Cytokine regulation of immune tolerance
The immune system provides defenses against invading pathogens while maintaining immune tolerance to self-antigens. This immune homeostasis is harmonized by the direct interactions between immune cells and the cytokine environment in which immune cells develop and function. Herein, we discuss three non-redundant paradigms by which cytokines maintain or break immune tolerance. We firstly describ...
متن کاملMechanisms of Maternal Immune Tolerance During Pregnancy
Throughout their evolution, animals have developed mechanisms which protect them against parasites or infections by detecting and destroying foreign biological material within their own bodies. These mechanisms for excluding “non-self” biological materials whilst at the same time maintaining the integrity of the “self” have evolved for hundreds of millions of years into a highly complex body sy...
متن کاملPrednisone may induce immunologic tolerance by activating the functions of decidual immune cells in early pregnancy
The objective of this study was to investigate alterations in human first-trimester decidual immune cells (DICs) and relevant cytokines after treatment with prednisone. Decidual lymphocytes were treated with prednisone alone, cytokines alone or the combination of prednisone and cytokines. Levels of STAT3, STAT5, RORC and FOXP3 mRNA were assayed using quantitative real-time PCR, proportions of C...
متن کاملExosomes: Mediators of Immune Regulation
Extracellular Vesicles, including exosomes, are small membrane fragments released from many cell types, like Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). They were recognized as a mechanism of intercellular communication. They can transfer proteins, lipids and nucleic acids to other cells. Thus, they have many physiological (angiogenesis, coagulation and tissue repair, etc.) and pathological (e.g. in autoimm...
متن کاملmiRNA regulation of BK polyomavirus replication during early infection.
Viral microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role during infection by posttranscriptionally regulating both host and viral gene expression. However, the function of many viral miRNAs remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the role of the BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) miRNA in regulating virus replication. The function of the polyomavirus miRNA was investigated in archetype BKPyV, whi...
