Inflammatory responses are controlled by T helper 1 (Th1) lymphocytes. An important function of this polarity is the ability of T cells to traffick appropriately in vivo. This differential trafficking is dependent upon the binding of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 to P- and E-selectin on inflamed endothelium as well as the expression of specific chemokine receptors. Here we show that in the absence of T-box expressed in T cells (T-bet), selective migration of T cells in vivo is completely abrogated and that T-bet regulates the binding of CD4(+) T cells to P-selectin. T-bet is also required for the expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR3. Thus, T-bet controls Th1-cell migration to inflammatory sites, which has fundamental consequences for the control of immunologic disease.

Correlation and diagnostic significance of CD4 T cell subsets and NLRP3 inflammasome in ulcerative colitis: the role of the NLRP3/T-bet/GATA3 axis.

Background And Aim: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by complex immunological interactions involving CD4 T cell subsets and the NLRP3 inflammasome, which influence inflammatory responses. This investigation focused on delineating the activation profiles of these components and their correlation with disease severity and activity, assessing their diagnostic implications in UC.
Methods: We conducted immunohistochemistry and ELISA assays to measure markers expression of CD4 T cell subsets and the NLRP3 inflammasome in UC patients versus controls.
Metabolic Stress expands Polyfunctional, Proinflammatory Th cells in Psoriatic Arthritis, where there is IL-23-independent IL-17 production.

Objective: Genetic associations and blockade of the interleukin-23/IL-17 axis with monoclonal antibodies support a role for this pathway in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). This study examines the requirement of IL-23 for IL-17 production, and the role of the metabolic microenvironment in the expansion of Th-derived cells in PsA.
Methods: PsA patient synovial fluid or peripheral blood Th cell frequencies were evaluated by flow cytometry using CCR6, CD161 and T-bet as phenotypic markers, and the cytokines IFN-γ, GM-CSF and IL-17 assessed by flow cytometry and ELISA.
Memory Phenotype Tfh Cells Develop Without Overt Infection and Support Germinal Center Formation and B Cell Responses to Viral Infection.

Pathogen-induced memory Tfh cells are important to maintain high-affinity antibodies against pathogens. We have now discovered Tfh cells with a similar memory phenotype (MP) that develop in pathogen-free conditions. These MP Tfh cells are similar to pathogen-induced memory Tfh in both phenotype and function.

Article Synopsis
- Early pregnancy features high levels of natural killer (NK) cells at the maternal-fetal interface, which are crucial for fetal development and remodeling uterine arteries.
- Aberrant activity of decidual NK (dNK) cells is linked to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), but the exact molecular mechanisms behind their function need more research.
- This study highlights that downregulation of miR-122-5p in dNK cells from RPL patients affects their function, suggesting that miR-122-5p may play a role in maintaining immune tolerance during pregnancy.
Differentiation fate of a stem-like CD4 T cell controls immunity to cancer.

The T cell response to cancer controls disease progression and response to immunotherapy. Despite extensive knowledge regarding CD8 T cells, how CD4 T cells contribute to this process is less well understood. Here we identified a population of PD1TCF1 CD4 T cells with stem-like properties that are capable of self-renewal and differentiation into canonical CD4 effector cells.
