CCL2 Inhibits the Apoptosis Program Induced by Growth Factor Deprivation, Rescuing Functional T Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The precise mechanisms involved in the switch between the clonal expansion and contraction phases of a CD8(+) T cell response remain to be fully elucidated. One of the mechanisms implicated in the contraction phase is cytokine deprivation, which triggers apoptosis in these cells. CCR2 chemokine receptor is up-regulated following IL-2 deprivation, and its ligand CCL2 plays an essential role preventing apoptosis induced by IL-2 withdrawal not only in CTLL2 cells, but also in mouse Ag-activated primary CD8(+) T cells because it rescued functional CD8(+) T cells from deprivation induced apoptosis, promoting proliferation in response to subsequent addition of IL-2 or to secondary antigenic challenges. Thus, up-regulation of the CCR2 upon growth factor withdrawal together with the protective effects of CCL2, represent a double-edged survival strategy, protecting cells from apoptosis and enabling them to migrate toward sites where Ag and/or growth factors are available.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
