Galectin-1 induces partial TCR zeta-chain phosphorylation and antagonizes processive TCR signal transduction.
Galectin-1 is an endogenous lectin with known T cell immunoregulatory activity, though the molecular basis by which galectin-1 influences Ag specific T cell responses has not been elucidated. Here, we characterize the ability of galectin-1 to modulate TCR signals and responses by T cells with well defined hierarchies of threshold requirements for signaling distinct functional responses. We demo...
متن کاملEvaluation of Specific Purified TCR Effect on the Immunoregulatory Potential of TGF-beta
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b) is a mediator released by nearly all cell types. It has suppression activity on the immune system, but exactly how this effect is carried out is not clear. Previous experiments showed that IgG interacts with or carriers active TGF-b, that could suppresses cytotoxic T-cell responses to an immunogenic tumor in mice. Since T cell receptor (TCR) has structura...
متن کاملCTLA-4 blockade of antigen-induced cell death.
While cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) negatively regulates T-cell receptor (TCR)-driven interleukin (IL)-2 production and proliferation, little is known regarding whether the coreceptor has the capacity to inhibit other events, such as Fas ligand (FasL) expression and antigen-induced cell death (AICD). In this study, it is shown that CTLA-4 expressed in a T-cell hybridoma can elicit a...
متن کاملSmad3 is essential for TGF-beta 1 to suppress IL-2 production and TCR-induced proliferation, but not IL-2-induced proliferation.
Transforming growth factor-beta1 is essential to maintain T cell homeostasis, as illustrated by multiorgan inflammation in mice deficient in TGF-beta1 signaling. Despite the physiological importance, the mechanisms that TGF-beta1 uses to regulate T cell expansion remain poorly understood. TGF-beta1 signals through transmembrane receptor serine/threonine kinases to activate multiple intracellula...
متن کاملMitogenic CD28 signals require the exchange factor Vav1 to enhance TCR signaling at the SLP-76-Vav-Itk signalosome.
Almost all physiological T cell responses require costimulation-engagement of the clonotypic TCR with MHC/Ag and CD28 by its ligands CD80/86. Whether CD28 provides signals that are qualitatively unique or quantitatively amplify TCR signaling is poorly understood. In this study, we use superagonistic CD28 Abs, which induce T cell proliferation without TCR coligation, to determine how CD28 contri...
