Human B cells induce dendritic cell maturation and favour Th2 polarization by inducing OX-40 ligand.
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in immune homeostasis by regulating the functions of various immune cells, including T and B cells. Notably, DCs also undergo education on reciprocal signalling by these immune cells and environmental factors. Various reports demonstrated that B cells have profound regulatory functions, although only few reports have explored the regulation of human DC...
متن کاملEchinococcus granulosus antigen B impairs human dendritic cell differentiation and polarizes immature dendritic cell maturation towards a Th2 cell response.
Despite inducing a strong host cellular and humoral immune response, the helminth Echinococcus granulosus is a highly successful parasite that develops, progresses, and ultimately causes chronic disease. Although surgery remains the preferred therapeutic option, pharmacological research now envisages antihelminthic strategies. To understand the mechanisms that E. granulosus uses to escape host ...
متن کاملType 2 innate lymphoid cells drive CD4+ Th2 cell responses.
CD4(+) T cells have long been grouped into distinct helper subsets on the basis of their cytokine-secretion profile. In recent years, several subsets of innate lymphoid cell have been described as key producers of these same Th-associated cytokines. However, the functional relationship between Th cells and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) remains unclear. We show in this study that lineage-negative...
متن کاملSelective maturation of dendritic cells by Nippostrongylus brasiliensis-secreted proteins drives Th2 immune responses.
Helminth infections at mucosal and tissue sites strongly polarize towards Th2 immune responses, following pathways which have yet to be elucidated. We investigated whether dendritic cells (DC) exposed to gastrointestinal nematodes induce Th2 differentiation and, if so, whether this outcome reflects the absence of DC activation (the default hypothesis). We studied secreted proteins from the para...
متن کاملDifferent populations of CD11b+ dendritic cells drive Th2 responses in the small intestine and colon
T-helper 2 (Th2) cell responses defend against parasites. Although dendritic cells (DCs) are vital for the induction of T-cell responses, the DC subpopulations that induce Th2 cells in the intestine are unidentified. Here we show that intestinal Th2 responses against Trichuris muris worms and Schistosoma mansoni eggs do not develop in mice with IRF-4-deficient DCs (IRF-4f/f CD11c-cre). Adoptive...
