Abstract

RasGRP1 and Sos are two Ras-guanyl-nucleotide exchange factors that link TCR signal transduction to Ras and MAPK activation. Recent studies demonstrate positive selection of developing thymocytes is crucially dependent on RasGRP1, whereas negative selection of autoreactive thymocytes appears to be RasGRP1 independent. However, the role of RasGRP1 in T regulatory (Treg) cell development and function is unknown. In this study, we characterized the development and function of CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) and CD8(+)CD44(high)CD122(+) Treg lineages in RasGRP1(-/-) mice. Despite impaired CD4 Treg cell development in the thymus, the periphery of RasGRP1(-/-) mice contained significantly increased frequencies of CD4(+)Foxp3(+) Treg cells that possessed a more activated cell surface phenotype. Furthermore, on a per cell basis, CD4(+)Foxp3(+) Treg cells from mutant mice are more suppressive than their wild-type counterparts. Our data also suggest that the lymphopenic environment in the mutant mice plays a dominant role of favored peripheral development of CD4 Treg cells. These studies suggest that whereas RasGRP1 is crucial for the intrathymic development of CD4 Treg cells, it is not required for their peripheral expansion and function. By cont...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
