Protective roles of B and T lymphocyte attenuator in NKT cell-mediated experimental hepatitis.
Although B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) was originally identified as an inhibitory coreceptor selectively expressed on Th1 cells and B cells, recent studies have revealed that BTLA is expressed on a variety of cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, and NK cells, and modulates their functions. However, the role of BTLA in the regulation of NKT cell function remains unknown. In this...
متن کاملB and T Lymphocyte Attenuator is a Target of miR-155 during Naive CD4+ T Cell Activation
Background: MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is upregulated during T cell activation, but the exact mechanisms by which it influences CD4+ T cell activation remain unclear. Objective: To examine whether the B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) is a target of miR-155 during naïve CD4+ T cell activation. Methods: Firefly luciferase reporter plasmids pEZX-MT01-wild-type-BTLA and pEZX-MT01-mutant-BTLA were ...
متن کاملB and T lymphocyte attenuator restricts the protective immune response against experimental malaria.
The immune response against the blood stage of malaria has to be tightly regulated to allow for vigorous antiplasmodial activity while restraining potentially lethal immunopathologic damage to the host like cerebral malaria. Coinhibitory cell surface receptors are important modulators of immune activation. B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) (CD272) is a coinhibitory receptor expressed by most...
متن کاملB and T lymphocyte attenuator regulates B cell receptor signaling by targeting Syk and BLNK.
B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) functions as a negative regulator of T cell activation and proliferation. Although the role of BTLA in regulating T cell responses has been characterized, a thorough investigation into the precise molecular mechanisms involved in BTLA-mediated lymphocyte attenuation and, more specifically, its role in regulating B cell activation has not been presented. In t...
متن کاملLigation of B and T lymphocyte attenuator prevents the genesis of experimental cerebral malaria.
B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA; CD272) is a coinhibitory receptor that is predominantly expressed on T and B cells and dampens T cell activation. In this study, we analyzed the function of BTLA during infection with Plasmodium berghei ANKA. Infection of C57BL/6 mice with this strain leads to sequestration of leukocytes in brain capillaries that is associated with a pathology resembling cer...
