TGF-beta as a T cell regulator in colitis and colon cancer
2005
TGF-beta is a pleiotropic cytokine with powerful immunosuppressive functions. Mice deficient for TGF-beta1 show a dramatic phenotype with severe multiorgan inflammation and die shortly after birth. Recent investigations have highlighted the role of TGF-beta in suppression of T cell mediated autoimmune inflammation and anti-tumor immunity. In addition to its direct anti-inflammatory effects on T cells, TGF-beta has been implicated as central regulator of regulatory T cells. TGF-beta not only mediates the suppression of effector T cells by Tregs, recent evidence also reveals a role for TGF-beta along with TCR stimulation in the peripheral induction of regulatory T cells from naïve CD4+CD25- c…

In vitro generated human memory-like T cells are CD95 type II cells and resistant towards CD95-mediated apoptosis
2006
An adaptive immune response implies expansion of activated T cells and subsequent elimination to maintain homeostasis in a process called activation-induced cell death. Some cells, however, differentiate into memory cells and ensure a strong secondary immune response. To analyze the apoptosis phenotype of memory T cells on a cellular and molecular level, we have established an in vitro model of T cell activation and generation of cells phenotypically and functionally similar to memory cells. These long-term cultured T cells show a CD95-resistant phenotype, although they are still sensitive towards TCR/CD3-mediated apoptosis. Biochemical analysis revealed that these cells shift from CD95 typ…
How do dendritic cells prevent autoimmunity: what is a mature dendritic cell in the mouse?
2001
We appreciate the comment by Morel and Feili-Hariri with regard to our most-recent publication in Trends in Immunology 1xDendritic cells as a tool to induce anergic and regulatory T cells. Jonuleit, H. et al. Trends Immunol. 2001; 7: 394–400Abstract | Full Text | Full Text PDF | Scopus (384)See all References1. We certainly do not argue that other subtypes of dendritic cell (DC) might not be suitable for the induction of tolerance also, but certain experimental differences should be considered, particularly with regard to the maturational status of the murine DCs used by Feili-Hariri et al. 2xImmunotherapy of NOD mice with bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells.

Anti-Inflammatory Action of Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein A2/B1 in Patients with Autoimmune Endocrine Disorders
2019
Our previous studies documented that human fibroblast-limbal stem cells (f-LSCs) possess immunosuppressive capabilities, playing a role in regulating T-cell activity. This study highlights the molecular activities by which human f-LSCs can attenuate the inflammatory responses of self-reactive peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) collected from patients with autoimmune endocrine diseases (AEDs). Anti-CD3 activated PBMCs from twenty healthy donors and fifty-two patients with AEDs were cocultured on f-LSC monolayer. 2D-DIGE proteomic experiments, mass spectrometry sequencing and functional in vitro assays were assessed in cocultured PBMCs. We identified the downmodulation of several huma…
From interleukin-9 to T helper 9 cells
2012
Abstract Interleukin-9 (IL-9), cloned more than 20 years ago, was initially thought to be a Th2-specific cytokine. This assumption was initially confirmed by functional analyses showing that both IL-9 and Th2 cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma, IgE class switch recombination, and resolution of parasitic infections. However, recently it was shown that IL-9-producing CD4(+) T cells represent the discrete T helper subset Th9 cells. Herein, we will review the cytokines and transcription factors known to promote the development of Th9 cells and their potential functional properties in relation to the biological activities of IL-9. In addition, we will discuss how Th9 cell…
Constitutive and inducible protein/DNA interactions of the interferon-γ promoter inin vivo CD45RA and CD45RO T helper subsets
1997
Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is a key cytokine of T lymphocytes with major regulatory functions in the immune system. To determine and compare protein/DNA interactions at the native IFN-gamma locus in T cells, we analyzed the human IFN-gamma promoter by ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction (LM-PCR) techniques. Accordingly, Jurkat T cells and primary CD45RA and CD45R0 CD4+ T cell subsets isolated from peripheral blood using immunomagnetic beads were cultured and analyzed by LM-PCR. Constitutive and inducible protein/DNA interactions of the IFN-gamma promoter in vivo were detected in all T cells tested. Interestingly, an inducible footprint between -183 and -196 was consistently observ…
Cutting Edge: TGF-β Signaling Is Required for the In Vivo Expansion and Immunosuppressive Capacity of Regulatory CD4+CD25+ T Cells
2004
Abstract Data regarding the role of TGF-β for the in vivo function of regulatory CD4+CD25+ T cells (Treg) are controversial. A transgenic mouse model with impaired TGF-β signaling specifically in T cells was used to assess the role of endogenous TGF-β for the in vivo function of CD4+CD25+ Treg in a murine model of colitis induced by dextran sulfate. Transfer of wild-type, but not transgenic CD4+CD25+ Treg was found to suppress colitis in wild-type mice. In addition, by transferring CFSE-labeled CD4+CD25+ Treg we could demonstrate that endogenous TGF-β promotes the expansion of CD4+CD25+ Treg in vivo. Transgenic mice themselves developed reduced numbers of peripheral CD4+CD25+ Treg and were …
Hepatocellular expression of lymphocyte function—associated antigen 3 in chronic hepatitis
1991
T lymphocyte-mediated cytolytic immune reactions are considered a major cause of hepatocyte injury in chronic viral and autoimmune hepatitis. To further investigate local immune responses, we studied the expression of lymphocyte antigens and cell-cell interaction molecules known to be involved in effector-target cell interactions by light and electron microscopy in liver biopsy specimens from patients with chronic viral and autoimmune hepatitis. CD8+ lymphocytes were found to be the predominant population of cells in the inflammatory infiltrate in chronic hepatitis B and non-A, non-B hepatitis. In contrast, CD4+ cells constituted a comparably higher proportion of cells and were more numerou…
