The development and in vivo function of T helper 9 cells
Open accessAbstract
The specialized cytokine secretion profiles of T helper (TH) cells are the basis for a focused and efficient immune response. On the twentieth anniversary of the first descriptions of the cytokine signals that promote the differentiation of interleukin-9 (IL-9)-secreting T cells, this Review focuses on the extracellular signals and the transcription factors that promote the development of what we now term TH9 cells, which are characterized by the production of this cytokine. We summarize our current understanding of the contribution of TH9 cells to both effective immunity and immunopathological disease, and we propose that TH9 cells could be targeted for the treatment of allergic and autoimmune disease.

In Th9 cells, IL-9 gene expression is regulated by TGFβ, IL-4, and IL-33 and transcription factors like PU.1, STAT6, GATA3, and IRF4.
“In these cells, IL-9 gene expression is regulated by the cytokines TGFβ, IL-4, and IL-33 and transcription factors like PU.1, STAT6, GATA3, and IRF4.19–22”
From PU.1-driven Th9 Cells Promote Colorectal Cancer in Experimental Colitis Models Through Il-6 Effects in Intestinal Epithelial Cells (2022) · cites this paper as [22]
The Regulation of TH9 cell development section describes TGFβ and IL-4 signalling and roles for PU.1, STAT6, GATA3 and IRF4 in TH9-cell development or IL-9 production. The copy does not establish IL-33 as a regulator of IL-9 gene expression in TH9 cells; IL-33 appears in the References as the subject of a study on IL-9 production in human CD4+ T cells and basophils.

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.
