Disease relevance of Undecaphosphotungstate

 

High impact information on Undecaphosphotungstate

  • A novel transcription factor, T-bet, directs Th1 lineage commitment [6].
  • The copy number of this episome is stably maintained even when an excess of the limiting initiation factor T antigen is provided [7].
  • We have also localized the human gene for an unrelated polypeptide hormone, epidermal growth factor, to chromosome 4q, in the same region as another specialized growth factor, T-cell growth factor [8].
  • Lymphoid enhancer factor/T-cell factor (LEF/TCF) are transcription factors that mediate the Wnt signaling pathway, and have crucial roles during embryonic development in various organisms [9].
  • Central to control of the IFN-gamma gene is the transcription factor T-bet, whose induction is Stat-1 dependent [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Undecaphosphotungstate

 

Biological context of Undecaphosphotungstate

  • The transcription factor T-bet is a key determinant of IFN-gamma gene expression in helper T cells, but the mechanisms by which it achieves this effect are not clear [12].
  • Here, we report that the transcription factor T-bet, known to regulate Th cell differentiation, also controls the generation of the CD8+ cytotoxic effector cell [13].
  • By contrast, cis/TF asserts that B is a likely binding site of a transcription factor T if the expression pattern of T is correlated to the composite expression patterns of all genes containing B, even when those genes are not mutually correlated [14].
  • One such cytokine, IL-27, augments differentiation of naive T cells toward an IFN-gamma-producing phenotype by up-regulating the transcription factor T-bet and promoting expression of the IL-12Rbeta2 chain allowing T cells to respond to IL-12p70 [15].
  • The stoichiometry was calculated without the usual correction fro GTP hydrolysis obtained in the same system lacking elongation factor T or aminoacyl-tRNA [16].
 

Anatomical context of Undecaphosphotungstate

  • A limiting-dilution system is described that makes use of T cell growth factor T cell expansion and allows the determination of precursor frequencies for various regulatory and effector T cells in nonimmune, polyclonally, or specifically activated T cell populations [17].
  • 1. The purified IL-2 lacked detectable interferon (alpha and gamma), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, B cell growth factor, T cell-replacing factor, and thymocyte-differentiating activity and was free of any contaminating proteins as judged by silver staining in SDS-PAGE [18].
  • Transcription factor T-bet regulates inflammatory arthritis through its function in dendritic cells [19].
  • We have previously shown that NK cells expressing Ly-49A were reduced or almost absent in mice harboring a single or no functional allele of the transcription factor T cell factor-1 (TCF-1), respectively [20].
  • Although it is clear that the transcription factor T-bet plays an essential role in the differentiation of IFN-gamma-producing CD4(+) Th1 lymphocytes, the potential role of T-bet in the differentiation of Th17 cells is not completely understood [21].
 

Associations of Undecaphosphotungstate with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Undecaphosphotungstate

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Undecaphosphotungstate

  • Lymphoid enhancer factor/T-cell factor (LEF/TCF) high mobility group box transcription factors are the nuclear transducers of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling cascade [30].
  • By immunoprecipitation, the factor T was shown to be physically associated with DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex [31].
  • Specific immunosuppressive treatment will no doubt be part of future autoimmune disease therapy, but for the time being is no more than theoretically stimulating experimentation (anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibodies, specific T cell suppressor factor, T cell "vaccination") [32].
