B cells and humoral immunity in atherosclerosis.
Insights into the important contribution of inflammation and immune functions in the development and progression of atherosclerosis have greatly improved our understanding of this disease. Although the role of T cells has been extensively studied for decades, only recently has the role of B cells gained more attention. Recent studies have identified differential effects of different B-cell subs...
متن کاملAntigen-specific suppression of humoral immunity by anergic Ars/A1 B cells.
Autoreactive anergic B lymphocytes are considered to be dangerous because of their potential for activation and recruitment into autoimmune responses. However, they persist for days and constitute ∼5% of the B cell pool. We assessed their functional potential in the Ars/A1 transgene model, where anergic B cells express a dual-reactive Ag receptor that binds, in addition to a self-Ag, the hapten...
متن کاملSAP expression in T cells, not in B cells, is required for humoral immunity.
SAP (also named SH2D1A) is an intracellular adaptor molecule expressed in T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and some B cells. The SAP gene is mutated in X-linked lymphoproliferative (XLP) disease, a human immunodeficiency characterized by a faulty immune response to Epstein-Barr virus infection. Previous reports documented severe defects in antibody production and germinal center (GC) formati...
متن کاملInhibition of antitumor immunity by B cells.
In the August issue of Cancer Research , Inoue et al. reported a mechanism by which B cells inhibit the immune response against tumors. Their results support a model whereby B cell stimulation via CD40 leads to diminished CD8 and natural killer cell–mediated IFN-g secretion and thereby attenuates antitumor immunity (1). Their results are in line with findings previously published in 2005 in our...
متن کاملCalcitonin stimulates multiple stages of angiogenesis by directly acting on endothelial cells.
Although a strong correlation between neuroendocrine differentiation and angiogenesis of prostate cancer has been reported, no mechanistic link between the two events has been established. Because neuropeptide calcitonin is secreted by prostate tumors and endothelial cells are known to express calcitonin receptor-like receptor, we examined the potential action of calcitonin on endothelial cells...
