Controlling TGF-b signaling
The transforming growth factor b (TGF-b) family of hormonally active polypeptides have attracted much attention because of their ability to control cellular functions that underwrite animal embryo development and tissue homeostasis. TGF-b family members act by modifying the expression of specific sets of target genes, and biologists pursuing the elucidation of TGF-b signaling mechanisms have tu...
متن کاملLymphopoiesis: Transcription factors controlling B-cell development
Two structurally dissimilar transcriptional regulators, E2A and Pax-5, have been shown to play essential roles in B-cell development; the p50 subunit of NF kappa B, by contrast, is required for normal immune responses.
متن کاملBtk regulates B cell receptor-mediated antigen processing and presentation by controlling actin cytoskeleton dynamics in B cells.
The high efficiency of Ag processing and presentation by B cells requires Ag-induced BCR signaling and actin cytoskeleton reorganization, although the underlying mechanism for such requirements remains elusive. In this study, we identify Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) as a linker connecting BCR signaling to actin dynamics and the Ag transport pathway. Using xid mice and a Btk inhibitor, we show...
متن کاملControlling immune responses by targeting antigens to dendritic cell subsets and B cells.
Delivering antigens in vivo by coupling them to mAbs specific for unique receptors on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) is a promising approach for modulating immune responses. Antigen delivery to receptors found on myeloid dendritic cell (DC) subsets, plasmacytoid DCs and B cells has shown them all to be viable targets to stimulate either the cellular or humoral arms of the immune system. It is ...
متن کاملB-cell receptor triggers drug sensitivity of primary CLL cells by controlling glucosylation of ceramides.
Survival of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells is triggered by several stimuli, such as the B-cell receptor (BCR), CD40 ligand (CD40L), or interleukin-4 (IL-4). We identified that these stimuli regulate apoptosis resistance by modulating sphingolipid metabolism. Applying liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry, we revealed a significant decrease of proapopto...
