Trans-Endocytosis of CD80 and CD86: A Molecular Basis for the Cell-Extrinsic Function of CTLA-4

TL;DR: A mechanism of immune regulation in which CTLA-4 acts as an effector molecule to inhibit CD28 costimulation by the cell-extrinsic depletion of ligands is revealed, accounting for many of the known features of the CD28–CTLA- 4 system.
Journal ArticleDOI

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and IL-2 Combine to Inhibit T Cell Production of Inflammatory Cytokines and Promote Development of Regulatory T Cells Expressing CTLA-4 and FoxP3

TL;DR: The results suggest that 1,25(OH)2D3 and IL-2 have direct synergistic effects on activated T cells, acting as potent anti-inflammatory agents and physiologic inducers of adaptive regulatory T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Th17 plasticity and its relevance to inflammatory bowel disease

TL;DR: New data from mouse models of IBD suggest that T cell plasticity, particularly along the Th1-Th17 and Th17-Treg axes, plays an important role in the regulation of intestinal immune responses and patients with IBD demonstrate increased numbers of "transdifferentiated" T cell populations suggestive of heightened plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Availability of 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) to APCs controls the balance between regulatory and inflammatory T cell responses.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the presence of inactive 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3)-1α-hydroxylase (CYP27B1) is sufficient to alter T cell responses only when dendritic cells are present.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constitutive Clathrin-mediated Endocytosis of CTLA-4 Persists during T Cell Activation

TL;DR: The data support a model of trafficking whereby CTLA-4 is constitutively internalized in a ligand-independent manner undergoing both recycling and degradation, and emphasize the importance of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in regulating CTla-4 trafficking throughout T cell activation.
