H1 PD 1 PATHWAYS IN THE INHIBITION OF T CELL ACTIVATION

Inhibition of PI3K/Akt partially leads to the inhibition ofPrPC-induced drug resistance in gastric cancer cellsJie Liang*, Fulin Ge*, Changcun Guo, Guanhong Luo, Xin Wang, Guohong Han, Dexin Zhang,Jianhong Wang, Kai Li, Yanglin Pan, Liping Yao, Zhanxin Yin, Xuegang[r]

documented that the il-2 locus is methylated in anergiccells (and Tregs) [55–57]. It is entirely possible thatan E3 may regulate chromatin structure or histonedeacetylation. How chromatin (nucleosome remodel-ing), histone deacetylation and DNA hypermethylationall contribute to maintaining [r]

Foxp3 expression following allogeneic MLR. Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry after an 8-day MLR. BrdU incorpora-tion was determined on gated CD4+CD25+ or CD8+CD25+ T cells (A; top panel). Gated CD4+ or CD8+ T cells were ana-lyzed for the detection of CD25+Foxp3+ cells[r]

(Fig. 3A). This stimulation was reduced significantly in bothcell lines by wortmannin, suggesting that activation of PI3Kprecedes that of GS. This proposition is consistent with theobservation that the inhibition of GSK3 (mediated by PKB)and the act[r]
