Immune regulation through mitochondrion-dependent dendritic cell death induced by T regulatory cells.
Dendritic cells (DCs) harbor an active mitochondrion-dependent cell death pathway regulated by Bcl-2 family members and undergo rapid turnover in vivo. However, the functions for mitochondrion-dependent cell death of DCs in immune regulation remain to be elucidated. In this article, we show that DC-specific knockout of proapoptotic Bcl-2 family members, Bax and Bak, induced spontaneous T cell a...
متن کاملDeficiency of Bim in dendritic cells contributes to overactivation of lymphocytes and autoimmunity.
Apoptosis in dendritic cells (DCs) can potentially regulate DC homeostasis and immune responses. We have previously observed that inhibition of the Fas signaling pathway in DCs results in spontaneous T-cell activation and the development of systemic autoimmunity in transgenic mice. However, the role for different apoptosis pathways in DCs in regulating DC homeostasis and immune tolerance remain...
متن کاملOptimizing Dendritic Cell Preparation for Fusion with Melanoma Cells
Background: Fusion of dendritic cells (DCs) with melanoma cells could reinforce the antigenicity of tumors as a strategy for the treatment of malignant melanoma. However, the insufficient quantity of DCs and the low fusion efficiency limits the development of such approach. Objective: To define the dosage of the stimulating factors as well as the induction condition for the optimal DCs prepara...
متن کاملRegulation of Immune Responses by Spontaneous and T cell-mediated Dendritic Cell Death.
In response to antigen stimulations, cells in the immune system undergo dynamic activation, differentiation, expansion and turnover. Programmed cell death is important for maintaining homeostasis of different cell types in the immune system. Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous population of antigen presenting cells that capture, process and present antigens to stimulate lymphocytes. DCs h...
متن کاملDendritic Cells in Transplant Tolerance
Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous family of professional APCs involved in priming adaptive immune responses. Donor DCs (direct pathway of allorecognition) and recipient DCs presenting processed donor major histocompatibility complex (MHC) as peptides (indirect pathway of allorecognition) participate actively in graft rejection by stimulating recipient T cell responses following organ tr...
