BTLA, a key regulator of Vγ9Vδ2 T-cell proliferation
Although in the last few years γδ T lymphocytes have been the subject of growing interest as potential anticancer immunotherapeutics, how the proliferative and effector responses of these cells are regulated remains unclear. We have recently reported that the co-receptor B and T lymphocyte associated (BTLA) inhibits the proliferation of human Vγ9Vδ2 T cells, potentially underpinning a mechanism...
متن کاملPrevention of Vγ9Vδ2 T Cell Activation by a Vγ9Vδ2 TCR Nanobody.
Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation plays an important role in antitumor and antimicrobial immune responses. However, there are conditions in which Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation can be considered inappropriate for the host. Patients treated with aminobisphosphonates for hypercalcemia or metastatic bone disease often present with a debilitating acute phase response as a result of Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation. To da...
متن کاملBad Can Act as a Key Regulator of T Cell Apoptosis and T Cell Development
Bad is a distant relative of Bcl-2 and acts to promote cell death. Here, we show that Bad expression levels are greatly increased in thymocytes during apoptosis. We generated bad transgenic mice to study the action of upregulated Bad expression on T cell apoptosis. The T cells from these mice are highly sensitive to apoptotic stimuli, including anti-CD95. The numbers of T cells are greatly depl...
متن کاملEcto-ATPase CD39 Inactivates Isoprenoid-Derived Vγ9Vδ2 T Cell Phosphoantigens.
In humans, Vγ9Vδ2 T cells respond to self and pathogen-associated, diphosphate-containing isoprenoids, also known as phosphoantigens (pAgs). However, activation and homeostasis of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that pAgs induced expression of the ecto-ATPase CD39, which, however, not only hydrolyzed ATP but also abrogated the γδ T cell receptor (TCR) agonistic acti...
متن کاملDLGH1 is a negative regulator of T-lymphocyte proliferation.
Discs large homolog 1 (DLGH1), a founding member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase family of proteins containing PostSynaptic Density-95/Discs large/Zona Occludens-1 domains, is an ortholog of the Drosophila tumor suppressor gene Discs large. In the mammalian embryo, DLGH1 is essential for normal urogenital morphogenesis and the development of skeletal and epithelial structures. Recen...
