Cutting Edge: T Cells Respond to Lipopolysaccharide Innately via TLR4 Signaling

LPS, a molecule produced by Gram-negative bacteria, is known to activate both innate immune cells such as macrophages and adaptive immune B cells via TLR4 signaling. Although TLR4 is also expressed on T cells, LPS was observed not to affect T cell...

The Loss of Telomerase Activity in Highly Differentiated CD8+CD28-CD27- T Cells Is Associated with Decreased Akt (Ser473) Phosphorylation

The enzyme telomerase is essential for maintaining the replicative capacity of memory T cells. Although CD28 costimulatory signals can up-regulate telomerase activity, human CD8(+) T cells lose CD28 expression after repeated activation. Nevertheless,...

Intracellular signaling required for CCL25-stimulated T cell adhesion mediated by the integrin alpha4beta1

The alpha4beta1 integrin is expressed on thymocytes and mediates cell attachment to its ligands CS-1/fibronectin (CS-1/FN) and VCAM-1 in the thymus. The chemokine CCL25 is highly expressed in the thymus, where it binds to its receptor CCR9 on...

Phosphorylation of pleckstrin increases proinflammatory cytokine secretion by mononuclear phagocytes in diabetes mellitus

The protein kinase C (PKC) family of intracellular enzymes plays a crucial role in signal transduction for a variety of cellular responses of mononuclear phagocytes including phagocytosis, oxidative burst, and secretion. Alterations in the activation...

CD4+ T Cells from Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Disease-Resistant Sooty Mangabeys Produce More IL-2 Than Cells from Disease-Susceptible Species: Involvement of p300 and CREB at the Proximal IL-2 Promoter in IL-2 Up-Regulation

IL-2 is an important cytokine required for the physiological function of CD4(+) T cells. Immunological unresponsiveness-anergy- of CD4(+) T cells is characterized by the inability of these cells to synthesize IL-2. Both progressive HIV infection...

PMA-Induced Differentiation of a Bone Marrow Progenitor Cell Line Activates HIV-1 LTR-Driven Transcription

Cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage play an important role in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-associated disease. Infected myeloid precursor cells of the bone marrow are thought to be a viral reservoir that may repopulate the...

LINE-1 retrotransposition in human embryonic stem cells

LINE-1 elements comprise approximately 17% of human DNA and their mobility continues to impact genome evolution. However, little is known about the types of non-transformed cells that can support LINE-1 retrotransposition. Here, we show that human...

High-pressure freezing provides insights into Weibel-Palade body biogenesis

The Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs) of endothelial cells play an important role in haemostasis and the initiation of inflammation, yet their biogenesis is poorly understood. Tubulation of their major content protein, von Willebrand factor (VWF), is...

The proline-Rich Akt substrate of 40 kDa (PRAS40) is a physiological substrate of mTOR complex 1

The proline-rich Akt substrate of 40 kilodaltons (PRAS40) was identified as a raptor-binding protein that is phosphorylated directly by mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) but not mTORC2 in vitro, predominantly at PRAS40...

Protein Kinase C Regulates Antigen Receptor-Induced Lytic Granule Polarization in Mouse CD8+ CTL

Lytic granule exocytosis is the major pathway used by CD8(+) CTL to kill virally infected and tumor cells. Despite the obvious importance of this pathway in adaptive T cell immunity, the molecular identity of enzymes involved in the regulation of...
