Disease relevance of Tnfsf4

 

High impact information on Tnfsf4

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Tnfsf4

  • To test whether OX40/OX40L interaction plays a role in chronic intestinal inflammation, we induced chronic colitis using dextran sulfate sodium and treated the mice with a murine fusion protein (OX40-IgG) [10].
  • A mouse cytomegalovirus glycoprotein, gp34, forms a complex with folded class I MHC molecules in the ER which is not retained but is transported to the cell surface [11].
 

Biological context of Tnfsf4

  • Ath-1 maps on chromosome 1 near Alp-2, a gene that determines the structure of apolipoprotein A-II, one of the two major proteins found in HDL [12].
  • The affinity and kinetics of the OX40L/OX40 interactions were studied using the BIAcoreTM biosensor, which measures macromolecular interactions in real time [13].
  • However, somewhat paradoxically, the initial activation of T cells responsive to islet beta cell Ag was slightly faster and more efficient in the absence of OX40L, with an increased degree of cell proliferation and survival in the deficient hosts [3].
  • The present results orchestrated in this study indicate that OX40/OX40L interaction may be a vital link in our understanding of T cell-mediated organ-specific autoimmunity [14].
  • A necessary role for OX40 in the development and homeostasis of Treg cells can be inferred from the reduced numbers of the cells present in the spleens of OX40-deficient mice, and their elevated numbers in the spleens of mice that overexpress the OX40 ligand (OX40L) [15].
 

Anatomical context of Tnfsf4

 

Associations of Tnfsf4 with chemical compounds

  • Recent in vitro studies have established that activated B cells express OX40 ligand (L), a member of the tumor necrosis factor/nerve growth factor family of cytokines, and become stimulated to proliferate and secrete immunoglobulin (Ig) after cross-linking of OX40L by its counterreceptor OX40, which is expressed on activated T cells [17].
  • Here we identify and characterize an MCMV-encoded glycoprotein, gp34, which tightly associates with properly conformed MHC class I molecules in the ER [11].
  • In addition, we found that K(b) retained by the MCMV immune evasion gene m152 formed a novel type of complex with Endo H-sensitive m4/gp34; these complexes are distinguished from the exported complexes by being stable in 1% digitonin and unstable in 1% Nonidet P-40 [18].
  • Furthermore, glucocorticoids, which potently suppress T effector function, did not influence the expression of OX40L and CD30L in the presence of IL-7 [19].
  • The cell surface expression of CD24, CD40, CD54, CD80, CD86, OX40L and MHC class II molecules was barely altered following infection with unopsonized promastigotes or amastigotes from nude mice or with C3-coated promastigotes [20].
 

Regulatory relationships of Tnfsf4

  • However, OX40L can also stimulate CD8 T cells and 4-1BBL can influence CD4 T cells, raising the possibility of redundancy between the two TNFR family costimulators [21].
  • Costimulation via OX40L expressed by B cells is sufficient to determine the extent of primary CD4 cell expansion and Th2 cytokine secretion in vivo [22].
  • Effector cells taken 5 days after naive T cell activation reexpressed Ox-40 within 4 h and responded strongly to APCs expressing Ox-40L, whereas B7-1 had little effect [23].
  • OX40 ligand expression was also down-regulated on rapidly proliferating Th1 effectors [24].
  • Elevations in IL-4 production and total and Ag-specific serum IgE levels were partially inhibited during both the primary and memory immune responses to H. polygyrus in OX40L(-/-) mice [25].
