Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are thought to be prevalent regulators of gene expression, but the consequences lncRNA inactivation in vivo mostly unknown. Here, we show that targeted deletion mouse Hotair leads derepression hundreds genes, resulting homeotic transformation spine and malformation metacarpal-carpal bones. RNA sequencing conditional reveal an ongoing requirement repress HoxD genes several imprinted loci such as Dlk1-Meg3 Igf2-H19 without affecting imprinting choice. binds both...

In an immune response, CD4+ T cells expand into effector and then contract to survive as long-lived memory cells. To identify age-associated defects in cell formation, we profiled activated found increased induction of the ATPase CD39 with age. CD39+ resembled signs metabolic stress high susceptibility undergo apoptosis. Pharmacological inhibition activity dampened differentiation improved survival, suggesting that influences fate. Individuals carrying a low-expressing variant responded...

Naive CD4+ T cells are more resistant to age-related loss than naive CD8+ cells, suggesting mechanisms that preferentially protect during aging. Here, we show TRIB2 is abundant in and counteracts quiescence exit by suppressing AKT activation. deficiency increases activity accelerates proliferation differentiation response interleukin-7 (IL-7) humans lymphopenia mice. transcription controlled the lineage-determining factors ThPOK RUNX3.

Abstract Significant progress in the application of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) for treatment multiple types cancers has been achieved, but its overall response rate and therapeutic efficacy remain unsatisfactory. To address these limitations, identification a combinational approach to enhance ICB is needed. The activation cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signaling critical induction antitumor innate responses promising target development immunotherapy....

Interleukin (IL)-17 plays a key role in immunity. In acute infections, rapid IL-17 response must be induced without prior antigen exposure, and γδ T cells are the major initial producers. fact, some make within hours after an immune challenge. These appear to acquire ability respond IL-1 IL-23 naturally naïve animals. They known as natural Tγδ17 (nTγδ17) cells. The rapidity of nTγδ17 response, apparent lack explicit cell receptor (TCR) engagement for its induction have led view that this is...

Memory T cells exhibit considerable diversity that determines their ability to be protective. Here, we examine whether changes in cell heterogeneity contribute the age-associated failure of immune memory. By screening for age-dependent cell-surface markers, identify CD4 and CD8 memory subsets are unrelated previously defined central effector cells. expressing ecto-5'-nucleotidase CD73 constitute a functionally distinct subset declines with age. They resemble long-lived, polyfunctional but...

Vaccination is a mainstay in preventive medicine, reducing morbidity and mortality from infection, largely by generating pathogen-specific neutralizing antibodies. However, standard immunization strategies are insufficient with increasing age due to immunological impediments, including defects T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. Here, we found that Tfh generation inversely linked the expression of ecto-NTPDase CD39 modifies purinergic signaling. The lineage-determining transcription factor BCL6...

ABSTRACT A city-wide cytomegalovirus serosurvey was conducted in Shanghai, China, and associated parameters were calculated by employing the catalytic model. The lowest seroprevalence 60.37%, found >1- to 3-year age group. value increased rapidly with until 25 years, when a of 97.03% found, caused high force infection (12.69) reproductive rate (8.89).

The ectonucleotidase CD39 functions as a checkpoint in purinergic signaling on effector T cells. By depleting eATP and initiating the generation of adenosine, it impairs memory cell development contributes to exhaustion, thereby causing defective tumor immunity deficient responses older adults who have increased expression. Tuning enzymatic activity targeting transcriptional regulation ENTPD1 can be used modulate signaling. Here, we describe that STAT6 phosphorylation downstream IL-4...
