD4(+) T cells toward T helper cell type 1 (Th1) or Th2 phenotypes, it is not known whether cytokines instruct the developmental fate in uncommitted progenitors or select for outgrowth of cells that have stochastically committed to a particular fate. To distinguish these instructive and selective models, we used surface affinity matrix techno...
متن کاملAn Invitation to T and More Notch Signaling in Lymphopoiesis
Cell fate decisions in metazoans are regulated by Notch signals. During lymphoid development, Notch influences a series of cell fate decisions involving multipotent progenitors. This review focuses on current views and lingering uncertainties about Notch function in lymphoid cells.
متن کاملCell Fate Decision Making through Oriented Cell Division
The ability to dictate cell fate decisions is critical during animal development. Moreover, faithful execution of this process ensures proper tissue homeostasis throughout adulthood, whereas defects in the molecular machinery involved may contribute to disease. Evolutionarily conserved protein complexes control cell fate decisions across diverse tissues. Maintaining proper daughter cell inherit...
