T Cell Mediated Suppression of Hematopoiesis in Myeloproliferative Neoplasm

The resurrection of T cell-mediated suppression.

JAK2V617F mRNA metabolism in myeloproliferative neoplasm cell lines

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a heterogeneous group of leukemias with defective regulation of myeloid stem cell proliferation. They include four distinct diseases: chronic myeloid leukemia, polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). In 2005, four independent studies have concurred to the identification in MPN patients of a specific mutation...

Colonic epithelial cell mediated suppression of CD4 T cell activation.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS As the first point of contact with enteric antigens, intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) may be key in regulating mucosal immune responses. We determined therefore if murine colonic epithelial cells (CEC) have tolerogenic or activating effects on CD4 T cells. METHODS Using a novel CEC, macrophages, and CD4 T cell coculture system, mitogen and antigen specific responses of na...

T cell regulation of hematopoiesis.

It has long been known that thymus-derived lymphocytes (T cells) can produce cytokines that have powerful effects on hematopoiesis. All major classes of T cells--CD4 T helper cells, CD4 regulatory T cells, CD8 T cells, gammadelta T cells and NKT cells--produce a number of cytokines and chemokines that can modulate hematopoiesis. More recent research has shown that specific T helper cell types, ...

p27KIP1 and PTEN cooperate in myeloproliferative neoplasm tumor suppression in mice

PTEN acts as a phosphatase for PIP3 and negatively regulates the PI3K/AKT pathway, and p27(KIP1) is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor that regulates the G1 to S-phase transition by binding to and regulating the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases. Genetic alterations of PTEN or CDKN1B (p27(KIP1)) are common in hematological malignancies. To better understand how mutations in these two genes ...
