Notch signaling regulates follicular helper T cell differentiation.
Follicular helper T (TFH) cells are specialized in providing help for B cell differentiation and Ab secretion. Several positive and negative regulators of TFH cell differentiation have been described but their control is not fully understood. In this study, we show that Notch signaling in T cells is a major player in the development and function of TFH cells. T cell-specific gene ablation of No...
متن کاملMonocyte-derived dendritic cells promote T follicular helper cell differentiation
To be effective, protein priming must induce the development of a distinct lineage of CD4(+) T cells named T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, which regulate the differentiation of high-affinity memory B cells and long-lived plasma cells. In this context, we tested how adjuvantation with CpG, the Toll-like receptor 9 agonist used in clinics, contributes to antigen-specific T-cell-dependent B-cell ...
متن کاملLEF-1 and TCF-1 orchestrate T follicular helper cell differentiation by regulating differentiation circuits upstream of Bcl6
T follicular helper (TFH) cells are specialized effector CD4+ T cells that help B cells develop germinal centers and memory. However, the transcription factors that regulate TFH differentiation remain incompletely understood. Here we report that selective loss of either Lef1 (LEF-1) or Tcf7 (TCF-1) resulted in TFH defects, while deletion of Lef1 and Tcf7 severely impaired TFH differentiation an...
متن کاملFollicular helper T cell signature in type 1 diabetes.
The strong genetic association between particular HLA alleles and type 1 diabetes (T1D) indicates a key role for CD4+ T cells in disease; however, the differentiation state of the responsible T cells is unclear. T cell differentiation originally was considered a dichotomy between Th1 and Th2 cells, with Th1 cells deemed culpable for autoimmune islet destruction. Now, multiple additional T cell ...
متن کاملCTLA-4 controls follicular helper T-cell differentiation by regulating the strength of CD28 engagement.
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is an essential regulator of T-cell responses, and its absence precipitates lethal T-cell hyperactivity. However, whether CTLA-4 acts simply to veto the activation of certain clones or plays a more nuanced role in shaping the quality of T-cell responses is not clear. Here we report that T cells in CTLA-4-deficient mice show spontaneous T-foll...
