Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is reported here that the ligand of PD-1 (PD-L1), an immunoinhibitory receptor expressed by activated T cells, B cells, and myeloid cells, is a member of the B7 gene family.
Journal ArticleDOI
CD4+CD25+ Immunoregulatory T Cells: Gene Expression Analysis Reveals a Functional Role for the Glucocorticoid-Induced TNF Receptor
Rebecca S. McHugh,Matthew J. Whitters,Ciriaco A. Piccirillo,Deborah A. Young,Ethan M. Shevach,Mary Collins,Michael C. Byrne +6 more
TL;DR: A number of genes that antagonize signaling, including members of the SOCS family, may contribute to their anergic phenotype and GITR abrogated suppression, demonstrating a functional role for this receptor in regulating the CD4(+)CD25(+) T cell subset.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptional mechanisms underlying lymphocyte tolerance.
Fernando Macian,Francisco García-Cózar,Sin-Hyeog Im,Heidi F. Horton,Michael C. Byrne,Anjana Rao +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the Ca2+-regulated transcription factor NFAT has an integral role in both aspects of lymphocyte function and in the absence of AP-1, NFAT imposes a genetic program of lymphocytes anergy that counters the program of productive activation mediated by the cooperative NFAT:AP-1 complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Lipopeptides Induce the Production of IL-17 in Th Cells
TL;DR: Cytometric single-cell analysis of Th cell cytokine production revealed that IL-17 cannot be categorized as either Th1 or Th2 cytokine, and almost allIL-17-producing Th cells simultaneously produced TNF-α and most IL- 17+ Th cells also produced GM-CSF, also observed in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
An essential role in liver development for transcription factor XBP-1

TL;DR: XBP-1 is a CREB/ATF family transcription factor highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinomas that is essential for liver growth and specific target genes of XBP- 1 in the liver were identified as alphaFP, which may be a regulator of hepatocyte growth, and three acute phase protein family members.
