Dendritic cells matured in the presence of TLR ligands overcome the immunosuppressive functions of regulatory T cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Toll like receptor (TLR)-stimulated dendritic cells (DCs) are able to overcome the inhibitory activity of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and induce the proliferation of effector T cells. TLR-activated DCs secrete a soluble factor and act directly on Tregs to convert them into interferon γ-secreting TH1-like cells that express the transcription factor T-bet.

Listeria Monocytogenes Activated Dendritic Cell Based Vaccine for Prevention of Experimental Tumor in Mice
Background: The use of dendritic cells (DCs) as a cellular adjuvant provides a promis-ing approach in immunotherapy of cancer. It has been demonstrated that Listeria mono-cytogenes activated DCs pulsed ex vivo with tumor antigens trigger a systemic Th1-biased specific immune response and a single dose of this vaccine will cause a consider-able anti tumor immunity. Objective: The present study w...
متن کاملHuman Leukocyte Antigen-G Expression on Dendritic Cells Induced by Transforming Growth Factor-β1 and CD4+ T Cells Proliferation
Background: During antigen capture and processing, mature dendritic cells (DC) express large amounts of peptide-MHC complexes and accessory molecules on their surface. DC are antigen-presenting cells that have an important role in tolerance and autoimmunity. The transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) cytokine has a regulatory role on the immune and non-immune cells. The aim of this study is ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) induce pathogen-specific T cell responses. We comprehensively studied the effects of addition of maturation stimulus, fibroblasts (fibroblast conditioned medium), PHA activated T cells (T cell conditioned medium), and mixture of fibroblast & PHA activated T cells (FCM-TCCM) conditioned media on maturation of DCs. Monocytes were cultured with GM-CSF and IL-4 for five days. ...

Background & Aims: Dendritic cells are the most potent antigen presenting cells in induction or polarization of T-dependent immune responses. In cancerous patients, suppressive or detoured immune responses regard to tumor cells, prevent appropriate functions of dendritic cells. Nowadays, in vitro production, expansion and maturation of dendritic cells in presence of safe maturation factors whi...
متن کاملThe Efficacy of Toll-Like Receptors in Awakening Dendritic Cell/Natural Killer Cell System for Eradication of Tumors
Natural killer (NK) cells are effector cells of the innate immune system that exert direct cytotoxic functions. Ubiquitously-expressed toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been recognized as one of the major components promoting dendritic cell (DC) maturation, which may induce polarized immune responses beneficial to cancer immunotherapy. TLR-activated NK cells and DCs are prerequisite for robust ac...
