Recent Advances in T Cell Signaling in Aging
The immune system of mammalian organisms undergoes alterations that may account for an increased susceptibility to certain infections, autoimmune diseases, or malignancies. Well characterized are age related defect in T cell functions and cell mediated immunity. Although it is well established that the functional properties of T cells decrease with age, its biochemical and molecular nature is...
متن کاملThe T-cell-receptor signaling network.
T-cell-receptor (TCR) signaling in response to antigen recognition has a central role in the adaptive immune response. Furthermore, the comprehensive nature of the TCR signaling network is such that it has become a model system for complex cellular responses ranging from gene regulation to cytoskeletal remodeling. Over the past five years, our understanding of TCR signaling has evolved on a num...
متن کاملGlucocorticoids Attenuate T Cell Receptor Signaling
Glucocorticoids (GCs) affect peripheral immune responses by inhibiting T cell immunity at several stages of the activation cascade, causing impaired cytokine production and effector function. The recent demonstration that the thymic epithelium and possibly thymocytes themselves produce steroids suggests that endogenous GCs also play a role in the control of T cell development. As both periphera...
متن کاملCytoskeletal adaptivity regulates T cell receptor signaling.
The factors that govern T cell activation control the initiation and progression of adaptive immune responses. T cells recognize their cognate antigen on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) through the T cell receptor, which results in the formation of a contact region (immune synapse) between the two cells and the activation of the T cells. Activated T cells proliferate and differen...
