Activated and memory CD8+ T cells can be distinguished by their cytokine profiles and phenotypic markers.
Dissecting the mechanisms of T cell-mediated immunity requires the identification of functional characteristics and surface markers that distinguish between activated and memory T lymphocytes. In this study, we compared the rates of cytokine production by virus-specific primary and memory CD8+ T cells directly ex vivo. Ag-specific IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha production by both primary and long-term...
متن کاملLiver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells Link Hyperinsulinemia to Hepatic Insulin Resistance
Insulin signaling in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) is critical to maintain endothelial function but also to mediate insulin action on peripheral glucose disposal. However, gene knockout studies have reached disparate conclusions. Thus, insulin receptor inactivation in ECs does not impair insulin action, whereas inactivation of Irs2 does. Previously, we have shown that endothelial ablation of...
متن کاملEXPRESSION OF INDUCIBLE NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE GENE (iNOS) STIMULATED BY HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN HUMAN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expresses a calcium calmudolin-independent enzyme which can catalyse NO production from L-arginine. The induction of iNOS activity has been demonstrated in a wide variety of cell types under stimulation with cytokines and lipopoly saccharide (LPS). Previous studies indicated that all nitric oxide synthases (NOS) activated in human umbilical vein endot...
متن کاملActivation of porcine hepatic microvascular sinusoidal endothelial cells in pig-to-human liver xenotransplantation.
THE ROLE of the endothelium in mediating rejection in discordant xenotransplantation is currently being defined. The literature has focused on cardiac and renal models of xenotransplantation, and the aortic endothelial cell (AEC) has become the prototypical cell for in vitro studies. The assumption that all EC behave similarly has never been validated. A recent study demonstrated that although ...
متن کاملIsolation and Culture of Hepatic Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells
The hepatic sinusoids are lined by a unique population of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (HSEC), which is one of the first hepatic cell populations to come into contact with blood components. However, HSEC are not simply barrier cells that restrict the access of bloodborne compounds to the parenchyma. They are functionally specialised endothelial cells that have complex roles, including n...
