A novel transcription factor, T-bet, directs Th1 lineage commitment.

TLDR
T-bet initiates Th1 lineage development from naive Thp cells both by activating Th1 genetic programs and by repressing the opposing Th2 programs, as evidenced by the simultaneous induction of IFNgamma and repression of IL-4 and IL-5.

The orphan nuclear receptor RORgammat directs the differentiation program of proinflammatory IL-17+ T helper cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that the orphan nuclear receptor RORgammat is the key transcription factor that orchestrates the differentiation of this effector cell lineage of proinflammatory T helper cells and its potential as a therapeutic target in inflammatory diseases is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin 17–producing CD4 + effector T cells develop via a lineage distinct from the T helper type 1 and 2 lineages

TL;DR: Findings provide a basis for understanding how inhibition of IFN-γ signaling enhances development of pathogenic TH-17 effector cells that can exacerbate autoimmunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TGFβ in the context of an inflammatory cytokine milieu supports de novo differentiation of IL-17-Producing T cells

TL;DR: The data indicate that, in the presence of IL-6, TGFbeta1 subverts Th1 and Th2 differentiation for the generation ofIL-17-producing T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-12 and the regulation of innate resistance and adaptive immunity

TL;DR: The understanding of the relative roles of IL-12 and other factors in TH1-type maturation of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells is discussed here, including the participation in this process ofIL-23 and IL-27, two recently discovered members of the new family of heterodimeric cytokines.

Master Transcription Factors and Mediator Establish Super-Enhancers at Key Cell Identity Genes

TL;DR: In this article, the ESC master transcription factors form unusual enhancer domains at most genes that control the pluripotent state, called super-enhancers, which consist of clusters of enhancers that are densely occupied by the master regulators and Mediator.

TH1 and TH2 cells: different patterns of lymphokine secretion lead to different functional properties.

TL;DR: Two types of cloned helper T cells are described, defined primarily by differences in the pattern of lymphokines ynthesized, and the different functions of the two types of cells and their lymphokine synthesis are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional diversity of helper T lymphocytes.

TL;DR: The existence of subsets of CD4+ helper T lymphocytes that differ in their cytokine secretion patterns and effector functions provides a framework for understanding the heterogeneity of normal and pathological immune responses.

Development of TH1 CD4+ T cells through IL-12 produced by Listeria-induced macrophages

TL;DR: This regulatory pathway may have evolved to enable innate immune cells, through interactions with microbial pathogens, to direct development of specific immunity toward the appropriate TH1 phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Transcription Factor GATA-3 Is Necessary and Sufficient for Th2 Cytokine Gene Expression in CD4 T Cells

TL;DR: In transgenic mice, elevated GATA-3 in CD4 T cells caused Th2 cytokine gene expression in developing Th1 cells, indicating that Gata-3 is necessary and sufficient for Th2inflammatory gene expression.

IL-10 acts on the antigen-presenting cell to inhibit cytokine production by Th1 cells.

TL;DR: IL-10 may inhibit macrophage accessory cell function which is independent of TCR-class II MHC interactions, as well as inhibits IL-2-induced IFN-gamma production by Th1 cells in an Ag-free system requiring only the presence of accessory cells.
