OX40-OX40L Interaction Promotes Proliferation and Activation of Lymphocytes via NFATc1 in ApoE-Deficient Mice
BACKGROUND Our previous studies have shown that OX40-OX40L interaction regulates the expression of nuclear factor of activated T cells c1(NFATc1) in ApoE(-/-) mice during atherogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether OX40-OX40L interaction promotes Th cell activation via NFATc1 in ApoE(-/-) mice. METHODS AND RESULTS The lymphocytes isolated from spleen of ApoE (-/-) mice wer...
متن کاملOX40:OX40L Axis: Emerging Targets for Immunotherapy of Human Disease
Recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms through which T cells are activated have led to new therapeutic approaches in the treatment of immunological disorders. An emerging target for selective immune intervention has been the manipulation of T cell costimulatory pathways. Impressive results in animal models have shown that the tumor-necrosis-factor receptor (TNFR) family member, ...
متن کاملInterruption of the Tnfrsf4/Tnfsf4 (OX40/OX40L) pathway attenuates atherogenesis in low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice.
OBJECTIVE Atherosclerosis is a chronic (auto-)inflammatory disease and T cell activation is an important factor in this process. Tnfrsf4 (OX40) and Tnfsf4 (OX40 ligand) are members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and TNF receptor family and OX40/OX40L mediated signaling is important in co-activation of T cells and facilitates B-T cell interaction. In this study we assessed the role of the OX...
متن کاملOX40-OX40L interactions: a promising therapeutic target for allergic diseases?
Recent advances in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of atopy have shed light on potential targets for the development of new therapies for allergic diseases. In this issue of the JCI, Seshasayee et al. provide direct in vivo evidence that OX40 has critical roles in allergic inflammation mediated by thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) (see the related article beginning on page...
متن کاملOX40/OX40L axis: not a friend in autoimmunity
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by a loss of tolerance toward nuclear components, and multiple organs such as kidney, brain, vessels or skin are affected. SLE presents a waxing and waning course, rendering its outcome hardly predictable. A better understanding of human SLE pathogenesis is direly needed because only few effective treatments are av...
