Human Regulatory T Cell Suppressive Function Is Independent of Apoptosis Induction in Activated Effector T Cells
BACKGROUND CD4(+)CD25(+)FOXP3(+) Regulatory T cells (Treg) play a central role in the immune balance to prevent autoimmune disease. One outstanding question is how Tregs suppress effector immune responses in human. Experiments in mice demonstrated that Treg restrict effector T cell (Teff) responses by deprivation of the growth factor IL-2 through Treg consumption, resulting in apoptosis of Teff...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of VLA-1 and VLA-2. Cell surface heterodimers on activated T cells.
The very late antigen complexes VLA-1 and VLA-2 which appear on long-term activated human T cells have been characterized with respect to 1) subunit arrangement, 2) location of monoclonal antibody (MAb) binding sites, 3) carbohydrate content, and 4) protein homology. Cross-linking experiments showed that the VLA-1 complex is a heterodimer composed of an Mr 210,000 subunit (alpha 1) in acid-labi...
متن کاملInhibition of inducible nitric-oxide synthase protects human T cells from hypoxia-induced apoptosis.
Sodium cyanide-induced chemical hypoxia triggers a series of biochemical alterations leading to apoptosis in many cell types, including T cells. It is known that chemical hypoxia promotes inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) gene transcription by activating its transcription factors. To determine whether iNOS and NO production are responsible for chemical hypoxia-induced apoptosis, we exposed...
متن کاملLipocalin2 Protects Human Embryonic Kidney Cells against Cisplatin–Induced Genotoxicity
Cisplatin is one of the most useful chemotherapeutics which performs its cytotoxic effectvia accumulation of platinum resulting in oxidative stress, and destruction of cell DNA. Thiscould probably cause secondary cancers in healthy tissues. Lipocalin2 (Lcn2) is a protein whichits expression is increased in oxidative stresses. Therefore, the present study was performedto evaluate the protective ...
