Noncoding transcription controls downstream promoters to regulate Tcell receptor recombination
The T early a (TEA) promoter in the murine Tcra locus generates noncoding transcripts that extend across the 65kb Ja array. Here, we have analyzed the significance of TEA transcription for Tcra locus regulation through the targeted introduction of a transcription terminator downstream of the TEA promoter. We demonstrate that noncoding transcription driven by this single promoter can instruct bo...
متن کاملCannabidiol limits Tcell-mediated chronic autoimmune myocarditis: implications to autoimmune disorders and organ transplantation.
RATIONALE Myocarditis is a major cause of heart failure and sudden cardiac death in young adults and adolescents. Many cases of myocarditis are associated with autoimmune processes in which cardiac myosin is a major autoantigen. Conventional immunosuppressive therapies often provide unsatisfactory results and are associated with adverse toxicities during the treatment of autoimmune myocarditis....
متن کاملPromiscuous Presentation and Recognition of Nucleosomal Autoepitopes in Lupus: Role of Autoimmune TCell Receptor a Chain
T cells specific for nucleosomal autoepitopes are selectively expanded in lupus mice and these Th cells drive autoimmune B cells to produce pathogenic antinuclear antibodies. We transfected the TCRa and b chain genes of a representative, pathogenic autoantibody-inducing Th clone specific for the nucleosomal core histone peptide H4 71–94 into TCR-negative recipient cells. Although the autoimmune...

متن کاملAntagonistic effects of systemic interleukin 2 on immune Tcell-mediated graft-versus-leukemia reactivity.
This study demonstrates that systemic interleukin 2 (IL-2) can decrease the homing of syngeneic immune T cells to the target organ of metastases and accelerate unwanted side effects of allogeneic immune T cells. As a tumor system, we used the well-characterized highly aggressive DBA/2 mouse leukemia ESb and its less aggressive adhesion variant, ESb-MP. Systemic IL-2 treatment was performed with...
