IL-2R signaling is essential for functional maturation of regulatory T cells during thymic development.
CD4(+) Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) are an independent cell lineage, and their developmental progression during thymic development depends on IL-2R signaling. However, the role of IL-2R signaling during thymic Treg development remains only partially understood. The current study assessed the contribution of IL-2 to the expansion and functional programming of developing Tregs. In the abse...
متن کاملDifferential requirement for IL-2 and IL-15 during bifurcated development of thymic regulatory T cells.
The developmental pathways of regulatory T cells (T(reg)) generation in the thymus are not fully understood. In this study, we reconstituted thymic development of Zap70-deficient thymocytes with a tetracycline-inducible Zap70 transgene to allow temporal dissection of T(reg) development. We find that T(reg) develop with distinctive kinetics, first appearing by day 4 among CD4 single-positive (SP...
متن کاملFunction of the IL-2R for thymic and peripheral CD4+CD25+ Foxp3+ T regulatory cells.
IL-2 contributes to the production, function, and homeostasis of CD4+CD25+ T(reg) cells. However, it remains uncertain whether IL-2 is essential for the development of T(reg) cells in the thymus, their homeostasis in the periphery, or both. The present study was undertaken to investigate the contribution of IL-2 during thymic T(reg) cell development and its maintenance in peripheral immune tiss...
متن کاملOsteoprotegerin-Mediated Homeostasis of Rank+ Thymic Epithelial Cells Does Not Limit Foxp3+ Regulatory T Cell Development
In the thymus, medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEC) regulate T cell tolerance via negative selection and Foxp3(+) regulatory T cell (Treg) development, and alterations in the mTEC compartment can lead to tolerance breakdown and autoimmunity. Both the receptor activator for NF-κB (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) axis and expression of the transcriptional regulator Aire are in...
متن کاملMiR-9-5p and miR-106a-5p dysregulated in CD4+ T-cells of multiple sclerosis patients and targeted essential factors of T helper17/regulatory T-cells differentiation
Objective(s): Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered as a chronic type of an inflammatory disease characterized by loss of myelin of CNS.Recent evidence indicates that Interleukin 17 (IL-17)-producing T helper cells (Th17 cells) population are increased and regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are decreased in MS. Despite extensive research in understanding the mechanism of Th17 and Treg differentiat...
