Tumor-fighting T cells lose their way
Like a tourist without a map, tumor-fighting T cells have a hard time finding their destination without directions. According to Clark et al. (page 2221), dismantling these directions helps skin cancer cells hide from killer T cells. To enter the skin, T cells must grab on to the adhesive molecule E-selectin, which is expressed on the endothelial cells lining blood vessels in the skin. The auth...
متن کاملLoss of T-bet Sends Host-Microbe Mutualism Awry
Immune homeostasis in the intestine involves complex interactions between microbial organisms and host cells. In this issue, Garrett et al. (2007) describe a communicable form of colitis that is induced by deficiency of the transcription factor T-bet in cells of the innate immune system.
متن کاملmTOR and metabolic regulation of conventional and regulatory T cells.
mTOR signaling links bioenergetic and biosynthetic metabolism to immune responses. mTOR is activated by diverse upstream stimuli, including immune signals, growth factors, and nutrients. Recent studies highlight crucial roles of mTOR signaling in immune functions mediated by conventional T cells and Tregs In this review, we discuss the regulation of mTOR signaling in T cells and the functional ...
متن کاملBFA sends proteins back
O bserving a step backward brought Jon Yewdell a big step forward in understanding protein traffi cking pathways in the cell. As a newly minted assistant professor at the Wistar Institute, Yewdell was examining where in the cell the infl uenza A virus (IAV) hemagglutin (HA) trimerized. Using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specifi c for monomers or trimers, he had found by 1985 that monomers local...
متن کاملAll PI3Kinase signaling is not mTOR: dissecting mTOR-dependent and independent signaling pathways in T cells
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is emerging as playing a central role in regulating T cell activation, differentiation, and function. mTOR integrates diverse signals from the immune microenvironment to shape the outcome of T cell receptor (TCR) antigen recognition. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) enzymes are critical mediators of T cell activation through their generation of the...
