CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Cells in Viral Infections

In Regulatory T Cells and Clinical Application (pp. 407–422).

By: W. Tompkins n, M. Tompkins n, A. Mexas & J. Fogle*

TL;DR: It is clear from the studies described herein that chronic viral infections are characterized by an early and sustained activation of immunosuppressiveCD4+CD25+ Treg cells capable of inhibiting anti-viral CD4+ and CD8+ immune responses, which allows for the establishment of long-term infection.

2008 journal article

CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells are infected and activated during acute FIV infection

VETERINARY IMMUNOLOGY AND IMMUNOPATHOLOGY, 126(3-4), 263–272.

author keywords: FIV; HIV; Regulatory T cells; Acute infection
MeSH headings : Animals; Cat Diseases / immunology; Cats; Feline Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome / immunology; Flow Cytometry / veterinary; Forkhead Transcription Factors / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation / immunology; Immunodeficiency Virus, Feline / genetics; Immunodeficiency Virus, Feline / immunology; Interleukin-2 / immunology; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction / veterinary; T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory / virology; Viremia / veterinary
TL;DR: The hypothesis that early activation of Treg immunosuppressor function may limit an effective anti-FIV response is supported, contributing to the establishment of chronic infection and the immunodeficiency caused by this virus. (via Semantic Scholar)

The medaka novel immune-type receptor (NITR) gene clusters reveal an extraordinary degree of divergence in variable domains

BMC EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, 8.

By: S. Desai n, A. Heffelfinger n, T. Orcutt n, G. Litman* & J. Yoder n

MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Animals; Conserved Sequence; Evolution, Molecular; Fish Proteins / genetics; Fish Proteins / immunology; Genetic Variation; Immunoglobulin Variable Region / genetics; Models, Genetic; Molecular Sequence Data; Multigene Family; Oryzias / genetics; Phylogeny; Protein Structure, Tertiary / genetics; Receptors, Immunologic / genetics; Species Specificity; Synteny; Zebrafish / genetics; Zebrafish / immunology
TL;DR: Comprehensive phylogenetic analyses between the complete datasets of NITRs from medaka and zebrafish indicate multiple species-specific expansions of different families of NITS, consistent with recent birth-and-death events. (via Semantic Scholar)

Modulation of pulmonary inflammatory responses and antimicrobial defenses in mice exposed to diesel exhaust

TOXICOLOGY AND APPLIED PHARMACOLOGY, 229(3), 310–319.

By: K. Gowdy n, Q. Krantz*, M. Daniels*, W. Linak*, I. Jaspers* & M. Gilmour*

author keywords: diesel exhaust; inflammation; lung; surfactant proteins; clara cell; mice
MeSH headings : Air Pollutants / toxicity; Animals; Cytokines / drug effects; Cytokines / metabolism; Female; Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 / drug effects; Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 / metabolism; Lung / drug effects; Lung / pathology; Mice; Mice, Inbred BALB C; Neutrophils / drug effects; Neutrophils / metabolism; Occupational Exposure / adverse effects; Pneumonia / chemically induced; Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein A / drug effects; Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein A / metabolism; Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein D / drug effects; Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein D / metabolism; Respiratory Tract Infections / etiology; Time Factors; Up-Regulation / drug effects; Uteroglobin / drug effects; Uteroglobin / metabolism; Vehicle Emissions / toxicity
TL;DR: Exposure to moderate and high occupational levels of DE caused an increase in lung injury and inflammation, and a decrease in host defense molecules, which could result in increased susceptibility to respiratory pathogens. (via Semantic Scholar)

Tonic protein kinase A activity maintains inactive beta 2 integrins in unstimulated neutrophils by reducing myosin light-chain phosphorylation: role of myosin light-chain kinase and Rho kinase

JOURNAL OF LEUKOCYTE BIOLOGY, 83(4), 964–971.

By: C. Chilcoat n, Y. Sharief n & S. Jones n

author keywords: PMN; PKA; ROCK; avidity; adhesion; cytoskeleton

In vivo depletion of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells in cats

JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGICAL METHODS, 329(1-2), 81–91.

author keywords: regulatory T cell; FOXP3; feline immunodeficiency virus; monoclonal antibody
MeSH headings : Animals; Antibodies, Monoclonal; Antibody Formation; CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes / drug effects; CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes / immunology; CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes / metabolism; CD8-Positive T-Lymphocytes / drug effects; CD8-Positive T-Lymphocytes / immunology; Cats; Cell Proliferation; Cells, Cultured; Forkhead Transcription Factors / genetics; Forkhead Transcription Factors / metabolism; Gene Products, gag / pharmacology; Immunoglobulin G / blood; Immunologic Memory; Interleukin-2 Receptor alpha Subunit / immunology; Interleukin-2 Receptor alpha Subunit / metabolism; Lymphocyte Activation; Lymphocyte Depletion / methods; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Recombinant Proteins / pharmacology; T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory / drug effects; T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory / immunology; T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory / metabolism; Time Factors
TL;DR: It is concluded that despite alterations in CD25+ cell levels during depletion, the feline immune system remains functional and a model for the study of disease pathogenesis in the context of reduced numbers of immunosuppressive CD4+CD25+ Tregs throughout the f cat system is demonstrated.
