CD8 T cell-derived perforin aggravates secondary spinal cord injury through destroying the blood-spinal cord barrier.

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications - BBRC, 2019
Perforin plays an important role in autoimmune and infectious diseases, but its function in immune inflammatory responses after spinal cord injury (SCI) has received insufficient attention. The goal of this study is to determine the influence of perforin

Perforin: structure and function

Immunology Today, 1995
Perforin is a cytolytic mediator produced by killer lymphocytes, and is stored in and released by cytoplasmic granules. The protein is partially homologous to the terminal components of the membrane attack complex of complement and produces pores of up to 20 nm in diameter on target membranes.

Perforin and Lymphocyte‐mediated Cytolysis

Immunological Reviews, 1995
We have discussed in the previous sections the recent progress made toward elucidating the regulatory mechanism of perforin gene transcription and the domain structure of the perforin molecule. It appears that the expression of perforin is, at least partially, controlled at the transcription level through the interaction between killer cell-specific ...

Perforin and Human Diseases

2014
Natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) use a highly toxic pore-forming protein perforin (PFN) to destroy cells infected with intracellular pathogens and cells with pre-cancerous transformations. However, mutations of PFN and defects in its expression can cause an abnormal function of the immune system and difficulties in ...

Structure and function of human perforin

Nature, 1988
Perforin (P1) is a cytolytic protein with similarity to complement component C9. P1 has been described as a unique component of murine cytolytic T-cell and rat natural killer cell granules Previous studies indicated that human granules and P1 differed from murine granules and P1 in that they appeared to be cytolytically less active and lacked the ...

Human T regulatory cells can use the perforin pathway to cause autologous target cell death.

Immunity, 2004
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells use the perforin/granzyme pathway to kill virally infected cells and tumor cells. Mutations in genes important for this pathway are associated with several human diseases.
