T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

3.6K
When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs01:15

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs

3.0K
Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are mature endosomes that sort ubiquitinated proteins and then fuse with lysosomes to degrade the sorted proteins. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) form a complex that can be internalized through endocytosis, sorted into an MVB, and later degraded.
The EGFR can initiate signaling pathways that  lead to cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Overexpression of EGFR  stimulates cells to proliferate. Excessive  EGFR...

T Cell Activation and Clonal Selection01:22

T Cell Activation and Clonal Selection

17.9K
T cells are integral to our adaptive immune system, recognizing and effectively responding to foreign antigens. T cell activation and clonal selection are pivotal in orchestrating this immune response. This article elucidates these mechanisms, detailing the roles of cluster of differentiation (CD) markers, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, costimulatory signals, and the process of clonal selection.
Naive T cells that have not yet encountered an antigen express two primary CD...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

5.5K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway02:26

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway

10.9K
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.

TGF - β Signaling Pathway01:16

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

11.1K
The TGF-β signaling pathway regulates cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and development. TGF-β ligands that induce TGF-β signaling are synthesized in their latent form. Several proteases or cell surface receptors such as integrins act upon the latent form, releasing the active ligand. There are three types of mammalian TGF-βs: (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) that bind as homodimers or heterodimers to TGF-β receptors. The TGF-β receptors...

Summary

Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 2 (TNFR2) is crucial for generating myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC). Membrane-bound TNFR2 expression dictates the generation and function of these suppressive monocytic cells.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) and its receptor TNFR2 play roles in myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) generation.
  • Understanding the precise mechanism of TNFR2's influence on MDSC is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of TNFR2 in mediating TNF's effects on myeloid cells.
  • To determine if TNFR2 signaling is required for the development and function of monocytic MDSC.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of myeloid cells from TNFR2-deficient mice and wild-type mice.
  • Co-culture experiments of bone marrow cells from both mouse lines.
  • Adoptive transfer of TNFR2-deficient bone marrow cells into wild-type hosts.

Main Results:

  • TNFR2-deficient myeloid cells exhibited reduced production of nitric oxide (NO) and IL-6.
  • Immature monocytic MDSC (CD11b(+) CD11c(-) Ly6C(+) Ly6G(-)) were primarily affected.
  • TNFR2-deficient MDSC showed decreased suppressive activity on T cell proliferation.
  • Functional deficits were dependent on membrane-bound TNFR2 expression, not soluble factors.

Conclusions:

  • Membrane-bound TNFR2 expression is critical for the generation and functional capacity of monocytic MDSC.
  • TNFR2 signaling directly impacts MDSC development and suppressive functions.
