The aim of this Review is to summarize the current status of immune regulation by Notch, and to provide multiple avenues for therapeutic intervention in disease.
Abstract
Coordinated function of the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system in vertebrates is essential to promote protective immunity and to avoid immunopathology. The Notch signalling pathway, which was originally identified as a pleiotropic mediator of cell fate in invertebrates, has recently emerged as an important regulator of immune cell development and function. Notch was initially shown to be a key determinant of cell-lineage commitment in developing lymphocytes, but it is now known to control the homeostasis of several innate cell populations. Moreover, the roles of Notch in adaptive immunity have expanded to include the regulation of T cell differentiation and function. The aim of this Review is to summarize the current status of immune regulation by Notch. A better understanding of Notch function in both innate and adaptive immunity will hopefully provide multiple avenues for therapeutic intervention in disease.

From Stress to Inflammation and Major Depressive Disorder: A Social Signal Transduction Theory of Depression

TL;DR: A biologically plausible, multilevel theory is proposed that describes neural, physiologic, molecular, and genomic mechanisms that link experiences of social-environmental stress with internal biological processes that drive depression pathogenesis and may shed light on several important questions including how depression develops, why it frequently recurs, and why it is strongly predicted by early life stress.

The cellular and molecular origin of tumor-associated macrophages.

TL;DR: In mice, mammary tumor growth induces the accumulation of tumor-associated macrophage that are phenotypically and functionally distinct from mammary tissue macrophages, which reveal the ontogeny of TAMs and a discrete tumor-elicited inflammatory response, which may provide new opportunities for cancer immunotherapy.

Notch Signaling in Development, Tissue Homeostasis, and Disease

TL;DR: The current understanding of how Notch signaling can become derailed, either by direct mutations or by aberrant regulation, and the expanding spectrum of diseases and cancers that is a consequence of Notch dysregulation are discussed.

Debunking the Myth of Exercise-induced Immune Suppression: Redefining the Impact of Exercise on Immunological Health Across the Lifespan.

TL;DR: Evidence that frequent exercise enhances—rather than suppresses—immune competency is provided, and key findings from human vaccination studies which show heightened responses to bacterial and viral antigens following bouts of exercise are highlighted.

Notch Signaling in the Tumor Microenvironment.

TL;DR: How Notch signaling takes an important part in regulating the crosstalk between the different compartments of the TME is discussed and the consequences of the Notch-TME involvement from a therapeutic perspective are addressed.

Conversion of Peripheral CD4+CD25− Naive T Cells to CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Cells by TGF-β Induction of Transcription Factor Foxp3

TL;DR: Novel evidence is presented that conversion of naive peripheral CD4+CD25− T cells into anergic/suppressor cells that are CD25+, CD45RB−/low and intracellular CTLA-4+ can be achieved through costimulation with T cell receptors (TCRs) and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β).

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.

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.
