Conditional IL-2 Gene Deletion: Consequences for T Cell Proliferation
To explore the role of interleukin-2 (IL-2) in T cell proliferation, and to circumvent the IL-2 deficiency autoimmune syndrome of conventional il2 gene deletion, mice were created to allow conditional il2 gene deletion when treated with the estrogen analog, tamoxifen (TAM) as adults. Splenocytes from four different mouse strains, C57Bl/6 wild type (WT), conventional IL-2(-/-), TAM-treated Cre r...
متن کاملFunctional consequences of costimulation by ICAM-1 on IL-2 gene expression and T cell activation.
LFA-1 is a well-recognized adhesion molecule, but its role in providing costimulatory signals to T cells has remained controversial. We have compared the ability of class II-positive transfectants that do and do not coexpress ICAM-1 (ProAd and ProAd-ICAM) to activate Ag-specific Th1 clones and naive CD4-positive T cells isolated from TCR transgenic mice. Ag presentation by ProAd to Th1 clones c...
متن کاملHyaluronan synthesis is required for IL-2-mediated T cell proliferation.
Hyaluronan (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid subunits. Previous studies have suggested that CD44 expressed by T cells bind exogenous HA for their proliferation. However, HA endogenously synthesized by T cells may participate in their autocrine proliferation. In this study, we examined the role of endogenous HA in T cell proliferation using the highl...
متن کاملGene Deletion Reveals Unexpected Consequences
A fundamental objective of cardiovascular medicine is the early detection of structural changes within the heart and vasculature that would be harbingers of disease. For example, a much greater emphasis has been placed on identifying patients with underlying changes in left ventricular (LV) myocardial structure before the onset of occult LV dysfunction and symptomatic heart failure.1 These chan...
متن کاملIL-21 restricts T follicular regulatory T cell proliferation through Bcl-6 mediated inhibition of responsiveness to IL-2
T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells control the magnitude and specificity of the germinal centre reaction, but how regulation is contained to ensure generation of high-affinity antibody is unknown. Here we show that this balance is maintained by the reciprocal influence of interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-21. The number of IL-2-dependent FoxP3+ regulatory T cells is increased in the peripheral blood o...
