Abstract

As a critical linker between mTORC1 and mTORC2, Akt is important for the cell metabolism. The role of Akt in the function and development of B and T cells is well characterized, however, the role of Akt for development and function of iNKT cells is unknown. iNKT cells bridge the adaptive and innate immunity, and in this study, we found that the differentiation of NKT17 cells and IL17 production of NKT17 cells were disrupted in Akt2 KO mice. ICOS has been demonstrated to be critical for the differentiation of NKT17 cells and we found that ICOS mRNA and protein expression was reduced in Akt2 KO iNKT cells. As a consequence, phosphorylation of FoxO-1 was downregulated in Akt2 KO thymocytes but the sequestration of FoxO-1 in the nucleus of Akt2 KO iNKT cells was increased. The negative feedback loop between ICOS and FoxO-1 has been demonstrated in CD4+T follicular helper cells. Therefore our study has revealed a new intracellular mechanism in which Akt2 regulates ICOS expression via FoxO-1 and this signaling axis regulates the differentiation and function of NKT17 cells. This study provides a new linker between cell metabolism and function of iNKT cells.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 September 2019.
All research outputs
#17,492,431
of 25,658,541 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in immunology
#20,649
of 32,130 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#225,442
of 348,768 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in immunology
#444
of 639 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,658,541 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 32,130 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.4. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 348,768 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 639 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
