(P) Graphical summary of TRPM7-(in)dependent T-cell activation and differentiation towards iT reg and iT H 17 cells. Pharmacological blockade of TRPM7 reduces intracellular Mg 2+ levels, leads to reduced Ca 2+ signaling and results in reduced IL-2 secretion, impaired up-regulation of T-cell activation markers CD69 and CD25, and diminished proliferation upon TCR stimulus (left). TRPM7 inhibition during polarization of naïve CD4 T cells into iT reg cells preserves FOXP3 + signals of CD25 + CD127 lo iT reg cells. Polarization of naïve CD4 T cells into iT H 17 cells results in augmented RORƔt expression in the presence of 6 mM Mg 2+ , which is reduced upon TRPM7 inhibition, highlighting the need for Mg 2+ uptake and related TRPM7-dependent intracellular signaling for iT H 17 cell polarization (right).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Aβp3–42 treatments increase Rem-CAR, Adu-CAR and Lec-CAR-expressing CD69 positive populations. a Schematic overview of the experiments. After Aβp3–42 treatments for 48 h, the media was collected for analysis of IL-2 by ELISA and the cells for analysis of EGFP expression, viability, and CD69 expression by flow cytometry. b – g Total number of live cells remaining after Aβp3–42 treatments at indicated concentrations for b untransduced, c E2814-CAR, d Rem-CAR, e Don-CAR, f Lec-CAR, and g Adu-CAR clones. h – m Percentage of CD69-positive (CD69 + ) live cells across Aβp3–42 treatments for h untransduced, i E2814-CAR, j Rem-CAR, k Don-CAR, l Lec-CAR, and m Adu-CAR clones. m Adu-CAR clones are missing the 5 μM treatment condition because it violated the assumption of normality. Non-parametric test available in Table 9 g.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Aβ1-42 treatment and CD3/CD28 beads increase CD69 expression in Adu-CAR-expressing CD4⁺ T cells. a–c Schematic representations of the multicistronic constructs: a Adu-CAR:mFoxp3:EGFP, b mFoxp3:EGFP, and c MIGR:EGFP. All constructs utilize the MIGR1 retroviral transfer vector and incorporate 2A sequences to enable polycistronic expression. The term “MIGR” in MIGR:EGFP denotes the vector backbone and is used to distinguish the construct from endogenous EGFP positivity. d – f Mean-normalized percentages of CD69-positive transduced (EGFP⁺) cells following treatment, analyzed separately for d MIGR:EGFP, e mFoxp3:EGFP, and f Adu-CAR:mFoxp3:EGFP. g – i Mean-normalized percentages of CD25-positive transduced (EGFP⁺) cells for the same constructs: g MIGR:EGFP, h mFoxp3:EGFP, and i Adu-CAR:mFoxp3:EGFP. Statistical comparisons: d – f , i Games–Howell and g , h Tukey’s multiple comparisons. Full statistical details are provided in Tables 12a–f. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.
