Regulatory T cell differentiation: cooperation saves the day.
MicroRNA are important regulators of CD4 T cell differentiation, altering the balance between the immunogenic and tolerogenic pathways. Studies in mice with microRNA-deficient T cells have revealed defects in differentiation into the regulatory T cell lineage; however, the individual microRNA responsible have remained elusive. A recent paper in The EMBO Journal uses a systematic screen to find ...
متن کاملTranscriptional control of regulatory T-cell differentiation.
Regulatory T (Treg) cells are essential for maintaining peripheral tolerance and for limiting excessive inflammatory responses under various conditions. The lineage-specific transcription factor Foxp3 has a critical role in Treg-cell biology. Foxp3 forms large protein complexes and cooperates with environmentally induced transcription factors to shape the Treg-cell transcriptional program. Here...
متن کاملFOXP3 Controls Regulatory T Cell Function through Cooperation with NFAT
Antigen stimulation of immune cells activates the transcription factor NFAT, a key regulator of T cell activation and anergy. NFAT forms cooperative complexes with the AP-1 family of transcription factors and regulates T cell activation-associated genes. Here we show that regulatory T cell (Treg) function is mediated by an analogous cooperative complex of NFAT with the forkhead transcription fa...
متن کاملStat3 Is Important for Follicular Regulatory T Cell Differentiation
The production of antibody is precisely controlled during the germinal center (GC) reaction. This process is dependent on the help from follicular T helper (Tfh) cells to germinal center (GC) B cells and is regulated by regulatory follicular T helper (Tfr) cells. How Tfr cells develop and how their suppressive activity functions are not well understood. Here, we found that Stat3 is indispensibl...
متن کاملmTOR Signaling in Regulatory T Cell Differentiation and Expansion
T Cell Receptor (TCR) engagement, co-stimulatory signals, and the presence of inflammatory cytokines. These signals are sensed by mTOR. Once activated, mTOR interacts with and influences T cell signaling pathways essential in regulating cell differentiation, proliferation, survival and metabolism. Multiple agonists (TCR engagement and co-stimulation, growths factors, and cytokines) regulate T c...
