Molecular aspects of T-cell differentiation.
Differentiated T helper 1 (Th1) and T helper 2 (Th2) T-cells show striking differences in their patterns of cytokine expression. This process is initiated by stimulation with antigen and the cytokines IL-12 and IL-4, respectively, and requires antigen-induced transcription factors such as NFAT and cytokine-induced transcription factors such as STAT4, induced by IL-12, and STAT6, induced by IL-4...
متن کاملTowards a molecular understanding of arthritis.
Several different agents including free radicals, oxidizing compounds and proteases are believed to play a role in the onset of arthritis. The evidence and underlying chemistry presently available for each destructive agent are presented.
متن کاملMolecular profiling of cytomegalovirus-induced human CD8+ T cell differentiation.
CD8+ T cells play a critical role in the immune response to viral pathogens. Persistent human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection results in a strong increase in the number of virus-specific, quiescent effector-type CD8+ T cells with constitutive cytolytic activity, but the molecular pathways involved in the induction and maintenance of these cells are unknown. We show here that HCMV infection ind...
متن کاملMolecular and Functional Profiling of Memory CD8 T Cell Differentiation
How and when memory T cells form during an immune response are long-standing questions. To better understand memory CD8 T cell development, a time course of gene expression and functional changes in antigen-specific T cells during viral infection was evaluated. The expression of many genes continued to change after viral clearance in accordance with changes in CD8 T cell functional properties. ...
متن کاملMolecular Understanding of Osteoclast Differentiation and Physiology
Two types of cells, osteoblasts and osteoclasts, maintain bone homeostasis by balancing each other’s function [1,2]. Osteoblasts, which build bone, are derived from a mesenchymal progenitor cell that can also differentiate into marrow stromal cells and adipocytes [3]. Osteoclasts, originating from hemopoietic progenitors of the monocyte/macrophage lineage, immigrate into bone via the blood stre...
