Induction and molecular signature of pathogenic TH17 cells
- Youjin V Lee, Amit Awasthi, +10 authors V. Kuchroo
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Immunology
- 7 August 2012
Interleukin 17 (IL-17)-producing helper T cells (TH17 cells) are often present at the sites of tissue inflammation in autoimmune diseases, which has led to the conclusion that TH17 cells are main… Expand

Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory demyelinating disease affecting the central nervous system and considered one of the leading causes of disability in young adults. The precise cause of multiple… Expand
Alterations of the human gut microbiome in multiple sclerosis
- Sushrut Jangi, R. Gandhi, +22 authors H. Weiner
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature communications
- 28 June 2016
The gut microbiome plays an important role in immune function and has been implicated in several autoimmune disorders. Here we use 16S rRNA sequencing to investigate the gut microbiome in subjects… Expand
An endogenous aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligand acts on dendritic cells and T cells to suppress experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
- F. Quintana, G. Murugaiyan, +4 authors H. Weiner
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 10 November 2010
The ligand-activated transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) participates in the differentiation of FoxP3+ Treg, Tr1 cells, and IL-17–producing T cells (Th17). Most of our understanding… Expand
IL-27 acts on DCs to suppress the T cell response and autoimmunity by inducing expression of the immunoregulatory molecule CD39
- I. Mascanfroni, A. Yeste, +10 authors F. Quintana
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Immunology
- 1 October 2013
Dendritic cells (DCs) control the balance between effector T cells and regulatory T cells in vivo. Hence, the study of DCs might identify mechanisms of disease pathogenesis and guide new therapeutic… Expand
Tolerogenic dendritic cells
- M. C. Takenaka, F. Quintana
- Biology, Medicine
- Seminars in Immunopathology
- 1 February 2017
Deficits in immunological tolerance against self-antigens and antigens provided by the diet and commensal microbiota can result in the development of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Dendritic… Expand
Regulation of astrocyte activation by glycolipids drives chronic CNS inflammation
- Lior Mayo, S. Trauger, +13 authors F. Quintana
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Medicine
- 1 October 2014
Astrocytes have complex roles in health and disease, thus it is important to study the pathways that regulate their function. Here we report that lactosylceramide (LacCer) synthesized by… Expand
Circulating MicroRNAs as biomarkers for disease staging in multiple sclerosis
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single‐stranded, small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Because they are stable in serum, they are being developed as biomarkers for cancer and other diseases. In… Expand
Interleukin-10 receptor signaling in innate immune cells regulates mucosal immune tolerance and anti-inflammatory macrophage function.
- D. Shouval, Amlan Biswas, +26 authors Scott B. Snapper
- Biology, Medicine
- Immunity
- 15 May 2014
Intact interleukin-10 receptor (IL-10R) signaling on effector and T regulatory (Treg) cells are each independently required to maintain immune tolerance. Here we show that IL-10 sensing by innate… Expand
Activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor induces human type 1 regulatory T cell–like and Foxp3+ regulatory T cells
- R. Gandhi, D. Kumar, +6 authors F. Quintana
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Immunology
- 1 September 2010
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) participates in the differentiation of mouse regulatory T cells (Treg cells) and interleukin 17 (IL-17)-producing helper T cells (TH17 cells), but its role in… Expand
