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

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D Antagonises the Suppressive Effect of Inflammatory Cytokines on CTLA-4 Expression and Regulatory Function.

TL;DR: It is shown that induction of CTLA-4 by 1,25(OH)2D3 can actually be enhanced in the presence of Th17 polarising cytokines, and the importance of vitamin D in inflammatory settings is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

1,25(OH)2D3 Promotes the Efficacy of CD28 Costimulation Blockade by Abatacept

TL;DR: Vitamin D3 supplementation may be a useful adjunct for the treatment of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis in combination with abatacept to promote the efficacy of treatment.
