Cutting Edge: a thymocyte-thymic epithelial cell cross-talk dynamically regulates intrathymic IL-7 expression in vivoNuno L Alves
Cytokines and Lymphoid Development Unit, Institut Pasteur, Paris, France
J Immunol 184:5949-53. 2010..Although thymocyte-derived signals are often considered stimulatory for TEC maturation, our findings identify a negative feedback mechanism in which signals derived from TCRbeta-selected thymocytes modulate TEC-dependent IL-7 expression...
CpG inhibits pro-B cell expansion through a cathepsin B-dependent mechanismAna Inés Lalanne
Unité du Développement des Lymphocytes, Departement d Immunologie, Institut Pasteur, Paris, France
J Immunol 184:5678-85. 2010..Thus, TLR9 signals can regulate B lymphopoiesis in vivo...
A role for Blimp1 in the transcriptional network controlling natural killer cell maturationAxel Kallies
The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Parkville, Victoria, Australia
Blood 117:1869-79. 2011..We have identified NK cells as the first hematopoietic cell type in which the IRF4-Blimp1-Bcl6 regulatory axis is not in operation, highlighting the distinct nature of the NK-cell gene-regulatory network...
CD45 links the B cell receptor with cell survival and is required for the persistence of germinal centersNicholas D Huntington
The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Parkville, Victoria 3050, Australia
Nat Immunol 7:190-8. 2006..These results show mechanistic differences in B cell survival during germinal center initiation and propagation; CD40 signaling is sufficient for the former, whereas the latter requires signaling from the BCR...
ER stress triggers apoptosis by activating BH3-only protein BimHamsa Puthalakath
The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Melbourne, Australia
Cell 129:1337-49. 2007..These results define the molecular mechanisms of ER stress-induced apoptosis and identify targets for therapeutic intervention in ER stress-related diseases...
Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase activity in B cells is negatively regulated by Lyn tyrosine kinaseYuekang Xu
The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Parkville, Australia
Immunol Cell Biol 90:903-11. 2012..Regulating SFK activity may thus be a central mechanism by which Lyn regulates PI3K activity in B cells. This study defines the molecular connection between the BCR and PI3K and reveals this to be a point of Lyn-mediated regulation...
