Involvement of twisted gastrulation in T cell-independent plasma cell production.

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is increasingly implicated in immune cell differentiation and function; however, direct in vivo evidence for such a role is still missing. In this article, we report that Twisted gastrulation (TWSG1), an extracellular regulator of BMP signaling, is expressed in activated B cells and regulates T-independent B cell responses in the mouse. Twsg1-deficient...

Fas involvement in Ca(2+)-independent T cell-mediated cytotoxicity

Mechanisms of T cell-mediated cytotoxicity remain poorly defined at the molecular level. To investigate some of these mechanisms, we used as target cells, on the one hand, thymocytes from lpr and gld mouse mutants, and on the other hand, L1210 cells transfected or not with the apoptosis-inducing Fas molecule. These independent mutant or transfectant-based approaches both led to the conclusion t...

involvement of microrna in t-cell differentiation and malignancy.

micrornas are 19-22 nucleotide rnas involved in such important processes as development, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. different mirnas are uniquely expressed in lymphoid t cells, and play a role indevelopment and differentiation of various subtypes by targeting their target genes. recent studies have shown that aberrant mirna expression may be involved in t cell leukemogenesis ...

Differential involvement of the transcription factor Blimp-1 in T cell-independent and -dependent B cell differentiation to plasma cells.

Along humoral immune responses, different stimuli drive the differentiation of B lymphocytes to Ig-secreting plasma cells in discrete microenvironments. The Blimp-1 transcription factor is up-regulated early during the transition of mature B cells to IgM-secreting plasma cells. In the present study, we have examined the requirement of Blimp-1 in plasma cell formation after both T cell-independe...

cutaneous involvement in plasma cell myeloma: report of a case

abstract: plasma cellmyeloma constitutes about 10% of all  hematologicmalignancies. metastatic cutaneous lesions without underlying bony involvement are rare and associated with advanced disease, poor prognosis and high tumor burden. igg is the most common subtype and igd is believed to have a more aggressive course.######
