Disease relevance of TNFRSF18

 

High impact information on TNFRSF18

  • Phenotypic and functional analyses demonstrated that they were antigen-specific CD4(+) Treg cells expressing CD25 and GITR molecules and possessing suppressive activity on the proliferative response of naive CD4(+) T cells to anti-CD3 antibody stimulation [6].
  • Stimulation of CD25(+)CD4(+) regulatory T cells through GITR breaks immunological self-tolerance [1].
  • This unique function of OX40L was not shared by two costimulatory TNF family members, GITR ligand and 4-1BB ligand [7].
  • The constitutive expression of a transfected GITR gene induced resistance to anti-CD3 mAb-induced apoptosis, whereas antisense GITR mRNA expression lead to increased sensitivity [8].
  • Thus, GITR is a new member of tumor necrosis factor/nerve growth factor receptor family involved in the regulation of T cell receptor-mediated cell death [8].

Associations of TNFRSF18 with chemical compounds

  • By comparing untreated and dexamethasone-treated murine T cell hybridoma (3DO) cells by the differential display technique, we have cloned a new gene, GITR (glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor family-related gene) encoding a new member of the tumor necrosis factor/nerve growth factor receptor family [8].
  • Tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family members such as glucocorticoid-induced TNFR (GITR) control T cell activation, differentiation, and effector functions [15].
  • Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of GITR-GITRL interaction reduces chronic lung injury induced by bleomycin instillation [16].
  • In contrast, in MH134 cells, PC61 induced partial tumor growth delay only when injected prior to tumor cell inoculation, and low-dose cyclophosphamide showed no effect, but GITR, particularly when administered in vitro, inhibited tumor growth [9].
 

Regulatory relationships of TNFRSF18

  • Direct contact between activated CD4(+) T and FLSs also induced the production of MMP-13, and neutralization of hGITR on activated CD4(+) T cells during coculture decreased the amount of MMP-13 produced by FLSs [17].
 

Other interactions of TNFRSF18

  • Here we report the identification of a new member, activation-inducible TNFR family member (AITR), which belongs to this subfamily, and its ligand [13].
  • OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that human glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (hGITR/TR11) expressed on the surface of activated CD4(+) T cells is responsible for up-regulating the production of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 by fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) [17].
  • GITR-induced activation of NF-kappaB is blocked by A20, an NF-kappaB-inducible protein that interacts with TRAFs and functions in a negative feedback mechanism downstream of other TNFRs [12].
  • TRAF4 functions as an intermediate of GITR-induced NF-kappaB activation [18].
  • In sum, our studies indicate that TRAF5 plays a crucial role in GITR-induced signaling pathways that augment T cell activation [15].
