How steroids steer T cells

Open access
Libert, Claude, Dejager, Lien·2014·Cell Reports

Abstract

Recent papers from Mahata et al. and Bereshchenko et al. reveal how steroids steer immune responses by tipping T helper (Th) subset balances and activities. Pregnenolone produced by Th2 cells mediates immunosuppressive responses, and glucocorticoids stimulate regulatory T cell development via the induction of GILZ expression.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • CS promote M2 macrophage polarization, induce T regulatory cell recruitment and expansion, Th1 to Th2 phenotype skewing, and apoptosis in lymphocytes, thereby blunting a proliferative burst of CD8-positive T cells needed in cancer response to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade.

    “CS, the most widely used immunosuppressants, promote M2 macrophage polarization, 36 induce T regulatory cells recruitment and expansions, 37 Th1 to Th2 phenotype skewing, 38 and apoptosis in lymphocytes, 39 thereby blunting a proliferative burst of CD8-positive T cells needed in cancer response to PD-1/PD-L-1 blockade.40”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
