Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a member of the IL-6 cytokine family, is highly expressed throughout the body in multiple tissues and cell types. LIF is primarily known to induce the differentiation of myeloid leukemia cells, but recent studies show ...

Background and Aim: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease. It seems that the function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) is compromised in RA. Foxp3 is a critical transcription factor of these cells.

Off-Target Deletion of Conditional Dbc1 Allele in the Foxp3YFP-Cre Mouse Line under Specific Setting
The Cre-LoxP conditional knockout strategy has been used extensively to study gene function in a specific cell-type. In this study, the authors tried to engineer mice in which the Dbc1 gene is conditionally knocked out in Treg cells.

FOXP3 is a transcription factor necessary and sufficient for induction of the immunosuppressive functions in regulatory T lymphocytes. Its expression was first considered as specific of this cell type, but FOXP3 can also be transiently expressed in T-cell antigen receptor-activated human nonregulatory T cells.

Promiscuous Foxp3‐cre activity reveals a differential requirement for CD28 in Foxp3+ and Foxp3− T cells [PDF]
Costimulatory signals by CD28 are critical for thymic regulatory T‐cell (Treg) development. To determine the functional relevance of CD28 for peripheral Treg post thymic selection, we crossed the widely used Forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3)‐CreYFP mice to mice bearing a conditional Cd28 allele.

Forkhead box P3 (FOXP3)-specific cytotoxic CD8+ T cells are present among human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), especially in cancer patients. Such T lymphocytes are able not only to specifically recognize dendritic cells (DCs) that have been exposed to recombinant FOXP3 and regulatory T cells, but also to kill FOXP3+ malignant T cells. The

Impact of breast milk miR-155 on the health of preterm neonates
Background. Breast milk (BM) is an important source of microRNAs (miRs). MicroRNAs are highly resistant to gastrointestinal enzymes and are well absorbed in the intestine. MiR-155 is one of the most expressed miR of BM.

FOXP3 and FOXP3-regulated microRNAs suppress SATB1 in breast cancer cells [PDF]
The transcription factor FOXP3 has been identified as a tumour suppressor in the breast and prostate epithelia, but little is known about its specific mechanism of action. We have identified a feed-forward regulatory loop in which FOXP3 suppresses the expression of the oncogene SATB1. In particular, we demonstrate that SATB1 is not only a direct target
