Tumor growth promotes the expansion of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (T reg) cells that counteract T cell-mediated immune responses. An inverse correlation between natural killer (NK) cell activation and T reg cell expansion in tumor-bearing patients, shown here, prompted us to address the role of T reg cells in controlling innate antitumor immunity. Our experiments indicate that human T reg cells exp...
Reg is a gene associated with regeneration of pancreatic islets. We have previously shown that nicotinamide induces differentiation of human fetal P-cells in tissue culture and that hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is mitogenic for the fetal p-cells. We now tested whether these conditions, supporting either differentiation or growth, are associated with changes in reg gene expre...
Tumor cell clones from a rat colon carcinoma differ in their tumorigenicity and immunogenicity. The PRO clones give rise to progressive tumors, whereas the REG clones yield tumors that regress in a few weeks through a specific immune response. REG cells were more sensitive than PRO cells to apoptosis triggered by serum withdrawal in vitro. Furthermore, a fraction of REG cells, but no PRO cells,...
Regulatory T (T(reg)) cells are often found in human tumors; however, their functional characteristics have been difficult to evaluate due to low cell numbers and the inability to adequately distinguish between activated and T(reg) cell populations. Using a novel approach, we examined the intracellular cytokine production capacity of tumor-infiltrating T cells in the single-cell suspensions of ...
Thymus-derived (natural) CD4(+) FoxP3(+) regulatory T cells (nT reg cells) are required for immune homeostasis and self-tolerance, but must be stringently controlled to permit expansion of protective immunity. Previous findings linking signals transmitted through T cell-expressed C5a receptor (C5aR) and C3a receptor (C3aR) to activation, differentiation, and expansion of conventional CD4(+)CD25...
Expansion and recruitment of CD4(+) Foxp3(+) regulatory T (T reg) cells are mechanisms used by growing tumors to evade immune elimination. In addition to expansion of effector T cells, successful therapeutic interventions may require reduction of T reg cells within the tumor microenvironment. We report that the combined use of the alkylating agent cyclophosphamide (CTX) and an agonist antibody ...
Regulatory CD4 T (T reg) cells control immune responses to self-antigens and pathogens. However, where T reg cells act to curtail effector T cells in vivo and what stage of effector T cell activation or differentiation is targeted by T reg cells remain unknown. Furthermore, a requirement for direct effector T cell-T reg cell contact in vivo has not been ascertained. Varying answers to these imp...
A subpopulation of T cells, named regulatory T cells (T reg cells), has been shown to play a key role in tolerance and the prevention of autoimmunity. It is not known how changes in TCR signal strength during thymic T cell development affect the generation of a T reg population. In this study, we took two different strategies to modulate the TCR signal strength: an intrinsic approach, where sig...
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced small intestinal injuries are serious clinical events and a successful therapeutic strategy is difficult. Regenerating gene (Reg) I protein functions as a regulator of cell proliferation and maintains intercellular integrity in the small intestine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of Reg I in NSAID-induced small intestinal injuri...
BACKGROUND Regenerating gene (REG) family is composed of antiapoptotic factors and growth factors that affect epithelial cells within the digestive system. Regenerating gene-I has been studied in different cancers. However, it has never been studied in head and neck cancer. We investigated the expression of REG-I in head and neck SCC and its relevance to patient survival rates. METHODS Untrea...
