background: there is accumulating evidence that a polyphenol present in olive oil, oleuropein, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects. this study aimed at determining the anti-apoptotic effect of oleuropein (ole) on dexamethasone-induced apoptosis of mouse thymocytes. method: mice were randomly divided to four groups as follow: dexamethasone (dex)-treated group (20 mg/kg;...
Recent study of human thymocyte-thymic epithelial (TE) cell interactions has demonstrated that thymocytes bind to TE cells, and a consequence of this binding is the provision of accessory cell signals by TE cells for phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced mature thymocyte activation. In this paper we report on studies of the molecules involved in TE cell-dependent mature thymocyte activation. TE-thym...
Collective pediatric data suggest that anti-T-cell induction therapy with polyclonal antibodies improves the outcome of both short- and long-term renal allograft survival. Polyclonal agents, including thymoglobulin (Thy), a rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin; Minnesota (horse) anti-lymphoblast globulin (ALG); and ATGAM, a horse anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), all suppress B and T cells. While no spe...
JNK signaling functions to induce defense mechanisms that protect organisms against acute oxidative and xenobiotic insults. Using Drosophila as a model system, we investigated the role of autophagy as such a JNK-regulated protective mechanism. We show that oxidative stress can induce autophagy in the intestinal epithelium by a mechanism that requires JNK signaling. Consistently, artificial acti...
In the conserved autophagy pathway, the double-membrane autophagosome (AP) engulfs cellular components to be delivered for degradation in the lysosome. While only sealed AP can productively fuse with the lysosome, the molecular mechanism of AP closure is currently unknown. Rab GTPases, which regulate all intracellular trafficking pathways in eukaryotes, also regulate autophagy. Rabs function in...
Thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group box factor (TOX) is a member of an evolutionarily conserved DNA-binding protein family and is expressed in several immune-relevant cell subsets. TOX encodes a nuclear protein of the high-mobility group box superfamily. It contains a DNA-binding domain, which allows it to regulate transcription by modifying local chromatin structure and modulati...
The thymus plays a critical role in the maturation and production of T lymphocytes and is a target of infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the related simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). Using the SIV/macaque model of AIDS, we examined the early effects of SIV on the thymus. We found that thymic infection by SIV resulted in increased apoptosis 7-14 d after infection, followed by...
Promoters play a central role in gene regulation, yet our power to discriminate them from non-promoter sequences in higher eukaryotes is mainly restricted to those associated with CpG islands. Here, we examined in silico the promoters of 30,954 human and 18,083 mouse transcripts in the DBTSS database, to assess the impact of particular sequence and structural features (propeller twist, bendabil...
Antigenic determinants of influenza virus hemagglutinin were expressed in Escherichia coli. DNA coding for presequences of hemagglutinin were removed and an ATG codon was placed before DNA coding for mature hemagglutinin. A number of expression plasmids were constructed in which various segments of this reconstructed hemagglutinin DNA were fused to DNA coding for bacterial beta-galactosidase. T...
Normal rat spleens contain suppressor cells which can inhibit proliferative and cytotoxic responses of lymphocytes to alloantigens ijz vitro. The suppressor cells are adherent, phagocytic, resistant to treatment with ATS and C, radioresistant, resistant to treatment with mitomycin C, apparently absent from the thymus, and found in very high concentrations in peritoneal exudates. These character...
