RAGE ligation affects T cell activation and controls T cell differentiation.
The pattern recognition receptor, RAGE, has been shown to be involved in adaptive immune responses but its role on the components of these responses is not well understood. We have studied the effects of a small molecule inhibitor of RAGE and the deletion of the receptor (RAGE-/- mice) on T cell responses involved in autoimmunity and allograft rejection. Syngeneic islet graft and islet allograf...
متن کاملNotch controls effector CD8+ T cell differentiation
CD8+ T cell recognition of foreign antigen induces the expansion of the few T cells bearing an appropriate T cell receptor and the acquisition of effector functions. These effector CD8+ T (Te) cells eliminate the pathogen by secretion of cytokines or by direct cytotoxicity. Following this initial clonal expansion, 90-95% of the Te cells die while the few others further differentiate into memory...
متن کاملThe Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE) Affects T Cell Differentiation in OVA Induced Asthma
The receptor for glycation end products (RAGE) has been previously implicated in shaping the adaptive immune response. RAGE is expressed in T cells after activation and constitutively in T cells from patients with diabetes. The effects of RAGE on adaptive immune responses are not clear: Previous reports show that RAGE blockade affects Th1 responses. To clarify the role of RAGE in adaptive immun...
متن کاملTransgelin-2 in B-Cells Controls T-Cell Activation by Stabilizing T Cell - B Cell Conjugates
The immunological synapse (IS), a dynamic and organized junction between T-cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs), is critical for initiating adaptive immunity. The actin cytoskeleton plays a major role in T-cell reorganization during IS formation, and we previously reported that transgelin-2, an actin-binding protein expressed in T-cells, stabilizes cortical F-actin, promoting T-cell activa...
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 ...
