Journal ArticleDOI

YY1 inhibits differentiation and function of regulatory T cells by blocking Foxp3 expression and activity

TL;DR: It is shown that YY1 expression is lower in Treg cells than Tconv cells, and its overexpression causes a marked reduction of Foxp3 expression and abrogation of suppressive function of T Reg cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

ICOS Mediates the Development of Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus in Nonobese Diabetic Mice

TL;DR: It is concluded that ICOS is critically important for the induction of the autoimmune process that leads to diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-1 Receptor and Caspase-1 Are Required for the Th17 Response in Nitrogen Dioxide–Promoted Allergic Airway Disease

TL;DR: It is determined that IL-17A(+) cells were predominately CD4(+)T cell receptor (TCR)β(+) Th17 cells, and that a functional IL-1 receptor was required for Th17, but not Th2, cytokine production after in vitro antigen restimulation of lung cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Requirement for AHNAK1-mediated calcium signaling during T lymphocyte cytolysis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that desmoyokin (AHNAK1) is expressed in mature CTLs, but not in naive CD8+ T cells, and is critical for calcium entry required for their proper function during immune response, and an AHNAK 1-dependent mechanism controlling calcium entry during CTL effector function is demonstrated.
