Transcriptional control of regulatory T-cell differentiation.
Regulatory T (Treg) cells are essential for maintaining peripheral tolerance and for limiting excessive inflammatory responses under various conditions. The lineage-specific transcription factor Foxp3 has a critical role in Treg-cell biology. Foxp3 forms large protein complexes and cooperates with environmentally induced transcription factors to shape the Treg-cell transcriptional program. Here...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulatory networks in Th17 cell differentiation.
Upon encountering antigen in the context of antigen presenting cells, naïve CD4(+) T cells undergo differentiation into effector T helper (Th) cells, which can secrete high levels of cytokines and other immunomodulators to mediate host defense and tissue inflammation. During the past three years, the immunology field has witnessed an explosion of research advances in the biology of Th17 cells, ...
متن کاملTranscriptional control of t lymphocyte differentiation.
Initiation of gene transcription by transcription factors (TFs) is an important regulatory step in many developmental processes. The differentiation of T cell progenitors in the thymus is tightly controlled by signaling molecules, ultimately activating nuclear TFs that regulate the expression of T lineage-specific genes. During the last 2 years, significant progress has been made in our underst...
متن کاملRegulatory T-cell differentiation: Committed to control: a precocious choice?
The prevailing model of regulatory T (Treg) cell lineage commitment in the thymus entails that Treg cells differentiate from CD4+CD8+TCRab+double-positive (DP) precursors after T-cell receptor (TCR) engagement of major histocompatibility complex (MHC):peptide complexes. The discovery that Treg lineage commitment may occur at the earlier CD4 CD8 double-negative (DN) stage independently of cognat...
متن کاملTranscriptional control of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation.
SUMMARY In recent years, transcriptomics and proteomics have provided us with a great deal of information about the expression profiles of various cell types and how these change under different conditions. Stem cell research is one area where this has had a major impact by providing an insight into events at the molecular level that control stem cell growth and differentiation. This includes m...
