Abstract
Integrin αvβ3 is a heterodimeric structural protein of the plasma membrane that bears a cell surface receptor for thyroid hormone. The functions of this receptor are distinct from those of the classical nuclear receptor (TR) for thyroid hormone. The integrin is expressed primarily...

Abstract
We have, therefore, analysed the association of six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the three genes belonging to the NR4A orphan nuclear receptor family, NR4A1 (rs2603751, rs2701124), NR4A2 (rs12803, rs834835) and NR4A3 (rs1131339, rs1405209), with the degree of smoking in a sample of...

Abstract
We demonstrated that liganded TR activated LAT transcription, but repressed infected cell protein no. 0 (ICP0) transcription in the presence of LAT TRE. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays showed that TRs were recruited to LAT TREs independently of T(3) and hyperacetylated H4 was associated...

Abstract
Because of their central importance in gene regulation and mediating the actions of many hormones, the nuclear receptors (NRs) have long been recognized as very important biological and pharmaceutical targets. Of all the surfaces available on a given NR, the singular site for regulation of receptor...

Abstract
We performed serial deletions of the promoter and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. The T(3) response element on the spondin 2 promoter was localized in the -1104/-1034 or -984/-925 regions. To explore the effect of spondin 2 on cellular function, spondin 2 knockdown cell lines were established...

Abstract
We identify the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) as a key negative regulator of human and mouse Th17 differentiation.

Introduction. In CV-1 cells, shuttling from cytoplasm to nucleus of the nuclear thyroid hormone receptor-β1 (TRβ1, TR) is shown in this report to be regulated by extracellular thyroid hormone at a hormone receptor on cell surface integrin αv3.

In contrast to CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells inherently differentiate into IFN-gamma-producing effectors. Accordingly, while generation of IFN-gamma-producing Th1 CD4 T cells was profoundly impaired in mice deficient for both type-I IFN and IL-12 signaling in response to infection with Listeria monocytog...

Abstract
We show that Batf is required for the differentiation of IL17-producing T helper (T(H)17) cells. T(H)17 cells comprise a CD4(+) T-cell subset that coordinates inflammatory responses in host defence but is pathogenic in autoimmunity. Batf(-/-) mice have normal T(H)1 and T(H)2 differentiation, but sho...
