Outline of Final Research Achievements |
TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 6(TRAF6) is a cytoplasmic adaptor protein that is necessary for the activation of dendritic cells in response to Toll-like TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 6(TRAF6) mediates the signaling from the members of the TNF receptor and the TLR/IL-1R superfamilies. Because it is a T cell-intrinsic negative regulator required for the maintenance of immune homeostasis, genetically engineered T cell-specific TRAF6-deficient mice show multiorgan inflammatory disease such as sialadenitis. By gene expression microarray analysis, immunohistochemistry and clinical findings, our study showed that TRAF6-deficient mice also display dry eye like Sjogren's syndrome.
