The role of TNFR2 and DR3 in the in vivo expansion of tregs in T cell depleting transplantation regimens

Rodriguez-Barbosa, Jose-Ignacio ; Schneider, Pascal ; Graca, Luis ; Bühler, Leo ; Perez-Simon, Jose-Antonio ; Rio, Maria-Luisa del

In: International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020, vol. 21, no. 9, p. 3347

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for the maintenance of tolerance to self and non-self through cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic mechanisms. Peripheral Tregs survival and clonal expansion largely depend on IL-2 and access to co-stimulatory signals such as CD28. Engagement of tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily members, in particular TNFR2 and DR3, contribute to promote...

Highly significant antiviral activity of HIV-1 LTR-specific tre-recombinase in humanized mice

Hauber, Ilona ; Hofmann-Sieber, Helga ; Chemnitz, Jan ; Dubrau, Danilo ; Chusainow, Janet ; Stucka, Rolf ; Hartjen, Philip ; Schambach, Axel ; Ziegler, Patrick ; Hackmann, Karl ; Schröck, Evelin ; Schumacher, Udo ; Lindner, Christoph ; Grundhoff, Adam ; Baum, Christopher ; Manz, Markus G. ; Buchholz, Frank ; Hauber, Joachim

Stable integration of HIV proviral DNA into host cell chromosomes, a hallmark and essential feature of the retroviral life cycle, establishes the infection permanently. Current antiretroviral combination drug therapy cannot cure HIV infection. However, expressing an engineered HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) site-specific recombinase (Tre), shown to excise integrated proviral DNA in vitro,...

Rag defects and thymic stroma : lessons from animal models

Marrella, Veronica ; Poliani, Pietro Luigi ; Notarangelo, Luigi Daniele ; Grassi, Fabio ; Villa, Anna

In: Frontiers in immunology, 2014, vol. 5, p. 259

Thymocytes and thymic epithelial cells (TECs) cross-talk is essential to support T cell development and preserve thymic architecture and maturation of TECs and Foxp3+ natural regulatory T cells. Accordingly, disruption of thymic lymphostromal cross-talk may have major implications on the thymic mechanisms that govern T cell tolerance. Several genetic defects have been described in humans that...

MicroRNAs in hematopoietic development

Montagner, Sara ; Dehó, Lorenzo ; Monticelli, Silvia

In: BMC immunology, 2014, vol. 15, p. 14

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs involved in the posttranscriptional regulation of a wide range of biological processes. By binding to complementary sequences on target messenger RNAs, they trigger translational repression and degradation of the target, eventually resulting in reduced protein output. MiRNA-dependent regulation of protein translation is a very widespread...
