T-bet is rapidly induced by interferon-γ in lymphoid and myeloid cells
Open accessAbstract
Differentiation of naive CD4 + T cells into IFN-γ-producing T helper 1 (T H 1) cells is pivotal for protective immune responses against intracellular pathogens. T-bet, a recently discovered member of the T-box transcription factor family, has been reported to play a critical role in this process, promoting IFN-γ production. Although terminal T H 1 differentiation occurs over days, we now show that challenge of mice with a prototypical T H 1-inducing stimulus, Toxoplasma gondii soluble extract, rapidly induced IFN-γ and T-bet; T-bet induction was substantially lower in IFN-γ-deficient mice. Naive T cells expressed little T-bet, but this transcription factor was induced markedly by the combination of IFN-γ and cognate antigen. Human myeloid antigen-presenting cells showed T-bet induction after IFN-γ stimulation alone, and this induction was antagonized by IL-4 and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Although T-bet was induced rapidly and directly by IFN-γ, it was not induced by IFN-α, lipopolysaccharide, or IL-1, indicating that this action of IFN-γ was specific. Moreover, T-bet induction was dependent on Stat1 but not Stat4. These data argue for a model in which IFN-γ gene regulation involves an autocrine loop, whereby the cytokine regulates a transcription factor that promotes its own production. These findings substantially alter the current view of T-bet in IFN-γ regulation and promotion of cell-mediated immune responses.

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.
