Signální dráhy v T-lymfocytární imunitě

Janušová, Šárka

The immune system provides protection of the host against pathogens, and tumor cells while maintaining a tolerance to self-tissues. T cells are important players in orchestrating the immune response. Helper T cells navigate other cells in the course of the immune response, cytotoxic T cells directly kill infected or altered cells, and regulatory T cells suppress the overt activation of above mentioned. T cells are activated via their antigen-specific T-cell receptor (TCR), but for proper activation, they need additional signals from co-stimulatory or inhibitory receptors. This double-step activation is one of the regulatory steps to prevent aberrant T-cell activation. The main part of this thesis is focused on understanding of the signal propagation and regulation of the T-cell signaling. We used a tandem affinity purification followed by mass- spectrometry analysis to describe the composition of the receptor signaling complex of TNFR- SF members, GITR and OX40. We employed the same method to analyze the signalosome of IL-17R. One of the described components of all the receptors is ABIN1. We generated ABIN1 knock-out mice that exhibited signs of autoimmunity and its T cells were hyperresponsive to various stimulation in vitro and in vivo. We reported ABIN1 as a regulator ot T-cell signaling. In the...
