A Validated Regulatory Network for Th17 Cell Specification
Th17 cells have critical roles in mucosal defense and are major contributors to inflammatory disease. Their differentiation requires the nuclear hormone receptor RORγt working with multiple other essential transcription factors (TFs). We have used an iterative systems approach, combining genome-wide TF occupancy, expression profiling of TF mutants, and expression time series to delineate the Th...
متن کاملA gene regulatory network armature for T lymphocyte specification.
Choice of a T lymphoid fate by hematopoietic progenitor cells depends on sustained Notch-Delta signaling combined with tightly regulated activities of multiple transcription factors. To dissect the regulatory network connections that mediate this process, we have used high-resolution analysis of regulatory gene expression trajectories from the beginning to the end of specification, tests of the...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulatory networks in Th17 cell differentiation.
Upon encountering antigen in the context of antigen presenting cells, naïve CD4(+) T cells undergo differentiation into effector T helper (Th) cells, which can secrete high levels of cytokines and other immunomodulators to mediate host defense and tissue inflammation. During the past three years, the immunology field has witnessed an explosion of research advances in the biology of Th17 cells, ...
متن کاملA validated gene regulatory network and GWAS identifies early regulators of T cell-associated diseases.
Early regulators of disease may increase understanding of disease mechanisms and serve as markers for presymptomatic diagnosis and treatment. However, early regulators are difficult to identify because patients generally present after they are symptomatic. We hypothesized that early regulators of T cell-associated diseases could be found by identifying upstream transcription factors (TFs) in T ...
متن کاملA Semantics for UML Specification to be validated with AGATHA
UML is a modelling language more and more used. However its semantics is not formally defined which arises some problems. These have to be solved when we want to connect some automatic tools as, for example, automatic test generator. Besides the emergence of component notion brings a new research area in the domain of incremental conception and validation. In a first part, we define a formal se...
