Inflammed skin harbours Th9 cells.
Various effector CD4 + T-lymphocyte subsets have been characterized, such as T-helper (Th)1, Th2, regulatory CD4 + T cells (Treg), Th17, and Th22, which show distinct patterns of cytokine release. Specifically, the cytokine interleukin (IL)-9 has been regarded largely as an exclusive Th2 cytokine. However, a new subset of the Th population, named " Th9 " , which is separate from Th2, producing ...
متن کاملTh9 cells: differentiation and disease.
CD4(+) T-helper cells regulate immunity and inflammation through the acquisition of potential to secrete specific cytokines. The acquisition of cytokine-secreting potential, in a process termed T-helper cell differentiation, is a response to multiple environmental signals including the cytokine milieu. The most recently defined subset of T-helper cells are termed Th9 and are identified by the ...
متن کاملTh9 cells induce steroid-resistant bronchial hyperresponsiveness in mice.
BACKGROUND Reduced responsiveness to corticosteroid therapy is a major problem for patients with severe asthma. Although Th9 cells, along with Th2 cells, facilitate antigen-induced airway eosinophilia and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR), the sensitivity of Th9 cell-mediated responses to steroid therapy remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of dexamethasone (Dex) on anti...
متن کاملUtilizing TH9 cells as a novel therapeutic strategy for malignancies
TH9 cells join the ever-growing list of CD4+ T helper subsets and primarily mediate anti-parasite immune responses. We have recently demonstrated that tumor-specific TH9 cells induce a CCL20-CCR6-dependent regulation of DCs while stimulating CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor immunity. These findings offer a novel immunotherapeutic strategy against cancer.
متن کاملDectin-1-activated dendritic cells trigger potent antitumour immunity through the induction of Th9 cells
Dectin-1 signalling in dendritic cells (DCs) has an important role in triggering protective antifungal Th17 responses. However, whether dectin-1 directs DCs to prime antitumour Th9 cells remains unclear. Here, we show that DCs activated by dectin-1 agonists potently promote naive CD4(+) T cells to differentiate into Th9 cells. Abrogation of dectin-1 in DCs completely abolishes their Th9-polariz...
