Abstract Regulatory T cells (Tregs) maintain self‐tolerance and prevent autoimmunity by controlling autoreactive cells. We recently demonstrated in vivo that Tregs can directly suppress auto‐reactive B via programmed death ligand 1 ( PD ‐L1) ligated ‐1 on caused them to undergo apoptosis. Here, we asked whether this mechanism is utilized thymus‐derived natural and/or peripheral lymphoid tissue‐induced Tregs. first antigen‐specific ‐L1‐expressing were induced the draining lymph node of...
Chronic inflammasome activation in mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) promotes fibrosis various tissues, including the kidney. The cellular and molecular links between are unclear. To address this question, we fed mice lacking immunological mediators an adenine-enriched diet, which causes crystal precipitation renal tubules, crystal-induced activation, fibrosis. We found that kidney depended on intrarenal inflammasome-dependent type 3 immune response driven by its signature transcription factor...
