Memory B Cell Follicular Helper T Cells & Regulation of B Cell Immunity Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells represent a functional subset of CD4+ of the B cell follicle where they interact with -primed B cells (). helper T (Th) cells that provides help for B cells to allow the formation of The T cells also respond to IL-6 with the activation of the transcription plasma cells and long-lived memory B cells. Tfh cells are characterized factors cMAF and STAT3, and the induction of IL-21 expression. IL-6 and by the elevated expression of CXCR5, CD40L, OX40, ICOS, PD-1, Bcl-6, the autocrine action of IL-21 stimulate activated T cells to express Bcl-6, SLAM receptors, and IL-21. Though other Th subsets express these the master transcription factor that controls Tfh cell differentiation. Bcl- , it is the relatively high expression levels that delineates Tfh 6, a transcriptional repressor, suppresses factors that mediate the cells and enhances their capacity to facilitate production. Tfh differentiation of Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells. In addition, Bcl-6 indirectly cells are believed to be involved in angioimmunoblastic induces the expression of accessory proteins, such as CXCR4 and PD-1, and several autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus by repressing clusters of microRNAs that negatively regulate these erythematosus and Sjogren’s syndrome. molecules. The synergistic actions of Bcl-6 and cMAF, in conjunction with CD28, OX40, and ICOS stimulation in Tfh cells, induce a sustained Though the complete differentiation process for Tfh cells is still being increase in CXCR5 expression. CXCR5 directs migration into B cell investigated, it has been shown that naïve CD4+ T (Th0) cells expressing follicles where Tfh cells interact with B cells called CCR7 chemokine receptor are chemoattracted to the T cell zone of the (). Tfh cells secrete IL-10, IL-21, and small amounts of IL-2, secondary lymphoid tissue by CCL19 and CCL21 (). In the T cell zone, IL-4, IL-17, and IFN-g, to stimulate centrocytes to generate antibody- Th0 cells are activated by antigen-presenting dendritic cells and express producing plasma cells and memory B cells ().
