Inhibition of Th1 Development Mediated by GATA-3 through an IL-4-Independent Mechanism

TLDR
GATA-3 expression and IL-12 signaling are mutually antagonistic, which facilitates rapid dominance of one pathway during early Th development, producing a stable divergence in cytokine profiles.

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

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

TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differentiation of Effector CD4 T Cell Populations

TL;DR: This review summarizes the discovery, functions, and relationships among Th cells; the cytokine and signaling requirements for their development; the networks of transcription factors involved in their differentiation; the epigenetic regulation of their key cytokines and transcription factors; and human diseases involving defective CD4 T cell differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-17 Family Cytokines and the Expanding Diversity of Effector T Cell Lineages

TL;DR: The factors that specify differentiation of a new effector T cell lineage-Th17-have now been identified, providing a new arm of adaptive immunity and presenting a unifying model that can explain many heretofore confusing aspects of immune regulation, immune pathogenesis, and host defense.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD4 T cells: fates, functions, and faults

TL;DR: Much of what is known about the 4 CD4 T-cell subsets is summarized, including the history of their discovery, their unique cytokine products and related functions, their distinctive expression of cell surface receptors and their characteristic transcription factors, the regulation of their fate determination, and the consequences of their abnormal activation.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Cloning of a new cytokine that induces IFN-gamma production by T cells.

TL;DR: The cloning of a recently identified IFN-γ-inducing factor (IGIF) that augments natural killer activity in spleen cells and may be involved in the development of Thl cells and also in mechanisms of tissue injury in inflammatory reactions is reported.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction by antigen of intrathymic apoptosis of CD4+CD8+TCRlo thymocytes in vivo

TL;DR: Results provide direct evidence for the in vivo role of apoptosis in the development of antigen-induced tolerance in mice transgenic for a T cell receptor that reacts to this peptide.
