TGF-beta and regulatory T cell in immunity and autoimmunityYisong Y Wan
Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, School of Medicine, CB 7295, 450 West Drive, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, NC 27599 7295, USA
J Clin Immunol 28:647-59. 2008..In this paper, we will discuss the role of these mechanisms in the control of immunity and autoimmunity and the mechanisms that underlie how these molecules control these responses...
How diverse--CD4 effector T cells and their functionsYisong Y Wan
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 27599, USA
J Mol Cell Biol 1:20-36. 2009..We will discuss the classification and immunological functions of effector T cells, the determinants for effector T cell differentiation, as well as the relationship between different lineages of effector T cells...
Regulatory T cells: immune suppression and beyondYisong Y Wan
Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, School of Medicine, North Carolina, NC 27599 7295, USA
Cell Mol Immunol 7:204-10. 2010..This review will discuss our efforts as well as the efforts of others towards understanding the multifaceted function of Tregs in immune regulation...
Multi-tasking of helper T cellsYisong Y Wan
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, School of Medicine, Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, NC 27599 7295, USA
Immunology 130:166-71. 2010..Finally, we will discuss our current understanding of the underlying mechanisms on how a particular type of Th cells may convert into other types of Th cells...
An essential role of the transcription factor GATA-3 for the function of regulatory T cellsYunqi Wang
Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA
Immunity 35:337-48. 2011..Furthermore, the combined function of GATA-3 and Foxp3 was essential for Foxp3 expression. These findings provide insights into immune regulatory mechanisms and uncover a critical function of GATA-3 in Treg cells and immune tolerance...
Requirements of transcription factor Smad-dependent and -independent TGF-β signaling to control discrete T-cell functionsAi Di Gu
Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 109:905-10. 2012..Therefore, Smad-dependent and -independent TGF-β signaling discretely controls non-Treg and Treg function to modulate immune tolerance and immune homeostasis...
Dihydroartemisinin ameliorates inflammatory disease by its reciprocal effects on Th and regulatory T cell function via modulating the mammalian target of rapamycin pathwayYan G Zhao
Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA
J Immunol 189:4417-25. 2012..It addresses how DHA regulates immune function and suggests a new type of drug for treating diseases in which mTOR activity is to be tempered...
An intrinsic mechanism predisposes Foxp3-expressing regulatory T cells to Th2 conversion in vivoYunqi Wang
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA
J Immunol 185:5983-92. 2010..Thus, we have identified an intrinsic mechanism that imposes a Th2/Th1 imbalance and predisposes Foxp3-expressing cells to IL-4 production independent of STAT-6 signaling...
Memory/effector (CD45RB(lo)) CD4 T cells are controlled directly by IL-10 and cause IL-22-dependent intestinal pathologyMasahito Kamanaka
Department of Immunobiology, School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520, USA
J Exp Med 208:1027-40. 2011..Our results highlight characteristic differences between colitis induced by naive (CD45RB(hi)) and memory/effector (T(reg) cell-depleted CD45RB(lo)) cells and different ways that IL-22 impacts inflammatory bowel disease...
