T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

1.5K
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...

TGF - β Signaling Pathway01:16

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

7.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Microbiome-host interactions
  • Immunology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • RORγT inhibitors are used to treat inflammatory conditions.
  • The gut bacterium Eggerthella lenta produces an enzyme called cardiac glycoside reductase 2 (cgr2).
  • The role of cgr2 in host immune responses and inflammatory diseases is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the function of cgr2 in the context of colitis.
  • To determine how cgr2 influences the host immune system and inflammatory responses.

Main Methods:

  • In vitro enzymatic assays to study cgr2 activity.
  • Murine models of colitis to assess the in vivo effects of cgr2.
  • Analysis of immune cell populations, particularly Th17 cells.

Main Results:

  • cgr2 metabolizes RORγT inhibitors, reducing their efficacy.
  • Increased Th17 cell responses and heightened inflammation were observed in the presence of cgr2.
  • Dietary supplementation with arginine effectively neutralized the effect of cgr2, mitigating inflammation.

Conclusions:

  • The bacterial enzyme cgr2 plays a significant role in modulating host immune responses during colitis.
  • cgr2-mediated metabolism of RORγT inhibitors can exacerbate inflammation.
  • Arginine-rich diets represent a potential dietary intervention to counteract the pro-inflammatory effects of cgr2.
