Fas is the receptor of tumor necrosis family receptors (TNFR) and involves in apoptosis. Since discovery of T helper 17 cells (Th17) in 2005, which are defined as a new type of helper T cells, it has become clear that the dysregulated function Th17 cells and their cytokines could contribute to pathology of diseases including autoimmune diseases and cancer. There is not much known about apoptotic and survival mechanisms of Th17 cells in the literature. Therefore, the players of apoptotic cell death in Th17 cells were investigated in the study. To carry out designed experiments, venous blood were drawn from the healthy volunteers with approval from the Noninvasive Ethics Committee. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from blood with Ficoll separation method. The naïve CD4+ T cells were sorted from the PBMC. Sorted naive T cells were cultured under Th17 polarizing conditions. The activation, differentiation and apoptosis related molecules of cultured cells were monitored by Flow cytometry. Data showed that naive CD4+ T cells were activated and differentiated into Th17 cells. Activated Th17 cells were Fas positive. Activated, Fas positive Th17 cells did not underwent significant plasma membrane changes. Furthermore, it was also observed that there was not much change in the Bcl-2 protein level. Bcl-2 protein is belongs to B-cell-lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) family proteins and is major regulator of intrinsic apoptotic pathway as promoting cell survival. In addition to that the expression of Bclx-L, is an anti-apoptotic protein, were increased in these cells. Data indicates that Th17 cells (under Th17 polarization condition) were increased expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members.

Untoward effector CD4+ T cell responses are kept in check by immune regulatory mechanisms mediated by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. CD4+ T helper 17 (Th17) cells, characterized by IL-17 production, play important roles in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases (such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, among others) and in the host response to infection and cancer. Here, we demonstrate that human CD4+ T cells cells exposed to a Th17-differentiating milieu are significantly more resistant to immune suppression by CD8+ T cells compared to control Th0 cells. This resistance is mediated, in part, through the action of IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-17AF heterodimer through their receptors (IL-17RA and IL-17RC) on CD4+ T cells themselves, but not through their action on CD8+ T cells or APC. We further show that IL-17 can directly act on non-Th17 effector CD4+ T cells to induce suppressive resistance, and this resistance can be reversed by blockade of IL-1β, IL-6, or STAT3. These studies reveal a role for IL-17 cytokines in mediating CD4-intrinsic immune resistance. The pathways induced in this process may serve as a critical target for future investigation and immunotherapeutic intervention.

T lymphocytes play a primary role in recovery from viral infections and in antiviral immunity. Although viral-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells have been shown to be able to lyse virally infected targets in vitro and promote recovery from lethal infection in vivo, the role of CD4+ T lymphocytes and their mechanism(s) of action in viral immunity are not well understood. The ability to further dissect the role that CD4+ T cells play in the immune response to a number of pathogens has been greatly enhanced by evidence for more extensive heterogeneity among the CD4+ T lymphocytes. To further examine the role of CD4+ T cells in the immune response to influenza infection, we have generated influenza virus-specific CD4+ T cell clones from influenza-primed BALB/c mice with differential cytokine secretion profiles that are defined as T helper type 1 (Th1) clones by the production of interleukin 2 (IL-2) and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), or as Th2 clones by the production of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10. Our studies have revealed that Th1 clones are cytolytic in vitro and protective against lethal challenge with virus in vivo, whereas Th2 clones are noncytolytic and not protective. Upon further evaluation of these clonal populations we have shown that not only are the Th2 clones nonprotective, but that pulmonary pathology is exacerbated as compared with control mice as evidenced by delayed viral clearance and massive pulmonary eosinophilia. These data suggest that virus-specific CD4+ T cells of the Th2 subset may not play a primary role in virus clearance and recovery and may lead to immune mediated potentiation of injury.
