DR3 regulates negative selection during thymocyte development.
DR3 (Ws1, Apo3, LARD, TRAMP, TNFSFR12) is a member of the death domain-containing tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, members of which mediate a variety of developmental events including the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. We have investigated the in vivo role(s) of DR3 by generating mice congenitally deficient in the expression of the DR3 gene. ...
متن کاملNormal Thymocyte Negative Selection in TRAIL-deficient Mice
The molecular basis of thymocyte negative selection, which plays a critical role in establishing and maintaining immunological tolerance, is not yet resolved. In particular, the importance of the death receptor subgroup of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-family has been the subject of many investigations, with equivocal results. A recent report suggested that TRAIL was a critical factor in this...
متن کاملLKB1 regulates TCR-mediated PLCγ1 activation and thymocyte positive selection.
The serine/threonine kinase LKB1 is a tumour suppressor that regulates cell growth, polarity, and proliferation in many different cell types. We previously demonstrated that LKB1 controls thymocyte survival via regulation of AMPK activation. In this study, we show that LKB1 was also involved in thymocyte positive selection through regulation of T cell receptor (TCR) signalling. Both Lck-Cre- an...

متن کاملNegative thymocyte selection to HERV-K18 superantigens in humans.
An experimental system to explore central tolerance in humans is unavailable. However, the human endogenous retrovirus K-18 (HERV-K18) region on chromosome 1 provides an excellent model: HERV-K18 encodes a superantigen (SAg) stimulating Vbeta7CD4 T cells that is implicated in type 1 diabetes and Epstein-Barr virus persistence. In this study, we have addressed thymic HERV-K18 SAg expression, the...
