Decreased B and T lymphocyte attenuator in Behcet’s disease may trigger abnormal Th17 and Th1 immune responses
Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic, systemic and recurrent inflammatory disease associated with hyperactive Th17 and Th1 immune responses. Recent studies have shown that B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) negatively regulates the immune response. In this study, we investigated whether BTLA activation could be exploited to inhibit the development of abnormal immune responses in BD patients. BT...
متن کاملB and T Lymphocyte Attenuator is a Target of miR-155 during Naive CD4+ T Cell Activation
Background: MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is upregulated during T cell activation, but the exact mechanisms by which it influences CD4+ T cell activation remain unclear. Objective: To examine whether the B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) is a target of miR-155 during naïve CD4+ T cell activation. Methods: Firefly luciferase reporter plasmids pEZX-MT01-wild-type-BTLA and pEZX-MT01-mutant-BTLA were ...
متن کاملB and T lymphocyte attenuator suppresses IL-21 production from follicular Th cells and subsequent humoral immune responses.
We recently showed that mice lacking B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA), a third inhibitory coreceptor expressed on B cells and T cells, exhibit an increased Ag-specific IgG response and gradually develop hyper-gamma-globulinemia and autoantibody production. Recent studies revealed that follicular Th (Tfh) cells, which are non-Th1, non-Th2 effector T cells that express CXCR5 and provide help ...
متن کاملTh17 and Th1 T-cell responses in giant cell arteritis.
BACKGROUND In giant cell arteritis (GCA), vasculitic damage of the aorta and its branches is combined with a syndrome of intense systemic inflammation. Therapeutically, glucocorticoids remain the gold standard because they promptly and effectively suppress acute manifestations; however, they fail to eradicate vessel wall infiltrates. The effects of glucocorticoids on the systemic and vascular c...
متن کاملB and T lymphocyte attenuator restricts the protective immune response against experimental malaria.
The immune response against the blood stage of malaria has to be tightly regulated to allow for vigorous antiplasmodial activity while restraining potentially lethal immunopathologic damage to the host like cerebral malaria. Coinhibitory cell surface receptors are important modulators of immune activation. B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) (CD272) is a coinhibitory receptor expressed by most...
