The TNF receptor-ligands 4-1BB-4-1BBL and GITR-GITRL in NK cell responses

The TNF receptor-ligands 4-1BB-4-1BBL and GITR-GITRL in NK cell responses

Interactions between several tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-TNF receptor (TNFR) superfamily members that are expressed by T cells and natural killer (NK) cells and various other cell types modulate immune responses. This review summarizes the current understanding of how the TNF ligand-TNFR interactions 4-1BBL with 4-1BB, and GITRL with glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related (GITR) regulate NK cell m...

CD28 Reveals a Role for 4-1BBL in Skin Mice and of Mice Lacking Both 4-1BBL and Analysis of 4-1BB Ligand (4-1BBL)-Deficient

Cell Response to Influenza Virus Allograft Rejection and in the Cytotoxic T CD28 Reveals a Role for 4-1BBL in Skin Mice and of Mice Lacking Both 4-1BBL and Analysis of 4-1BB Ligand (4-1BBL)-Deficient

Blockade of 4-1BB and 4-1BBL Interaction Reduces Obesity-Induced Skeletal Muscle Inflammation

Obesity-induced skeletal muscle inflammation is characterized by increased macrophage infiltration and inflammatory cytokine production. In this study, we investigated whether 4-1BB, a member of the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF9) that provides inflammatory signals, participates in obesity-induced skeletal muscle inflammation. Expression of the 4-1BB gene, accompanied by increased levels of ...

Anti-Leukemia Activity of MS-275 Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor Implicates 4-1BBL/4-1BB Immunomodulatory Functions

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have demonstrated promising therapeutic potential in clinical trials for hematological malignancies. HDACi, such as SAHA/Vorinostat, Trichostatin A, and MS-275 were found to induce apoptosis of leukemic blasts through activation of the death receptor pathway and transcriptional induction of the Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-related pro-apoptotic family membe...
