Abstract

Activation and proliferation of T cells require a reducing extracellular microenvironment in the immune synapse that is provided by antigen presenting cells, especially dendritic cells. Stimulation of dendritic cells by T cells activates the NF-kappaB pathway in dendritic cells and induces an antioxidant response. It also enhances system x(c)(-)-dependent cystine uptake, leading to enhanced glutathione synthesis, export, and, finally, degradation to cysteine outside the cell. Accumulation of extracellular cysteine supports glutathione synthesis in T cells while also leading to a more reducing redox potential that is needed for T cell proliferation. Naturally occurring regulatory T cells, a suppressor subpopulation of T cells, prevent autoimmune diseases and maintain peripheral tolerance by suppressing self-reactive effector T cells. They also suppress beneficial immune responses to parasites, viruses, and tumors. However, their mechanism of suppression is still not fully understood. Recently, we have found that inhibition by regulatory T cells of dendritic cell-induced extracellular redox remodeling is a component of the regulatory T cell suppression mechanism. In this review, we describe recent advances in our understanding of redox regulation and signaling in the adaptive immune system with a focus on T cell activation by dendritic cells. The role of regulatory T cells in perturbing redox remodeling by dendritic cells and its implications as a general regulatory T cell suppression mechanism are discussed.

  • ROS causes T cell cycle arrest, and T cell activation/proliferation requires a reducing extracellular microenvironment.

    “ROS causes T cell cycle arrest (Belikov et al., 2015; Yan and Banerjee, 2010) and T cell activation/proliferation requires a reducing extracellular microenvironment (Yan and Banerjee, 2010).”

    The Abstract and Concluding Remarks state that T-cell activation and proliferation require a reducing extracellular microenvironment. The “Redox Signaling During T cell Activation” section says sustained pro-oxidant conditions inhibit proliferation, but does not establish that ROS causes T-cell cycle arrest; it also says low levels of ROS can promote activation.

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.
