T follicular helper cells, T follicular regulatory cells and autoimmunity.
CD4(+)T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are recognized as a distinct T-cell subset, which provides help for germinal center (GC) formation, B-cell development and affinity maturation, and immunoglobulin class switching, as an indispensable part of adaptive immunity. Tfh cell differentiation depends on various factors including cell-surface molecule interactions, extracellular cytokines and multip...

متن کامل
Sonic hedgehog is produced by follicular dendritic cells and protects germinal center B cells from apoptosis.
The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is involved in the development of many tissues during embryogenesis, but has also been described to function in adult self-renewing tissues. In the immune system, Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) regulates intrathymic T cell development and modulates the effector functions of peripheral CD4(+) T cells. In this study we investigate whether Shh signaling is involved in per...
متن کاملPPARγ Negatively Regulates T Cell Activation to Prevent Follicular Helper T Cells and Germinal Center Formation
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a transcription factor that regulates lipid and glucose metabolism. Although studies of PPARγ ligands have demonstrated its regulatory functions in inflammation and adaptive immunity, its intrinsic role in T cells and autoimmunity has yet to be fully elucidated. Here we used CD4-PPARγKO mice to investigate PPARγ-deficient T cells, whic...
متن کاملDynamic signaling by T follicular helper cells during germinal center B cell selection.
T follicular helper (T(FH)) cells select high-affinity, antibody-producing B cells for clonal expansion in germinal centers (GCs), but the nature of their interaction is not well defined. Using intravital imaging, we found that selection is mediated by large but transient contacts between T(FH) and GC B cells presenting the highest levels of cognate peptide bound to major histocompatibility com...
