LRCH1 Deficiency Enhances LAT Signalosome Formation and CD8+ T Cell Responses against Tumors and Pathogens

Investigators demonstrated that LRCH1 directly bound linker for activation of T cells (LAT), reduced LAT phosphorylation and interaction with GRB2, and also promoted the endocytosis of LAT.

The Cytokine Receptor IL-7RĪ± Impairs IL-2 Receptor Signaling and Constrains the In Vitro Differentiation of Foxp3+ Treg Cells

Researchers report that IL-7RĪ± downregulation was necessary to maximize IL-2R signaling. While IL-7RĪ± overexpression promoted IL-7 signaling, unexpectedly, IL-2 signaling was suppressed in the same cells.

Neutrophil Caspase-11 Is Essential to Defend against a Cytosol-Invasive Bacterium

Although both caspase-1 and caspase-11 could cleave gasdermin D in macrophages and neutrophils, researchers found that NLRC4-activated caspase-1 triggered pyroptosis in macrophages, but this pathway did not trigger pyroptosis in neutrophils.

CD4 T Cell-Intrinsic Role for the T Helper 17 Signature Cytokine IL-17: Effector Resistance to Immune Suppression

The authors demonstrated that human CD4+ T cells exposed to a Th17-differentiating milieu were significantly more resistant to immune suppression by CD8+ T cells compared to control Th0 cells.

Pathogenic Autoimmunity in Atherosclerosis Evolves from Initially Protective ApoB-Reactive CD4+ T-Regulatory Cells

To interrogate the function of autoreactive CD4+ T cells in atherosclerosis, researchers used a novel tetramer of MHC-II to track T cells reactive to the mouse self-peptide ApoB978-993 on a single cell level.
