In this study, we report that CD226 is also expressed on mouse thymocytes at varying developmental stages, and its expression is associated with resistance of thymocytes to apoptosis. The levels of CD226 expression appeared to be closely coupled with thymocyte development, in that it was preferentially expressed on CD4+CD8\u2212 and CD4\u2212CD8+ thymocytes at all stages during mouse development, and was markedly increased on the cells in neonatal mice. Of the CD4+CD8+ population, CD226 was predominantly expressed by the cells also positive for CD69, suggesting that CD226 expression may be induced in thymocyte-positive selection. Inhibition of CD226 by short hairpin RNA in a fetal thymus organ culture model led to reduced thymus cellularity, which was associated with enhanced apoptotic cell death. In contrast, CD226-transgenic mice displayed enlarged thymus lobes resulting from increased thymus cellularity. CD226 on thymocytes seemed to play a role in regulating the expression of survivin, as inhibition of CD226 down-regulated survivin, but overexpression of CD226 rescued thymocytes from apoptosis through up-regulation of survivin. In addition, overexpression of CD226 reduced sensitivity of EL-4 thymoma cells to apoptosis by up-regulating the expression of survivin. Taken together, these results indicate that CD226 is an antiapoptotic molecule and may play an important role in murine thymocyte development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.0803090","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,4,21]],"date-time":"2009-04-21T01:07:38Z","timestamp":1240276058000},"page":"5453-5460","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Expression of CD226 Antagonizes Apoptotic Cell Death in Murine Thymocytes"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"182","author":[{"given":"Liang","family":"Fang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinhai","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology"},{"name":"Oncology Research Institute and Cancer Treatment Center, Greenville Hospital System , Greenville, SC 29605"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Miao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Etiology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fang","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational and Environmental Health, Fourth Military Medical University , Xi\u2019an,","place":["People\u2019s Republic of China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kun","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ran","family":"Zhuang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hermann","family":"Bujard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zentrum fuer Molekulare Biologie der Universitaet Heidelberg , Heidelberg,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanzhang","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oncology Research Institute and Cancer Treatment Center, Greenville Hospital System , Greenville, SC 29605"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angang","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lihua","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Boquan","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026012807043588300_R1","first-page":"573","article-title":"DNAM-1, a novel adhesion molecule involved in the cytolytic function of T lymphocytes.","volume-title":"Immunity","year":"1996"},{"key":"2026012807043588300_R2","first-page":"21735","article-title":"TLiSA1 (PTA1) activation antigen implicated in T cell differentiation and platelet activation is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily exhibiting distinctive regulation of expression.","volume-title":"J.
