Ag-specific effector/memory CD8+ T cells play an important role, not only in viral eradication, but also in T cell-mediated tumor rejection. Increasing evidence suggests that TGF-beta plays a critical role in the tumor escape from immune surveillance. Although it is known that TGF-beta directly suppresses the activation of naïve T cells, the direct effects of TGF-beta on effector/memory CD8+ T cells have not yet been fully investigated. The present study evaluated the effect of TGF-beta on effector/memory CD8+ T cells using Ag-specific, mouse-derived, effector/memory CD8+ T cell clones, designated as 6C2. Notably, pretreatment of TGF-beta1 caused an approximate 100% enhancement of IFN-gamma production in response to peptide stimulation. TGFbeta-RI kinase inhibitor reduced the enhancement of peptide-induced IFN-gamma secretion by TGF-beta1. In addition, either Activin-A or BMP-4 pretreatment caused an approximate 100% enhancement of IFN-gamma production in the peptide effect. These results suggest a contradictory effect of the TGF-beta superfamily on effector/memory CD8+ T cells.

D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.

D000077293 Receptor, Transforming Growth Factor-beta Type I A transmembrane serine-threonine kinase that forms a heteromeric complex with TYPE II TGF-BETA RECEPTORS to bind TGF-BETA and regulate a variety of physiological and pathological processes including CELL CYCLE ARREST; CELL PROLIFERATION; CELL DIFFERENTIATION; WOUND HEALING; EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX production, immunosuppression and ONCOGENESIS.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012834 Silver An element with the atomic symbol Ag, atomic number 47, and atomic weight 107.87. It is a soft metal that is used medically in surgical instruments, dental prostheses, and alloys. Long-continued use of silver salts can lead to a form of poisoning known as ARGYRIA.
D016212 Transforming Growth Factor beta A factor synthesized in a wide variety of tissues. It acts synergistically with TGF-alpha in inducing phenotypic transformation and can also act as a negative autocrine growth factor. TGF-beta has a potential role in embryonal development, cellular differentiation, hormone secretion, and immune function. TGF-beta is found mostly as homodimer forms of separate gene products TGF-beta1, TGF-beta2 or TGF-beta3. Heterodimers composed of TGF-beta1 and 2 (TGF-beta1.2) or of TGF-beta2 and 3 (TGF-beta2.3) have been isolated. The TGF-beta proteins are synthesized as precursor proteins.

D053773 Transforming Growth Factor beta1 A subtype of transforming growth factor beta that is synthesized by a wide variety of cells. It is synthesized as a precursor molecule that is cleaved to form mature TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta1 latency-associated peptide. The association of the cleavage products results in the formation a latent protein which must be activated to bind its receptor. Defects in the gene that encodes TGF-beta1 are the cause of CAMURATI-ENGELMANN SYNDROME.
