Abstract
The thymus is the key immune organ for the development of T cells. Different populations of thymic stromal cells interact with T cells, thereby controlling the dynamic development of T cells through their differentiation and function. Proteostasis represents a balance between protein expression, folding, and modification and protein clearance, and its fluctuation usually depends at least partially on related protein regulatory systems for further survival and effects. However, in terms of the substantial requirement for self-antigens and their processing burden, increasing evidence highlights that protein regulation contributes to the physiological effects of thymic stromal cells. Impaired proteostasis may expedite the progression of thymic involution and dysfunction, accompanied by the development of autoimmune diseases or thymoma. Hence, in this review, we summarize the regulation of proteostasis within different types of thymic stromal cells under physiological and pathological conditions to identify potential targets for thymic regeneration and immunotherapy.
胸腺是 T 细胞发育的关键免疫器官。不同的胸腺基质细胞群与 T 细胞相互作用，从而通过其分化和功能控制 T 细胞的动态发育。蛋白质稳态代表了蛋白质表达、折叠和修饰与蛋白质清除之间的平衡，其波动通常至少部分依赖于相关的蛋白质调节系统，以获得进一步的生存和效应。然而，就对自身抗原的大量需求及其处理负担而言，越来越多的证据表明，蛋白质调节有助于胸腺基质细胞的生理效应。蛋白稳态受损可能会加速胸腺萎缩和功能障碍的进展，并伴随着自身免疫性疾病或胸腺瘤的发展。因此，在这篇综述中，我们总结了不同类型的胸腺基质细胞在生理和病理条件下的蛋白稳态调控，以确定胸腺再生和免疫疗法的潜在靶点。
期刊介绍：
The Protein Journal (formerly the Journal of Protein Chemistry) publishes original research work on all aspects of proteins and peptides. These include studies concerned with covalent or three-dimensional structure determination (X-ray, NMR, cryoEM, EPR/ESR, optical methods, etc.), computational aspects of protein structure and function, protein folding and misfolding, assembly, genetics, evolution, proteomics, molecular biology, protein engineering, protein nanotechnology, protein purification and analysis and peptide synthesis, as well as the elucidation and interpretation of the molecular bases of biological activities of proteins and peptides. We accept original research papers, reviews, mini-reviews, hypotheses, opinion papers, and letters to the editor.
