MicroRNA-21, T helper lineage and autoimmunity
In response to appropriate stimuli in their microenvironment, naïve CD4 + T cells differentiate into one of several T helper cell lineages, such as Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg cells, as defined by their transcription factor expression, cytokine secretion, and effector functions. Although T helper subsets are known to be regulated by specific transcription factors and cytokines, the molecular basis...
متن کاملT 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 کاملIL-21 and T follicular helper cells.
Upon encounter with antigen, CD4(+) T cells differentiate into effector T(h) subsets with distinctive functions that are related to their unique cytokine profiles and anatomical locations. One of the most important T(h) functions is to provide signals to developing B cells that induce specific and appropriate antibody responses. The major CD4(+) T cell subset that helps B cells is the T follicu...
متن کاملICOS-dependent extrafollicular helper T cells elicit IgG production via IL-21 in systemic autoimmunity
The role of specialized follicular helper T (T(FH)) cells in the germinal center has become well recognized, but it is less clear how effector T cells govern the extrafollicular response, the dominant pathway of high-affinity, isotype-switched autoantibody production in the MRL/MpJ-Fas(lpr) (MRL(lpr)) mouse model of lupus. MRL(lpr) mice lacking the Icos gene have impaired extrafollicular differ...
متن کاملThe lineage decisions of helper T cells.
After encountering antigen, helper T (T(H)) cells undergo differentiation to effector cells, which can secrete high levels of interferon-gamma, interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-10 and other immunomodulators. How T(H) cells acquire, and remember, new patterns of gene expression is an area of intensive investigation. The process is remarkably plastic, with cytokines being key regulators. Extrinsic signal...
