TH17 cells in development: an updated view of their molecular identity and genetic programming

Dong, Chen·2008·Nature reviews. Immunology

Abstract

Following activation, CD4+ T cells differentiate into different lineages of helper T (T(H)) cells that are characterized by distinct developmental regulation and biological functions. T(H)17 cells have recently been identified as a new lineage of effector T(H) cells, and they have been shown to be important in immune responses to infectious agents, as well as in various immune diseases. Over the past two to three years, there has been a rapid progress in our understanding of the differentiation programme of T(H)17 cells. Here, I summarize our current knowledge of the unique gene expression, cytokine-mediated regulation and transcriptional programming of T(H)17 cells, and provide my personal perspectives on the future studies that are required to elucidate this lineage in more detail.

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

  • TH17 and Treg cells share a common requirement for TGF-β in their differentiation despite expressing distinct transcriptional regulators (RORγt vs. Foxp3) and demonstrating opposing functions.

    “TH17 and Treg cells share a common requirement for TGF-p in their differentiation requirements despite expressing distinct transcriptional regulators (RORγt vs. Foxp3 respectively) and demonstrating opposing functions (inflammatory vs. anti-inflammatory)(Bettelli et al., 2006; Dong, 2008; Littman and Rudensky, 2010; Mangan et al., 2006; O'Quinn et al., 2008; Veldhoen et al., 2006).”

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.
