TLDR
It is found that the production of TGF-β3 by developing Th17 cells was dependent on IL-23, which together with IL-6 induced very pathogenic TH17 cells, which had a molecular signature that defined pathogenic effector TH 17 cells in autoimmune disease.
Abstract
Interleukin 17 (IL-17)-producing helper T cells (T(H)17 cells) are often present at the sites of tissue inflammation in autoimmune diseases, which has led to the conclusion that T(H)17 cells are main drivers of autoimmune tissue injury. However, not all T(H)17 cells are pathogenic; in fact, T(H)17 cells generated with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and IL-6 produce IL-17 but do not readily induce autoimmune disease without further exposure to IL-23. Here we found that the production of TGF-β3 by developing T(H)17 cells was dependent on IL-23, which together with IL-6 induced very pathogenic T(H)17 cells. Moreover, TGF-β3-induced T(H)17 cells were functionally and molecularly distinct from TGF-β1-induced T(H)17 cells and had a molecular signature that defined pathogenic effector T(H)17 cells in autoimmune disease.

The intestinal microbiota modulates the anticancer immune effects of cyclophosphamide

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cyclophosphamide alters the composition of microbiota in the small intestine and induces the translocation of selected species of Gram-positive bacteria into secondary lymphoid organs, which suggests that the gut microbiota help shape the anticancer immune response.

The IL-23-IL-17 immune axis: from mechanisms to therapeutic testing

TL;DR: This Review focuses on the recent advances that have been made regarding the transcriptional control of TH 17 cell plasticity and stability, as well as the effector functions of TH17 cells, and highlights the mechanisms of IL-17 signalling in mesenchymal and barrier epithelial tissues.

Exploration, normalization, and summaries of high density oligonucleotide array probe level data

TL;DR: There is no obvious downside to using RMA and attaching a standard error (SE) to this quantity using a linear model which removes probe-specific affinities, and the exploratory data analyses of the probe level data motivate a new summary measure that is a robust multi-array average (RMA) of background-adjusted, normalized, and log-transformed PM values.

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.

Reciprocal developmental pathways for the generation of pathogenic effector TH17 and regulatory T cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that IL-6, an acute phase protein induced during inflammation, completely inhibits the generation of Foxp3+ Treg cells induced by TGF-β, and the data demonstrate a dichotomy in thegeneration of pathogenic (TH17) T cells that induce autoimmunity and regulatory (Foxp3+) T Cells that inhibit autoimmune tissue injury.

Adjusting batch effects in microarray expression data using empirical Bayes methods

TL;DR: This paper proposed parametric and non-parametric empirical Bayes frameworks for adjusting data for batch effects that is robust to outliers in small sample sizes and performs comparable to existing methods for large samples.

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.
