TIM4-TIM1 interaction modulates Th2 pattern inflammation through enhancing SIRT1 expression

چکیده
Skewed T helper 2 (Th2)‑cell polarization plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of allergic inflammations; however, the underlying mechanisms require further elucidation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanisms through which the interaction between T‑cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain (TIM)4 and TIM1 regulates the expression of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) in Th2 cells, and the role of SIRT1 in Th2‑cell polarization during nasal allergic inflammation. The results demonstrated that TIM4 expression by splenic dendritic cells was increased in mice with allergic rhinitis, and the TIM4̸TIM1 interaction promoted CD4+ T cells to express SIRT1 during allergic inflammation via enhancing phosphoinositide 3‑kinase/Akt phosphorylation. SIRT1 then facilitated CD4+ T‑cell proliferation through downregulating the expression of Fas ligand, caspase-3 and p53 in mice with nasal allergic inflammation. In conclusion, the interaction of TIM4̸TIM1 was found to promote Th2‑cell proliferation through enhancing SIRT1 expression in mice with nasal allergic rhinitis.

TIM1 is an endogenous ligand for LMIR5/CD300b: LMIR5 deficiency ameliorates mouse kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury
Leukocyte mono-immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptor 5 (LMIR5)/CD300b is a DAP12-coupled activating receptor predominantly expressed in myeloid cells. The ligands for LMIR have not been reported. We have identified T cell Ig mucin 1 (TIM1) as a possible ligand for LMIR5 by retrovirus-mediated expression cloning. TIM1 interacted only with LMIR5 among the LMIR family, whereas LMIR5 interacted with TI...

Lymphotoxin-alpha (LTalpha) was originally linked to delayed-type hypersensitivity and its production was later attributed to Th1, but not Th2 cells. Studies employing knockout mice demonstrated that LT signaling is essential for the development and functional compartmentalization of lymphoid tissues. Here, using gene expression profiling, we identified a novel gene termed SMUCKLER (spleen, muc...

متن کاملTIM-family Proteins Promote Infection of Multiple Enveloped Viruses through Virion-associated Phosphatidylserine
Human T-cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin-domain containing proteins (TIM1, 3, and 4) specifically bind phosphatidylserine (PS). TIM1 has been proposed to serve as a cellular receptor for hepatitis A virus and Ebola virus and as an entry factor for dengue virus. Here we show that TIM1 promotes infection of retroviruses and virus-like particles (VLPs) pseudotyped with a range of viral entry proteins...
متن کاملFunctional annotation of the T‐cell immunoglobulin mucin family in birds
T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin (TIM) family molecules are cell membrane proteins, preferentially expressed on various immune cells and implicated in recognition and clearance of apoptotic cells. Little is known of their function outside human and mouse, and nothing outside mammals. We identified only two TIM genes (chTIM) in the chicken genome, putative orthologues of mammalian TIM1 and TIM4, ...
