IL-27 has recently been identified as a differentiation factor for the generation of IL-10-producing regulatory type 1 (Tr1) T cells. However, how IL-27 induces the expansion of Tr1 cells has not been elucidated. In this study we demonstrate that IL-27 drives the expansion and differentiation of IL-10-producing murine Tr1 cells by inducing three key elements: the transcription factor c-Maf, the...
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy (OA-ICOS) is investigated and compared to direct absorption spectroscopy using multipass absorption cells [tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS)]. Applying measured noise characteristics of a near-IR tunable diode laser and detector, it is shown that the optimum SNR is not generally reached at the hi...
Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic and complex autoimmune disease that can cause multi-organ damages. Patients with SLE often have higher risk for heart disease, poorly defined underlying mechanisms. We generated Cx3cr1-deficient MRL/lprlupus-prone mouse which exhibits distinct phenotype of exacerbated glomerulonephritis. Upon feeding high-fat diet, Cx3cr1−/−MRL/lprmice de...
Roquin is an RNA-binding protein that prevents autoimmunity and inflammation via repression of bound target mRNAs such as inducible costimulator (Icos). When Roquin is absent or mutated (Roquin(san)), Icos is overexpressed in T cells. Here we show that Roquin enhances Dicer-mediated processing of pre-miR-146a. Roquin also directly binds Argonaute2, a central component of the RNA-induced silenci...
MHC class II-expressing renal tubular epithelial cells (TEC) are able to present foreign peptide antigens to T cells. The costimulatory signals that are required for effective T cell activation upon antigen presentation by TEC have not been characterized. Various cultured TEC lines were examined for expression of the recently described costimulatory molecule B7RP-1 (B7h), a ligand of the T cell...
Long-term resistance to Toxoplasma gondii is dependent on the development of parasite-specific T cells that produce IFN-gamma. CD28 is a costimulatory molecule important for optimal activation of T cells, but CD28(-/-) mice are resistant to T. gondii, demonstrating that CD28-independent mechanisms regulate T cell responses during toxoplasmosis. The identification of the B7-related protein 1/ind...
PURPOSE T lymphocytes have a central role in allograft rejection. On engagement of the T cell receptor by antigenic peptide-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) complex, a second "costimulatory" signal is critical to full T-cell activation or downregulation. In this study, the effect on corneal allograft survival of modulation of the costimulatory molecules programmed death-1 (PD-1) and induc...
Evidence for unique association signals in SLE at the CD28-CTLA4-ICOS locus in a family-based study.
CD28, CTLA4 (cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4) and ICOS (inducible T cell co-stimulator) are good candidate genes for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) because of their role in regulating T cell activation. CTLA4 inhibits CD28-mediated T cell activation. CTLA4 is expressed on CD4+ and CD8+ activated T cells, and also B cells, but CD28 and ICOS are largely restricted to T cells. An i...
OBJECTIVES T-cells are considered to play an important role in the inflammatory response causing arthroplasty failure. The study objectives were to investigate the composition and distribution of CD4+ T-cell phenotypes in the peripheral blood (PB) and synovial fluid (SF) of patients undergoing revision surgery for failed metal-on-metal (MoM) and metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) hip arthroplasties, a...
Although there is evidence for distinct roles of myeloid dendritic cells (DCs [mDCs]) and plasmacytoid pre-DCs (pDCs) in regulating T cell-mediated adaptive immunity, the concept of functional DC subsets has been questioned because of the lack of a molecular mechanism to explain these differences. In this study, we provide direct evidence that maturing mDCs and pDCs express different sets of mo...
