However, whether it also plays a role in conventional CD4^＋ T cell function remains unclear. Here we report that in perforin-deficient （PKO） mice, CD4^＋ T cells are hyperproliferative in response to T cell receptor （TCR） stimulation. This feature of hyperproliferation is accompanied by the enhancement both in cell division and in IL-2 secretion. It seems that the perforin deficiency does not influence T cell development in thymus spleen and lymph node. In vivo, perforin deficiency results in increased antigen-specific T cell proliferation and antibody production. Furthermore, PKO mice are more susceptible to experimental autoimmune uveitis. To address the molecular mechanism, we found that after TCR stimulation, CD4^＋ T cells from PKO mice display an increased intracellular calcium flux and subsequently enhance activation of transcription factor NFAT1. Our results indicate that perforin plays a negative role in regulating CD4^＋ T cell activation and immune response by affecting TCR-dependent Ca^2＋ signaling.展开更多

The influence of the flexibility and length of the caudal fin on the locomotion of swimming fish through this simplified model, whereas the fish body is modeled by the undulating foil and the caudal fin by the plate passively flapping as a consequence of fluid-structure interaction. It is found that the plate flexibility denoted by the bending stiffness, as well as the length ratio of tail and body, plays an important role in improving thrust generation and propulsive efficiency. It is also revealed that there exists a parameter region of the plate length and stiffness, in which positive propeller efficiency can be achieved. The effect of the passively flapping flexible plate on the pressure field and the vortex production on the wake is further discussed. It is found that when the length ratio of caudal fin and body is greater than 0.2, a reverse von Kármán vortex street occurs when the bending stiffness is about greater than 1.0, and a great thrust is generated as a result of a large pressure difference occurring across the flexible plate. This work provides physical insight into the role of the caudal fin in fish swimming and may inspire the design of robotic fish.展开更多
