Downregulation of Transcription Factor T-Bet as a Protective Strategy in Monosodium Urate-Induced Gouty Inflammation [PDF]
Gout is sterile joint inflammation triggered by the damaging effects of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals accumulation. Previous studies suggest transcription factor T-bet plays an important role in inflammatory arthritis.

Stable characteristics of intrapopulation heterogeneity in virus-specific Th1 cells during chronic viral challenge infection [PDF]
Virus-specific CD4+ T cells typically undergo T helper (Th) 1 differentiation and contribute to a type 1 immune response in infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV).

Identification of the T-box transcription factor t-bet in chickens and its role in immune response [PDF]
T-bet (T-box transcription factor TBX21), encoded by the Tbx21 gene, is a key regulator of T helper 1 (Th1) cell differentiation and cellular immunity. However, the role of T-bet in avian species remains elusive. To investigate the role of T-bet in avian

T-helper Cell Type-1 Transcription Factor T-Bet Is Down-regulated in Type 1 Diabetes
T cells have been identified as key players in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. However, the exact role of T-cell subpopulations in this pathway is presently unknown.

Transcription Factor T-bet Regulates Intraepithelial Lymphocyte Functional Maturation [PDF]
The intestinal epithelium harbors large populations of activated and memory lymphocytes, yet these cells do not cause tissue damage in the steady state. We investigated how intestinal T cell effector differentiation is regulated upon migration to the intestinal epithelium. Using gene loss- and gain-of-function strategies, as well as reporter approaches,

The immune cell transcription factor T-bet [PDF]
Obesity-associated insulin resistance is accompanied by an alteration in the Th1/Th2 balance in adipose tissue. T-bet (Tbx21) is an immune cell transcription factor originally described as the master regulator of Th1 cell development, although is now recognized to have a role in both the adaptive and innate immune systems.

A Novel Transcription Factor, T-bet, Directs Th1 Lineage Commitment [PDF]
Naive T helper cells differentiate into two subsets, Th1 and Th2, each with distinct functions and cytokine profiles. Here, we report the isolation of T-bet, a Th1-specific T box transcription factor that controls the expression of the hallmark Th1 cytokine, IFNgamma. T-bet expression correlates with IFNgamma expression in Th1 and NK cells.

T‐bet, a Th1 transcription factor regulates the expression of Tim‐3 [PDF]
AbstractT‐cell immunoglobulin, mucin domain‐3 (Tim‐3) is a membrane protein expressed at late stages of IFN‐γ secreting CD4+ Th1 cell differentiation and constitutively on DC. Ligation of Tim‐3 on Th1 cells terminates Th1 immune responses. In addition, Tim‐3 plays a role in tolerance induction, although the mechanism by which this is accomplished has ...

IL-21 Promotes CD8+ CTL Activity via the Transcription Factor T-bet [PDF]
Abstract CD8+ T cells are fundamental for immune-mediated clearance of viral infections and contribute to immune pathology in autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes. To execute these functions, CD8+ T cells must differentiate into CTLs, a process that is precisely regulated by a variety of cytokines, costimulatory molecules, and ...
