Regulation of T-cell migration by co-stimulatory molecules.

چکیده
Migration of primed T-cells to the antigenic site is an essential event in the development of effective immunity. This process is tightly regulated in order to ensure efficient and specific responses. Most studies have focused on non-specific mediators of T-cell migration, including integrins and chemokines. However, recent studies have highlighted the key role of the T-cell receptor and co-stimulatory molecules in guiding T-cell access to antigenic tissue. Here, we review the experimental evidence for an essential contribution of co-stimulation-mediated molecular interactions regulating T-cell migration in the development of T-cell immunity and tolerance.

T-cell activation: a multidimensional signaling network.
Naïve T cell activation requires the interactions of antigen receptors, adhesion molecules and co-stimulatory molecules. Antigen receptors and adhesion molecules are involved in spatio-temporal movement to form a stable immunological synapse. This stable junction interrupts T cell migration, and provides a platform for temporally regulated co-stimulatory receptor signaling spanning a period of ...

The immune system of mammalian organisms undergoes alterations that may account for an increased susceptibility to certain infections, autoimmune diseases, or malignancies. Well characterized are age related defect in T cell functions and cell mediated immunity. Although it is well established that the functional properties of T cells decrease with age, its biochemical and molecular nature is...

Two-pore domain potassium channels, like KCNK2, are known to play an important role in inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Upregulation of cellular adhesion molecules in mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (MBMECs) of Kcnk2-/- mice resulted in elevated leukocyte trafficking into the central nervous system under inflammatory conditions. The current project aims to gain...

T-cells play a central role in allergic airway diseases such as bronchial asthma. The imbalance between allergen-specific pro-inflammatory and pro-allergic T-cell responses on one hand and regulatory or suppressive T-cell responses on the other may best explain the development of unwanted immune responses against environmental allergens, which lead to immunoglobulin E production and airway infl...

T-lymphocyte trafficking is targeted to specific organs by selective molecular interactions depending on their differentiation and functional properties. Specific chemokine receptors have been associated with organ-specific trafficking of memory and effector T-cells, as well as the recirculation of naïve T-cells to secondary lymphoid organs. In addition to the acquisition of tissue-selective in...
