lüll Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor: a novel mediator of T cell tolerance Rutella S; Zavala F; Danese S; Kared H; Leone GJ Immunol 2005[Dec]; 175 (11): 7085-91In recent years, several investigators have unraveled a previously unrecognized role for G-CSF in the regulation of T cell and dendritic cell functions. The experimental evidence in favor of G-CSF-mediated immune regulation includes the ability to switch T cell cytokine secretion profile to Th2 responses and the promotion of regulatory T cell and tolerogenic dendritic cell differentiation. Interestingly, G-CSF is beneficial in animals for the prevention and/or treatment of immune-mediated diseases, e.g., graft-vs-host disease, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, and diabetes, suggesting a potential role in human autoimmune diseases. This review summarizes the growing body of evidence that supports a critical role for G-CSF as a novel mediator of T cell tolerance.|Animals[MESH]|Antigen Presentation/immunology[MESH]|Autoimmune Diseases/drug therapy[MESH]|Cytokines/immunology[MESH]|Dendritic Cells/immunology[MESH]|Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor/*immunology/therapeutic use[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immune Tolerance/*immunology[MESH]|Signal Transduction/*immunology[MESH]|T-Lymphocytes/*immunology[MESH] |
